Create Stunning Christmas Cards with This Surprising Technique

 Hi Friends!

Let’s add some holiday cheer with a handmade Christmas card that’s just as fun to make as it is to give! During my latest live stamping demonstration, I featured this bold and beautiful “Merry Christmas” card using the Jolly Holly Hybrid bundle, Party Alphabet dies, and the Season of Green & Gold Specialty Paper (now retired).

At first glance, this festive card looks simple, but don’t be fooled—there’s a sneaky little technique hiding in there that makes it extra special! I’ll walk you through exactly how to create this look during the video tutorial, and we’ll even kick things up a notch by making a second version using a jaw-dropping new paper that’s coming in the September–December Mini Catalogue. Oh my goodness, it is SO good—you’re going to want it all!

I love how the large die-cut “M” and “C” create the perfect canvas for the greenery and shimmer from the Season of Green & Gold paper to shine. Layering them over a holly-embossed background gives the card texture and depth, while those stitched sentiment blocks bring everything together with a polished finish.

If you want a Christmas card that’s fresh, fun, and fabulously festive, this one’s for you. Whether you're crafting for friends, family, or your own card stash, this is a holiday design you’ll come back to again and again.

Watch the full live replay below for the complete step-by-step tutorial, including supply list and measurements!

Create a Stunning Holiday Card with the Jolly Holly Hybrid Bundle

 Hi Friends!

Ready to dive into holiday cardmaking? In this live stamping demonstration, I featured this card made with the Jolly Holly hybrid bundle—and let me tell you, this one was so fun to create!

The Jolly Holly bundle includes a coordinating die and embossing folder that can be used at the same time, making it super easy to get beautiful texture and dimension with one run through your machine. The sample card I shared in the photo uses the soft, wintery Cloud Cover colour, but during the live I mixed things up with a bold, beautiful colour combination that really brought this bundle to life in a whole new way.

If you haven’t played with a hybrid bundle before, you’ll love how easy it is to make a wow-worthy card. Whether you’re crafting for the holidays or just love that classic holly look, this set is a must-have for your collection.

Watch the full video below for the step-by-step tutorial, along with tips on using the hybrid technique, and see how a simple switch in colour can completely change the feel of your card!

Unlock the Charm: Craft Stunning Gate Fold Cards with Floral Designer Papers

 Hi Friends!

This card is full of delightful little details and a clever twist on a classic fold. I created it using the Charming Day bundle along with the Floral Charm designer paper, and the soft tones and sweet imagery came together so beautifully.

The card is designed in a book binding gate fold style, which gives it a unique opening and an extra touch of dimension. It’s such a fun fold to create—and even more fun to open! The panel on the left stays firmly in place while the right side opens up like a gate, making it a perfect backdrop to highlight both the stamped elements and the gorgeous designer paper.

The stamped floral image from Charming Day on the inside, is lightly colored to complement the subtle patterns in the Floral Charm paper, letting everything feel soft and harmonious. This is a card that works for just about any occasion, whether you're sending love, encouragement, or a simple hello.

If you missed the live demonstration, I’ve linked the video tutorial below. You’ll find step-by-step instructions along with the measurements and supplies so you can recreate this charming fold with your own twist. I think you’ll love how easy it is to make something that looks so special.

Unleash Your Creativity: Discover the Latest Scrapbook Layouts in Our September Catalogue

 Hi Friends!

During my recent live demonstration, I shared the second two-page layout from the Peaceful Days Scrapbooking Workshop Kit, which will be available in the upcoming September Mini Catalogue. These pages were a joy to create and will give me the perfect chance to highlight some treasured photos.

This kit is full of soft florals, leafy elements, and nature-inspired tones that work beautifully for outdoor adventures, cozy getaways, and moments you want to remember forever. I love how easily the elements in this kit come together to create layered, detailed scrapbook pages that feel both elegant and heartfelt.

In this layout, the pictures are not mine, but the artist focused on coordinating colors and thoughtful placement to let the photos shine while still enjoying some creative play with embellishments and paper layers. The Peaceful Days collection is incredibly versatile, and I know it will be a go-to for so many memory keeping projects in the months ahead.

