Happy birthday to my eldest grandson Kaleb! For today's project, I have a quick and easy bookmark you can put inside a card and have a gift in a card for a book lover in your life. I was inspired for this bookmark by Jacque Williams from Australia for this one. I've changed it up just a bit and you can see how easy it is to make by watching my YouTube video tutorial. If you missed the coordinating card on Wednesday, be sure to check that one out also. You will find both tutorials in one video by clicking this link.
A place to share my love for paper crafting as an independent Stampin' Up!®️ Demonstrator.

Hobby Haven DSP birthday card
Hello everyone! I hope you are spending time with family and friends this holiday season. I finished up my shopping (I think!) yesterday and will be taking some time off to enjoy time with family and friends. I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Holidays, Happy Hannukah or whatever it is you are celebrating this time of year. From our home to yours, good health and good wishes.
For my project today I was inspired by Jacque Williams, a demonstrator in Australia. I'm using product from the November Online Exclusives, annual catalog and we even have a sneak peek item from the upcoming Jan-April 2026 mini catalog by Stampin' Up! I hope you enjoy this project. It's pretty quick to put together once you fussy cut the images. There is a video tutorial available over on my YouTube channel. You will find it by clicking this link.

Birthday Bear Pop-Up flower card
Are we ready for the holidays? I am not ready yet. I still have a bit of shopping to do and all the wrapping. I'm hoping to get that done this week. I have moved on from Christmas projects though, and today, I'm using a Valentine set as a birthday card. I wanted to show how the Valentine Kisses bundle can be used for things other than Valentine's Day. Get you to think outside the box. If you missed the post for Wednesday, you'll want to check that out and see how I made a treat box with this set. I have a video tutorial for you on how to make this card step-by-step over on my YouTube channel. You will find the video by clicking this link. I hope you will give it a try. They are so fun to make and Stampin' Up! has made it so easy with the new die set!

Gingerbread man cookie 3"x4" reinforced clamshell box
I have another treat box for you today using the Gingerbread Man bundle by Stampin' Up! As soon as I saw this set, I knew I wanted to create a box using the Little Debbie Christmas gingerbread cookies. I thought I might have already designed a box to fit, but that was not the case. So, I set out to design a box that would fit the large size of the gingerbread man, accommodate the cookie, and also fit a gift card. This box is the result of that endeavor. You will find a video tutorial where I walk you through how to make it step-by-step over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Standing gingerbread man treat box
I'm so excited about the project I have for you today. I just knew I needed to make a box using the large gingerbread man and had to figure out how to make one so that the box part only showed on the sides yet stood upright. This is the design I came up with. It turned out so cute! I gave some out to my retired friends at a luncheon and they absolutely loved them! I might need to make a few more as they make such cute decorations beside holding a little treat! I hope you will give them a try. To watch the video tutorial on how to put it all together, click this link, it will take you directly to my YouTube video.

Snowy Woodland Scenery Winter Wishes
I’ve really loved working with the Woodland Scenery stamp set this week. It makes such beautiful cards without a lot of effort, especially when paired with the Lights of Aurora Designer Series Paper which is stunning on its own. With the northern lights popping in this week in the continental part of the US, it’s especially fitting. You can see how I’ve created this card and learn how to make one by watching the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel. You can access it by clicking on this link.

Woodland Scenery ornament gift storage box 2025
For today, I've created a gift storage box to hold the ornament I posted on Wednesday this week. You will want to check that out if you haven't already seen it. I've designed this clamshell box with reinforced sides on the top and bottom so that it won't crush as easily for you to be able to store the ornament, as well as use as gift packaging. The box is sized to fit a gift card as well. You can watch the video tutorial for both projects over on my YouTube channel by clicking on this link.
