Simple & Shimmery with the August 2026 Product of the Month

Leave a comment

Sometimes a beautiful piece of Designer Series Paper doesn’t need much help to create a gorgeous handmade card. That was definitely the case with this card featuring the Glow of Harvest 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up!’s August 2026 Product of the Month.

This paper is absolutely gorgeous in person. The subtle shimmer adds just the right amount of sparkle, while the warm autumn-inspired colours make it perfect for fall cards and so many other handmade projects. The Glow of Harvest paper features six single-sided designs and coordinates with Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Golden Glow and Pecan Pie.

For this card, I wanted to keep things simple and let the beautiful paper be the star.

I used a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper as the main focal point. The shimmer in the paper catches the light beautifully and gives the card plenty of interest without needing lots of additional layers or embellishments.

I added a strip of Golden Glow ribbon and a few Golden Glow Flat Pearls for some coordinating sparkle.

The sentiment comes from the Exciting Times stamp set. I heat embossed it in gold on Early Espresso cardstock, which ties beautifully into the rich colours in the Designer Series Paper.

The result is a simple, elegant card that really shows how much impact you can get from a gorgeous piece of specialty paper.

GDP562 Sketch Challenge: Cutest Crew Birthday Card

Leave a comment

There’s just something about puppies that makes a birthday card instantly more cheerful! 🐾💕

For this week’s Global Design Project sketch challenge, I had so much fun creating this bright and playful birthday card featuring the adorable puppies from the Cutest Crew Bundle.

I kept the layout fairly simple so those cute little faces could take centre stage, then added a few details to give the card some extra texture and personality. A little linen thread, some texture in the background (Sunflower 3D embossing folder on the Golden Glow strips and the pre-order Softly Woven 3D embossing folder for the background), and those pretty Crisp Cantaloupe In Color butterflies were just the finishing touches this card needed. 🦋

I love how a sketch challenge can take you in a direction you might not have chosen on your own. Starting with the sketch gave me a great jumping-off point, and then it was just a matter of playing with the colours and elements until everything came together.

The result is a fun, happy birthday card that would be perfect for any dog lover — or really anyone who could use a little puppy-powered cheer!

This project was created for Global Design Project #GDP562, a sketch challenge that is always a great source of card-making inspiration. If you enjoy card sketches, be sure to check out the challenge and see how other crafters interpreted it.

Christmas Crafting with Stitched Season DSP | Case the Catalog Challenge

Leave a comment

I am officially in full Christmas crafting mode! 🎄 With autumn Christmas fairs on the horizon, I’ve been pulling out my Christmas Designer Series Paper and looking for ways to create cards that are festive, eye-catching—and don’t take forever to make.

This card was created for this week’s Stampin’ Through the Catalog Challenge, and I had so much fun putting it together.

For this design, I used A Stitched Season Designer Series Paper for almost all of the colour and pattern. I cut four rectangles (1-1/2″ X 2-1/4″ each) for the background and then used the third-smallest Everyday Arches Die to cut the little bird from a different DSP piece as the focal piece.

No stamping or colouring involved. Just a bit of die cutting, layering and embellishing!

The card base got some extra texture from the Textured Tree Rings 3D Embossing Folder, which adds just the right amount of interest without competing with all those pretty patterns.

And then there’s that Happy Christmas sentiment! ❤️

I used the new Magical Christmas Hot Foil Die with red hot foil and the reverse plate. I LOVE how bold and shiny it is—and how quickly hot foiling can take a card from simple to special.

The Magical Christmas Hot Foil Die is part of the upcoming September–December collection. Customers will be able to order it beginning in September, but if you’re someone who just can’t wait to get your hands on the new products, you can join my Stampin’ Up! team today and take advantage of the demonstrator preorder.

That means you can choose all the preorder products you want and start creating before the new catalogue even goes live. If you’ve ever thought about joining my team, this is a pretty fun time to do it!

I’m really enjoying being in full Christmas mode already. There is something very satisfying about getting a head start on those Christmas fair projects—and this card is a perfect example of why I love Designer Series Paper so much.

Festive Friday: A Little Woodland Christmas Magic

Leave a comment

It’s Festive Friday, and I have another Christmas card to share with you! 🎄

I’m having so much fun getting a head start on my Christmas cards, and this one features the adorable Woodland Wishes stamp set.