If you missed the live video, you can watch the replay below. I walk through the full creative process and share tips and tricks for getting the most from your kit. Whether you’re just starting out with scrapbooking or looking for layout inspiration with the new Mini Catalogue products, this project is a great one to revisit.

Rolling Into Fall with Tractor & Co: A Rustic Autumn Card You’ll Love

Hi Friends!

There’s something about fall that brings out the cozy in all of us—warm colors, crisp air, and everything pumpkin! I had so much fun bringing those autumn vibes into this card using the Tractor & Co bundle. This project was inspired by our grandson’s second tractor, and I have to say—it turned out just as fun and full of charm as the first.

In this card, I built a rustic farm scene complete with a barn, rolling hills, and a little tractor ready to harvest those pumpkins and corn. The backdrop really makes the whole card come alive, and it’s such a great layout for seasonal birthdays or just sending a happy hello with some country flair. The Tractor & Co dies make layering and dimension easy, and I love how the finished card feels like a full little story in paper form.

During my YouTube video tutorial, I walked through the steps to create this card, from the easy background to the textured details that give it that cozy fall feeling. You’ll find tips on assembling the scene, choosing your colors, and making that tractor pop. Whether you’re a beginner or have been crafting for years, this project is so fun to make and full of possibilities.

If you haven’t seen the first card in this series, you’ll want to check that one out too—it features a different color scheme and layout, but it still has all the charming Tractor & Co vibes. I love how versatile this bundle is and how easy it is to tailor your card for any occasion.

CLICK HERE for that video.

You can catch the full step-by-step tutorial below. I was live in the chat during the premiere and had so much fun hanging out and chatting with everyone. If you missed it live, you can still watch the replay anytime and craft along.

Stay tuned—more fall inspiration is coming soon.

Create Unique Birthday Cards with the 'Tractor & Co. Bundle'!

 Hi Friends!

If you love rustic charm and country scenes, you’re going to adore today’s card project! I featured this cheerful farm-inspired birthday card during my latest YouTube Premiere, and it’s all built around the oh-so-cute Tractor & Co. bundle from Stampin’ Up!

This card was inspired by our oldest grandson, who works on a haying and beef cattle farm. One of the tractors he uses is red—just like the one I featured on the front of this card. I knew the moment I saw this bundle that it would be perfect for creating down-home, heartfelt cards like this one.

There’s so much to love about the details in this design: the sky in the background, the layers of die-cut hay bales, that adorable chicken, and a cornstalk-stamped envelope to finish it all off. It’s a fun and easy layout that lets the scene come to life while still being totally do-able for crafters at any level.

If you’ve got a country-loving friend, a farmer in the family, or you just love a good red tractor moment, this is a great card to try out. And make sure to tune in again Thursday evening—I’ll be sharing a second version of this card featuring a white tractor!

You’ll find the full video tutorial, including all the supplies and steps, linked below. I’d love to hear what you think of this bundle—drop a comment if you’re feeling the farm life too!

A Stunning Twist: Fault Line Technique with Gallery Blooms

Hi Friends!

While we’re away this week, I still have something beautiful to share with you—a striking birthday card created with the Gallery Blooms bundle using the eye-catching Fault Line technique. This design is all about bold contrast and letting the gorgeous textures and colors shine through a dramatic torn-paper effect.

The background has been lightly embossed to add subtle texture, while that vivid pink and gold marbled paper peeks through the “fault line” across the front of the card. I added detailed peony blooms from the Gallery Blooms bundle for a strong focal point, giving the whole card a rich, layered feel. A simple “Happy Birthday” sentiment finishes it off perfectly.

This card was part of a special online Team event back in May, and I’m excited to share the tutorial with you! If you’ve never tried the fault line technique before, this is your chance to see just how fun and effective it can be. Whether you’re a seasoned cardmaker or just starting out, I think you’ll love the creative possibilities it offers.

You’ll find the full video tutorial below, along with tips and a closer look at how it all came together. Be sure to bookmark this one—it’s a real showstopper.

Don't Miss This One - Peace On Earth Fun Fold Card with the Peaceful Garden Suite

Hi Friends!

