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

Noel Clamshell treat box using the Festive Friends tag
Hello everyone! I'm so glad you've joined me today for this very cute clamshell treat box featuring Festive Friends by Stampin' Up! Treat boxes and bags are my favorite projects to create, so as soon as I saw this bundle had a tag large enough to make a box, I knew it had to be done. It doesn't take a lot of supplies, as I ink blended the background to set the scene for my little elf. To see how I've put this box together, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

A Stampin' Up! sketch card with the 2025 Crafting Advent Calendar stamps
I recently received the new 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar for 2025 by Stampin' Up! I wanted to see what it was all about. My friend Tracy suggested I open one window each day and try to make a card with the contents. Today is Day 1 and I started with just the stamps. The stamps are all occasion stamps, even though the box itself is decorated for Christmas. I thought I would make a card for a December birthday, using just the stamps and some additional cardstock/DSP. Stampin' Up! sent out some sketches to those of us who participated in World Card Making Day last Saturday. I decided to incorporate one of those sketches into my project for today.
You will find the video tutorial for this card over on my YouTube channel.

Forever Loved, Forever Remembered with Gallery Blooms
Today I'm using the Gallery Blooms bundle and pairing it with a sentiment stamp set from the 2025-2026 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. My grandson just lost his paternal great-grandmother, and I thought it would be nice to make this card for him and his family members. Remembrance cards/Sympathy cards are the hardest to make in the moment of loss. I like to keep some on hand in case I need them. To see how I've put my card together, you can watch the video replay over on YouTube.

Thankful Garden small floral top opening tuck tab box
Hi everyone and welcome back to the blog. I have another small gift box for you that uses one sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock. It makes a good size box at 2 1/2" x 2 3/4" x 2 1/2". You will find some tips and tricks on how to use the decorative masks and make multiples of the small flower quickly and efficiently without removing your masks three times for each flower. I hope you find this useful. If you make a box of your own using this template, I would love it if you would share over on our Facebook Stampers Group Social page. If you would like to see the tutorial on how I put this box together, and the tips and tricks I shared, be sure to watch the video over on my YouTube channel.

Sneak Peek of Heart Shaped Just Because I Care fold over treat box
Hello everyone. I hope you like the sneak peek of one of this year's Sale a-bration offerings by Stampin' Up! This is a level 2 set which includes a photopolymer stamp set and coordinating dies. I found some Italian milk chocolate hearts at my local Home Goods store and knew I would need to make a treat box to share them in. I designed two boxes, one with reinforced sides and front and the other with just a reinforced front so I could get two boxes from one sheet of cardstock if I were to make a bunch of them. I like to design boxes which allow me to get multiples from one sheet of cardstock. If you would like to see how I've put this box together, be sure to watch the replay over on my YouTube channel.