There’s something about these little woodland images that makes me smile. The sweet little deer and bird make such a fun focal point, and I love how the soft, natural colours give this card a cozy woodland feel.

A pop of Real Red from the sentiment and those fun Adhesive-Backed Christmas Berries adds just enough Christmas colour, while the little bit of Linen Thread gives it a rustic finishing touch.

This one feels like Christmas in the woods to me—and I think it would be a fun design to make multiples of for your Christmas card stash!

Throwback Thursday: A Christmas Card with Half Full

Leave a comment

I’m using some of my free time over summer break to get a little ahead for Christmas Craft Fairs this fall, so apparently it’s time to start making Christmas cards! 🎄

For this Throwback Thursday, I pulled out an old favourite: the Half Full stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I love revisiting older stamp sets and giving them a fresh look with newer colours and products.

For this card, I went with a mostly white colour palette for a soft, snowy Christmas feel. The embossed background adds lots of texture while keeping the overall design clean and elegant.

The wine glasses are coloured with Golden Glow, while the holly leaves feature Peaceful Pine and a pop of Real Red for the berries.

And then there are those gorgeous Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes! These are a pre-order product that I was able to play with early as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. They’ll be available to customers in September, so I thought this card would make a fun little sneak peek.

I love how those tiny snowflakes add just a touch of sparkle without taking away from the focal point.

Of course, a card made with the Half Full stamp set needs a little humour!

There’s another fun sentiment waiting inside this card — because sometimes the inside deserves just as much attention as the front. 😉

I’m hoping to build up a good collection of cards for my Christmas Craft Fairs over the next few months. Getting started during summer break means I can enjoy the process instead of scrambling to make everything at the last minute!

And while I’m definitely not ready to give up summer yet… I have to admit, Christmas crafting is pretty fun. 🎄

GDP561 Colour Challenge: A Soft and Pretty Christmas Card

Leave a comment

I’m playing along with this week’s Global Design Project colour challenge #GDP561, and I have to say… these colours are just gorgeous together!

This week’s colour combination is Hydrangea Hue, Soft Sea Foam and Peaceful Pine, and I thought they would make a beautiful, slightly unexpected Christmas colour palette.

I’m trying to get a head start on my Christmas cards, so I reached for the simple and lovely Hope Love & Joy Bundle to create this sweet Christmas card.

I started with a Hydrangea Hue card base, stamped with Hydrangea Hue snowflakes for a subtle background. I then added a torn strip of Soft Sea Foam cardstock across the middle, with a Basic White strip layered over top.

For the sentiment, I stamped the J and Y in Peaceful Pine, while the “O” is actually a Hydrangea Hue snowflake! I love finding little ways to make a simple card more interesting.

A bit of Peaceful Pine ribbon and the gorgeous Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes finished it off perfectly.

And speaking of those snowflakes… they are currently available through the Stampin’ Up! demonstrator preorder! If you’d love early access to new products and all sorts of fabulous preorder goodies, I’d love to have you join my team, Ink Pad Pals – see below for more details.

I hope this Global Design Project colour challenge inspires you to create your own project for #GDP561. Grab your crafting supplies and join the fun!

HSS495 Inspiration Challenge: Sunflower Birthday Card

Leave a comment

There’s something about sunflowers against a bright blue sky that just makes me happy! 🌻💙 For this week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge (HSS495), I was inspired by the beautiful combination of sunny yellow sunflowers and that gorgeous pop of blue.

I decided to recreate that feeling on a handmade birthday card using the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder, Stampin’ Blends and a little bit of ink blending.

To create my background, I embossed Basic White cardstock with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder. I coloured the debossed side of the flowers with Stampin’ Blends—Pecan Pie for the centres, Golden Glow and Darling Duckling for the petals, and Granny Apple Green for the leaves.

Then came the fun part! I dragged an Azure Afternoon ink pad across the entire piece, creating a beautiful blue background while allowing the colourful sunflowers to really pop.

I added a birthday sentiment from Exciting Times, stamped in Azure Afternoon, and finished the card with Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine and three Golden Glow 2026–2028 In Color Butterflies.

