🦋 Saturday, October 4, 2025
Oh wow! What a fun day of sharing during my Live broadcast on YouTube today. I started by leading my viewers in a Mystery Stamping Project. (If you want to play along and haven’t yet, then you don’t want to see the finished card samples yet. So don’t scroll down too far, and be sure to watch the recording first!) After the Mystery Stamping portion, I then shared several new products many of which debut on November 4th. And I ended the broadcast by sharing cards & gifts I’ve received recently (including my mass-load of Happy Birth-o-ween gifts from Rose Kerry) and the September 11th swap cards from those in my Stampers With ART community.
Be sure to watch my video by clicking here* (or you can just click on this image below if you are already here in my blog post and can view it), scroll through the photos of the sample mystery stamping cards, check out the products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below you’ll find my “clues” that I shared in the video, photos of two of my Mystery Stamping sample cards, and at the bottom of my post is a visual list of many of the products (each linked to where you can find and purchase them in my online store).
10/1/25 Mystery Stamping
Materials to gather:
Designer Paper (we will use two coordinating patterns and any possibly some accent images)
Basic White or Very Vanilla Cardstock
Coordinating Cardstock (two colors)
Card base color
Accent color
Stamp images/sentiments
Dies &/or punches (optional)
Embossing folder (optional)
Embellishments and/or ribbon (optional)
Adhesives
Trimmer & other basic tools
Cut and prep initial pieces…
Designer Paper
4″ x 9″ or 10.2 cm x 22.8 cm (pattern should work in portrait)
4″ x 5″ or 9.9 cm x 14 cm (pattern should work in landscape)
Basic White or Very Vanilla Cardstock
2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ or 7 cm x 9.5 cm
Coordinating Colored Cardstock (for card base)
4-1/4″ x 11″ or 10.5 cm x 29.7 cm
Another Coordinating Colored Cardstock
3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ or 8.3 cm x 10.9 cm
(Not needed right away, but to finish your card…accent layers from cardstocks/paper and accent images from paper/stamps/dies)
Clue #1: This will be a landscape style card with the opening in the middle.
Clue #2: Score 4-1/4″ x 11″ or 10.5 cm x 29.7 cm card base cardstock 2-3/4” or 7.4 cm in from each end (scores should be parallel to the short side). Fold in on each score line to form the base of the card. Position horizontally in front of you with the opening in the middle.
Clue #3: Cut the 4″ x 5″ or 9.9 cm x 14 cm piece of designer paper into two 2-1/2” x 4” or two 7 cm x 9.9 cm pieces. Adhere these each to the front panels or “doors” of the card base.
Clue #4: Open the “doors” of your card and adhere the 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ or 8.3 cm x 10.9 accent color of cardstock horizontally centered in the middle.
Clue #5: Score the 4″ x 9″ or 10.2 cm x 22.8 cm designer paper parallel to the short edge at 3” or 7.6 cm and at 6” or 15.2 cm. Then with your pattern facing you, hold the top of this designer paper strip with one hand while (with the other hand) folding back at the 3” or 7.6 cm score line and then forward at the 6” or 15.2 cm score line. This will create a zig-zag fold (or z-fold). Keep it folded and adhere the back of it to the 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ or 8.3 cm x 10.9 accent cardstock layer on the inside of your card.
Clue #6: Open this 4″ x 9″ or 10.2 cm x 22.8 cm designer paper once more and adhere the 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ or 7 cm x 9.5 cm Basic White (or Very Vanilla) cardstock in the lower third.
Clue #7: Close your card. Then take some time to cut, punch, die-cut, stamp, embellish to create a front layer for your card. Attach this only to the left “door.”
Clue #8: Open your card and cut, punch, die-cut, stamp, etc. to decorate the top of the folded designer paper strip. Stamp a sentiment on the 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ or 7 cm x 9.5 cm Basic White (or Very Vanilla) layer.
A big thank you to fellow demonstrator, Toni Shaw. Her gifted card to me inspired this Mystery Stamping project!
And this is the one featuring the new Brushed With Beauty Suite of products debuting November 4th (which is why you don’t see links for these below)…
If you created along with me, I’d absolutely LOVE it if you shared what you made by posting in my Stamp Your Art Out Group on Facebook! If you are not a part of that group yet, please request to join. And don’t forget to answer the membership questions when requesting to join! I can’t approve you until you do.

