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.

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!!

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Bonus days are here!

Get a beautiful PDF of Modern Christmas projects!

October 2, 2025
Any online order in October placed through me will receive a gorgeous PDF of projects featuring the new Modern Christmas suite. This is a beautiful suite filled with Black, White & Gold foil accents.

It includes 10 projects with photos, directions. a supply list and measurements for each project. You can see this suite here.

I created a card I want to share with you. I think it’s beautiful!

My colors are Black, White & Gold. I used multiple sheets of the Modern Christmas Designer paper. Notice that some of the trees are raised. I fussy cut a section from the designer paper and added it over a die-cut circle of another set of trees. I layered that onto a Black die-cut circle from the Spotlight on Nature dies. Finally I added one of the new gold hoops around it all. Tip: adhere the gold hoops with tiny dashes of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Works great!

I hope you like this card; it’s one of the free projects included in the free PDF tutorial for anyone who orders from me in October. Click here to order!

Easy box to gift or store cards in with free project sheet

September 30, 2025

I’m thrilled to share this fabulous box to gift or store hand made cards in. It starts with a box from our Kit Collection. They’re sturdy and look what you can do with one!

I shared how to make this on last week’s Live video. I know many of you have purchased kits from Stampin’ Up! and hopefully have a few of these saved. The inside organizing sections are made with the thin card board from our designer paper packs. Recycle!

I created a free project sheet so you can replicate this at home. I truly hope you do! Click here to download or print this project sheet and also watch the video below to see how it’s made and see my tips for success too.

The photo above shows the two sets of cards I made with the Gathering Moments stamp set – 2 sets of colors too! Which do you prefer?

Here’s the other version of the box I shared:

Below is the video where I shared how to make the 5 at a time cards shown in the box and the box itself.

Gorgeous cards with my ‘5 at a time’ templates! Free project sheet, templates & video tutorial

September 29, 2025

I shared these beautiful cards on last week’s Live video. They were a big hit!

I love making cards with my 5 at a time templates. Making the most of my card stock gives me a great deal of satisfaction. I hope you’ll save these templates and use them in your own crafting.

Below is the template I stamped on; it’s slightly smaller than the one I used for layering. I often use this or the larger one for the neutral layers inside my cards.

Tip: I recommend making your first cut vertically at 4 3/4″. Then cut the left 3 pieces into 3 1/2″ layers. Once you cut all 5 pieces you’ll have one small piece left for a greeting or for punching.

Next is the template for layering the above ‘stamped’ pieces on. It’s just slightly larger – 1/8″ so it’s quite a narrow margin.

The above template has even less waste! It’s so nice to get 5 layered card pieces from 2 sheets of 8 1/2″ X 11″ card stock. Please save these templates!!

In the past when I made cards with these templates I stamped before cutting the 5 pieces apart. This was a bit tricky to stamp in the right place. This time I cut my pieces before I stamped on them. *Always start with your greetings!

As you can see I made sure I stamped three pieces landscape and two vertical. This isn’t necessary but it does change your cards up a bit.

I used Cherry Cobbler, Timid Tiger; and Pretty Peacock here. I like adding Pretty Peacock and Cherry Cobbler to my fall cards. The stamp set is called Gathering Moments seen here.

Tip on stamping – always stamp the greeting image first. Then start with the largest image and work your way down to the smallest to fill in any gaps. It’s okay to overlap your images.

As you can see I blended a light wash of Timid Tiger over the stamped leaves. This softens the appearance and truly enhances your stamping.

Here you can see the stamped pieces added to the larger layers from the 2nd template above.

These were made simply with no punches or die-cuts. Sometimes it’s fun to just stamp and create. You can easily add the greetings on another layer (punches or die-cuts) to add more dimension.

I’ll share my second set of cards using this template later this week. And I’ll also show the fabulous card box I made to gift them in!

See how pretty they are once they’re added to the card bases and gems and twine have been added.

I created a free project sheet that includes directions, photos, templates and supplies. Click here to download or print it. Please save this one!!

Below is the video tutorial. Please subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you’re there.
