I've made another card mashing up bundles from the Online Exclusives. For this card I wanted to show that Fright Night is not just for Halloween. It can make some beautiful cards that have nothing to do with Halloween at all. I hope you like it and are inspired to give it a try. To watch the video tutorial on how to put this card together, be sure to head on over to my YouTube channel.
A place to share my love for paper crafting as an independent Stampin' Up!®️ Demonstrator.

1/2 sheet fold flat box using July 2025 Online Exclusives
Hello again. I'm so glad you are here. For today's project, I'm continuing my fold-flat box series, this time, I've redesigned the box to fit on a 1/2 sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock. I love maximizing my paper, so I usually try to make boxes sized to make two from a single sheet of cardstock. I've used some of the newly released July Online Exclusives for my box today. I also showed a Halloween version in my video tutorial. Be sure to watch the replay over on my YouTube channel.

Just a Note mash up
Hello again! I'm so glad you're here. I am mashing up my product bundles again today. For this card I've combined a suite collection from the 2025-2027 Annual catalog, along with one of our newest Online Exclusives releases. The color combination comes from the Designer Series Paper, Floral Charms and is one I wouldn't have put together on my own. I do rather like it, don't you?

A Charming Day Sunshine Vibes Hello
Hello and welcome back to my blog. Today's project is a #CreativeChallengeSU card. The challenge is to mash together products and/or suites that were not meant to go together and make something with them. I decided to mash up Sunshine Vibes from the 2025-2027 Annual Catalog with Charming Day from the July 2025 Online Exclusives release. I love how this card came together. It also fits the challenge for the Global Design Project weekly challenge. #GDP 505 challenge is a color challenge using Pretty Peacock, Old Olive and Strawberry Slush. You can watch my video tutorial over on my YouTube channel to see how to make this one. I hope you will give it a try.

Jar of Joy Fold Flat Box
For my share today, I have a fold flat box that you can make now and save for later to fill as it takes up very little storage space. I've combine a couple of stamp sets that weren't necessarily intended to be used together along with some die sets. This goes along with the #CreativeChallengeSU for the month of July. Let's get started by watching the video tutorial over on my YouTube

Celebrate card with a mash up of bundles by Stampin' Up!
Hello and welcome back to my blog. Today's project is a mash up of some new products by Stampin' Up! I've taken the Cheers & Sips bundle and added in the Beautiful Motifs bundle to make this card. Unique and quite striking don't you agree? I used the drink with the umbrella because it reminded me of a time when my elderly neighbor and friend (more like my adoped grandpa) would make Shirley Temples for my girls and myself on a hot summer day. He's been gone quite some time now and I miss him every day. It brings back such wonderful memories and a smile for my heart. To watch the video tutorial, head on over to my YouTube channel. I'll teach you how to make it.

Cheers to a double flap fold over gift card pocket
Happy Saturday everyone and welcome to my blog. This card was created to be a complement to the treat box I shared on Wednesday. The box opening is similar to this card. Now, I didn't create this fold, I just came up with my own measurements and recreated the inside portion as I've seen multiple do in the past. I used my own measurements so they may not be the same as others. You can find the video tutorial for this card over on my YouTube channel.

3x2x1” double fold over flap box with Cheers & Sips
Hello all! My treat box for you today is a continuation of the box we made last week. I've resized it again to fit the specific treat I had in mind for it. The original inspiration for the boxes came from Stampin' Up! during a virtual event. You can find my video tutorial for this particular box over on my YouTube channel.

Double flap top fold-over gift card box
Today’s project was inspired by Stampin’ Up!®️ staff who presented a similar box during a recent demonstrator event I attended. I resized their box so that it would fit a gift card and you could still get two from a sheet to 8 1/2” x 11” cardstock. I hope you find the box useful. You could decorate with anything you have on hand for any occasion. It’s pretty quick and very easy to make. I’m using my featured bundle this week, Poppin’ By, to decorate mine. You can watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

No one's Butter Than You fancy border card
For my card today, I've gone a little crazy making a gift card pocket card for movie theater tickets or gift card. I love how the Around It All dies complement the popcorn bucket character. But you better hurry if you don't already own those dies as they are currently in the last chance section of my online store, heavily discounted and while supplies last. I think they are a staple for every card maker/gift giver. If you would like to see how I put this card together, head on over to my YouTube channel and watch the video tutorial.

Poppin' in to say hello book fold wreath
This week I'm featuring one of the Online Exclusives bundles I just had to have as soon as I saw it. My daughter asked me to make a gift card box for my grandson last Christmas as she was giving him a movie theater gift card. I didn't have any stamps, so I had to seriously improvise. This year, I won't have to do that with this set! It's so cute and fun. I was inspired during a Stampin' Up! demonstrator event with a wreath card I saw. While I'm not using the set they showed, I was inspired to make a wreath with the popcorn pieces. I do love how it turned out. I don't think I would have thought to make the wreath if I hadn't seen that presentation. If you would like to see how I put this card together, you can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.

It's Your Day Coneflower mash -up card
Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. I have a fun project for you today mashing together two bundles to make this card. I hope you like it! To see the video tutorial, unfortunately, there are two parts as the internet provider has been having a few issues today keeping the internet up. I'm so sorry about that. You will find the Part 1 of the video on my YouTube channel here, and Part 2 can be found here. I don't know how to edit videos and anyway, it's real live filming so what can we do about that? I choose to just go with the flow.....

Coneflower magnetic bookmark
I have a very fun and easy project for you today. You can make it with layers the way I did, or simply it just by using the die cuts. Your choice but be sure to have some fun with them and share with all your friends and family! You can watch the video replay of how I've put mine together over on my YouTube channel.
