In today's project I'm sharing a fun camera-themed gift box with a special surprise inside! When you open the box, there's an accordian fold insert designed to hold photos, making it the perfect little memory keepsake or gift for someone special. This project is great for displaying favorite pictures and turning them into a handmade gift that's both creative and meaningful. Whether you're making it for a birthday, family memories, or of your pet, this camera box is such a uni

This cute little box is perfect for holding some sweet treats. Remember those Life Saver boxes we use to get as a kid? That is what it remindes me of. I used the Made With Sweetness Stamp set and Sticker sheet. I used the postage stamp die to make a focal point, and for the sentiment I used the Banner Sayings Bundle. The DSP is Made With Sweetness and I love the sweet daisies on this pattern. Crushed Curry 10-1/16" x 4-1/4" 1. Score on the 10-1/16" side @ 1/2", 1", 2-1/2", 3"

I love this new Made With Sweetness Bundle. It has the perfect words for scrapbooking, but here I showed how it can be used for cardmaking also. The cute little extra stamps are perfect for background stamping also. It coordinates with Filled With Sweetness Bundle, which is perfect for #garden, #canning, #recipes, and more. Try them together. The cute sticker sheet made for scrapbooking was used in this card also. https://youtube.com/shorts/JaMT0G85_SI

This card sketch is #3 in my series. This card sketch can be transformed by adding a base that is 5" x 3-3/4". You can also use cardstock in place of the Designer paper. For this card I turned it into a Birthday card using Easter Joy Designer paper. I love the shine on this paper. I used a Lost Lagoon cord under the sentiment to add a little texture. Give this easy sketch a try, and have fun with it! https://youtu.be/hJXYBZf1UcY 1. Base- 8-1/2" x 5-1/2". Score at 4-1/4" 2. 3

Today on Motivation Monday, I showed a card sketch that can easily be adapted to create any theme that you need. This card features Nature's Symphony Bundle. The sprigs in this Bundle steal the show, and create a great focal point. Surprisingly the DSP on this card is the flip side of Easter Joy. Who would have thought that Easter paper could be transformed to make this neutral earthy card. https://youtu.be/hJXYBZf1UcY 1.Base- 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Score at 4-1/4" 2. Early Espresso

These fun cards use the same card sketch and the same Specialty paper. I used both sides to get two very different looks.

I used the pleated card technique with our new Product of the Month Painted Illusions Designer Paper . I added a little dimention with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder , to create a textured background and the bold leaves on the front, provide a landing spot for my sentiment. A "thank you so much" sentiment keeps it clean and heartfelt. I hope you enjoy this technique. Tip: Flip it the other way to look like a curtain, or use the left over piece to create another fun element

Today's project is all about sharing a little luck and a lot of smiles. With St. Patrick's Day right around the corner, I couldn't resist creating a Happy St. Patty's card that feels fresh, cheerful, and uplifting. The focal point of this card is a jar filled with shamrocks, symbolizing luck, abundance, and blessings waiting to be shared. I love how the jar gives the feeling of collecting all the good things and passing them along to someone special. The rich green color pal

This is a great versatile project, that can be made into a notebook holder, a gift card holder, or a snack pouch. Want to change up the occasion? Change up the paper to accomodate. I bought cute little Dollar Store notebooks to fill the treats below. These are great for gifting!

Today on Motivation Monday, I shared a fun and interactive pop-up card using the Unbridled Beauty by Stampin' Up! This card features a playful fun fold that has a pop up element, to surprise the recipient, making it extra special from the moment it's opened. On the front, a beautiful horse takes center stage along with the sentiment "it's all about the journey, " which feels perfect for this design. I love the wow factor on this one, and it's so much fun to make. Give it a a

Today I'm sharing a card that has a little western charm and a lot of texture! This project was created using the Unbridled Beauty stamp set from Stampin' Up! and features rich details that give it an aged, time-worn look. To add depth and character , I ran the cardstock pieces through a wood-grain embossing folder, then lightly distressed the edges to soften everything and create that"old barn wood" feel. The texture really brings the design to life and pairs perfectly with

Treat Holder with a Sweet Surprise! Our final project is a treat holder designed to hold a Little Debbie Valentine gingerbread man. It's cute, quick to make, and perfect for spreading a little joy. While it leans into the Valentine holiday, this style or treat holder works for so many occasions. Just change the paper, and treat to make it work for you!!

Card Sketch Inspiration! Earlier this week, I shared a card sketch, and today we're bringing it to life! Sketches are one of my favorite ways to jump start creativity, because they give you structure while still allowing you to make it your own. For this card, we kept it simple with a friendly "hello" sentiment. Perfect for everyday card sending. While it's not specifically a Valentine card, those pink tones definitely give it that loving vibe if you want to use it that way.

Fun Fold with a Gift Card Surprise! Today I made a fun-fold for you, and who doesn't love a card, that doubles as a gift!! I turned this one into a Birthday Card, proving once again how versatile these colors and designs can be. Swap the sentiment, and you've got a card for Valentine's Day, a celebration, or just because! YouTube Tutorial: https://youtu.be/vJzvIq4Touc 1. Base- Real Red- 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" 2. DSP- 5-1/4" x 4".

On the card today, I used two of the coordinating patterns of DSP from the Products of the Month. I then added a beautiful focal image on the front, using sprigs from Nature's Symphony Dies, and Pretty Florals Dies. The little bit of twine peeking out, gives it a little interest, and the cute Hues of Blue embellishments are just the right touch. I used a die-cut to set the sentiment. (I love the elegant font on this one! ) Elegant, easy, an very duplicatabale! Give it a try!.

I used the December and January Products of the Month. The mixture of December True Blue Floral Designer Paper coordinates perfectly with the January Product of the Month sentiment, in Fabulous Sayings. Finishing with pretty floral accents popped up on the front in crisp white, and navy blue for a classic elegant look. I created this projects along with 2 more that coordinate in my Motivation Monday on FB. https://youtube.com/shorts/W8V0IGqHkBs 1. White- 8-1/2" x 5-1/2". Scor

This card is full of layers! For this card I used one of my most favorite products, MASKS! I LOVE using them, because it makes your coloring look perfect every time! This flower makes such a bold statement, that I didn't even need to put a sentiment on this one. The backgound embossing folder adds texture, and the ink blending adds even more color. The beautiful DSP coordinates, and the bow just tops it off! The Thankful Garden set is on Last Chance, so supplies are limited.

There's something special about a fun fold card, and this Valentine version might be one of my favorites! From the moment you open it, this design surprises you with beautiful layers, sweet heart details, and that WOW factor we all love to give (and receive). One of the things I love most about this fun fold is how it allows different patterns to shine while still feeling cohesive. The layers add interest and dimension, and the heart elements tie everything together beautiful

Today I worked with the Gears & Texture Bundle by Stampin' Up! I always like making my ephemera first. Want to see how I made the gears? Check out this video: https://youtu.be/zdfp_KtlNsE I know that sometimes, it is hard to make masculine cards. I love the grunge, and texture that this stamp set has. It is perfect for background stamping! I tore the edges, of the Designer Paper. This is a great Mix-In paper pack, and I used my blending tool to highlight the edges. I used Gal
