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!

  • Extra special Gift Card idea with a pop up ‘gift bag’ inside the card!


    Here's another gift card idea for you.  It looks harder than it is; honestly! It's a 'gift bag' inside the card! 


    Here's the front view:  I used the angled Heartwarming Hugs designer paper piece I cut off from this card I shared yesterday.  I love it when I can use my paper efficiently! 

    I kept the front very simple as you can see.  The greetings are from the Encircled in Warmth stamp set seen here.

    I even added 'tissue' using the Ever Eden cotton paper!  It's a 6" piece I folded into points. 


    I used our Real Red sheer ribbon on the front for both the bow and the 'handles' inside the bag. Below is a photo of the gift bag cut out.  Measurements are included. 

    Pop-up Gift Bag card measurements:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11"
    • White – two at 4" X 5 1/4"
    • DSP 4” X 5 ¼” cut one section off diagonally
    • Purse 4” X 9 ½” scored on the 4” side at ½” & 3”, scored on the long side at ½”, 1”, 4 ½”, 5”, 5 ½” & 9”


    Below is the video for 3 different gift card options.  I'll share details on one more unique card tomorrow.

  • Need Gift card ideas? I have three!


    Last week I created 3 different gift card options on Facebook Live.  You can see it here.

    I'm sharing the first one today: 

    I used the Heartwarming Hugs designer paper seen here) and the Encircled in Warmth & Christmas Season bundle. 

    It's made from a 5 1/4" X 12" piece of designer paper; score it every 4".  Trim off one angle for the pocket and adhere it to a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base.  

    Inside I added a 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" piece of White CS that I textured with the Star-Crossed embossing folder. I decorated the front & inside with stamped & die-cut images from the Christmas Season bundle seen here. 

    Depending on how you decorate this card it can be quite easy to make!  Below is the video for this one & 2 more gift card options.  I'll share details on another tomorrow.

    My team member Bobby sent me this amazing card last week.  I was seriously blown away!  She is super talented!!

    She used the Sunflower dies to create a medallion for the main greeting.  I never knew it would double as a medallion; I love it so much!

    Her background is created by adhering strips of the Ever Eden specialty designer paper (seen here) to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Evening Evergreen card stock.  This paper will be discontinued in early January; it's available only while supplies last. Notice the pretty gems; these are called Garden gems and can be seen here.  I'm surprised they're not sold out; they are gorgeous and a terrific value. They are also while supplies last. 

    She die-cut two 'sunflowers' from Gold foil & Evening Evergreen card stock and adhered them together, offsetting them a bit. She used the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set for the main greeting, embossed in Gold embossing powder.

    Why did she send me a Congratulations card?  Well I had a wonderful year as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!  I achieved top levels for Leadership, Team Building and Sales!  I'm most excited to achieve #29 overall in the United States.  Woo hoo!!!

    Thank you all for your support & encouragement.  Whether you've watched videos, ordered from me, are a Flowerbug Team Member, or follow my FB page or blog I appreciate YOU so much!  This hobby turned business has enriched mine and my families lives. I truly love what I do and YOU are the reason!
