There are so many fun free picks from the Sale-a-Bration publication this year. One of my favorite items that you can get with a $50 order is the Kerchief Card Kit. This kit makes 4 of each of these cards (8 cards total).
I played around with this kit to make some adorable treat holders (inspired by a project in the January Tutorial Bundle) and then I added a bit of extra cardstock so I could expand how many cards I could get from this all-inclusive kit. I love what I came up with!
So on Wednesday during my Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook, I shared how I made all these items (AND shared tips for using the new Mini Trimmer!). I uploaded the recorded version of my Facebook Live video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). And then I was able to share it here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), scroll through the close-up photos, check out the products list below the photos, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Did you notice that I completely forgot to stamp my sentiment in my treat holder? Ooops! 😆Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for the cards and treat holders that I demonstrated.

I love it and was also inspired by a similar sample in the catalog (a photo of it is also shared in the online store), so I came up with a few other cards using this sheet from the Peaceful Poppies Designer Paper.
I cut one of the two sheets into 4″ x 12″ strips. I cut two of those in half. Then I cut a 3/4″ strip off the top (or bottom) of each of those so I ended up with four 3/4″ x 4″ pieces and four 5-1/4″ x 4″ pieces. And these are the cards I put together…
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements for cards with white base…
Whisper White Cardstock
11″ x 4-1/4″ scored parallel to the short side at 5-1/2″
Peaceful Poppies Designer Paper
5-1/4″″ x 4″
3/4″ x 4″
Measurements for cards with black base…
Basic Black Cardstock
11″ x 4-1/4″ scored parallel to the short side at 5-1/2″
Whisper White Cardstock
5-1/4″ x 4: (for the inside layer)
Peaceful Poppies Designer Paper
5-1/4″″ x 4″
3/4″ x 4″
The designer paper for the card Ashley made was cut the same way. She used the back side of the strip for the sentiment piece and heat embossed the sentiment with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.
For one of mine, I copied her card completely except for the positioning of the sentiment strip.
For another one where I cut the 3/4″ strip from above the flowers instead of below, I used the white (front) side for the sentiment. I embossed with Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder. And I changed the base cardstock to Basic Black.
I also added another sentiment from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set on the inside.
For my third card I used the full 4″ of the strip and attached it flat with SNAIL rather than with Dimensionals.
If you haven’t already noticed, I added Wink of Stella shimmer paint to the flowers on each card. And I accented areas on the fronts and insides with Rhinestones.
My fourth card was a little simpler looking on the front. I just stamped directly above the flowers.
But I added my strip to the inside for more color.
Here is a final peek at all the cards. With two 12 x 12 sheets of this in each pack, one could make 12 cards in any or all of these layouts!
The Peaceful Poppies Suite (of which the designer paper and stamp set are a part of) is so amazing! Stay tuned. Because I’ll have many more ideas to share with you soon where I use products from this suite.

I’m keeping it short and simple today. But I’m still bringing to you some creative inspiration by sharing a few of my handmade Christmas cards. I couldn’t share them all, but I’m sharing several that are made with current products or the latest Paper Pumpkin kits. Those that made each card are mentioned in the watermarks of the photos. Hoping you are enjoying this magical season. Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Happy Kwanzaa! Happy Holidays!! ❤️~Rachel

I’m very excited for the new 2020 Spring Catalog to debut on January 3rd! Last month I was enjoying creating with some of these new products and discovered how the “cute as a bug” sentiment in the new Little Ladybug stamp set worked so well with the worm shape you can get from the Snowman Builder Punch. I took these supplies and designed a few cards and bookworm bookmarks.
Then on Wednesday during my Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook, I shared how to make one of the cards and the adorable bookmark and holder. I uploaded the recorded version of my Facebook Live video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). And then I was able to share it here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), scroll through the close-up photos, check out the products list below the photos, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for the cards and bookmarks that I demonstrated.

MY ONLINE PAPER CRAFTERS CLUB IS LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS I’m forming a new Paper Crafters club that will begin mid-December (with orders due mid-month for January, February, March, April, May, and June).

And then you’d also be able to get in on monthly product perks that would be sent to you along with your monthly club cards.
I rushed right into creating with my new December 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit because my mind was racing with alternate project ideas the moment I opened the box AND because I wanted to share with you right away. With my family on vacation for two weeks for the holidays I wanted to be sure to share with you before all of us went on relaxation, sleeping-in-late mode. 😉Hahaha!
This month’s kit (titled Something for Everything) included supplies to put together 12 attractive all-occasion cards (4 of 3 designs). And it included the supplies shown below.
I like to think outside the box…see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages and more. So I added the extra supplies in the product list at the bottom of this post to the above kit contents and created my alternate projects that I’m sharing with you today:
Three K-Cup holders
A simple congratulations card
A flower pot card
A pyramid/teepee card
And a 12×12 scrapbook page
Watch my video first to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog). Scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned in my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make my creations. Then be sure to visit my blog again soon, because I have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing in early January. 😁
Here are the cards the kit instructs how to make.
And here are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch the video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
Three K-Cup holders
A simple congratulations card
A flower pot card (A correction to the flower pot card: the measurement for the base piece is 3-1/2 x 8-1/2″ as I mentioned. The print across the screen is incorrect. I’m so sorry for any confusion this caused.)
A pyramid/teepee card
And a 12×12 scrapbook page
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!
