Boughs of Holly Suite projects; with a special fun fold you’ll be amazed at!


I think everyone is loving the Boughs of Holly suite seen here; the paper is stunning and the Leaves of Holly bundle is incredible as well!  

These are the last swap cards from our Christmas swap with my Flowerbug's Team.  I hope you've enjoyed their amazing & creative projects. *Scroll back to see them all. 

Marilyn made this pretty card:

Her colors include Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler with White.  She stamped a few spatters on the designer paper before texturing it with the Gingham embossing folder before adding the die-cut greeting and leaves.  This greeting die-cut with the attached holly leaves is so pretty & unique. 

Measurements: Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", DSP is 4 1/2" X 3 1/4", the Cherry Cobbler layer is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" 

Here's a photo of the entire Boughs of Holly suite:

Next up is an amazing card by Paula.  She made a vertical Pillar card.  I've never seen one before.  

The way she attached the mini envelope across the front 'bridge' is so neat.  Here are the directions she shared with me:

The dimensions are:
  • 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 cardstock in Evening Evergreen
  • On 8-1/2 side score down 1/4, 1, 1-3/4, 2-1/2  6, 6-3/4, 7-1/2 and 8-1/4.
  • Banish all score lines toward the center
  • DSP strips are 5/8" X 5 1/4" and the center DSP is 1 3/4" X 5 1/4", the bridge piece across is 5/8" X 3 3/8"  

It folds flat to fit in a A2 size envelope.  

Products used include the Mini Pocket Envelope die, the tag was Tailor Made tags and the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch for the greeting. She also added the Flat Jingle Bells on page 27 of the Holiday catalog and the Wintry 3D embossing folder for the texture on the pocket. 

The tag pulls out of the pocket for even more interest. 

So creative and unique!  

Here is a photo of all of the incredible swap cards by my Team in October. I hope you've enjoyed this weeks posts featuring their cards.

  • Stunning guy cards in a pre-cut kit to go; limited quantity!


    I have a few of these wood textures guy card kits left in my shop.  They're filled with wood accents and textures. 

    I started with a Paper Pumpkin kit from last year and jazzed it up with extra cards, envelopes and layers.  

    It features 12 cards with envelopes all with woodgrain paper patterns. It includes pre-cut cards, Linen Thread and all the elements you see here. You'll need a few inks, greeting images, adhesives and a paper trimmer to cut a few card bases down. 

    Reserve yours soon; I have a limited quantity of these!

    The PDF tutorial will be send to you immediately after purchase. The card kit will be sent a few days afterwards, unless it's combined with an April kit. Then they'll ship out together at the end of April. 

    Here's a link to the kit; it's $30 plus shipping. Combine it with any other kit and save on shipping costs!

  • Heads up! Card stock prices are rising in the upcoming 2025-26 Annual Catalog


    Everything seems to be rising in cost these days and unfortunately Stampin' Up! is experiencing this as well.  Mill prices have risen quite a bit so the price for our solid core card stock is going up in the new 2025 Annual Catalog.  

    I know it's upsetting to hear this but it is understandable. I want Stampin' Up! to stay in business and continue to offer us high quality card stock & other products.  Solid core CS does cost more than white core to produce and many mills do not produce it. Our card stock is among the best in the paper crafting world!  

    So my advice to you is to stock up on your favorite colors or any that you use a lot.  The price change goes into effect in early May.  Here's a link to our beautiful card stock.  

    Luckily this is the only thing that we'll see a major price change in the upcoming new catalog. Yay!  It's easy to be negative about this but I have complete faith that Stampin' Up! does their best to keep prices as low as possible for us.

  • Pretty Daisy Daydream card & sneak peek of upcoming Paper Pumpkin kits


    I created this beautiful card using the March Daisy Daydream Paper Pumpkin kit. It's one of my alternatives made with items in the kit. 

    I used the card base and the stamp set but added a few other items such as:

    • Perennial Postage die-cut that I sponged the edges on
    • leaves die-cuts from the Cheerful Daisy dies
    • Daffodil Delight ribbon (adhered loops to the back)
    • a Mossy Meadow layer
    • Adhesive-Backed Metallic gems 

    Each month all of my Paper Pumpkin customers (and team members) receive a free tutorial filled with alternative ideas. It's really fun to receive a kit each month and start playing with the items in the box.  

    Go here to subscribe to receive a box each month. You can manage which kits you'll receive – skipping or adding an extra.  

    Here is a sneak peek of the next three months of Paper Pumpkin: 

    And there is an add on just for PP subscribers called Hugs Abloom dies seen here.  This set of dies will work with each of the upcoming 3 months of kits! 

    Starting April 15th you'll now earn rewards on your Paper Pumpkin kits!  Host rewards are changing so all orders over $20 earn rewards!  Here's a graph to explain:
