After seeing the sketch below over at Sunday Stamps, I decided to give it a try!
I started with a base of Basic Black cardstock and added a layer on top of Whisper White cardstock that was embossed using the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder.Then I cut three strips of Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper (this is a FREESale-a-Bration gift with a $50 purchase) and punched each end using the Banner Triple Punch. Before adhering the Whisper White panel down with Stampin’ Dimensionals ( I used a LOT), I wrapped our Solid Whisper White Baker’s Twine around the card three times and tied a bow.
The sentiment is from the stamp set, Honey Bee, and was stamped in Memento Ink. It was cut out using a 2″ Circle Punch and then adhered to a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock that was cut using the Starburst Punch. The cute little bee is also from the Golden Honey Designer Series Paper (FREE paper) and was cut out with the smaller bee in the Detailed Bee Dies. When you purchase the Honey Bee stamp set and the Detailed Bee Dies together, using the special bundle item number, you’ll save 10%!
To finish the card, I used a Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend to color in the stripes of the bee.
If you’d like to create today’s card, you’ll find the measurements below.

Today’s project is a Valentine’s Day version of a box I made last month. I was able to fit four Ghirardelli Minis (I’m guessing that there’s a Valentine’s Day version of these minis) in the Christmas version and six Dove chocolate hearts will also fit inside!
I don’t have a video for today’s box but the video from last month will show you how to make the box. You can visit that blog post here.
For the base of the box I used Flirty Flamingo cardstock and for the top of the box, From My Heart Designer Series Paper. I wrapped Whisper White Baker’s Twine around the box several times and made a bow. The sentiment was stamped in Real Red ink onto Whisper White cardstock using the stamp set, So Sentimental. I cut it out using the Classic Label Punch but it was a bit longer than I needed so I cut off a little bit on the left side before adding several glue dots on that end and then tucked it under the Baker’s Twine. I added a Red Rhinestone to the right side to finish the box. All the products I used can be found below in the Supply List.
If you make the box, I’d love to hear from you!

I can’t get enough of the floral side of our Best Dressed 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. There are 48 sheets in each package with 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. On one side you’ll find soft florals and on the other, stylish images.
The base of the card is Petal Pink cardstock. This is not a color I normally gravitate to as I like bright colors but I have to admit, it coordinates beautifully with this Designer Series Paper. I also used Old Olive cardstock and Old Olive ink for the sentiment.

I don’t usually post on Saturdays but I wanted to share my Valentine’s Day Matchbox video for the project I posted yesterday.
This matchbox is super easy to make. I used several new products from the Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog and you can see these products in the video below. You’ll find the measurements right below the video as well as a supply list showing all the products I used to create my Valentine’s Day matchbox!
Have a great weekend!
Measurements for the Matchbox
Bottom of Box (Real Red cardstock): 5-1/4″ x 7″ Score at 1″ on all four sides
Top of Box (From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper): 5-1/8″ x 10″ Score at 2″, 3″, 6-1/4″, and 7-1/4″
Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it so today I have a project featuring CHOCOLATE ( I can’t imagine a world without chocolate)! I created a Valentine’s Day Matchbox which is an open box with a sleeve. Slide the box out to reveal delicious chocolate inside. I’ll be back tomorrow with a video showing how quickly you can make this box!
To create the sleeve, I used Stampin’ Up! From My Heart Designer Series Paper. What you can’t see in the photo is that inside each heart is a foil pink accent. So pretty! Our heart shaped doilies are perfect for this project because who doesn’t need more hearts? In the catalog they’re shown in Flirty Flamingo and Real Red but turn them over and you have another option, white!
I stamped the sentiment using the stamp set Heartfelt and then punched it out with one of the heart punches in the Heart Punch Pack. You can purchase these two items separately but if you want them both, you’ll save 10% by purchasing the Heartfelt Bundle.

If you need a quick and easy card, this one fits the bill! I started with the gorgeous Best Dressed 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and paired it with Petal Pink and Lovely Lipstick cardstock (I always look on the back of the package to see what coordinating colors Stampin’ Up! recommends).
I stamped the sentiment onto Whisper White cardstock with Lovely Lipstick ink using the stamp set Timeless Tropical. Then I cut it out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. These sweet dies have a beautiful scalloped border and stitching! I cut a larger rectangle in Lovely Lipstick and layered the two pieces.

Happy New Year!! 2020 is here and I hope you have your best year, ever!
Sale-a-Bration and the new Mini Catalog debut on Friday! I’m really excited because you’ll be able to purchase lots of brand new products. Sale-a-bration is an exciting time of year not only because you earn FREE product with every $50 purchase but because Stampin’ Up! always adds some extra fun to the Starter Kit. If you’re thinking you’ll purchase at least $300 in Stampin’ Up! product between January 3rd – June 30, 2020, then the Starter Kit is something you really should consider! Let me explain why.
When you purchase the $99 Starter Kit between January 3rd and March 31, 2020, you’ll enjoy all the perks I’ve listed above. Each quarter, demonstrators are required to submit $300 in sales (which includes anything you purchase for yourself) but anyone who joins during Sale-a-bration has until June 30, 2020 to reach the $300 minimum!!
Do I have to teach classes and sell to others? I had this same question when I purchased the kit and the answer is no! That’s the beauty of this kit. You do with it what YOU want. If you only want to purchase for yourself and receive at least a 20% discount on all your purchases, you can do that. If you want to offer classes, you absolutely can do that too but it isn’t required.
There’s no risk in purchasing the Starter Kit. Honest! If after June 30th you decide this isn’t for you, you’ll simply be dropped, no questions asked. I will support you in any way I can.
Questions? I’m just an email away!
Ready to join? Wait until January 3rd (so you’ll get all the perks of Sale-a-bration) and then click here.
Tomorrow is the very last day to purchase from the Holiday Catalog. Click here to see what’s still available.
