My project today coordinates with the project will see here on my blog on Saturday. I've made a magnetic bookmark for today's project and I've primarily used the Made with Sweetness bundle by Stampin' Up! I did throw in some additional products as well. I hope you like this quick and easy little bookmark. It makes a great gift to throw in a coordinating card. You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.
A place to share my love for paper crafting as an independent Stampin' Up!®️ Demonstrator.

Wishing you good things with Notes of Spring card
For my featured product this week I will be working with the Notes of Spring stamp set. This is an exclusive stamp set for the Stampin' Up! Product of the Month (POM) for March 2026. It is available only while supplies last and is only available with a $75 purchase (USD) for $5. Such a great set for a small amount of money. I have found it to be quite versatile and easy to work with. Cards can be made very quickly and still look like you spent a bit of time on them. The two-step stamping allows you to color in the images using stamps, thereby taking less time. Of course, you always have the option to color them. I will have a card for you later this week where I did just that. To watch the video tutorial on how I put this card together and so you can recreate it, head on over to my YouTube channel. You will find the video 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.

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.

Hello all! We have a quick and easy treat box that is easily mass produced for Halloween (or any occasion). I hope you like this box.

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.

They actually go together quite quickly, and I've given you some tips and tricks to save a bit of time making them.

It's a good day to celebrate birthday card
The card I have for you today continues using those Sale a-bration free items Stampin' Up! offered through February 28. I showed this card during a live tutorial on Thursday before SAB ended. However, if you don't have that particular stamp set, you can use any small Happy Birthday, confetti or other sentiment you have in your stash and still make a card very similar. The technique of making your own designer series paper is the main focus here. The remaining images from this card are all still available in current stamp sets available in my online store. You can watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel where I show you how to make your own paper and how to make your own banner piece to fit the die cut banner from Birthday Celebration dies.

Triangle Treat box using Hearts & Hugs
For my final project this week using the Hearts & Hugs bundle by Stampin' Up!, I created this triangle treat box. I cased the box template from Marisa Alvarez. I loved how easy and unique this box is. You can get three boxes from one 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock. Not only is it quick and easy, it's very affordable to make multiples. I put 6 Dark Chocolate kisses in mine, but there are a lot of other small candies (or jewelry) you could put in them. To see how I put my treat box together, you can watch the replay over on YouTube here.