Wowza! It’s so true what they say…time flies! Our oldest son Nick is now 20 years. His birthday was Wednesday and we celebrated with dinner at his favorite restaurant, Crave in Maple Grove, MN on Thursday evening. Pictured left to right: Tim, Nick, Luke and me.
In my first year of blogging, he was just 7 years old. At that time I was making cakes, decorating the house, and creating and sending hand-crafted invitations for themed parties. I posted this 8 year old baseball-themed birthday party photo of him with his baseball cupcakes (that I made!) on October 5, 2013. Oh how much fun we had with the birthday celebrations back then AND how little he was!
Thanks for checking out what I had to share from this week. I hope I inspired your creativity! 🦋

I’m trying something new! Because typing on my computer often leads to pain in my post-surgical hand (and I’ve been to the doctor many times to figure out why, but it’s a mystery), I’m going to try to post less often. But those once-a-week posts will include links to any video classes from that week and photos of any of the weekly projects.
And as far as staying up-to-date on announcements and promotions, I’ll make those announcements as I always do on my Facebook Page, AND I’ll update the promotions/announcements area on my blog. So you can go to the most recent post, scroll to the very bottom, and read about what’s new and current anytime during the week. If there is something urgent, that news will also go out to those in my newsletter list.
So if you are a blog post subscriber, you will get an email about once a week rather than 2-3 times per week. And the content for that week will be in the one email. Thanks for your empathy and understanding. And hey! If this works well, that time that I spent writing up the two other blog posts will be more time for creativity!
🦋 Wednesday, September 24, 2025

Tonight I go live with my Stampers With ART Community for our fun, creative team event called Connect, Create & Share. I will lead them in two projects: a card that I will demonstrate (those that RSVPed early enough were sent the supplies) and a mystery stamping project. Here are peeks at four sample cards I’m sharing tonight. If you tune into my Live this Wednesday, you can watch me demonstrate these for you.
I thought I’d also share a photo of these gorgeous cards that Lisa Marshall created and mass produced for me to use for my team birthday cards this fall. Aren’t they stunning!? I ended up buying this Sunflower 3D embossing folder. I just couldn’t resist.

🦋 A Bit of Personal News
Our son Luke and his friend Tyler are officially moving to North Hollywood, California! They signed their lease agreement yesterday. And they’ve been busy purchasing all their necessities, getting things crossed off their to do list, and researching where they can work when they get there. Please send your well wishes. And hey, if you live near North Hollywood and would be willing to be surrogate family to them out there, let me know. If you work in a movie recording studio out there and know of any entry level jobs for them, please reach out. Sometimes it’s who you know, right? Can’t blame this mom for wanting a large support system for these guys.
And yes…I’m absolutely nervous that my kiddo is officially going off into the world. But I’m also super excited for him and for Tyler!

