It’s Show & Share Day! I’ve received quite a few stamped greeting cards & gifts from my paper crafting friends since my last Show-n-Share Live on 11/2/24. And I’m super excited to share them with you all today. My hope is that you’ll gain lots of creative inspiration & ideas. Did you send me one of your cards recently? If so, then you may see it in today’s Live presentation.
Plus as a bonus I have cards to show you in this Live from our latest team swap that took place on 12/29/24! The theme was new products from the January-February 2025 Sale-a-Bration brochure (which is debuting January 7th)!

I love altering kits. But the Perpetual Beauty Calendar kit was one that I wanted to recreate as instructed. I absolutely LOVE it! So what am sharing today? Well, there were a few leftover pieces after assembling the calendar. And today I’m sharing with you what I created with those pieces. I’m also sharing tips that will make creating your calendar a bit easier. And I thought I’d show you another option if you want to use the kit leaf images for cards and make your perpetual calendar a little more focused on a “celebrations” theme.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago my tips and instruction for all these ideas using the contents of the kit and a bit of other coordinating Stampin’ Up! product. 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 of the cards that follow, check out the measurements & products list below for those cards, and then let me know if you have any questions.

We have so much creativity that is shared from members of our community – in our team events, in our Facebook group, and in our cards that we swap. Today I am sharing our latest cards that were swapped on November 7th. I hope you still get a ton of inspiration from what arrived. The focus was using current products to show fun ways to use inks other than just straight stamping! Click here to find links to the current catalogs.
Take a look at all the creativity! Those that made each card are mentioned in the watermarks of the photos. By the way, this is a “sharing post” only. These ideas are to inspire creativity not to instruct. Please don’t ask for further details. I don’t have a supply list or measurements for each of these cards. And I don’t want to pressure the creators to provide that. Thanks for understanding. Of course, if you see an idea that you’d like me to share in the future, let me know.
A big thank you to all of the crafters/creators!

For this week’s Online Paper Crafting Class I’ll be once again “dividing to multiply.” I’ll use just one pack of the Gold Dipped Cards & Envelopes (a pack of 9) to make 36 cards! So I guess you could say I’m quadrupling the amount of cards. If you are looking to make lots of pretty Christmas cards quickly, check out what I have to share today.
The Gold Dipped Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes are stunning as you will see. These along with the Joyful Ephemera packs debuted when the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog was released on September 4. So I purchased them and came up with a way to cut the cards & envelopes into “designer paper layers.” Then I added these to Basic White Cardstock bases and decorated by adding the ephemera pieces and some embellishments.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for how to make these quick (yet stunning!) Christmas cards with these Gold Dipped Cards/Envelopes and a 1/2 pack each of the Joyful Sayings and Joyful Images Ephemera. 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.
FYI…the last 10 minutes were cut off due to some unknown technology glitch. (Grrr…right?) But basically I was just showing off the remainder of the cards in the same order as you will see in the photos below. And there is no time to fix it because I’m heading out of town. Sorry everyone.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Click here to access and download a printable “measurements & supplies” sheet.
Measurements to make all 36…
Basic White Cardstock
(36) 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4”
Gold Dipped Cards
From each card cut a ¾” x 8-1/2” strip to get nine strips
Then from each card cut in half to get two 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” pieces (18 altogether – 6 of each color)
Gold Dipped Envelopes
Cut 1/16” off the sides of each envelope to open them all up. Then cut the white half from the rest and trim each of these down to 5-1/2” wide (9 altogether)
Then cut the main full section to 4-1/4” deep x almost 6-1/2” wide. Trim this into two pieces to get one that is 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” and one that is 7/8” x 4-1/4” (9 of each altogether – 3 of each color)
Finally trim the flaps down to 1-7/8” x 5-1/2 (9 altogether – 3 of each color)
Here are images to help remind you how to cut the cards and envelopes to get all the layers.
And now I present photos of the 36 cards I just shared in my video!
Crazy amazing!! I hope you enjoyed what I shared today!
Winners: No prize winners today because that portion of the video cut out on me. Sorry. We will draw additional prizes next week.

Are you ready for a mass load of cards? I took the different sentiments from the Saying Something Ephemera Kit and the different images from the Something for Everything Ephemera Kit (one set of each of the images),…
…a full pack each of the Sunny Springs and the Calming Creek Mix & Match Cards/Envelopes, some cardstock for the extra card bases and layers, and some Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems and… I created 40 cards total!
I only needed a half pack of each of the ephemera kits because you get two of everything in each. All the Mix & Match cards I kept as is. So I had 10 card bases set to go. Then I added 30 more card bases from Basic White, Basic Black & Basic Gray cardstock. All the Mix & Match envelopes I cut down to become patterned paper layers. Here are the measurements.

4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ from each front (10)
1-5/8″ x 5-1/4″ from what is left over of the flap after cutting the front (10)
3-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ from each back (10)
Because I cut up the Mix & Match envelopes to use as paper, I’ve included a full pack of 40 Basic White Medium Envelopes below in my Products list. You’re gonna need those. (See below for a complete list of products I used to make these cards. All products are linked to where you can find them in my online store.)
Here are the cards I made with the full Mix & Match card bases.
Here are the cards I made with the 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ Mix & Match envelope layers.
Here are the cards I made with the 3-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ Mix & Match envelope layers.
And here are the cards I made with the 1-5/8″ x 5-1/4″ Mix & Match envelope layers.
In the rest of the photos you can see the full cards outside and in.
I’ve sorted them by the Mix & Match card and envelope pairs. If you see a little shadow under an ephemera piece, I’ve attached it to the card with Dimensionals or Mini Dimensionals.
You can also see where I’ve added the Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems. Not every card has them, but you would certainly have enough from one pack to embellish a couple more cards.
Some ephemera such as the “hey” and “friend” pieces needed to be adhered with glue. So I squeezed out a bit of Multipurpose Liquid Glue onto a Silicone Sheet and used a sponge to pounce the glue lightly on the back sides to make the words sticky everywhere.
One of my favorites is this bird and feather card. Most of the images and sentiments were pretty easy to match up.
I’m pretty happy with almost every card. But I have to admit, it was a challenge to put the images and words together when it came down to just having a few pieces left to work with. The Thanks and Yee Haw cards shown below are ones that I may have done differently. Hahaha!
But it was a fun challenge over all! My goal was to use up all the ephemera pieces that I could and not have any left overs.
I think I did. But I can’t remember! Hahaha. If you decide to recreate these cards, message me to let me know which pieces (if any) I didn’t end up using.
Isn’t it crazy all the variety that you get with these ephemera packs?
Which cards are your favorites?
For all you demonstrators, this could be a great class idea, too! And guess what? You’ll all want to get your hands on these products so you can use them for the free World Card Making Day virtual event that Stampin’ Up! is hosting on Saturday, October 5th.
During this event, you’re invited to craft along and make five simple cards. If you’d like to participate, you may want to have the following supplies on hand so you can recreate the cards being demonstrated.
There are new ephemera packs and a new set of cards/envelopes that will debut in the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog on September 4th. I hope to create with them and share soon!
Thanks for stopping by to see what I had to share today.
