The card I have for you today continues using those Sale a-bration free items Stampin' Up! offered through February 28. I showed this card during a live tutorial on Thursday before SAB ended. However, if you don't have that particular stamp set, you can use any small Happy Birthday, confetti or other sentiment you have in your stash and still make a card very similar. The technique of making your own designer series paper is the main focus here. The remaining images from this card are all still available in current stamp sets available in my online store. You can watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel where I show you how to make your own paper and how to make your own banner piece to fit the die cut banner from Birthday Celebration dies.
A place to share my love for paper crafting as an independent Stampin' Up!®️ Demonstrator.

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.

Today’s card features more Last Chance products I think you will love. Be sure to get these before they sell out. When I first created this card I made it as a get well card. As this is the third card I made, I decided to turn it into an anniversary card. Both sentiments are in the same stamp set. To see how I put my card together, watch the video over on my YouTube channel.

Let's Decorate the Season with Christmas Friends
When I first saw the Christmas Friends bundle, I had to have it for the Moose on ice skates. The rest of the images are extra cute as well and it has dies! What more could a girl ask for?

You Make Life Better with Thoughtful Wishes Fun Fold
Today I'm sharing this quick and easy card made using the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set. I cased this card from Stampin' Up! Of course, I changed some of the measurements and turned it into a fun fold card to make it my own. It started as a 3 1/2" x 5" notecard size, but that didn't work for me, so I modified it and made it a standard A2 size card with a fun fold to it. I love being inspired by a card and then modifying it to make it mine! I hope you enjoy this card and are inspired to make one of your own. To see how I put it together, you can watch the video replay over on YouTube.

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:

You will find the suite of products on pages 90-91. You can watch how I put this card and one additional card, which will be posted on my blog on Saturday, here.
