So many fabulous Kit choices – Paper Pumpkin or those in the Kit Collection


One of my favorite product lines Stampin' Up! is excelling at is their kits. There are quite a few options but a favorite is Paper Pumpkin.  Each month we get a sneak peak of the coming kit. We all have an option of getting one each month or purchasing a pre-paid subscription.  I usually get a pre-paid during Sale-a-Bration so I earn free product at the same time. 

We have until the 10th of each month to opt in for the coming kit. That's tomorrow! This month it's the Sunshine & Smiles kit; it coordinates with the Rain or Shine suite in the current Jan-June mini catalog. 

They had offered a pair of die-cuts that match the stamps in this kit but they sold out.  

Opt in here to subscribe to monthly kits – remember you have full control of which kits you receive. Skip a month or cancel.  Or choose a pre-paid subscription here. When you get a pre-paid for 3 months or more you can choose free Sale-a-Bration choices too!  At least through February 28th.

You might not realize Stampin' Up! has an entire collection of kits in the online store.  They call it the Kit Collection.  


The photo above includes just some of the kits available!  See them all here.  These kits are all inclusive which means almost everything you need is included in the kit to complete them.  

I recently made the cards in the Saying Thanks kit and LOVE how they turned out!

You can see this kit here.  It is a non-stamping kit with 9 cards & envelopes.  It's just $13 and would make a fabulous gift!  Everything comes in this kit; I believe all you need is a scissors.  

Another new and exciting kit is the Wreath of Blooms kit. 

Everything you need to make this kit is includes but they do recommend hot glue to adhere the flowers to the wreath.  It's about 8" around and costs $13. See it here.  

You might also like to know that my favorite kits – the Birthday Organizer kit – is back and available again.  It was so popular they ran out.  

This photo includes my 'jazzed up' cover and a few extra cards I made for a kit to go. I have sold out of this kit now but you can still get the original kit from Stampin' Up! here. The full kit includes the card organizer and 12 birthday cards & envelopes for just $25.  

You can see it here.  It's another 'all inclusive' non-stamping kit that most people would love to organize their cards.

  • Origami Christmas Tree card; soooo easy!


    I make one of these trees almost every year.  Why? Because they are easy & fun and we always have new Designer Paper for me to play with. 

    All you need are four squares of DSP. No scoring or other measurements.  Watch the video here or below to see how it's done. 

    Here are the supplies:

    • Card stock – Old Olive & Mossy Meadow card bases, Real Red & Cherry Cobbler layers, White greeting strip & inside
    • Designer Paper – Heartwarming Hugs (out of stock now) and Sweet Stockings
    • Greeting image from the Christmas Cheer stamp set
    • Star topper from the Starlit punch
    • Embossing folder – Evergreen Forest (out of stock temporarily) 

    Measurements: 

    • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”
    • DSP – 4 square pieces at 1 ¼”, 1 ¾”, 2 ¼” & 2 ¾”
    • Textured front & White inside are 4” X 5 ¼”

    Below is the video for you. I share another special card project and some pretty star/snowflake ornaments as well.

  • Easy Christmas Ornament card


    I think this is pretty clever & unique; it's a 'faux' Christmas ornament on a card. And it's quick & easy too!  

    It looks so real; like you could lift it off!  And you actually could if you use temporary adhesive; or add it to a pocket.  

    I shared this project on a FB Live last week.  It's the second project I made in this video.  

    Products used:

    • Merry Melody embossing folder on the White CS
    • The ornament is made with the largest smooth circle in our Circles dies. 
    • The DSP is called Painted Christmas and is in low inventory right now.  
    • Elegant Trim for the 'hanger'. 
    • Brushed Metallic specialty CS for the 'hanger'. 
    • Heat embossing for the greeting – from the Words of Cheer stamp set. 
    • CS is Real Red, White & Evening Evergreen 

    Here's a close-up of it. 

    I give a few hints in the video on achieving this.  Basically you want to stamp your greeting first and add it to your DSP.  THEN cut both pieces out at the same time with your circle die.

  • Fun way to use paper strips! Live video tonight!


    We made these cards on FB Live Monday night.  What a fun and easy way to use up your extra designer paper pieces! Click here to watch the video. 

    I used the Pattern Party designer paper for these cards. It's a host choice in the back of the annual catalog seen here.  One side is Black & White and the other is colorful prints. I love the black & white patterns with a pop of color! 

    Tips: 

    • I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS.  This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to. 
    • I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one. 
    • Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in. 
    • I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.  
    • My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long.  It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.  
    • Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension. 
    • Add a greeting and accents if desired. 

    You might wonder where this greeting is from.  It's an upcoming Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Hello Friend'.  It's in a bundle with a pack of Designer Paper.  It will be free with a $100 purchase during SAB in January & February.  Of course Demo's can earn it free now during our pre-order period. 

    The other new items here is a punch.  Can you spot it?  It's called the bough punch and has two options in the punch.  The large leaf and the 'buds' too.
