Welcome to our All Star monthly blog hop for the Unbounded Beauty Suite! We are excited to share even MORE ideas than what we are offering in our exclusive Video Class Bundle this month.
I’ve created this “die art” empathy card using every product in this suite collection. If you know what punch art is, then you know why I’m calling it die art. Both are basically the art of using shapes to make new unintended images.
For reference this post from 4/9/23 shows ways to create a bunny and a bee using the now retired Ladybug Punch. And an FYI…I did die-art for my video class project, too! So you’ll want to get your hands on that bundle.
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube and on Facebook step-by-step directions for creating this card with the suite products and other Stampin’ Up! products shown below in my products list. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
Click here to access and download a printable “measurements & supplies” sheet.
Measurements…
Basic White Thick Cardstock
4-1/4” x 11” scored parallel to the short side at 5-1/2”
Petunia Pop Glimmer Paper
(2) 3/4” x 4-1/4”
Scrap for punching heart
Unbounded Beauty Designer Paper (background)
(2) 1” x 4”
Unbounded Beauty Designer Paper (peach)
Here are more photos of the unique card. Dimensionals are such a great adhesive. That small amount of lift gives just the right amount of shadow.
Here is the inside which is pretty plain. But I still thought I should share. Feel free to fancy it up a bit.
Did you get your hands on this month’s bundle of video classes featuring products in the Unbounded Beauty Suite? Each month’s Video Class Bundle includes photos, imperial and metric measurements, complete product lists, and links to instructional videos for twelve projects designed by our team of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world. And they are exclusive to those who earn them or purchase them.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared!

With fewer Halloween themed products right now (although September 4th will bring more…stay tuned!), I thought it would be a good time to get creative and make Monster Cards for you. I love creating monster cards and projects and have done so many times in the past with other products.
My desire to come up with a monster card, inspiration from a fun fold card shared by Terri Gaines at the August Creative Connections event, and the “teeth-looking” Frozen Edges Dies debuting 9/4/24 got my mind spinning. And I came up with more than just one “talking” monster card! They are addicting! So if you are not into making Halloween cards? I’ll also show you how to adapt these to make monster cards for birthdays and beyond.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these clever creatures with some current and soon-to-be new Stampin’ Up!® product: Throughout the Year Stamp Set, Round We Go Stamp Set & Dies, Frozen Edges Dies, Thoughtful Journey & Splendid Autumn Paper Packs, and more.

Part of that presentation focused on card sketches. We shared how most of them can be seen on p. 22, but that there are a few others hidden gems here and there. On p. 103 you can find the “hidden gem” sketch that inspired today’s and Saturday’s creations. These pages show that sketches are meant to be “starting points” and that you don’t have to use card sketches just to inspire card creations, right?
I used the Sweet Peas Stamp Set, circles from two sets of dies and a punch, and the pretty Flowering Zinnias Designer Paper to create this page. And just like the page that I shared on Saturday, I have horizontal strips with a large circle focal point and sentiment strip off on the left (closely in alignment with the card sketch on p. 103).
If you are interested on recreating this one, here are the details.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Basic White Cardstock
12″ x 12″
Scraps for stamping and fussy-cutting the extra leaves
Scrap for die-cutting 3-1/4″ diameter circle
Scrap for die-cutting 1-5/8″ diameter stitched circle
Crumb Cake Cardstock (from the Neutrals 12×12 pack)
11-3/4″ x 11-3/4″
Flowering Zinnias Designer Paper
Three different 1/2″ x 11-3/4″ strips
Blackberry Bliss Cardstock
Four pieces cut to 4” x 5-3/8”
Scrap for punching 1-3/4″ diameter circle
3/4″ x 3″ strip for sentiment
Highland Heather Cardstock
Four pieces cut to 3-7/8” x 5-1/4”
Directions
Die-cut the Basic White circles. Punch the Blackberry Bliss circle.
Stamp the Sweet Pea image with Garden Green ink on the 1-5/8″ diameter stitched circle. Using this circle as a guide, stamp the leaves where they look best on the larger die-cut white circle. Stamp even more leaves on the white scraps. Then color them all in with the Blends Markers.
Layer and adhere the circles to create the focal point image. Fussy-cut out the remaining leaves.
Position the Blackberry Bliss photo mat layers, designer paper strips, and leaves on the 11-3/4″ x 11-3/4″ layer. When everything looks balanced and lined up, take one piece at a time and secure it with adhesive. Trim off any excess branch pieces, then add this whole layer to the 12″ x 12″ Basic White layer using Dimensionals.
Stamp (with VersaMark ink) and heat emboss (with white embossing powder) the ‘Welcome Sweet Pea’ sentiment. Add the die-cut circle using Dimensionals. But be sure that the adhesive does not connect to the photo area and also allows room for the sentiment strip.
Slide in and adhere the sentiment strip in place.
Embellish here and there with Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots.
Then add the Highland Heather photo mats and/or photos to finish off the page.
Which page design (today’s or Saturday’s) is more your style and why? Is it the imagery, the colors, the style of line art? I’d love to hear your thoughts. And if you are inspired by that card sketch on p. 103 in Stampin’ Up!’s 2024-25 Annual Catalog and you create your own card or project, please share in the Stamp Your Art Out Group on Facebook.

