Box of Creative Love & Thanks for Stampin' Up!

Back in December, I was fortunate to be the representative of the 2025 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team to deliver a "Box of Creative Love & Thanks" to some of the people that we work with throughout the year at the home office.  Our Artisan Team sent me their creative projects from around the world to put together in a fun gift box.  And since I live in the same state as the home office - with the help of a friend that works there - I was able to deliver this fun surprise in person! We even did a Zoom call with whatever Artisans could zoom in! So grateful for all the hard work of these fabulous Stampin' Up! employees and the fabulous 2025 Artisan Design Team! 

Now on to this fabulous box ...

And look at the fun that was had at the home office:

So grateful for this fun experience to end an INCREDIBLE Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team year.  

Let me know if you have any questions on anything!  Would love to help you with all your paper crafting needs! 

Making It Masculine With Gears & Textures Bundle and the Piccadilli Players!

 ☆☆☆ INSTAGRAM HOP ALERT! ☆☆☆ 

The Piccadilli Players are at it again ... this time we are MAKING IT MASCULINE!  We are hopping over on Instagram sharing all sorts of fun masculine inspiration.  I am sure we all have important men in our life that still love to receive cards!  So this one is for them! 

I used the Gears & Textures bundle from Stampin’ Up! to create some fun layers and details for this manly card.  And those stamps and dies were so much fun to use!

One of my fave touches are the gears. I cut them out using the Lunar Lustre paper and then added some silver embossing powder on parts of it. I LOVE the texture this creates. And the powder looks like metal bubbling when you heat it! Bonus! 

One last little tip ... I love the fun texture down the sides of the card base.  So wanted to show how I did that ... 

This die is in the Gears & Textures Bundle.  I just cut it out 6 times ... AFTER adding Adhesive Sheets to the Misty Moonlight Cardstock!!! ... and then peeled off the paper backing of the adhesive sheet and stuck it down.  Easy peasy!  Then added the card front to the card base and voila!  A bit of fun texture down the sides of the card: 

Shout out to @stampinup for creating such fun products to play with! 

We have lots more manly inspiration for you today! The best place to view is on Instagram!  So I have included everyone's handles that are participating in this hop!  Go check them out!  You won't regret it!

Make A Wish ... To Catch Up!

So ... GEEZ!  Where is the year going?!  It is FLYING by, that's for sure.  And ... I am now hoping to get MAJOR caught up!  See - I broke my foot back in December.  But I walked on it for a few weeks before I knew.  Then was on crutches for a few months which made EVERYTHING more difficult.  And now ... I am walking in a boot and so happy!  Haha.  This - I can handle.  So it is about time I get caught up on ALLLLL the things I have had hanging out ready to get posted for MONTHS!  First up ... a card made with the Cake Days Bundle!  Love these candle dies! 

A celebratory mix of stamps and dies - and look at that frosting made into a "scalloped" border - to make a fun birthday card!  Add in a mix of hand drawn stitching (LOVE the Black Stampin' Journaling Pens for things like this!) and some other accents to really send it over the top!  

I hope you enjoy this card!  Thanks for visiting! Please let me know if you have any questions!  Would love to help you with all your stampin' needs!

Watercolor Bloom Paper Pumpkin Meets Iridescent Treat Bags!

Have another fun alternative using the December 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin' Up!  I used pieces from the kit, the add-on dies + a few bits from the regular catalog/online offering from Stampin' Up! to make a fun mini album!  Shout out again to the FABULOUS Iridescent Treat Bags that literally steal my heart every time I use them.  And I have used them a LOT! 😃 

Also ... at the end of this post - I have a "map" of all the pieces I used to put the album together!  So let's get into it ... 

To make the album, you stack the envelopes together, alternating the open end.  Then fold in half.  That creates the little pockets to put in more pages.  Use as many envelopes as you want to create as many pages as you want! 

Enjoy the photos below that flip you through the album and pull out the pages! 

The back of the album I also added another oval and some more journaling.  Guess I forgot to get a photo of that.  Haha.  But here is the map for the pieces of the album: 

I hope you enjoy!  Please let me know if you have any questions! Would be happy to help!
