Quick & Pretty Traditions of Christmas with video

December 8, 2025

I shared how to create these beautiful Christmas cards on last week’s video. Scroll down to grab the free project sheet or watch the video.

Aren’t they beautiful? Flower bouquet’s for Christmas? Absolutely!
My colors include White, Real Red, Old Olive & Mossy meadow.

These are made with a few products from the 2025 Holiday catalog and one from our Online Exclusives. Here’s the list:

– Traditions of Christmas specialty designer series paper
– Christmas Greenery dies seen here
– Traditional Labels stamp set seen here
– Peaceful Greenery embossing folder (now discounted) seen here
– Textured Notes dies seen here

Traditions of Christmas specialty designer series paper

Whew! Seems like a lot but you could easily substitute other products. Instead of using the Christmas Greenery dies the bouquet from the DSP could be fussy cut.

I’ve used this pretty designer paper a lot this season. It’s a sure winner with it’s gold foil accents. And it’s now discounted! See it here.

It’s so easy to die-cut the florals with the dies in the Christmas Greenery dies I might just make a few more of these cards.
I did texture the front of the card base but you could easily add a second layer to the front instead.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it and save to a folder on your computer.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more quick Christmas card. I hope you watch it!

Adorable Poppin’ By card swaps

May 22, 2025

Today I'm sharing 3 adorable cards made with the Poppin' By bundle from our latest Online Exclusive release.

Candace made this amazing fun fold card for our May team swap:

She folded her card front into a box and added lots of sponged popcorn and the cute box on the lower front. Note his sunglasses & shoes! They're part of the stamps & dies bundle. The corrugated card stock on the front mimics a box so well.

Do you see the window sheet strips on the two pieces of popcorn coming out of the box? They flutter when you move the card. She also added a 'wobble' to the top piece of popcorn. Love this so much!

Here's the Poppin' By bundle – stamp set & dies. So cute! See it here:

I received a few cute popcorn cards with my Disney swaps.

This first one is made by Marcia Besecker. She added so much detail to her card!

Lots of texture and fun details on this one!

Next is an adorable swap card made by Amy Storie. I love her choice of colors and the fun accents she added to her card.

This bundle is super cute don't you think?

Sneak Peek’s of upcoming products plus swaps!

May 20, 2025

Today I'm sharing swaps from the 2025 Stampin' Up! incentive trip to Orlando, FL. And, are you ready for some sneak peeks of upcoming products?

Here are the display boards for our card swaps. We had the choice to participate or not and if we did we could make cards or 3d items. Cards were 26 count. I'll share mine soon.

Next is an upcoming kit you'll see in June from our Kit collection. Guess what!? It's a scrapbook kit!! I've been begging for this for years!

The photo above shows both cards and scrapbook pages made with this upcoming kit. It will be available on June 3rd.

~~~

Next is a new set of products we'll see in the Holiday catalog in September. Designer paper, coordinating cards & envelopes and a set of greetings ephemera in gold foil. These items will definitely be the featured product in one of my kits to go this fall.

And look a this pretty designer paper and stamp & die bundle! It will also be featured in the upcoming Holiday catalog in September.

I'm excited about this bundle because my friend Susie and I are sharing our products so we can both make samples.

Next you'll see the Perfectly Pears suite on a display board. These pretty products will be one of our new Online Exclusives seen in July.

Demonstrators will be able to pre-order it in June so you'll likely see projects shared with it very soon!

We had to stop in the M & M store in Disney Springs.

I could not resist taking a photo of all of these colors of M & M's!! Color is my jam! I could have stared at them for a long time!

Back from Disney World – the 2024 Stampin’ Up! incentive trip

May 19, 2025

We had a wonderful time on the Stampin' Up! annual incentive trip to Disney World. We got home late last night and even though we hoped to have a restful trip we were quite exhausted. These North Dakotans were not ready for 96 degree heat!

I'll share a few of our favorite photos today and more of Stampin' Up! products tomorrow.

This is what we saw on the TV screen when we arrived to our room:

Below is the view from our room in the Grand Floridian Resort at Disney World:

This basket was found in our room at the end of the first night there. A super neat felt basket (that folded flat) filled with some of our favorite snacks & beverages (a survey was sent to us last fall).

The beautiful nightly fireworks we could see from our resort. We spent many evenings at the outdoor cafe visiting with our friends and enjoying them.

I had to get a picture with Sara (SU CEO) with the paper chain background!

Our friends, Dan & Lori Heiling, Susie & Deke Wood and us at Hollywood Studios.

We at at the 50's Primetime Cafe in Hollywood Studios.

I'll share more photos tomorrow!