I’m a math girl. I LOVE figuring out ways to make the most of our great Stampin’ Up! patterned papers. And today I have another set of measurements you may want to try out with your 6×6 sheets of scenic patterned paper for some quick and easy cards. These cards are not fun fold cards. The bases are basic 1/2 sheets of cardstock folded in half. But the cuts from the scenic 6×6 patterned paper allow you to create two completed cards from one sheet. I hope you like what I’ve come up with!
I’m featuring the Lily Pond Lane 6×6 Designer Paper and using 4 of the sheets to make 8 cards. Here are the base measurements you will need for each card. Additional more precise measurements for the front designer paper layers are below under the photos of each card.
Measurements…
Basic White Cardstock
3″ x 4-1/4”
3/4″ x 5-1/4″
Pretty Peacock Cardstock
5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”
Designer Paper
Two front pieces 5-1/4” wide that together are 3″ tall (The cuts are different on each card…see specific measurements for these two pieces under the photos.)
Two inside pieces that are 3/8″x 3″
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Here is the first sheet of paper and how I cut it for my first two cards. Even though with this sheet you could cut horizontally through the middle first at 3″, you will want to instead cut your 4 smallest pieces first. Cutting vertically first will prevent you from making mistakes on the other sheets.
Trim off 3/8″ in from the left edge. Repeat. And then cut those two strips in half at 3″ to get four 3/4″ x 3″ vertical strips.
Position your paper in the trimmer so you are cutting in from the top. Then cut in at 2-1/4″ to get the first horizontal piece. Cut at 3/4″ to get the next one, Cut at 2″ for the next. And you should end up with a 1″ tall piece for the last one.
Those pieces above along with the stamped Basic White pieces, the Pretty Peacock card base, and the Adhesive-backed Dappled Dots will give you these two cards.
Front patterned paper pieces above measure…
3/4″ x 5-1/4″
2-1/4″ x 5-1/4″
Front patterned paper pieces above measure…
1″ x 5-1/4″
2″ x 5-1/4″
Here is the second sheet of paper and how I cut it for my next two cards.
Trim off 3/8″ in from the right edge. Repeat. And then cut those two strips in half at 3″ to get four 3/4″ x 3″ vertical strips.
Position your paper in the trimmer so you are cutting in from the top. Then cut in at 3/4″ to get the first horizontal piece. Cut at 7/8″ to get the next one, Cut at 2-1/8″ for the next. And you should end up with a 2-1/4″ tall piece for the last one.
Those pieces above along with the stamped Basic White pieces, the Pretty Peacock card base, and the Adhesive-backed Dappled Dots will give you these two cards.
Front patterned paper pieces above measure…
7/8″ x 5-1/4″
2-1/8″ x 5-1/4″
Front patterned paper pieces above measure…
3/4″ x 5-1/4″
2-1/4″ x 5-1/4″
Here is the third sheet of paper and how I cut it for my 5th and 6th cards.
Trim off 3/8″ in from the right edge. Repeat. And then cut those two strips in half at 3″ to get four 3/4″ x 3″ vertical strips.
Position your paper in the trimmer so you are cutting in from the top. Then cut in at 2-1/4″ to get the first horizontal piece. Cut at 1″ to get the next one, Cut at 2″ for the next. And you should end up with a 3/4″ tall piece for the last one.
Those pieces above along with the stamped Basic White pieces, the Pretty Peacock card base, and the Adhesive-backed Dappled Dots will give you these two cards.