I love how cheerful and summery this card turned out! It definitely captures the feeling of a field of sunflowers under a beautiful blue sky. 🌻

I hope you’ll stop by Hand Stamped Sentiments to see what the rest of the Design Team created, then join us with your own interpretation of this late summer inspiration board!

August 2026 Paper Pumpkin – Kindred Greetings Unboxing & Alternative Card

Leave a comment

There’s something special about a handmade card with a simple, heartfelt message, and the Kindred Greetings Paper Pumpkin kit is all about sending those thoughtful cards when they’re needed most.

If you missed my Paper Pumpkin live, the replay is now available! In the video, I walk through the three beautiful card designs included in the kit and share some tips for putting them together.

Watch the Kindred Greetings Paper Pumpkin Replay, I’ll walk you through assembling all three of the kit’s original card designs while sharing tips and tricks along the way. Whether you have the kit sitting on your craft table waiting to be opened or you’re simply looking for some card-making inspiration, I hope you’ll enjoy crafting along with me!

🎥 Watch the replay here:

For my alternate design, I stepped away from the original card layouts and paired the Kindred Greetings stamp set with the Botanical Expressions Dies.

I used the Botanical Expressions Dies to create the beautiful leafy background, keeping the overall card soft and monochromatic. I also added a little 2nd generation stamping speckle to the stamped foliage and some delicate butterfly embellishments for a touch of whimsy.

I love how changing the layout and adding a few supplies from my craft room can give a Paper Pumpkin kit a completely different look!

The card base was scored at 2″, 3-1/8″, 5-3/8″ and 6-1/2″ (which is not what I said in the video – sorry!)

One of my favourite things about Paper Pumpkin is discovering just how far you can stretch the supplies. You can follow the instructions exactly as designed, or use the exclusive stamps and pieces to create something completely your own.

Coast to Coast Creators: A Festive Fun-Fold Christmas Card

Leave a comment

It’s time for another Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop, and this month we’re sharing one of our favourite fun-fold card designs!

I’m excited to share this festive Christmas card with you. I love fun folds because they add a little element of surprise to a handmade card. This one looks interesting when it’s closed, but opens up to reveal even more layers and space for a message.

For this card, I used the gorgeous Stitched Season Designer Series Paper. The traditional Real Red and Secret Sea patterns are perfect for Christmas cards, and I love how the different patterns work together with this particular fold.

The focal point is the Hope, Love & Joy Bundle, with the JOY sentiment layered onto the front of the card.

To add a little extra sparkle and texture, I also used:

  • Shimmering Stripes 12″ x 12″ Specialty Paper
  • Real Red Stitched Ribbon
  • A heat-embossed snowflake
  • A small rhinestone placed in the centre of the snowflake

That little rhinestone is such a simple detail, but it adds just the right amount of Christmas sparkle!

How This Fun Fold Comes Together

The card base starts with a piece of cardstock measuring 5-1/2″ x 12″.

On the 12″ side, score at 4″ and 8″. Then, on the 5-1/2″ side, make a mark at 2″ and cut from that mark to the far score line to create the angled sections.

The Designer Series Paper is cut to coordinate with each angled section:

  • Front angled layer: 3-3/4″ x 3-1/2″, on the 3-3/4″ side mark at 1-3/4″ then cut from that mark to the far point at an angle.*
  • Middle angled layer: 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″, on the 3-3/4″ side mark at 3-1/2″then cut from that mark to the far point at an angle.*
  • Inside angled layer: 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″, on the 3-3/4″ side mark at 3-1/2″then cut from that mark to the far point at an angle.*

*make sure you are cutting in the right direction to adhere to the card base.

The Basic White inside layer measures 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″, giving you plenty of room to add a greeting and a personal message. I added a 3-3/4″ X 1-7/8″ piece of DSP and a 3-3/4″ X 5/8″ piece of Shimmering Stripes DSP to the top of this piece.

The great thing about this fold is that once the card base and DSP pieces are cut, it comes together quite quickly. The angled pieces do all the work of creating that fun, dimensional look!

✨ Now it’s time to see what the other Coast to Coast Creators have created for this month’s fun-fold theme. We have talented Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from across Canada sharing their projects, so be sure to hop along and check them all out.

Thanks so much for stopping by and spending a little time crafting with me!
