These deals are just in time for my embellishing for the holidays … how about you?? The Matte Black Dots are great for Halloween, the Sparkle & Shine are in my collection for Shaker Cards and jazzing up a project with some sparkle.
If you missed last night’s LIVE Facebook presentation, I will be sharing it with you today, along with close-ups and dimensions shared in the video. The Book Binder Fun Fold is so easy to make but gives you that special touch of fun … and it works great with any occasion!!
Let’s take a look at the video and then I will share the measurements for the card…
So cute and easy … right! One piece of cardstock, two score lines and some adhesive and you can create the Book Binder Fun Fold. This bundle makes it easy to stamp and die cut your way to “sweet” Christmas cards and treats!
Measurements:
Card Base: 11″ x 4-1/4″ then score at 5-1/2″ and 6-3/4″ … the adhesive goes between the 5-1/2″ and 6-3/4″ score lines to create the “binder”.
Real Red Mat: 4″ x 4″
Designer Paper or White (for inside): 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″
Binder Designer Paper: 4″ x 1″
The layout to this card is so simple that you can use it for any occasion … I’ll share more with you later.
In the Sweet Candy Cane bundle I showed you that one little die that creates a little “wrap” for candy canes but I wanted to share what else you could use them for … non-candy treats / gifts!!
Talk about a quick and easy little gift to give … and inexpensive. I used scrap pieces to cut my little wraps out and the pencils were from the $$tore! I think there are about 8 pencils in each pack, and they always have them for special occasions.
I hope you enjoyed the fun fold and the little treat wraps today. I’ll be back to share more of these with you.
Thank you so much for joining me today, and to those who watched me LIVE last night.
Have an amazing Wednesday ~

Today’s beautiful Wishing You Everything Wonderfulcard showcases Charming Sentiments Stamp Set and Enchanting Details Dies … this card was cased from the project featuring the Willow Tree Bundle. The original card can be found on page 167 of the 2022-2023 Stampin’ Up! Catalog, but I find this card quite stunning. It was created by one of my design team members….
Begin by die cutting three Enchanting Detail Floral borders from Highland Heather cardstock.
Cut a piece of Highland Heather cardstock to 5.25″ x 4″. Use one of the Enchanting Detail die cuts as a stencil and layer over top right corner. Using a blending brush add Highland Heather ink over makeshift stencil. Repeat this process in bottom left corner. Mount onto card base.
Take remaining two Enchanting Detail Floral border and adhere together to make one thick piece. Mount to top left corner of card – Stamp sentiment from Charming Sentiments in Tuxedo black ink onto Basic White cardstock. Die cut out using coordinating die.
Cut a piece of Rose Gold ribbon to 4”. Fold in half and adhere to card. Adhere die cut sentiment on top of ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add Iridescent Rhinestones to card front. See card example for placement.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card as much as I did. Thank you for dropping by.
Happy Saturday!! A few days back I shared my version of a card that I cased from the catalog. It was my challenge from my Design Team I’m on … so today I thought I would share another card with you that features the same layout! (The Original card CASED was the “Hello, Baby” card in the upper right-hand corner on page 46 of the Annual Catalog)
He’s so cute … isn’t he? I liked the layout so that is the card I chose. I decided to swap out the Happier than Happy Bundle for the Kindest Gnomes bundle. I couldn’t resist the pretty Storybook Gnomes Designer paper that would be the backdrop for my cute little gnome.
So today. we’re getting Yeti to Party ….
This card turned out so cute and you can see this layout is perfect for any occasion. Bonus … if you have designer paper scraps, this layout is the perfect one to use them up. Here she is using the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series paper and of course, the Yeti to Party stamp set on page 38 of the July / December Mini Catalog.
I’m thrilled to tell you that Stampin’ Up! has created a die set for the Yeti to Party and can be found with the Perfect Partners promotion during September ONLY.
If you would like the PDF for my Gnome card … just comment below and I’d be happy to send it to you!
Thank you for joining today, have a great weekend.

