Today I have a sympathy card for you. I've tried to combine some last chance items with Product of the Month and current products. If you know me at all, I love to mash up stamps and dies that weren't necessarily expected to go together. You get such unique cards when you do that. I wanted to convey a sense of peace with this 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.

Happiest birthday wishes dsp strip card
I've used a sketch I saw from Julie Salva for my card today. I didn't do mine exactly like the sketch because crafty girls do what they want and a sketch is only an inspirational starting point. I hope you like how this turned out. I was quite pleased with the result, and I think anyone would be happy to receive a birthday card like this.

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.

Quick and easy Easter card with Seasonal Celebrations
Today I have a quick and easy Easter bunny card. I've used a sketch I saw on Facebook (not sure who posted it) but I decided to use the sketch for this card. It would be very easy to mass product if you send out Easter cards (or change up the stamps & paper for any occasion). You can see how easy it is to put together by watching the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel. Click this link to watch.

Poppin' by spring card
I have a fun card for you today using current products and mashing with some last chance products. I hope you enjoy it. I had a lot of fun putting it together and I'm sure the recipient will love it as well. I wanted to use the dies in the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar to make something with the bunny from Easter Basket. Initially, I had another design in my head, however, by the time it made it to paper, this card was the result. Far less busy than my original idea and oh so cute!

Quilted cross Easter card
Hello all! Great news! Stampin' Up! announced free shipping for the next three days with a $75** qualifying order! Free shipping will run February 18-20, 2026, and ends at 11:59 pm MT or 10:59 p.m. PT. Head on over to my online store for all the details.
Today I have a card that was inspired by May May Made it. I saw how she made these little quilted circles and placed them into a cross using a patterned paper. It inspired me to try out her method. I had to change the circle sizes and Stampin' Up! does not currently have the size circle punch she used. I altered the measurements to fit the 1 3/4" punch, grabbed some wood paper, and put this card together using Stampin' Up! products. I hope you give this a try. I do love how it looks. To watch the video tutorial where I show you how to create it, head on over to my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Easter Greetings lift top milk carton box
It’s time for another treat box project. With Easter coming up in an about a month, now is the time to get started on those Easter treat projects.

Storybook Friends Pop Out Flip Flap Fun Fold card
Oh my do I have a unique fun fold for you today. It really has a WOW factor but is pretty easy to make. I was inspired by Susan Campfield while watching her video making a similar card. Don't let the amount of pieces scare you, let's make it together. You can find the video replay over on my YouTube channel. I had a lot of fun making this card. It has a lot of coloring, but if you check out my Facebook page tomorrow, you will find another version that uses the Designer Series Paper cut outs for the images and saves all the coloring. Of course, you can make this card with any stamp set in your collection.

Easter Greetings Arch-Shaped card
I'm doing things a bit differently today. Normally, this would post on Saturday, but because the tree stamp set is a free stamp set only through today, I'm posting this on Friday, February 28, 2025.
