Birthday card ideas you’ll want to case! Free project sheet too

November 9, 2026

On last week’s video I shared two birthday card ideas I know you’ll want to copy/case.

Isn’t this a great idea?! To create the present, I cut a small square of DSP and wrapped ribbon around it with a few loops at the top.

I drew lines from the top of the present for the star die-cuts. The Shining Stars dies worked perfectly. These dies just sold out! They were the product of the month for October; I’m surprised they lasted as long as they did.

This card is a gatefold and the images are from the Candle Party stamp set seen here. It’s so cute! It does come with coordinating dies in the bundle seen here. My colors include Lemon Lime Twist with Azure Afternoon and Poppy Parade. The Designer paper inside is the Timeless Christmas.

I used a white ribbon on the gift but colored it with my Poppy Parade Blends marker. Perfect match!
This is a special and unique birthday card anyone would love to receive!

I did create a free project sheet for this card; click here to download or print it.

And below is the video tutorial for this card and one more fabulous idea using this stamp set and the Shining Stars dies.

Share a Milkshake card with video & free projects sheet!

April 3, 2023

The Share a Milkshake bundle is SWEET and super fun to create with. We made this fun card at my March card clubs:

You can see the Share a Milkshake bundle here; it's filled with cute 2-step images, quirky font greetings and fabulous dies. See that straw in the ice cream? It fits into a 'slit' in the die-cut ice cream piece.

*This bundle is carrying over into the new Annual catalog but it will not be a bundle at 10% off any longer; the stamp set & dies will be sold separately.

That bottom large die above folds into a textured sugar cone; you can then insert your 'scoops' of ice cream in it like the project below shared by Stampin' Up!

Here's what we stamped inside our card. The 2-step bowl of ice cream with a die-cut silver spoon is extra special.

My colors include Coastal Cabana, Sweet Sorbet and Polished Pink with a bit of Early Espresso for the chocolate topping die-cuts. the striped DSP on the bottom is from the Country Floral Lane DSP in the Spring catalog.

Here's the free project sheet for this project; it includes measurements, directions and supplies. Download March 23 Share a Milkshake

The Last Chance Sale starts Tuesday!! The Stamparatus is already low inventory!

April 2, 2023

Tuesday starts our big Last Chance sale on both the Annual and Spring (January-April) catalogs. However things are already selling out! I wanted to give you a heads up on my favorite tool.

One of the biggest shocker on the retired lists is our Stamparatus seen here. It's already in low inventory!

I am SO SAD that it is retiring. You may wonder why because it's an amazing stamping positioning tool. There are some copyright & legal issues happening that is forcing Stampin' Up! to take it out of their product offerings.

This means the magnets, grid paper are leaving as well. So if you don't have a Stamparatus yet; get one today! And if you do, I suggest getting a set of magnets here while you can. They're half off starting Tuesday, April 4th.

Here's a video showing you the benefits of a Stamparatus.

And here's another one below on hinge step stamping.
