We all have an occasion to package up some treats, whether they are edible or non-edible pretty packaging is so very easy when you use the Square Pillow Boxes. They are easy to stamp images as well as heat emboss or simply adding some decorative paper or ribbon. Today I am sharing 3 of the boxes with different themes……. and there is a video to go with it!!!

I have taken this opportunity to use another of the Sale-a-bration freebies ~ the Most Adored Decorative Paper Pack along with a couple of punches and a little bit of stampin’!
Continue readingFor the last 4 – 5 years I have designed and enjoyed making my flip over desk calendar for the ladies who come to my classes. As I have done for the last few years I am going to be sharing one at the start of each month. This was designed for a stamp camp in early December 2023, we had such fun making them and my ladies have made me promise to do another for 2026 ……….. already!
Like last year, I recognize not everyone is into making 3D items so have created a card for each month, using elements from the calendar for that month. .
So today I share, Valentine Hearts – just in time for creating those Valentine projects!
Continue readingI do love a fancy/fun fold card ~ so do the ladies who come to my in-person classes. I also like them to be as simple and easy as possible to make while still being impressive! Today’s card relies on the score/folds to achieve both of these 🙂
We also have some techniques going on, two step stamping, die cutting and creating our own decorative paper, there is a video to following along with to show how it all comes together!
Continue readingEach month I take part in a Scrapbook hop, I recognize not everyone is into scrapbooking so I try to take some elements from my layout to create a card to show how Stampin’ UP! products can be used for both card making and scrapbook pages. Check out the original scrapbook page I took the pull out section of the page and created this simple fun-fold card which would be perfect for an anniversary, birthday or valentine’s day.

I have chosen to make an 8 x 6 layout today ~ I am continuing to build up my ‘small’ scrapbook, and have done a double page layout for this months hop. I think the smaller size is just a little different ~ not everyone is into the larger pages and a smaller one is just a bit more manageable.

Continue readingSometimes we see a card that we just love, but we may not have those supplies or it may not be for the occasion we need at that time. In today’s video I have created a card layout using it to create a valentine card for one and a birthday card for the second. I have made sure all the measurements are the same and the same tone-on-tone technique used on both.
Continue readingLast year I shared a video on how to use the Cracker and Treat Box Die, and created one for different holidays. It was such a lot of fun that I decided to make a Valentine version featuring the Country Bouquet Stamp Set and coordinating Country Bouquet Punch to show that a cracker is not just for Christmas!
Continue readingI can hardly believe we are in the last full week of January….. already! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner so it is time to rustle up some cards to share with friends and loved ones.
