I decided to make a simpler card today using the Collecting Seashells stamp we used earlier this week. This card is quick and easily replicated. Simply change the sentiment for another occasion if that's what you need. 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.

Hello Back Bend Fun Fold card with Sweet Bugs
Today I have another fun fold card for you. This one is called the back bend card. I saw it and had to give it a try. I altered the measurements though because I didn't think the right-side measurement was large enough. I wanted a little more room to adhere my focal point. I also think it's a little more ascetically pleasing to my eye. You can watch the video tutorial on how to make a card like this one over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Hobby Haven DSP birthday card
Hello everyone! I hope you are spending time with family and friends this holiday season. I finished up my shopping (I think!) yesterday and will be taking some time off to enjoy time with family and friends. I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Holidays, Happy Hannukah or whatever it is you are celebrating this time of year. From our home to yours, good health and good wishes.
For my project today I was inspired by Jacque Williams, a demonstrator in Australia. I'm using product from the November Online Exclusives, annual catalog and we even have a sneak peek item from the upcoming Jan-April 2026 mini catalog by Stampin' Up! I hope you enjoy this project. It's pretty quick to put together once you fussy cut the images. There is a video tutorial available over on my YouTube channel. You will find it by clicking this link.

Lucky Clover St Patrick’s Day card
This week I am featuring the Lucky Clover stamp set. Today’s project is a very simple card put together with scrap strips of paper. I did use the Lucky Clover punch to punch out the large clovers, but you can just as easily fussy cut them as the punch is already sold out. I apologize for the lack of inventory. I have two other projects for you this week and neither of those use the punch. This is a great little stamp set and pretty inexpensive.

Christmas Season cross stamping Christmas cracker
Today's project is the second project of my 12 Projects of Christmas 2022, and shows another way to use the cross stamping technique I demonstrated during my live tutorial on Tuesday which you can watch over on my YouTube channel HERE:
I wanted to show the technique is not just for cards and can be done on any size paper. I hope you are inspired to try it and to make some treat boxes for loved ones during the holidays. I think everyone should have the Cracker and Treat box dies. They can be used for any occasion, and you get so many extra labels you can use on anything and everything!

Ice Cream Best Remedy kit card
I made this card design as it was intended in the Best Remedy card kit, other than cutting the original card base in half and adding one piece to a Thick Basic White card base. I also stamped in the inside of the card. Other than that, it's as Stampin' Up! artists designed it. You can see how to put this card together over on YouTube by clicking here:

Wonderful World greeting cards
The cards for today were made to go in the card gift box I showed on my blog on Thursday. If you missed those measurements, be sure to go back and look. You will also find a video over on my YouTube channel on how to put the cards and box together HERE: All cards use the same dimensions, same stamp set and Designer Series Paper, and coordinate perfectly with the card gift box from Thursday. I've made two of each card to put in the gift box. I've used various sentiments from Inspired Thoughts by Stampin' Up! It's one of my go to stamp sets for sentiments as it has a variety for any occasion and also has sentiments for the inside of your card as well. As you can tell, I made all the cards using the same materials and layout, just changing up the colors and DSP from the packet.

Flowers of Friendship 1 piece of DSP makes 2 cards
Today’s Project really is two cards made from one piece of 3” x 4” Designer Series Paper. I hope you like the projects. I participated in a mystery stamping game with Marisa Alvarez of Kitchen Table Stamper last week. This layout is the one she used. I have used different stamps and things to create this card, simply using the clues I was given at the time. You can watch the replay of my projects on my YouTube channel here.
To start, you'll need a 3 x 4" piece of patterned paper, preferably non-directional. With the 4" side across the top, mark on the left side using a ruler and pencil 1 1/4" down the left side. Then down the right side, mark at 2 1/4". Place on your trimmer with one mark in the cutting track at the top, and the other mark in the cutting track at the bottom. Then cut from mark to mark. This will give you two pieces of DSP to use on your cards. I placed my pieces at the top of each card; however, you could place them both at the bottom of your two cards or one at the top and the other at the bottom. It's really whatever you prefer. Then you can decorate however you would like. This is how I chose to decorate mine. I hope you like them.

A little note Enjoy the Moment and Painted Poppies
The card I have for you today is another one of the cards made during my live tutorial on Tuesday. It also features the stamp set Enjoy the Moment. This time, I've paired it with Painted Poppies for a completely different look and feel. This card actually started out as a challenge card from Kitchen Table Stamper and her Connect Four game. This particular card was changed up a bit during my live with input from the live audience. It does use some retiring product on the Last Chance list, available while supplies last. Be sure to jump on over to my online store by clicking on the shopping cart in the upper right corner and check out the Last Chance list along with all the good bargains available there. But remember to do it quickly as once these items sell out, they're gone and won't be returning. Painted Poppies is carrying over to the new annual catalog, so no worries there.
