The intended projects are always fun, but I love to find different ways to use the kits and show their versatility. With a simple score line, it's easy to convert this cardbase into an easel card using just supplies from the kit. It a

This year, I'm trying to make Christmas and holiday cards gradually--a few every month--so that there's time enjoy the process and play with different ideas. The first 2 cards use products that are available during Sale-a-bration, but today is the last day! They'll still be available tomorrow, but they won't be free anymore! As always, links to the supply lists can be found at the end of the post. This card uses one of the Sweet Songbirds. It was stamped with Poppy Parade in

I created that card last year as a Paper Pumpkin alternative, so it's based on the cardbase that came with the kit. This time, my card is in landscape orientation to allow even more movement. The card even makes its own sound effects because the paper makes a scraping noise! Measurements -Crumb Cake cardstock 11” (W) x 4-1/4” (H), scored at 5-1/2" along the long side. You'll then be

Welcome to the February 2023 Technique Squad Blog Hop! I’m excited to be a part of this collaboration with fellow Stampin' Up Demonstrators because it’s a chance to explore new techniques and have fun experimenting. This month, we’re making a window pop-out card, which is a fun way of carrying the image from the outside of the card to the inside.

Kits include an exclusive stamp set, a mini ink cube, embellishments, and adhesives. Because I mostly make alternatives from my kits, I usually end up with extra die cuts and cardbases, so I have a few more ideas to share . As of today, refills for the kit are still available.
