Please Let Me Hear From You

This blog is for sharing a love of paper crafting. I love paper crafting -
and Stampin' Up! products in particular -
and became an independent Stampin' Up!®™ demonstrator early in 2025.
I'd love to be YOUR demonstrator as you buy your Stampin' Up! products.
Full disclosure: I get a small commission on purchases made
using Stampin' Up! links from this website, but this in no way affects your price.
It just serves to help support this blog. Thank you in advance for that support!

Enjoy browsing my blog, and I'd love to hear from you.
It is what helps make the time I put into this blog feel worthwhile, and always brightens my day.

Class Cards Using Decorative Masks

 
I have 4 cards today, from the Lovely Garden Suite - specifically the Lovely Garden patterned papers and the Thankful Garden bundle (decorative masks, stamps, dies).  I also used the Mixed Labels stamps and dies for my sentiments (currently the stamps are discontinued and the dies are on last chance sale).  
 
The four cards are shown below.

A Fun Mini Album

This interactive mini album is based on a design by Tamar Perry of Creative Treasures.  You can find some of her tutorials here.  The bulk of the papers are from a discontinued Stampin' Up! set called Season of Green and Gold, augmented with Stampin' Up cardstock and some papers from my stash.  I've designed it as a gift that will include Title options the recipient can add to the front of the album, a variety of colored mats for photos that can be added to the pages and flaps, decorative embellishment pieces that can be added, and a roll of Stampin' Up!s Tear and Tape they can use to add their photos, mats, and embellishments.  In the picture above, you can see what it looks like without the title.  The rest of the photos are a bit of a walk through of opening the various pages and flaps.

Here you see the album with the strap released and the first flap opened toward the top of the album.  The inside of it, with the lovely gold foil pattern on cream, has a decorative flap that can hold a large photo.  The new page that has been revealed has a decorative mat for a square photo, along with a mat that slides into the pocket that can have photo or journaling on both sides of it.

Do It Another Way

My last post showed 4 cards made with one 6x6 piece of double-sided patterned paper and other papers cardstock, and embellishments I had put together for club members.  I had one of those sets left over and decided to chop up the papers/cardstock in other ways and create 4 different cards.  These are the results.  I'm not going to list specifics of how I cut the papers or what I did, but thought it could be interesting for folks to compare these cards to ones in the last post.  Here's a quick look at them again:


And now for the new cards.

September Club Cards

For club this time, we created four cards from a single 6 x 6 piece of double-sided patterned paper from a discontinued Stampin' Up! paper pack called Season of Green and Gold.  Here's a picture of the 4 of them:

In this post, I'll show you the 6x6 one sheet wonder I used for them, the sketches I created, and a close up with instructions for each of the cards made.

KCC#11 Set 1

For this older KCC set, I again chose to use papers pulled from several paper packs.

KCC#17 Set 1

 

Again I'm going back to make up a KCC that I never had time to make - this time KCC #17.  And again, I pulled together papers from various packs to create the set of 6x6 papers from which I created it.  Here's what the papers looked like:
