This was a Club project from last week. It’s a fun and super easy side fold card that is a perfect design for using patterned papers. I am sure you can imagine the versatility of this design by simply changing out the papers and colors. The plaid paper works really nicely because you can see the extension of the pattern…
Need help figuring out how to cut and figure out sizes for layers of a card? I made this video back in 2019, but it has become my most watched video with over 1.2K views – WOW! Hopefully this system will be as helpful to you as it has been to all the others who have watched it. Disclaimer –…
Some punches, such as the new Strawberry Builder Punch, have a lot of shapes it creates. This is very helpful when you want all those shapes, but can also make it a little complicated when you want to punch a certain shape or reduct paper waste. This punch hack can be very helpful for this particular Strawberry punch, but also…

Have you seen the swirly circle cards all over the internet? My team member Michelle tried to teach me how to make one and I got all confused. No fault of hers, I just couldn’t understand the written directions. I am more of a visual learner, so after she patiently taught me how to make it, I changed up the…
I’m trying to be conservative with my Berry Delightful paper since it won’t be available after February*. I love it so much and will miss it! When I first started stamping many years ago, I used to make a lot of one-sided notecards. One because they were quick & easy to make many and two because you didn’t have to…
I had a question the other day about what you can include in the Starter Kit. I thought that some of you may have the same question, so I thought I would share the answer with all of you. Did you know that you can add the new Butterfly Bouquet Bundle to your Starter Kit? Keep reading. The short answer is, everything that…
Two weeks ago (can you believe it was two weeks – sometimes it feels like yesterday and sometimes it feels like two months), the Inauguration happened. I’m not going to get into politics here, but amid the speeches, the songs, prayers and poems, there was fashion. I’m not talking pant suits, hats, masks or ties, I’m talking real American fashion.…
A past favorite Hey Chick is now joining Hey Birthday Chick – it’s Chick-tacular! Hey Chick was an overwhelming favorite in 2017 when it was offered for free during Sale-a-bration. Stampin’ Up! is bringing it back again, beginning today and is pairing it with coordinating dies so you can cut those chicks out with ease. Not only that, but new…
I wasn’t able to host an Open House this year due to everyone staying home, but I am still offering a January Special. This offer ends on January 31st and won’t return until next year. I like to offer a special during January to go along with Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-a-bration incentive. As a reminder, for every $50 you spend during…
Sometimes we need to make quick & easy cards. But who wants to make boring quick & easy cards??? These Quick & Easy Ice Cream Cards are far from boring because of the Rainbow Glitter Paper. They are full of flavor!!! Just a little goes a long way (they say that about some flavors too). Two sheets of the Rainbow…
Last month we saw the unexpected retirement of Whisper White card stock & envelopes (the factory suddenly and permanently closed their doors due to COVID impacts). Stampin’ Up! worked tirelessly with other paper mills to come up with an equal replacement. The replacement is called Basic White and is now available and for the same price. Basic White is acid…
So many people join for the discount but then discover there is a whole world of sharing, caring, encouraging and not to mention endless ideas of creativity. Being a part of the larger group of Stampin’ Up! and the smaller group of my team creates a wonderful connection of togetherness, friendship and growth (creative & potential to do more). Join…

This group is a place for: who love to be creative no matter their crafting level or ability to share their work to interact, encourage & support one another with conversation and posting…

I will be turning 50 next week (yikes) and want to celebrate with as many of you as possible. So, I’m combining my annual Sale-a-bration Open House with a birthday celebration, highlighting some of the birthday stamp sets in the catalogs. Since we can’t gather in person this year, I am hosting it on Facebook. Which means more of you can attend!…
Desktop calendars are fun to make at the end of the year as they make perfect little gifts. There are many versions out there. I created this calendar to also hold a post it note pad and decorated pen. This holder highlights the new Well Suited Designer Series Paper that will be available in January. Keep reading until the end…
With the release of each new catalog, I host a Paper Share. Each Share has one piece of patterned paper from the catalog. It’s a great way to get a sampling of each pattern for a quarter of the price. I cut the papers into 6” x 12” pieces (unless it already comes 6” x 6”) for better usability. Each…
You are just going to love this project and class!!! In this online class, I will show you with videos how to create and customize your own Stationery Box Gift Set. Anyone who receives this custom Stationery Box with coordinating cards, tags, pen and pocket for postage stamps will be amazed you made it. You will definitely want to…
I was looking over my YouTube videos and realized I never published the Starburst Technique I did over the summer to my blog – oops! This is a fun technique that uses a variety of pattern, textured and plain papers. You choose! Watch the video to see how to create this fun background for your cards.
