Time of Giving for your Holiday projects with video tutorial.


On last Tuesday's FB Live I focused on the Time of Giving bundle in the current 2021 Holiday Catalog.  This bundle is for many occasions and more fun and versatile than I thought! 

I'll start with the autumn card featuring the baby wipe technique.

Isn't it pretty?!  My colors are Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie & Old Olive. Those are the ink refills I used on my baby wipe. If you haven't done the baby wipe technique please watch the video below or click here.  It's so simple and all you need is a folded baby wipe and a few colors of ink refills.  

The little die-cut leaves on the greeting are also in this bundle.  The Gold Fine Art ribbon is from the annual catalog as well as the white die-cut for the greeting.  It's in the Stitched So Sweetly set.


  All of these images & dies are from this Tidings of Giving bundle seen here. 

Next is a beautiful snowflake card that's mostly white but the pop of colors shows off this pretty die wonderfully!  It creates a 'window' effect.  I die-cut three dies in a row on my White CS and for the soft colors under it I used my blending brushes with Just Jade & Bermuda Bay ink.

For this next card I chose the Santa & sleigh die.  As you can see I left a wide border on this one so I could stamp the greeting directly on it.  This pretty background paper is from the Beauty of the Earth DSP in the Stampin' Up! annual catalog seen here. 

And here is a card using the ornament die.  Again I cut three in a row, lowering the die each time.  Another bit of the Beauty of the Earth designer paper on the side and a greeting added with the Double Oval Punch.  Glittered white ribbon finishes it off. 

And below is the video where you can see how I achieved these techniques.  I hope you watch!  *Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel here too!

  • Happy Valentine’s Day! Do you have a favorite??


    Happy Valentine's Day!  

    I shared this on FB last night and hoped you would to pick a favorite too!  I'm curious what the top pink Stampin' Up! color is….

    I have a ton of Valentine's swaps I want to share with you too.  Most of these are made by my stamping friends. I cannot give credit to all of them as their post-it or business card was lost as my local customers browsed through them.  

    My friend Susie Wood made this adorable Hello Ladybug card.  She used the Checks & Dots embossing folder on the Red layer. 

    This next one features the Nuts & Bolts stamp set & is made by Julie Davison.  

    This cute card lost it's post-it so I cannot give credit.  I love how the panels are cut apart but the Sweet Talk designer paper still shows it's pattern.  

    This next card was made by Jodi Reinert and features the Love & Happiness bundle seen here.  Love the textures! 

    This next card is so cute!!  It was also made by my friend Susie Wood. I love the chalkboard effect of stamping on Black with White Craft ink.  Nuts & Bolts is the stamp set & the Gingham embossing folder was used on the background. 

    Lastly is a sweet card made by Jennifer Cotton.  She used the Stitched So Sweetly dies and the Sweet Conversations stamp set.

  • Surprise! There’s an extra FREE stamp set in March’s ‘Beyond the Horizon’ kit!


    The Beyond the Horizon Paper Pumpkin Kit for March includes watercolor prints and designs inspired by the beautiful nature around us to create nine cards and coordinating envelopes. And paper pieces that perfectly coordinate with the amazing New Horizons Suite Collection seen here in the January–June 2022 Mini Catalog.

    Don’t forget the extra FREE stamp set in March (yes—that’s two stamp sets in one kit!) as our way of saying THANK YOU to all of our wonderful Paper Pumpkin subscribers.

    Details on this kit: 

    • This month’s kit contains enough elements to create 9 cards—3 each of 3 designs—and 9 coordinating envelopes. This all-inclusive kit includes printed card bases, die-cut paper pieces, embellishments, adhesive, and more!
    • The Beyond the Horizon Paper Pumpkin Kit includes a Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin’ Spot!
    • This kit’s stamp set is perfect for any occasion. With sentiments that say “thanks”, “hello”, “thinking of you,” and so many more, you’ll be able to use this stamp set year round.
    • And don't forget; this month’s kit comes with a BONUS stamp set for FREE! *value of $18

    There will be a change in Paper Pumpkin pricing going forward.  Here's what Stampin' Up! has recently stated:

    Despite Covid’s continued strain on the global economy, Stampin’ Up! has been working diligently to maintain the lowest possible price for our Paper Pumpkin subscription box, including absorbing costs to prevent price increases. However, as we continue to see greater cost increases to raw materials, shipping, and overhead, we have made the decision to increase pricing in order to maintain the high quality and value of the monthly kit. On 1 March 2022, Paper Pumpkin kits will see a slight increase in price. 

    But, there is a way to get the current prices for Paper Pumpkin and save money going forward.  Prepaid codes–both redeemed and unredeemed–purchased before the 1 March price change will maintain their full value. No additional payment will be required.

    So here's my suggestion for you:

    Purchase a pre-paid subscription in February for 3 month, 6 months, or 12 months and get it at the current lower price for that entire time period! Go here to order yours.

    Here's the pricing through February:

    Plus with a pre-paid subscription you can earn free Sale-a-Bration choices at the same time.  It's a WIN WIN choice! 

    And besides the free Sale-a-Bration choice you'll also receive free gifts (Gingham embossing folder & a calendar kit!) from me with your online order in February. See details below. 

    Watch this short video to see what is included in each kit:

    Top reasons to get our Paper Pumpkin kits:

    1. You are in full control over which kits you receive. You can skip a month at any time! 
    2. There are videos for each month's kit!  See them all here. 
    3. You'll get over 10 bonus/alternative projects from me each month!
    4. Each kit comes with an ink spot & a stamp set. 
    5. The kits are all inclusive; nothing else is needed to create the projects but a scissors. 
    6. There are FB groups where people share alternative projects each month. 
    7. The kits are perfect for quick projects with no prep or extra work. 
    8. It's a fun surprise each month!  But they share hints before the kit mails too!

    Here's the bonus project I created with the Hugs & Kisses February kit.  It's so fun to use the elements in the kit to create something fun & different!

  • Great silhouette cards with Simply Marbelous DSP with Honeybee Home bundle


    I saw a group of cards made by France Labrecque and I just had to make some.  Look!

    I changed them up a bit but kept the same premise of a die-cut circle with these gorgeous Honeybee Blooms dies in silhouette.  I added a bit of color on the White layer before texturing them.  The card above features the Gingham embossing folder.

    Here are the 6 cards I made; one with each color of Designer Paper in the Simply Marbelous DSP pack.  This beautiful paper is FREE through February, 2022 with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.  See it here. 

    I cannot decide which color is my favorite but I lean towards the yellow or blue. 

    The embossing folder on the card above is called Macrame; it's in the 2022 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog or seen here. 

    For each card I used one of the greetings in the Honeybee Home stamp set which is part of the Honeybee Home bundle seen here.  The greeting dies are from the Ornate Frames dies in the Annual catalog seen here.  

    This incredible Simply Marbelous 6 X 6" DSP is still available; if you want it I'd get it now while they still have a supply.  It's always possible it could run out before the end of February. 

    One neat thing about this pretty designer paper is each sheet has a softer, less distinct pattern and this beautiful swirly pattern. And each color is a combination of light & dark hues so it works with many, many shades of each color!  

    Which is your favorite?  

    Here's the video!  Click on the picture below to watch it. These cards are the 3rd project I share.