2-1/4″ x 5-1/4″
3/4″ x 5-1/4″
Front patterned paper pieces above measure…
1″ x 5-1/4″
2″ x 5-1/4″
Here is the last sheet of paper that I played with and how I cut it for my last two cards.
Trim off 3/8″ in from the left edge. Repeat. And then cut those two strips in half at 3″ to get four 3/4″ x 3″ vertical strips.
Position your paper in the trimmer so you are cutting in from the top. Then cut in at 2″ to get the first horizontal piece. Cut at 3/4″ to get the next one, Cut at 2-1/4″ for the next. And you should end up with a 1″ tall piece for the last one.
Those pieces above along with the stamped Basic White pieces, the Pretty Peacock card base, and the Adhesive-backed Dappled Dots will give you these two cards.
Front patterned paper pieces above measure…
3/4″ x 5-1/4″
2-1/4″ x 5-1/4″
Front patterned paper pieces above measure…
2″ x 5-1/4″
1″ x 5-1/4″
For all cards add the two front patterned papers first about 1/8″ from the outer edges. Then add the stamped white strip in-between to get good spacing. For the inside, add the middle white panel first with very little adhesive so it’s centered but removable, Then add the two vertical strips so they are each about 1/8″ from the outer edges. Add more adhesive to the stamped white center piece to add it again permanently so it’s centered well.
We had our huge garage sale (our massive paper crafting supplies sale) this week on Wednesday and Thursday. Here are a few photos I remembered to take from this annual event.
It was fun to see shoppers (many familiar faces, too!) ready and waiting at 7 AM.
This year we had TWO tents for shade and fantastic weather which made the two days even more amazing.
Shoppers saved big, we earned, and everyone had a great time!
One shopper was quite memorable to us. We are hoping she’ll come back next year too! Wink wink.
Thanks Deborah! (Look at her haul!)
Fifteen demonstrators from my group took part: Me, Cayla, Lailoni, Alyson,…
Michelle, Theresa, Beth, JoAnn, Joanne, Ashley (with her “factory seconds” from her company, The Country Hive), Tricia, Nancy,…
Amy and Mary (pictured in the third photo), and Lori (who is not pictured).
We are thinking we need to get a food truck next year and have cafe tables and chairs set up. Wouldn’t THAT be fun!? (If any local food truck owners want to take part, message me.) If you want to plan ahead for 2025, I’ve penciled in June 18th and 19th. The dates may change. But right now that’s what I’m aiming for. If you are subscribed to my newsletter, you will get the official dates when next spring rolls around.
GET READY FOR BONUS DAYS, JUNE 10% PROMO ENDS TOMORROW, AND MORE…
Because it’s the end of one month/beginning of another, the June 10% Promotion is ending soon, new kits will be coming along with the start of Bonus Days (see image below) on July 3rd, and our All Star group is releasing a new Video Class Bundle along with a new 6-month subscription period starting July 1st.

We are busy preparing for Nick’s graduation party that will be held here on June 9th. He’s super excited and ready to move onto college to focus on Exercise Science, but will be enjoying a well-deserved summer off first. His last day of school is Friday, and the graduation ceremony is Monday evening.
In addition to party prepping, I’m creating many personalized graduation cards for the other kids we know that are also graduating this year. This fun fold card I’m sharing today is pretty popular. In fact, I found several versions of it out there on the internet. So I tweaked it a bit to make it large enough to hold a gift card upright AND large enough to fill our standard Basic White envelopes.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these Grad Cap Fold Cards with Pockets using the the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set and other fabulous products from Stampin’ Up! I also shared measurements of other basic variations. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Measurements …
Basic White Cardstock
6” x 12” (scored and cut per directions in video)
3/4”x 6” strip

Colored Cardstock, Foil or Designer Paper
(2) 4-1/8” x 4-1/8”
Twine

6”
24”
Here are photos of the finished cards I demonstrated.
What a fun card for a grad to open, right?!
And the sentiments from Wonderful Thoughts are perfect.
I love that this size allows a gift card to fit upright, too.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared today!