Today I have a card from the He’s the Man suite!! This one is super easy, super quick and super cute! I’m using the die cuts that are included in the He’s the Man designer paper. These make creating your cards or scrapbook pages quick & easy. I just had to use the Layering Designs Vellum with the road map on it… it goes perfect with my card today.
I’m using Cajun Craze for the card base of 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ then scored and folded at 4-1/4″. The Basic White mat is 4″ x 5-1/4″ and the He’s the Man designer paper is cut the same at 4″ x 5-1/4″ …. I wanted a bright visual to highlight the map.
I thought this was the perfect card to share with you because the Layering Designs Vellum is on sale in our Weekly Deals!!
I’m excited to share today’s card with you … a Halloween card with a mash up of the Scary Cute and the Kindest Gnomes bundles, using the “Color Block” Technique!

You can CLICK HERE to download the list of discounted stamp sets!
Join me in watching the replay and see how to create the color block technique … it’s so simple and fun! You’ll also hear the class announcements and more.
That was easy (except maybe that washi tape I could not find the end to – LOL) However, the gnome was super simple to put together … I love how the die cut beard is embossed not only to show texture in the beard, but to help you place the nose and hat perfectly!!
Now let’s take a closer look at this cute card.
The washi tape in addition to the Adhesive Stars really adds some fun sparkle to the card, as if the bold colors weren’t enough! lol I just love how “playful” it turned out. You can use this same pattern for any style card …. Birthday, Christmas, Baby Shower, Anniversary … and the list goes on!
Here are the measurements for the “color blocks” …
Gorgeous Grape: 3″ Width x 4″ Length
Pumpkin Pie: 2″ Width x 2-1/8″ Length

Grab a Paper Pumpkin or two … or more, and have some fun!
Yesterday I shared a beautiful card that was quick and easy to create using the beautiful Snowflake Specialty Vellum, today I’m sharing one with the flocked snowflakes and blending brushes.
Here is a close up of the stunning Snowflake Specialty Vellum …. three sheets have iridescent patterns and three are flocked in white.
The flocked paper is so elegant and soft and is beautiful in white, but I wanted to give it a special touch, so I brought out my blending brush and used the soft pastel color; Fresh Freesia.
The blending brush leaves a soft hue of color on the vellum but the flocked snowflakes grab a little more so you get a beautiful two tone effect. This technique will be a favorite for those that enjoy a more “non-traditional” card.
The sentiment for today’s card also uses the Very Best Occasions Stamp Set …. and like I said yesterday, if you do not have this amazing stamp set in your collection, you are going to want to add it to your collection.
The Very Best Occasions Stamp set is part of a bundle which includes the Very Best Trio punch. That is what gave my greeting the cute edges you see … with a quick push of the punch. To complete my card I added the Silver Metallic Edge ribbon. Imagine creating these pretty cards in any of your favorite colors … oh yes!
Thank you for stopping by today…. Hope yours is a good one.
Here is the list of ingredients I used for today’s beautifully quick & simple card ….
Today I have a quick & easy and very pretty Christmas card that will add a Little More Sparkle and Shine into the lives of your friends and family when they receive this handmade card from you this holiday season.
Just some cardstock, the beautiful Snowflake Specialty Vellum, the Very Best Occasions stamp set, a punch and your ink (oh yes, I also used the new Metallic Woven Ribbon) and you can create a stack of beautiful cards.
Let’s being with the stunning Snowflake Specialty Vellum ….
You’ll add a touch of elegance to your winter crafts and creations with the Snowflake 12″ x 12″ Specialty Vellum. This unique paper includes three different snowflake designs in white vellum and iridescent foil—that’s six different papers to get creative with!
We got that professional touch with ease by layering the snowflake vellum on our Night of Navy card front and backed by the Basic White so that the iridescent snowflakes were the highlight of the card …
The sentiment is so fun and fitting for the times, and is perfect for our handmade cards!! If you do not have this amazing stamp set in your collection, you are going to want to add it before it goes away!
If you’re looking for a stamp set that has heartfelt sentiments for just about everything, then you need the Very Best Occasions Stamp Set. These 12 versatile sentiments celebrate the Christmas season, express gratitude for family and friendships, share positive and uplifting messages, and so much more. Whether you need a simple, “With Comfort & Love,” or an upbeat, “You’re the best ever!” this stamp set has you covered.
My sentiment is stamped in the coordinating Night of Navy to match my cardbase and punched out with one of my favorites … the Label Me Lovely punch. Add some adhesive to the back and then create a little whimsy and texture by running the Metallic Ribbon back and forth before mounting it onto your card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Quick … Sparkly … and easy to recreate for your friends and family. I hope you enjoyed today’s card sample … the holiday season can be stressful, I don’t want your cardmaking to be.
