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

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.

Sweet Jar love you more than
For my card today, I was thinking of a conversation I had with my dad last Sunday. He was telling me how much he loved having cookies with his coffee in the morning. I thought this card would make a good Father's Day card for him along with a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies. To see how I've put it together, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.

Sending Love Vertical Bandstand Fun Fold card
Hey all, I've got another vertical floating bandstand card for you today. I absolutely love this fun fold. I think it's easy and makes such a huge impact. I made this particular card so I could send it out to my Aunt in Minnesota as I didn't get to mailing out my Christmas cards. I wanted her to know I hadn't forgotten about her but didn't really want an all out Valentine card. This is the result. I hope you like it. To see how I've put this card together, you can watch the video over on my YouTube channel.

To The Point Label topped box in a bag
I saw an idea making a large box in a bag that used a 9” piece of Designer Series Paper which gave me the idea to alter the dimensions in order to make better use of a 12 x 12 sheet. I usually make multiples so using a piece of Designer Series Paper that size wasn’t to my liking. First, I altered it to make a bag that had a 1 1/4” square bottom and I really liked the size. Then, I thought it might be less wasteful to make it a bit bigger and still get six from a 12 x 12 sheet but with no waste. I went back to the math and came out with my larger bag measurements. To see how I put both bags together, be sure to watch the video replay on my YouTube channel.

Delicate heart shaped chocolates treat box
I thought it would be a good time to make a small box to fit the Ghirardelli heart shaped chocolates which are currently available at my local Costco. Of course, you can find them in most grocery/department stores now as well. As Stampin’ Up!®️ is offering the Heart Shaped bundle for free during Sale a-bration, it seemed like a great time to design a box to fit both products. This is the result and I hope you will find it useful. Watch the video replay on my YouTube. channel and I’ll show you just how easy it is to put together.

You'll Always Bee the Friend For Me
My card today is again top heavy on product. I know, it is possible to use just one stamp set, but where's the fun in that? One of my favorite things to do is to grab some sets and explore the possibilities that haven't been created yet, to see where my creative juices take me. To see how I've put this card together, be sure to watch the replay over on my YouTube channel.

Hearts & Hugs Anniversary card
My featured this bundle is the Hearts & Hugs bundle by Stampin' Up! I'm so happy you stopped by! I thought the walrus image from this bundle would be perfect for an anniversary card. This is a quick and easy card to put together as the Designer Series Paper does a lot of the work for you. A little stamping, coloring and die cutting, and everything is ready to go! Of course, for an even faster card, you don't have to color the walrus couple.

Fluffiest Friends Sending Love birthday mail box card
Here we are with another month gone by and what a beautifully sunny April day we had here in Oregon over the Easter weekend. I was inspired to make my card using the Sending Love stamp/die bundle which is this week's featured bundle. As I did last week, I will also be using some items that will be retiring by the end of the month. If you want these items, I would order them sooner, rather than later as all retiring items are while supplies last. Sending Love is not retiring; however, it will no longer be offered at the bundle price when the new Stampin' Up! catalog launches on May 1. To see how I've put this very pretty birthday card together, be sure to watch the video replay over on YouTube.

Latte Love Encircled in Nature wreath card
Today's project is a pairing of my favorite new bundles being released to customers on March 5. I love how this mugs in Latte Love are sized just right to fit this wreath die cut in the Encircled in Nature bundle. The Designer Series Paper is also in the A Little Latte suite of products, YES, you heard it correctly! There is an entire suite of products for the mugs! Way to go Stampin' Up! I'm a sucker for anything coffee, cocoa, tea related and/or wreaths. So, I had to have both of these! While Encircled in Nature is not included in a suite of products, it's still fantastic and as you can see, can easily be paired with other products for a unique look. If you would like to watch the video replay, you can rewatch on Facebook here as I'm unable to download my video and upload to YouTube. So sorry for the inconvenience! FB video replay here:
