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

We wish you a merry Christmas Festive Friends wreath card
When I started designing this card, I was looking to go a whole different direction. But then, as I opened up the Delicate Pines stamp case, I spied the curved bough stamp and this card came to mind. I'm so glad I changed direction, because it turned out so cute in the end. Do you ever do that? Start out in one card in your mind and go a completely different direction?

Party Banner Love & Courage open top box
Hello and welcome back to my blog. Today I'm sharing a treat box I made with the Party Banner dies. I had seen Ronda Wade make a box using the banner dies so I decided to create one for myself. Because it's the beginning of October and Breast Cancer Awareness month, I thought it only fitting to create a box using the Love & Courage stamp set. This set is the Making a Difference fundraiser for Stampin' Up! $3 of each stamp set purchased is donated to a breast cancer organization in each of their markets around the world. I've used multiple techniques in the creation of the box so be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.

Sunflower Love & Courage friend card
My card today is very near and dear to my heart. I've used the Making a Difference stamp set for 2025, Love & Courage, to make this card for my friend. Although, mine is specifically pink, this set can be used for any type of cancer and made into any of the colors that represent the different cancers. I think it's a must have in your collection. Who doesn't know someone who is or has fought the battle? Sometimes a little encouragement is all it takes to make someone's day when they aren't feeling great. You can watch the video tutorial on how I've put my card together over on my YouTube channel.

Sending good vibes two-tone floral card
For my card today, I've focused on using the new two-tone cardstock that Stampin' Up! has recently released in all our colors. I thought I'd give it a try and show my customers how it looks and what you can do with it. I do love the options for two colors of cardstock from the same sheet of paper. On my card today, I've used the Petunia Pop & Old Olive two-tone. Because the two-tone cardstock has a white core (as compared to our dyed-through 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock) you can do some fun techniques with it. Be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

Seasons Greetings Snow Globe card
For my card today, I've again used the Snowy Scenes suite of products. I hope you have liked all the projects I've shown this week and are inspired to create with your bundle. I loved this suite of products right from the start. It's so whimsical and can be used for many occasions with the variety of wintery images. If you would like to see how I've put my card together, please watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

Chocolate Biscuit appreciation treat box decorated with Wild Ferns
I purchased some chocolate covered biscuits a while back and thought it would be fun to make some treat boxes for them. Today's project is the result of that endeavor. I hope you like it. I've used some products that are staying and some that will be retiring at the end of this month (April 2024). The individual pieces of the Wild Ferns bundle will be carrying over; however, you will no longer be able to get the discounted bundle pricing.
