I shared this card on last week’s Live:

Save

It features the new Branching Out bundle from the 2025 Holiday catalog from Stampin’ Up! See the bundle here.

My colors include Early Espresso with Old Olive, Pecan Pie & White.

It opens with two flaps; one on the right opens first. Then the left does too. As you can see I textured the Olive layer with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder. The notched frame dies are included in the Branching Out bundle.

The designer paper on the left is the Need for Tweed seen here.

• Need a quick gift box for the Holidays? Use your designer paper!!

  December 24, 2020

  ---

  Are you a last minute wrapper?  I can help! I made these fast gift boxes on this week's FB Live.  Honestly they are super easy and you can make them wide or tall depending on where you score.

  Each one is made from 2 pieces of 12 X 12" designer paper; these are from Toile Tidings which is now discontinued and out of stock.   Double sided paper is preferred and makes them extra special.  I used the same patterns for each box; flipping the pattern so they coordinated. 

  I know some of you might think it's frivolous to use your designer paper for gift boxes.  Now consider how much DSP you have stored up!  Use it; you can do it!

  And here is another version with the new True Love designer paper; all Black & White! It's from the upcoming 2021 Spring Catalog!

  I colored some of the flowers on the paper with both Rococo Rose and Purple Posy Blends markers.  Then I added two ribbons; Black glittered and Purple Posy.

• Quite Curvy & Classic Christmas Strips

  December 23, 2020

  ---

  I totally enjoy making these strip cards!  It seems like I always have little strips of paper left over from a project. Most times I can toss them without a thought but now & then I have trouble doing that. This technique puts them to great use! 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  You can catch my tips on this technique in the video below. 

  I used the Classic Christmas designer paper on this card.  It's available now through January 4th or while supplies last.  The colors are Shaded Spruce, Sahara Sand & Cherry Cobbler.  See it here. 

  I also used the Quite Curvy stamp set and dies.  They are available now and will be in the upcoming 2021 Spring Catalog.  See them here now.

  This gorgeous designer paper is retiring in a few weeks and it's on sale now while supplies last!  See it here. 

  The Snowflake Wishes bundle is also retiring (as a bundle). It's returning separately in the upcoming Annual Catalog in May but it will not be 10% off then. See it here.
