Hey all today I am bringing you two alternative cards for the March 2026 Paper Pumpkin. If you are already a subscriber than you know how wonderful it is to get a crafty kit delivered to your door each month. These sets are way to fun to store away after you have completed the kit cards. So today’s challenge is to use the stamps from this or any of your past Paper Pumpkin kits to create alternative card.
Not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, no problem, just click here to sign up and you will be crafting in no time.
Happy Monday all. I do hope you had a fabulous weekend. I recently met a few friends for a few days of stamping/scrapbooking. It was so much fun. It is always so much better to craft with friends. I borrowed the Filled with Sweetness from one of my stamping friends so I do hope you enjoy today’s creations.
This was a fun set to play with and if I did not already have so many berry sets, I would add it to my wish list. I loved how big the jam jar stamp was and so I created a tag instead of a card!
Have fun creating these sweet summertime cards! This bundle has been very popular is currently on backorder, so if you want to add this precious set to your stamping stash, it will be available the week of April 27th. Happy Stamping!
Thanks for stopping by! Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Hello my stamping friends. I wanted to pop on real quick with a video that features some of the products on our Last Chance list. This is not my typical card making video but many of the bundles featured on our Last Chance list have been reduced. I thought it was important to jump on and let you know that you get more bang for your buck when you order the stamps and dies or punches separately, and not as a bundle. This is typically not the case but it is true some of the products that have been significantly reduced. I hope this video helps you to save a few dollars here and there.
If you want any of the featured sale items or for any of your stamping needs and you don’t already have a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I would be happy to serve you. Just click hereor on the Shop with Me button at the end of this post.

Happy Wednesday everyone. Sorry but due to technical difficulties, there will be no video today, but I am happy to share with you a super simple card that I created using some Basic White cardstock, our scoring tool, the dotted circle embossing folder and some dies from the Petals of Beauty bundle. I hope you enjoy this fun card and I hope to be back next week with more stamping inspirational videos!
I used the simply scoring tool to create lines around my first Basic White panel 4 x 5-1/4. I then used the Dotted Circles embossing folder to emboss another Basic White panel, 2-1/2 x 3-1/2, mounted in on a Basic White panel, 2-3/4 x 3-3/4 and then to my scored white panel. Do you sense a theme here? Yes, I was going to go totally white and then I decided to add a bit of Night of Navy. The leaf image is from Petals of Beauty and I added a splash of Cherry Cobbler flowers, which are from the Springtime Scenes dies.
Yes, I fussy cut my stamped greeting from Friendly Foliage and added it to the card front. Just add bling of your choice. I chose the Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots. Next week I hope to bring you more white on white inspiration. I really love this look for the spring and honestly sometimes the simplicity of Basic White gets overlooked.
Join me next week for more card inspirations, hopefully a video on Monday and Wednesday. Happy Stamping!

Happy Easter Monday! I pray that our Risen Lord will bless you abundantly during this Easter Season. I thought it would be fun to go through my springtime DSP scraps to create a few fun cards for you. So dig out your leftover scraps and create something beautiful with me today.
Did you know that when you cut a 12 x 12 piece of DSP into six card fronts measuring 4 x 5 1/4 that you will have a strip of 1 1/2 x 12 left over? Fun, right? Well, when that happens, don’t throw them away or cut them down because today I am going to show you how to use them to create a strip paper piecing card. Check out the video below that explains how this technique works.
Good morning my stamping friends, I hope you are having a great week. I am excited to share with you 4 cards that I created from one sheet of 6 x 6 DSP. I am using the Floral Charm DSP which is actually a 12 x 12 paper pack, so you can just cut that down to be a 6 x 6 sheet. You will get four 6 x 6 sheets from just one of these papers, so technically you could create 16 cards from this one sheet of paper.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card and will give this template a try. Enjoy the rest of you week and be sure to stop back next week for more crafting inspiration. Happy Stamping!

Happy Monday everyone. Easter is just around the corner and today I have a super sweet Easter Treat box that I created using the Easter Joy designer series paper pack. This pack is still available but is on the low inventory list, so hurry and get yours today. Order soon so it will arrive before Easter.
Today I have created just one box using a 4 x 6 piece of designer series paper, but I have included the scoring instructions on how you can score one piece of 12 x 12 patterned paper and create 6 fun treat boxes. Be sure to watch the video and download your free project sheet with detailed instructions.
Here is a closer look at our treat box!
This box can be created using the pattern paper of your choice making it great for not only Easter, but birthdays and holiday stocking stuffers. Yes, I know it is only March, but if you are in my craft room it is never to early to start creating Christmas crafts. LOL
Have fun creating these stinkin’ cute boxes. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to me! Just put blog project question in the subject line so I am sure to see it. Happy Stamping!

Hey friends, I am excited to share with you the March product of the month, Notes of Spring. If you don’t have this cute little set, you still have time to place a $75 order before the end of the month. I am sure you will love playing with these sweet little characters. They make great spring and Easter cards!
It is really hard to pick a favorite, but I think I am partial to the stinkin’ cute duckling. It would make a sweet birthday card for all ages. Have fun creating with this cute set. The sky is the limit!
A Closer Look at today’s cards!
I stamped and cut out my cute little duckling, but that is only because I dropped this little guy when I was stamping on my white panel. Not to worry, there are no mistakes in stamping, only creative opportunities, so I just stamped him again and used my handy dandy paper snips to cut him out. Whala, it is fixed! You can just stamp your image directly to the card panel, or stamp and crop him. Either way his is so stinkin’ cute.
I stamped and used my paper snips to crop these little ones on purpose. It was much quicker and easier than masking, but either way will work.
I usually don’t use much of the Sea Foam cardstock, but today, I guess I was in the mood for a little light colored spring. I think it turned out perfectly if I do say so myself. I love the tone on tone look. I did add a but of ink with a sponge dauber to the greeting just for a little darker highlight! Love it~
I hope you have fun playing with this sweet set. If you don’t have it, I would love for you to place a qualifying order with me, just click the Shop with Me button below! Happy Stamping!

Happy Wednesday all. You are half way to the weekend and the weather is looking fantastic. Of course any weather day is a good day for stamping, but sunny and warm is always nice. Today I am sharing with you a few more techniques as we continue with our masking fun.
I do hope these techniques will help you think outside the box when creating your hand-stamped cards. If you don’t have making paper, you can always use printer paper. The key is to use a thin paper so you will not have dramatic lines around your masked images. Stampin’ Up! masking paper just makes everything easier because it is adhesive backed. I love using this, especially when I am using the Blending Brushes…..so much easier!
