Extraordinary Flora Remembrance card
Hello all! I know I'm getting this post up a bit late, but things are a little chaotic at the moment. Hopefully, it will slip back into a normal rhythm soon. In the meantime, I made this card to show how versatile and useful the Extraordinary Flora bundle can be without using the coordinating washi tape and to show various techniques for easy coloring. You can watch the tutorial over on my YouTube channel.

Turtle-y Sweet treat box
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I have a treat box I've designed for you today. It features the Turtle-y Awesome bundle by Stampin' Up! Demonstrators were able to watch a behind the scenes video where the product designer shared she had also designed the Darling Dinos bundle. It made me think the sizes might correspond and be compatible. When I researched my hunch, I found that you can interchange some of the elements between the two. How fun is that! This makes both sets far more versatile don't you agree? I hope you find this box useful. It's a 3" x 3" x 1" square pizza box style. To watch the video replay on how I put my box together, head on over to my YouTube channel and see the tutorial.

Turtle-y Grateful For You all year
For my card today, I've made a card that is both quick and easy. It has very little stamping and uses mostly Designer Series Paper for the decorations. When I was making it, I was thinking that it could be a Father's Day card, but for those who don't have father's, it could be for any BBQ chef in your life. To see how easy it is to put together, be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

Turtle-y Awesome June birthday card
This week I am playing with the Turtle-y Cute suite of products. I didn't want to make just any birthday card though, I wanted to make it specific to the recipient because that makes it more personal. So, what better bundle to use than Year of Flowers? I found the flowers in the stamp set to coordinate perfectly with the turtles as if they were meant to be. To see how I've put this card together, be sure to head on over to my YouTube channel where you can watch the video replay.

Sweet Jar love you more than
For my card today, I was thinking of a conversation I had with my dad last Sunday. He was telling me how much he loved having cookies with his coffee in the morning. I thought this card would make a good Father's Day card for him along with a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies. To see how I've put it together, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.

Sweet Jar Make a Wish Decorative fun fold
This week I'm going to focus on the Sweet Jar bundle of products by Stampin' Up! It was released at the beginning of May in the Online Exclusives category, meaning only that it isn't in any publication. For my card today, I've combined the images with several dies sets to create my birthday card. I hope you like it and that it will inspire to make some birthday cards of your own to send to friends and loved ones. To see the video tutorial of how I put it together, be sure to head on over to my YouTube channel.

Cutest Cows meets Impressions Abloom in a cookie box
I have a treat box today which uses new product, Impressions Abloom, and mixes with older product, Cutest Cows, (currently in the last chance category in my online store and discounted.) I had purchased a large box of limited-edition Keebler®️ butterbeer flavored mini cookies. I finally got around to making a box for them. I had a hard time because of the Harry Potter theme and not having any supplies for that. So I had this great idea last night (at least I thought it was) to combine the Impressions Abloom flowers with the milk can and cow as butter is made from milk products and butter is used in the making of butterscotch. I know, its a stretch but it did turn out pretty cute don't you think? You can watch the video tutorial on making this box over on my YouTube channel.

Sending good vibes two-tone floral card
For my card today, I've focused on using the new two-tone cardstock that Stampin' Up! has recently released in all our colors. I thought I'd give it a try and show my customers how it looks and what you can do with it. I do love the options for two colors of cardstock from the same sheet of paper. On my card today, I've used the Petunia Pop & Old Olive two-tone. Because the two-tone cardstock has a white core (as compared to our dyed-through 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock) you can do some fun techniques with it. Be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

Fun Fold card with Floral Impressions suite of products by Stampin' Up!
One of my friends challenged me to recreate the fun fold of a card she had seen online. The blog post didn't have measurements and/or a tutorial of any sort. So, I set to work trying to figure out the measurements and how it had been done. The card below is what I came up with. I hope you like it. The fun fold is extremely easy to make. I hope you recreate one like it using your supplies. To see the video replay on how I put my card together, watch the video over on my YouTube channel.

Theater Candy treat box with Gallery Blooms, Paper Tags
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there today! I hope you are enjoying a day of relaxation and spoiling. I made these boxes with the idea they could be given on Mother's Day to your mothers, friends, family, etc. They would also make a great teacher's gift or small birthday gift for a friend who loves Junior Mints like me! They are so easy to make, you can knock them out pretty quickly if you still need something special to give to your mom. To see how I put this box together, you can watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.
Forever Loved, Forever Remembered with Gallery Blooms
Today I'm using the Gallery Blooms bundle and pairing it with a sentiment stamp set from the 2025-2026 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. My grandson just lost his paternal great-grandmother, and I thought it would be nice to make this card for him and his family members. Remembrance cards/Sympathy cards are the hardest to make in the moment of loss. I like to keep some on hand in case I need them. To see how I've put my card together, you can watch the video replay over on YouTube.
