I have another Fluffy Squirrel project for you today. This time, I've made it into a fold-flat treat box and added a little Halloween fun to it. I hope it inspires you to make some treat boxes and spread a little joy. I'm actually making several of these to give out to my daughter's co-workers for the fall season. You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel to see just how to put the box together. They actually go together quite quickly, and I've given you some tips and tricks to save a bit of time making them.
A place to share my love for paper crafting as an independent Stampin' Up!®️ Demonstrator.

Autumn Tree Grateful for you
For today's card, I wanted to try out the new Autumn Trees bundle. I love the large tree in the set. With the Autumn Equinox just having arrived, I wanted to make a tree that reflected the changing leaves. This is the card I came up with. The dies in this bundle are so amazingly detailed and you can do so much with this bundle for any season. It will also be a fantastic addition to your collection for making masculine cards. You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel and see the dies in action.

Go Nuts! It's Your Birthday with Fluffy Squirrel
Hello everyone! I hope the weather is nice where you are. The weather here in NW Oregon has been absolutely perfect for my liking. It's been the perfect fall weather, and the squirrels have been very busy gathering their nuts for the winter. I love the new stamp set Fluffy Squirrel and I just had to make a card using one of my favorite card sketches. The combined result is my card tutorial for today. You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.

Fright Night clamshell treat box
I have another Halloween treat box for you today. Of course, I've used several products to make this one unique. Of course, you can use this box without the labels on top and it would still work just as well. I do like the shape with the labels though. It's something a little different than a plain rectangular box. Be sure to check out the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel to see just how to put it together.

Sunflower Love & Courage Making a Difference card tutorial
For my project today, I wanted to make a card using the Love & Courage stamp set and pair it with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder. I used an ink blending technique to ink my focal background. The sentiment uses a colored ink embossing powder technique. I hope you are inspired to make some cards of encouragement for those in your life that are fighting the battle, not just breast cancer, with any cancer. Change up the colors to suit your needs. This is an important fight and most of know someone who is currently struggling with it or has fought the fight already. $3 of every stamp set purchased in my Stampin' Up! online store goes to a Breast Cancer organization.
To see how I've put this card together and learn the techniques I've used, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel. You can make several of these in whatever color you choose and donate to a cancer center. They'll get into the hands of those who could use some encouragement and you get the joy of stamping and giving.

Lights of Aurora Scenic Adventure card
Oh my gosh! How I do love the new 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper stack, Lights of Aurora. It was introduced on September 3 along with a suite of products. I decided to purchase only the gems and DSP from the suite and combine it with the Scenic Adventure bundle as I thought I would get more use from both pieces of the bundle. I love how this card turned out and just how easy it was. A few die cuts, the dsp, a stamped sentiment and what a beautiful card you have. It would work for either feminine or masculine and most any occasion. To see how I've put my card together, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.

Fluffy Squirrel Column Fun Fold
For today, I decided to give a column card a try. I don't think I've made one in the past, but of course, I could be wrong. In any case, I loved how this came together so easily and stands for display yet fits in a standard size envelope. To see how I've put this card together, be sure to watch the tutorial over on my YouTube channel.

Sunflower Love & Courage friend card
My card today is very near and dear to my heart. I've used the Making a Difference stamp set for 2025, Love & Courage, to make this card for my friend. Although, mine is specifically pink, this set can be used for any type of cancer and made into any of the colors that represent the different cancers. I think it's a must have in your collection. Who doesn't know someone who is or has fought the battle? Sometimes a little encouragement is all it takes to make someone's day when they aren't feeling great. You can watch the video tutorial on how I've put my card together over on my YouTube channel.