My September 2025 Fall for Toile Paper Pumpkin kit arrived on Thursday. It’s a thankful-themed kit with warm colors, metallic foil and rich autumnal imagery. And it contains enough supplies to make 9 cards (3 of 3 kinds). Did you get the kit and want to make them as intended? Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video.
I love to show kit subscribers other ways to use their supplies. I like to think outside the box, see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages, and more. So today I have several different card ideas and a 3-D idea for you along with lots of tips and tricks. Earlier today I demonstrated these ideas during my Live Online Paper Crafting Class on YouTube. Maybe you tuned in?
Watch my videohere to get measurements, directions, and tips (or you can just click on this image below if you are already in my blog post). 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 remember to visit my blog again soon, because I’ll have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing in future posts!
I hope you enjoyed what I shared and gained some creative inspiration! Below are close-up photos of the alternate cards I created. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.) And the products that I’ve shared or mentioned are shown/listed below and are currently linked to my online store.
Envelope Flap Cards
Easy
Stepped Up a Bit
Fancy-Shmancy
Simple “Torn-Strip” Card Can get six of these from three bases.
A-maize-ing Z-Fold Card
Tulle Shaker Card Visit my 7/30/25 blog post for details on putting together this type of card.
I applied Tear & Tape Adhesive to front of one frame and back of the other. Then I added tulle to each layer and trimmed the edges. (The one I’m holding is the bottom layer.)
Then I added 3/16″ wide strips cut from Foam Adhesive Sheets to the frame of the bottom layer making sure to have no gaps. I peeled off the backings so I could add the other layer on top. But before doing so,…
I put my Cajun Craze Two-Tone Cardstock confetti and a few of the shiny reddish and greenish circles from the Loose Shaker Elements within the “walls” of the foam adhesive sheet strips. Then I stacked/connected the two layers together to form the shaker portion of the card.
Lastly I simply glued this to the front of the kit card base and added the sentiment strip with a couple glue dots.
Place Markers for a Dinner Gathering
If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own. OR…become an active subscriber and get in on the refill kit (which typically becomes available after the 20th). The refill kit doesn’t contain the ink and stamp images. But you will at least gain the main pieces and can hopefully replace most of the stamp images I used with some of your own.

Here’s another Accordion Stretch Card…this time featuring the Spooky Sweet Designer Paper and the Spooky Halloween Stamp Set! I shared the start of this card back in June. (You can see it at the 47 minute mark of this 6/5/25 video titled June 2025 Show & Share: Gifted Cards, Swaps, New Products…) I can’t believe it was that long ago! And I finally finished it a couple weeks ago. If you were waiting for it, thanks for your patience.
This type of fun fold card is a great way to show off a whole span of 12 inches of your favorite designer paper in an 11 inch space – just add some creases! Above is the front/outside of the card. And below is the inside which really displays nicely that scenery paper from the Spooky Sweet Designer Paper pack. (Notice the kitty in the window.)
I shared a few cards like this recently. All of them included an extra folded Basic White Cardstock layer hidden on the inside for a place to sign the card.
The inside style of this one is a little different. For this unique paper I used my cutting blade attachment for my Take Your Pick tool and my glass mat for my underlying surface to cut three sides of the window with the kitty (top, right, and bottom) and folded the fourth side (left) to “hinge it” to allow it to open. Then I placed Basic White Cardstock behind the opening before connecting the designer paper into the base of the card.
Measurements…
Basic Black Cardstock
4-1/4” x 11” scored at 5-1/2”
Basic White Cardstock
3/4” x 4”
2” x 3”
3/8″ x1-3/4″
Spooky Sweet Designer Paper
(scenery) 4-1/4” x 12” scored at 3”, 4”, 5”, 6”, 7”, 8”, 9”
(gray) 4” x 5-1/4”
(banner) 1-1/8″ x 4-1/2″
die-cut image of crow and pumpkins
Petunia Pop 1/4” Iridescent Ribbon
9”
After attaching the right side of that 12″ length of designer paper to the inside of the card, connect the left side.
Stamp the words on the white strips. Cut the smaller one to isolate the two words (eat sweets) and adhere them to the inside of the card inside/under the window. Cut the larger strip into a banner and curl the end with the Bone Folder. Adhere this to the designer paper banner image, and add this to the larger gray designer paper layer. Stamp the sparkle image here and there. Then adhere this to the front of the card. Add the die-cut crow/pumpkins image with a Dimensional. Add the ribbon tied in a bow with a Glue Dot.
Of the four cards I’ve made now, do you have a favorite? Have you made a version of this type of card? Please share in the Stamp Your Art Out Group on Facebook. I’d LOVE to see it.
