Sweet Bugs Bundle and Coordinating Cute as a Bug DSP

Hello my crafty friends. Just a quick post on this cute Z-fold card using the Sweet Bugs Stamp Set and the super cute Cute as a Bug DSP. It is such a fun collection of product. I just checked and everything is currently available. Although this card does not feature the Ladybug Picnic 3D embossing folder, it coordinates with this product suite (and it is also currently available).

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  There are so many colors to choose from to coordinate with the Cute as a Bug DSP, so I selected Old Olive cardstock for the base.

I (HEART):  These cute bugs on the main panel of this Z-fold card steal the show! 😊

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I hope this project has inspired your creativity. I would love to see what you have created. Feel free to leave your comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it. 

Also, head out to my Facebook page where I post about current sales and events. And, please do share your cards with us all to ooh and ahh over!

Stamp On!!

New online exclusives and specials are happening all the time now so I highly recommend making it a habit to check online on a weekly basis. Tuesday seems to be the best day to check in.

Filled with Sweetness Bundle

Hello my crafty friends. As we all know, sometimes things just do not go as planned. I certainly wanted to put on a big spread of card designs using Homemade With Sweetness Suite Collection from the March Online Exclusives, but the stars would not align. I decided I wasn’t going to wait and was able to pick up some of the coordinating products, including the Homemade with Sweetness DSP (and the Ladybug Embossing Folder – super cute by the way!). Today’s card is created with cutouts from the DSP. Simple, easy and still cute!

Of course, I still want the Strawberries & Dots Embellishments and I may still pick up the Filled with Sweetness bundle, or I may just move on to the May Online Exclusives. Let me know what you think on whether or not I should focus on the May Online Exclusives.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  I chose Calypso Coral and Misty Moonlight, but additional coordinating colors include Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, Secret Sea and Strawberry Slush.

I (HEART):  Fussy cutting the jars of goodies! 😊

Lovely and Beautiful Specialty DSP by Stampin’ Up!

Hello my crafty friends. As I mentioned previously, this year is full of weddings. I picked up this package of specialty DSP, Lovely and Beautiful, for my wedding cards, however, the gold accents are just gorgeous. This flower was just too beautiful not to feature on a thank you card.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  I thought the Flirty Flamingo really brought out the pink in this piece of the DSP. And the gold foil sheet is just the right touch to bring out the gold accents.

I (HEART):  The must-have sparkly gems. 😊

Wedding Season Started Early This Year

Hello my crafty friends! This year is full of weddings. The first one was last month. Unfortunately, I caught a nasty flu and didn't want to give it to everyone in attendance so I had to skip the wedding event. Of course, that didn't stop the card making! 

Sentiment is from the Simply Beautiful stamp set. I fussy cut a beautiful flower from the Lovely and Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper for the main feature. The side panel is a strip of the DSP with an arrangement of green leaves.

I will share my next wedding card after the event. 

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  Couldn’t resist coordinating the card with the gift wrapping so I used a piece of the wrapping paper from the gift.

I (HEART):  The beautiful flowers from the Specialty Designer Series Paper. This DSP is a must have. 😊

Peaceful Garden - More than Just a Holiday-Themed Designer Series Paper

Just a quick post to remind everyone that there is still "life" left in your holiday pattern papers, and specifically Stampin' Up!'s "Designer Series Paper." Stampin' Up! gives you more bang for your buck with double-sided pattern papers in both 6" x 6" and 12" x 12" sizes. And, what I call the "B" side of those gorgeous papers is usually a beautiful, coordinating design to the theme-inspired design.

My card today shows off the "B" side from one of the sheets in the Peaceful Garden 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (and Sticker Sheet), Item #165917. This pattern paper creates a beautiful background for this birthday card. 

I also wanted to point out that this particular DSP has had a long life (in Stampin' Up! time) as it is part of the Peaceful Garden Suite collection, which was the featured product of the Creativity Now virtual and in-person event for Stampin' Up! demonstrators back in June 2025. I checked today and the DSP is still available for purchase, however, I recommend that you do not delay if you want some of this awesome paper. Oh, and there is also a beautiful packet of glimmer paper that coordinates. Peaceful Garden 12" x 12" Glimmer Paper, Item #165929.

