Happy Monday everyone. I hope you had a glorious weekend. Today I am excited to share with you a fun gift bag that I created using one piece of 12 x 12 designer series paper. Plus you can use the left over strip to create 6 beautiful cards. I will be sharing with you 4 cards that I created with my left over strip. I want to give a shout out to Julie Dimiatteo at the Paper Pixie for her great tips on how to get perfectly even handles!
Here is a look at two of the bags I created:
Gift Bag Measurements:
Choose a 12 x 12 piece of designer series paper for your bag and matching cards. Cut your DSP to be 8-1/4 x 12 making sure your directional design is along the 12″ side.
Cut strip of 3-3/4 x 12 DSP into six 2″ strips to create your six matching cards.
Score on the 12″ side at 4-1/2, 5-3/4, 10-1/4, and 11-1/2. Rotate your DSP and score at 1-1/4 for the bottom and at 1″ for the top. See video on how to make cuts and fold bag and create the prefect ribbon handles.
Here is a closer look at the cards created from the 3- 3/4
These bags are so much fun and I love Julie’s tip on how to create the perfect handle every time. I had a blast created so many of these bags for this year’s Mother’s Day. Although my mom is no longer with me, I had a good time creating them for some very special moms! Thank the Lord for He is good and always placing the right people in our lives at the right time. Let us rejoice and give thanks for all moms and grandma’s this week. After all, Mother’s Day is not just one day of celebration, it is a lifetime of love. Stop back on Wednesday for another video tutorial. Happy Stamping!

Have fun filling this sweet jar for any occasion. There are so many options that I am sure this bundle will be a great addition to your stamping stash. It also make a great tag, especially for those summertime birthdays. The Homemade Sweetness paper pack is so stinkin’ cute. I am going to have to add that to my next order.
Thanks so much for joining me. Be sure to check out the new May- August catalog. There is something for everyone. Have a blessed week and Happy Stamping!

Hey all there is still time for you to grab the April product of the month. I think you will love this beautiful die. I have a feeling this amazing die will be great for creating all kinds of card. I can see using it for wedding cards , mother’s day cards, and yes, even Christmas cards. I think this die would be gorgeous cropped from some of the glitter paper for Christmas. Pair it with the Words and Wishes set, coming May 5th and you will have a spectacular card creation.
As a reminder all product of the month items are while supplies last. Yes, this amazing die is still available so if you haven’t grabbed yours yet, I highly encourage you to do that before they are gone.
$5 with a $75 online purchase!
A closer look at today’s projects!
Sorry in the video I think I mentioned that this card was a birthday card. My bad, it is a super fun baby card. A shout out of thanks to fellow demonstrator, Rebecca for sharing this design. I copied it from the Stampin’ Up! website and only tweaked it a tiny bit. Rebecca had an image on the onesie that she embossed with white embossing powder. It looked great, but I was too lazy for that. LOL
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a fantastic weekend. Today I am sharing with you several cards that I created using the Forever Floral Bundle. The project sheet will have all the measurements for the first three cards but in the video I have a bonus card for you. Just follow the same instructions for card #1 to make the final card.
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!

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.
