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.
A place to share my love for paper crafting as an independent Stampin' Up!®️ Demonstrator.

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.....

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.

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.
