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.  

Save

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!

• New Catalog Party Displays!

  January 13, 2026

  ---

  It was a bit chilly when I held my New Catalog Open House this weekend but I still had a great turnout. I teased them to come with the promise of some warm soup and beverage. I truly love seeing my customers and friends come and enjoy spending time with each other here. Friendships are a huge part of stamping!

  Here are some of the displays I created for the event.

  Save

  Many of the cards on my display boards are swaps I received. I participated in 4 different swaps and received over 100 cards back! I love swapping!!

  Save

  I place my cards in our clear envelopes so unfortunately there may be some reflection in the photos.

  Save

  I have two magnetic boards from IKEA in my studio I can add DSP to for easy displays.

  Save

  Unfortunately the Sweet Bugs stamp set is already out of stock! Darn; that will be a popular one! No worries though, it should be back later this month.

  Save

  The designer paper hanging at the top is the new Splash of Sparkles specialty DSP. You can see it here.

  Save

  One of my favorite suites is the Nature Walk seen here.

  Save

  Above are the Online Exclusives released in November. I had to include these in my display because I had so many great samples and some people had not seen them yet. You can see all of our Online Exclusives here. The only difference between these products is they are not in a printed catalog. They can be ordered at any time.

  Save

  Lastly are my two January kits to go on display. Lovely & Beautiful and Sweet Bugs – both are fun fold cards.
  You can get the details and reserve your favorite here. Or choose the PDF tutorials.

  I served a Mexican Street Corn White Chicken Chili soup that everyone loved. Here’s a link to it on Pinterest if you’re interested.

• New Catalog card swaps video

  January 12, 2026

  On last week’s Live video I shared lots & lots of my new catalog and Online product card swaps as I walk you through the catalog. I received many amazing cards with great layouts & fancy folds. I hope you watch it. Here’s the link.

  I held my New Catalog Party this weekend and it was a big success! It’s always great to see people I don’t get to see regularly.
  I had so many wonderful displays of new products and my card swaps too. I’ll share those later this week.

  I did receive a few of the new kits in our Kit Collection seen here. One I had to make right away is the Adopt a Pet kit. It’s adorable! Kids would absolutely love making & playing with these.

  Save

  Isn’t it cute? Here’s the link to it in the store. It’s just $15. Oh, the imaginative play children will have with these critters would be pretty special.

  Save

  In the video I also shared the many new Stampin’ Up! specials going on.

• 12 Days of Crafting PDF is ready!

  January 8, 2026

  ---

  I don’t know why I put it off because I truly enjoyed playing and creating with my 12 Days of Crafting kit.

  Save

  It became available a few months back and there are still some left! See it here.

  I couldn’t share the projects until after Christmas because some people did open it as an advent kit and did not want any sneak peeks. But it’s ready now and I can finally share the projects!

  Save

  This incredible crafting kit is filled with tons of never before seen products like 2 stamp sets, 2 sets of dies, multiple pre-cut pieces, new DSP, embellishments, twine & so much more.
  I used a few inks along with the products in the kit to create 12 pretty cards. The PDF tutorial is free to anyone who purchases the kit from me (and my Team of course).

  The PDF is available on my Tutorial Shop here for $16.