Reminder: Don't miss out on Bonus Days where for every $50 (US) you spend now through February 2, you earn a $5 coupon to redeem February 3-28. No limit!! Plus, every order earns Stampin’ Rewards!

Simple Valentine's Day Card Featuring Banner Sayings

Just getting back in the swing of things from the holidays. Hope everyone had the best holiday ever! Yesterday was our first workshop of 2026. We had plenty to do and plenty catching up - as you can imagine! Of course, we had plenty of valentine cards to make! The card in this picture features the Banner Sayings Bundle (sentiment and punch), the heart dies from the Love Hope and Joy Bundle, the Lovely Stripes 3D Embossing Folder, and the December Product of the Month Designer Series Paper, True Blue. I agree, not a traditional color for a valentine's day card, but cute nonetheless!

Hope you have subscribed to the January Paper Pumpkin. I have seen some unboxing pictures and videos on Facebook this weekend - looks like there will be plenty of options for sending valentine's messages with this kit. And don't forget to order the add-on dies - Beautiful Blooms, item #168666.

HAPPENING NOW - Don't miss out on Bonus Days where for every $50 (US) you spend now through February 2, you earn a $5 coupon to redeem February 3-28. No limit!! Plus, every order earns Stampin’ Rewards! This promotion replaces Sale-A-Bration, which was formerly an annual sale that ran for a couple of months after the holidays to earn free product, usually product created especially for this event and not available for sale in any of the catalog(s). Hope you enjoy this new perk!

I would love to help you on your papercrafting journey, and I would be so happy for you to select me as your demonstrator! Message me if you have any questions on creating an account and placing your order!!

Holiday Cards – That’s a Wrap!!

Well, holiday cards are completed and in the mail. Whew!! Now it is time to sit back and enjoy the holiday gatherings and start making plans for next year. As many of you know, although I kept up with my card classes, I dialed back on social media. Thinking about trying to reincorporate social media beginning in January. Keep your eye on my blog. I will be updating it over the holidays and will try to keep it fresh throughout next year.

Just a quick look at one of my holiday cards – next to a card that we made in class (I think it was October). There is always an opportunity to use up those leftover pieces/parts. The die cuts (tag and “Joy” die cuts) were the 4th quarter (Oct-Dec) Paper Pumpkin add on dies. I think these turned out cute!

Finally, there have been so many changes over the past year at Stampin’ Up!, but one of the most important is your ability to earn your own rewards with every order, instead of “waiting your turn” in stamp clubs. If you haven’t already, open your own account and I would be so happy for you to select me as your demonstrator! Message me if you have any questions on signing up and placing an order!!

Stamp On!!

Sending Love this Valentine’s Day

Hello my crafty friends. Hope you are ready to start thinking about Valentine’s day cards! The Sending Love stamp set is a beautiful carry over stamp set with coordinating dies. The main image is the 3D mailbox featuring a moving carrier signal flag. Happy Valentine’s Day!!

(Not a very professional looking picture, it was a gloomy day today. If I have an opportunity to retake it, I will replace this one.)

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  If you don’t have the retired cloud punch, you could swap out the Balmy Blue background with Basic White and create some wispy clouds using a sponge dauber and Balmy Blue ink.

I (HEART):  Love that the mailbox die already has the hole to connect the carrier signal flag with a brad. No pressure in getting these to line up manually!! 😊

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I hope this project has inspired your creativity. I would love to see what you have created. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.

Happy Holidays 2024

Hello my crafty friends. It was a mad dash to the end, but I was able to finish up holiday cards and crafts in the “Nick” of time. For my personal cards this year, I used both the cards from the October Paper Pumpkin kit (love the collection of birds and the tri-fold card bases) and this super cute card using the Humble Home stamp set and punch!

RANDOM THOUGHTS:  I mailed cards in batches this year and this is a quick photo of the final batch. I kept this card simple. The white craft ink needed time to dry. Then it was an assembly line to put them together.

I (HEART):  The Real Red and White Adhesive-Backed Peppermint bling is my favorite!! 😊