This week’s live stamping demonstrations featured cards using the brand-new Peace On Earth bundle—and this one’s a fun fold! I went live on Wednesday to share how to make this beautiful project, which highlights not only the Peace On Earth bundle but also several coordinating products from the upcoming Peaceful Garden suite in the Stampin’ Up! September Mini Catalogue.

This Flip Flap fun fold has a simple base but delivers a real wow factor when opened. It’s the perfect way to showcase those elegant dies and peaceful sentiments that make this suite so special. I used the same soft colour palette as the previous Peace On Earth card—think tranquil blues and soft neutrals—for a soothing and timeless winter look.

If you're looking for holiday card ideas that are both peaceful and polished, this one’s a keeper. The Peaceful Garden suite is packed with potential, and I can’t wait for you to get your hands on it when it launches in September.

Scroll down to watch the full video tutorial. You’ll find step-by-step instructions, measurements, and all the supplies I used. Whether you're making one card or prepping for a stack of holiday greetings, this is a design you’ll want to come back to.

Thanks for joining me in the craft room—see you next time with more inspiration and creative play.

Create a Quick and Elegant Christmas Card with the Peace On Earth Bundle and the 3-3-3 Technique

Hi Friends!

If you're looking for a fast, fabulous, and festive holiday card idea, you're going to love this one! In my latest live demonstration, I shared a card created with the brand new Peace On Earth bundle from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! September–December Mini Catalogue. This bundle is filled with timeless holiday elements and beautiful sentiments that make cardmaking a breeze.

The card I created uses the 3-3-3 technique—one of my favorite go-to tricks for designing layouts. I’ll explain what that means in the video below, but here’s the sneak peek: it involves three strips of designer series paper, three embellishments, and three core design components. It’s a simple formula that takes the guesswork out of card design, and it works with just about any theme or bundle.

For this project, I chose soft neutral tones paired with shimmer and shine to give the card a peaceful and elegant holiday feel. The focal point is a beautiful die-cut dove, which practically floats off the card. If you're planning your Christmas cards and want something easy to recreate that still has that wow factor, this is a great place to start.

I walk through every step in the video below and share tips along the way for using the dies, layering elements, and getting the most from this beautiful new bundle.

Hi Friends!

There’s something extra sweet about opening a fresh Paper Pumpkin box, and the July kit Sweeter With You truly lives up to its name. During my live demonstration, we dove into this adorable kit together and created four alternative cards that stretch the creativity packed into that little orange box.

This kit features charming imagery, soft summer colours, and playful elements that are perfect for sending joy and kindness. I added just a few extra touches from my stash—and brought in the Circle of Season Dies to elevate the designs even more. Whether you're crafting with friends or enjoying some peaceful solo time, this kit offers tons of flexibility and inspiration.

If you missed the live or just want to watch it again for tips, techniques, or ideas to spark your next Paper Pumpkin project, you’ll find the full video tutorial linked at the bottom of this post. Grab your kit, your trimmer, and your creativity—we’re going to have fun!

Unexpected Fun Fold Card with Notes & Totes Bundle – A WOW Moment You’ll Love

Hi Friends!

Need a gift card holder that’s as fun and fabulous as the gift inside? I’ve got you covered! In my latest live demonstration, I featured a charming and practical fun fold project using the brand new Notes & Totes bundle paired with the bright and cheerful Celebratory Sips designer series paper. This handmade gift card holder is perfect for birthdays, thank you gifts, or anytime you want to make a little surprise feel extra special.

I had so much fun designing this card, and I think you’re going to love how easy it is to create. The Notes & Totes bundle is packed with adorable stamped images and coordinating dies that make everything look polished and professional, without adding too much extra effort. Paired with the bold, celebratory patterns in the designer paper, the finished project is sure to make someone smile.

The best part? This fun fold design is simple enough for beginners but interesting enough to impress your card-making friends. It folds up neatly to hold a standard-sized gift card, with plenty of space for you to write your message or tuck in a little note. Whether you're prepping for a birthday party, teacher thank-you, or just need a stash of grab-and-go gifts, this one is a winner.

You can catch the full video tutorial at the link below, where I walk you through every step and share my go-to tips for making it come together smoothly. All the measurements and supplies are included in the video, so feel free to stamp along with me or save it for later inspiration.
