Hi Stampers. Today’s project is gift bags. I made the two gift bags below for a Facebook Live that I recorded last March (you remember March 2020 don’t you? LOL) The Christmastime Is Here DSP used is no longer available, but the idea and measurements are still valid.
These gift bags are the perfect size to hold a small gift – like say…. a few stamp sets. 🙂
I also created a tag, for the gift bags, using the Beautiful Friendship stamp set. You can learn the measurements and all about how to make this bag by watching the video below.

Hi Stampers. I have a lot to share with you today! The main feature is the landscape easel cards, but there is also the decorated tiny treat boxes. These projects are all fairly “autumn / thanksgiving” related. But, I wanted to post them anyway. A change up of the colors an DSP and you can make a bunch of different projects. This post is mainly for basic ideas.
This is my landscape easel card. It features the Gilded Autumn DSP, Brushed Metallic Paper and the Nested Label Dies.
The sentiment is from the Country Home stamp set and the leaves are from the Rooted in Nature stamp set.
I just love cards that pop up for display!
Decorating the envelope is a fun added touch!
Inside. you can see that I did more stamping and used the smallest of the Nested Label Dies to make the “stop” for my card. The are up on stampin’ dimensionals.
Here I have a decorated clear tiny treat box filled with M & Ms and covered with cardstock and DSP.
I love how they are so simple to do! You can choose to do the 2″ x 8-1/2″ strip of DSP alone or you can do a 2″ strip of CS followed by a 1-1/2″ strip of DSP.
To finish them off, I just tied ribbon or trim around it and made a bow on the top.
This box is filled with skittles. Any small candy will work.
Here are a few more cards using the same landscape easel fold and stamp sets.
This time I used the Magic In The Night DSP. I also used the envelope dies to line the envelopes.

Hi Stampers, do you remember the “magic wallet”? As a kid, I remember being mesmerized trying to figure out how the items switched sides. Today I’m here to show you how to make one out of Stampin’ Up! supplies.
I started with Basic Black CS, added some Gold Foil and then Added the World of Good DSP. (See video below for all the measurements and further instructions).
There is a Starbucks gift card on one side of the Magic Wallet and a sort of cheat sheet on the other side.
Stampin’ Tip: I made a miniature version of the wallet using bakers twine (without the top layers of paper) as a guide, so I don’t forget how the ribbons are attached if I ever want to make it again.
Ribbons in the Magic Wallet are in the form of an X on one side and two straight ribbons on the other side. When you flip it (like pages in a book) open and closed again, the gift card and my guide switch sides. Kids love it!
To finish off the Magic Wallet, the outside of card is decorated with the DSP and then I used the World Dies with Balmy Blue and Just Jade CS to make the globe. Some Gold Foil, cut out of the middle layer, is used to make the globe base and the scallop oval. The sentiment (from the Beautiful World stamp set) is stamped in Just Jade ink onto a Whisper White oval.

Hi Stampers. Happy Monday! Since I work for myself, I love Mondays! It’s like a fresh start and it’s Facebook Live day over on my Facebook Business Page! (We are doing a simple shaker card class today at 2:30pm MT). Today’s post is a card I made for Facebook Live two weeks ago. If you like today’s post, check out the masculine circle swirl card in this other post HERE.
For the base of this card, I chose Terracotta Tile and paired it with the Ornate Garden DSP. Pulling a few other colors from that DSP, I’m also using Terracotta Tile, Mint Macaron, Old Olive and Bumblebee for the swirls on my card. The “happy birthday” is in Early Espresso.
For the circles, I die cut the first and last color using the largest and smallest circle of the Stitched Shapes Dies. The two middle colors were cut using the two middle sizes, one of each of those colors. They were then cut in half and assembled to make the swirls on the front of the card. (How, is all explained in the video tutorial below. If you saw the mess of a FB live on Facebook, don’t worry, I edited out the technical difficulties and the YouTube video is much better.)
I then cut a Whisper White stitched circle and stamped the “happy” from the Well Said stamp set in Early Espresso ink. The “birthday” is die cut from a piece of Early Espresso CS (with adhesive sheet on the back) using the Well Written Dies. To help cover the seam where the circles meet, I positioned the birthday right over the center.
Inside the card is a simple 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Whisper White CS with the sentiment (also from the Well Said stamp set) stamped in Early Espresso ink. To help coordinate with the outside of the card, a leftover strip of the DSP is adhered on the left side.
At first, this technique really threw me for a loop. Since my motto here is “There is NO STRESS in stamping”, I worked had to get a simpler way to present this technique. Once I got it all straight in my head it really was quite easy – check out the video below to see just how easy I make it for you!

Hi Stampers, on my last post I featured an Interlocking Gatefold card. See that post by clicking HERE. In that card I used the Gilded Autumn DSP and the Gather Together bundle. For this card, I’m using the Heartwarming Hugs DSP and the Wishes & Wonder stamp set (with an added sentiment from the Gnome for the Holidays set).
My card base for this card is a Shaded Spruce gatefold card base. The decorative Ornate Layers dies were used on Green Foil and another layer of Shaded Spruce CS. Heartwarming Hugs DSP adds a pop of white to my mostly monochromatic card.
The circle sentiment is from the Wishes & Wonder stamp set and was stamped onto a scrap of Whisper White CS in Shaded Spruce ink and punched out using the 1-1/2″ circle punch. A Little Christmas Wish sentiment, from the Gnome for the Holidays stamp set, was stamped onto another scrap of Whisper White (also in Shaded Spruce ink) and die cut using the smallest of the Stitched Rectangle dies.
For this card, the three layered strips are adhered to the opposite sides (when compared to my Gilded Autumn card), with the top and bottom adhered on the left and the middle strip adhered on the right side.
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Red Foil paper. I stamped onto a 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ layer of Whisper White CS. The sentiment is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink, the foliage in the upper left was stamped in Shaded Spruce ink and the sleigh was stamped in Memento Black ink.
Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend Combo pack was used to color the sleigh and add berries to the foliage. I just love how our Stampin’ Blends work so beautifully and are so easy to use! If you don’t have these yet – you want them!!
Here is my fall theme card next to my Christmas theme card – which one do you like better? let me know in the comments.

Hi Stampers. I was recently asked by one of my followers how to make a card made by fellow demo Tammy Beard. My card today is Tammy’s layout adapted to my color pallet and stamp set bundle.
The Cajun Craze base of the card is a basic gatefold card – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 2-1/8″ from each side and then folded to meet in the middle. Over that card base I adhered three layered pieces.
Each strip starts with a piece of Brushed Metallic cardstock die cut using a die from the Ornate Layers dies, then a piece of Early Espresso CS cut with another die from the same die set. On top is a strip of the Gilded Autumn DSP cut using the paper trimmer to fit over the top. The center piece has a strip of Very Vanilla CS die cut using the smallest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. Cajun Craze in was used to stamp the sentiment from the Gathered Together stamp set. The final touch is a Brushed Metallic leaf die cut using the Gathered Leaves Dies attached with a stampin’ dimensional.
The top and bottom layered strips were attached on the right side and the middle on to the left. They were a bit too long, so I placed them so that the fancy edge was on the opposite side of where it was adhered and cut off the excess from the back using paper snips.
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of the Gilded Autumn DSP followed by a piece of 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ piece of Very Vanilla CS, both adhered with Stampin’ Seal. Before adhering the Very Vanilla Layer I stamped the wheat in Crumb cake ink and the sentiment and pumpkins in Cajun Craze ink. All three of these stamps are from the Gathered Together stamp set.
