I have a sneak peek product for you today along with a new stamp set from the Jan-April 2026 mini catalog you may have overlooked. These two stamps go so well together! I love them both. I hope you will love how this card turned out as much as I do. To watch the video tutorial on how to make a card like this and for tips on the sneak peek dies, head on over to my YouTube channel and watch the replay by clicking on this link.

You're gold pop-out diamond fun fold card
I've made another pop-out diamond fun fold card for you today. I love this fold, it looks like it should be so hard but comes together so easily! It adds an additional wow factor to your handmade card. I wanted to showcase the Good Luck stamp set as Stampin' Up! rarely gives us a stamp set for St. Patrick's Day. I suggest you get it as soon as possible before it sales out. Once Valentine's Day is over, it will start to sell quickly. To see how I've put my card together, be sure to pop on over to my YouTube channel for the video tutorial. You can find it easily by clicking this link.

Designer Series Paper Z-fold card base with tri fold
I have another fun fold card for you. I learned this fold this past weekend while attending a virtual retreat by Kevin Theesen and decided to give it a try. I hope you will do the same with some of those DSP pieces you have in your stash. It's a great way to use up a pack of paper so you can get more! To see how I've put this card together, watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Cute as a Bug Pop-out Panel card
I found another neat fun fold today. I saw a card made by Jacque Williams and was inspired to give this fold a go using the Cute as a Bug designer series paper by Stampin' Up! This card goes together rather quickly, especially if you use DSP as your background pieces rather than coloring the vines. To see how I put this card together, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Hello Back Bend Fun Fold card with Sweet Bugs
Today I have another fun fold card for you. This one is called the back bend card. I saw it and had to give it a try. I altered the measurements though because I didn't think the right-side measurement was large enough. I wanted a little more room to adhere my focal point. I also think it's a little more ascetically pleasing to my eye. You can watch the video tutorial on how to make a card like this one over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Pop Out Diamond Fun Fold with Sweet Bugs
I saw this really cool fun fold Susan Campfield had made and I was inspired to make one of my own. I love this fold. It looks really difficult but is extremely easy to make. I made several cards using different focal images so be sure to check out my Facebook page for photos of those. Please follow along while I make it in the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.

Sending You Love Case-ing Tuesday sketch card
I've switched gears for my stamp set today as the Woolly Friends stamps set is out of stock. It will be back in the next week or two; however, I wanted to make this Case-ing Tuesday 548 sketch card and decided to use the same stamp set they used in theirs. Of course, I've changed it up to make this awesome card you could use for Valentine's Day or any occasion where you want to send your love. I have a video tutorial over on my YouTube channel with additional samples of how I changed things up in case you don't have one of the stamp sets. You can watch it here by clicking this link.

Hello Case-ing Tuesday 547 sketch challenge
For today's card I've used the Case-ing Tuesday 547 sketch challenge. You can find them over on Facebook. Each week they take a card from a Stampin' Up! catalog, create the working sketch and challenge everyone to make a project using the layout. I though this layout was interesting and so I decided to make a card using it. The card you see here is not where I started. I was trying to use the Swirled Designs bundle along with the Made with Love designer series paper. I was sucessful in part; however, the flower I was trying to use just wasn't working. As I had already made the card you saw on Wednesday, I had the idea to switch out the flower for the woolly friend you see below. It worked way better than my original idea and is much cuter than I anticipated. Of course, I could have just switched at the swirly flower with a different flower, but as I was already working with Woolly Friends, this just made more sense to me. I would love to see if you can take this layout, a flower set you have on hand and recreate with your stamps & dies. You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

You're the sweetest woolly friend
My featured bundle this week is Woolly Friends. Of course, I have to mash it up with some other products to make the cutest little friend card. This card is perfect for Valentine's Day or any day for that matter. I've used the Lovely Doilies and scored it as was shown by Sara Douglas on each of the scallops which gave it a little lift. She used hers to make a medallion but that wasn't the look I was actually going for. You can watch the video tutorial on how I made this card over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Loose Valentine's shaker treat box
Hello and happy Sunday! I have a cute little treat box for you today and I've made it extra special by adding a shaker element. I typically don't like to make traditional shaker cards unless I'm hand delivering them. I always hand deliver treats so a shaker box works perfectly for those. This box doesn't take a lot of supplies to make and once you get the hand of them, they're really pretty quick and easy. I have a video tutorial over on my YouTube page you will want to watch to see how I put it together. You can see it here by clicking this link. You will notice in the photos below I added an additional piece of dsp to the inside of the box top. You could see the glue lines through the vellum, so I covered it. I didn't cut the inside piece at the same time as the top two. Because it's vellum, if you're off a tiny bit, it really doesn't show through.

Happy Birthday bee fun fold
For my project today, I'm bringing in a stamp set that was been around for a bit, hopefully, you have it on hand already. It works for so many things. I decided to make this a very easy fun fold card. Just one extra score and voila, you have this fun fold made easily. You will find a video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

For my card together, I've put together some unexpected combinations for you and hope you find this card as adorable as I do.

Sending Love large banner treat box
Happy Sunday everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying some much-needed relaxation today. I have another treat/gift box you can use for Valentines, wedding or any time you want to send a little love to someone. I've combined two of the latest products by Stampin' Up! in this project. You will find a video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link. I hope you will give it a try and make something special for your friends or family. They're pretty quick and easy to make. Of course, you could make this box for any occasion at all just by changing colors and decorations. If you don't have the banner dies, no worries, you can use two pieces of cardstock 3 3/4" x 5" and it will work just as easily. To make the banner ends, cut down in the center of one end about 1/2", then cut down from each side to the center cut to make your own banner if you would like.
