Gift and Note Card Holders~Make It Monday#212

Christmas 2025, Designer Series Paper, Fun Fold Cards, Make it Monday Videos /

Happy Monday everyone. Did you know that Christmas is less than 6 months away. With the weather in full sun and humidity here in St. Louis, it is hard to think about Christmas, but today’s video is all about gift and note card holders. I am featuring a LAST CHANCE product, Grow In Love! I am using the envelope die from the bundle to create fun holiday gift and note card holders. They are so sweet, I am sure you are going to love them. Even better, they don’t have to be for the holidays! You can use them for birthday gifts, wedding gifts, Mother and Father’s day gifts or that special thank you gift!

#212 Gift and note card holders

Here is a closer look at theses sweet gift and note card holders!

I hope you enjoy creating these gift and note card holders. Any 6 x 6 designer series paper will work for this project. So if it is too early to start thinking about Christmas, I get it. And if you are like my dear friend, Sr. Bernard and myself, then it is never too early to start crafting for Christmas. It is probably a little early for the countdown, but never for the creating! LOL Happy Stamping!

Triple Stamping~Make It Monday #208

Make it Monday Videos, Stamping Techniques /

If you have never seen this fun technique, you are going to love it. It is super simple and you can use any stamp set to create a unique card that is sure to brighten someones day. I love blessing others with my card creations because you just never know when someone is having a really bad day. Today, I used three different stamp sets, just so you could see that this technique is quite versatile. I used the Beautiful Butterflies, Natural Botanicals, Textured Notes and Elements of Text. I am sure you have a set or two in your stash that would be perfect for this technique, so let’s get stamping!

The simple trick to this technique is making sure all your layers are secured in place before stamping. I used some repositioning tape, but you can use a small glue dot or some temporary tape. It really doesn’t matter what you choose, just as long as your layers are secure before you begin stamping. Be sure to do all your stamping and coloring before you move your layers. This will help keep a consistent look to your finished project.

Don’t forget to click the button below to download your free project sheet with pictures, measurements, and all the supplies needed to create today’s cards.

CLICK HERE for Stampin’ UP’s Video Suite Collections!

A few details:

All available suites and suite products from the 2025–2026 Annual Catalog and Online Exclusives are buy one, get one 50% off.
You don’t have to buy a suite and suite products all from the same suite collection for the discount to apply. You can buy any suite products from any suite.
To maximize your BOGO savings, I suggest you purchase Bundles or Suites together. If you’re buying two Suites, skip adding individual items—like Designer Series Paper from a Suite—separately, as the paper may end up being the item that’s 50% off instead of the higher-priced Suite.

Pro Tip: Since the 50% off will apply to the lowest priced suite items in your order, It may be beneficial to place multiple orders to ensure the 50% off is maximized in each transaction.
The discount will appear in your cart once you’ve added two items within the sale parameters to your cart.
Remember, All products are available only while supplies last.

As always, I appreciate your orders! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Happy Memorial Day!

Make it Monday Videos /

Happy Monday everyone! Today, let us pause from our crafting routine and our Make It Monday videos to honor those who have given their lives in service for our freedom

I think both President Abraham Lincoln and President Ronald Regan remind us of the need to be grateful for the liberties we all enjoy today.

President Abraham Lincoln in his  Gettysburg Address: 
“that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain”.

President Ronald Regan
“Today as we pay solemn tribute to our fallen countrymen we know we can never give them as much as they gave us, but we also know that our generation and succeeding generations can, by keeping the flame of freedom burning brightly, ensure that they did not die in vain. As you pay tribute to these brave Americans, may we always walk in the light of their memory the light of Liberty which shines from age to age and still illumines the way forward.”

Let us also remember and honor our loved ones who, though not fallen soldiers, certainly are fallen heros. May they and all the souls of the faith departed, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace.

God Bless you all and God Bless America!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae
