What else can you make with the contents of the Christmas Ornaments Kits Collection Kit? How about cards? Why yes. Of course! I made six cards with my 2nd third of this kit. (I made wine bottle tags with my 1st third and shared those on September 14th. Visit that post if you want to see those projects.)
For each of these, you’ll need a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ sheet of Early Espresso Cardstock folded in half for the card base and a 3-3/4″ x 5″ Basic White layer for the inside. Then for three of them, you’ll need a 2″ diameter punched circle of Basic White to layer onto the three kit circles that don’t have white centers.
First stamp all your circles.
Lay out the pieces on your card, pull them away to stamp the background foliage images, then add them back in with adhesive.
Be sure to add your sentiment layer with Dimensionals.
And then embellish to add a bit more texture.
I used images from the Winterly Tree Tops Stamp Set. But there are probably many other stamp sets you could try using instead.
And did you notice that though this is a Christmas kit, changing the sentiment can make these cards work for other times of the year or other occasions. In fact they would make great masculine birthday cards.
If you want to put together the kit as intended, Stampin’ Up includes a sheet of visual directions within the kit. But you can also access directions through videos too. Click here to see the instructional video for this kit.

ALL STAR VIDEO CLASSES I’m a designer with the All Stars, a group of globally recognized Stampin’ Up! demonstrators.

Click here for more information. Click here to get to my Tutorials/Classes for Sale page to see others that have been offered. The next one featuring the Nest of Winter Suite from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog will be available November 1st.
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.

Welcome to our monthly APPT blog hop to showcase our September 2024Autumn AbundancePaper Pumpkin kit alternate projects! See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop for additional creative ideas that my fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator friends shared.*
For those of you not familiar with these kits, they get delivered straight to your mailbox in the months of your choice. Inside are all the supplies you need AND the directions for assembling the kit cards/projects designed. Here are the intended cards designed for this September 2024 kit. (Click here for Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)
I’ve already shared some other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on September 21st.
Four unique alternate card ideas including
a z-fold thinking of you card
a fall leaves matchbook fold card
a fall leaf pocket card
and a snail and mushroom pocket card
AND… a thankful 12×12 scrapbook page layout
Today I am sharing…
A wine bottle tag
A card with a removable corner bookmark
A layered wreath card
AND… three Halloween wrapped treats
Products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
The wine bottle tag is something that instantly came to mind when I saw the kit card base with the cut out circle in the center. This is the end that goes over the top of the bottle. I cut 2″ off the opposite side with my Trimmer and then reconnected them with the Cajun Craze square piece to not only make the tag longer & more rectangular, but to create a dark solid center for the sentiment focal point.
The sentiment is added with Dimensionals. I tucked in ephemera leaves from the kit, added with a Glue Dot a bow of Night of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon (9″ cut along the outside edges to get two long thin strands), and embellished with a couple Copper Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins.
This next idea was inspired by a card I received from friend and fellow demonstrator, Candace Johnson. She sent me a card this summer with a removable corner bookmark. And here is my version I made with this kit.
On the inside you can see the slit. I wrote lightly in pencil to show what the slit was holding. I wanted the tree slice image on both the outside and inside of the card. So I cut 3-1/2″ off the one side, cut that down to 4-3/4″ high, adhered it to the middle of a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Early Espresso cardstock after adding the copper heat embossed sentiment, and then wrapped that extra 3/4″ from the full card around to the back side of the Early Espresso layer to connect and form the full card. I added the slit for the bookmark 3″ down from the top and 1/2″ in from each side.
I made the bookmark from a 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ corner that I cut from the kit envelope with the Cajun Craze lining. From that same lining, I cut a 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ square and adhered that to the front. After stamping the branch image, I added on the leaf ephemera (using Multipurpose Liquid Glue) and the sequins.
My next idea is a card with a wreath. I discovered that putting two of those semi-circle ephemera together made a pretty wreath. To make it prettier, I simply added the leaves, the Cajun Craze strip and a sentiment
This image below just shows how I got the Pecan Pie layer, the Cajun Craze torn edge, and (both flipped over) the inside rectangular layer and leaf patterned curved accent on the bottom front.
Many who may be missing Halloween treat ideas from this year’s kit might appreciate these next three ideas…all candy wraps. The first one is super simple. I took half of the leaf card base and wrapped it around a pack of Sweet Tarts Ropes candy that I had first made super narrow and short by taping the sides and ends in. I secured the wrapped card base by stapling it shut. Then I added the stamped sentiment circle with Dimensionals.
This second one is my favorite. I first cut open the Night of Navy lined envelope and tore it as shown to create a fun edge. I cut out an Early Espresso “Hooray” using the die from the Every Celebration Dies set.
Then I cut the “Hooray” into these pieces…
…and positioned the pieces differently to form the word “boo.”
Here is the end result wrapped around a Hersey bar. The mouth on the ghost is from the H in the die-cut Hooray.
Here is the third wrapped treat idea. For this one I used the smaller envelope lining and wrapped it around a Kit-Kat bar. I added triangular white cardstock from the kit scraps and added them to the ends of the blue leaves to make them look like monster fingers (with fingernails) wrapping around from the back side of the bar. Spooky, right!? Hahaha! I’m thinking a couple eyes peeking over the top of the corner would make it more fun, but I ran out of time and had to get this all posted in time for the blog hop.
OH! Here is an image of the back sides of these last four projects.

ALL STAR VIDEO CLASSES I’m a designer with the All Stars, a group of globally recognized Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. And we are excited to share exclusively with our customers, paper crafting friends & team members our October 2024 Splendid Autumn Suite Video Class Bundle which is now available. Click here for more information. Click here to get to my Tutorials/Classes for Sale page to see others that have been offered. The next one featuring the Nest of Winter Suite from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog will be available November 1st.
Welcome to our All Star monthly blog hop for the Splendid Autumn Suite! We are excited to share even MORE ideas than what we are offering in our exclusive Video Class Bundle this month.
After creating my exclusive sample projects for the Video Class, I didn’t want to waste the remaining six pieces of the 6×6 sheets of designer paper. So I designed this tiled card layout. I also used the Gold Foil leftover, too!
Now I can’t reveal the exclusive project to you, but if you are going to earn or purchase this video class bundle, just know that with this card design, you won’t have to throw away all that beautiful paper. You can also create a tiled card similar to this by just cutting a 3-1/4″ wide section of this paper and uing the other 2-3/4″ section on either end for something else.
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube and on Facebook step-by-step directions for creating yet a third version of this card with this same suite 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.

I have a new style fun fold card to share with you. I’m calling it the BTW fold which stood for “By The Way” when I originally created it. But BTW could also stand for “Big T W.” And you’ll see why.
I shared this fun fold card during my team event last week and decided to share it with all of you today in the same way — through Mystery Stamping! If you’ve never seen a mystery stamping presentation before, it’s a lot of fun. You create with the supplies in your craft room by following a series of step-by-step clues that are put before you.
So go into your crafting space, play the video below (or click HERE if you do not see the video), and follow my “clues” to try to create something similar to what I’ve already created. Then scroll down to see samples of finished versions of this fun fold card. Thanks for tuning in! Okay…Get ready for some mystery stamping!
I’m assuming if you are scrolling down that you have watched the video. Wasn’t that fun?! I shared three finished card samples in the video. But below is one more.
By the way…the supply list at the end of this post includes some of the main products featured in the cards. These items are linked to where you can find them in my online store. I didn’t list adhesives and tools like I usually do.
Here are the clues I shared in the video (with a “sprinkle of metric measurements” within).
Clue #1: This will be a portrait style card with the initial opening at the bottom. Materials to gather…
Designer Paper that is like artwork you might want to frame on one side and a non-directional subtle pattern on the other side
11″ (29.6 cm) high x 12″ (30.5 cm) wide
Light neutral cardstock (white, vanilla, beige…)
2-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ (6.3 cm x 12.4 cm)
3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″ (8.1 cm x 12.4 cm)
Darker cardstock that stands out against both sides of the designer paper
2-3/4″ x 4-3/4″ (6.9 cm x 13 cm)
3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ (8.7 cm x 13 cm)
(Optional) Another coordinating cardstock (a foil or accent color)
2-5/8″ x 4-5/8″ (6.6 cm x 12.7 cm)
3-3/8″ x 4-5/8″ (8.4 cm x 12.7 cm)
Trimmer w/scoring blade or Simply Scored Tool
Bone Folder
Adhesives
Stamps & Ink
Dies/Machine &/or punches
Embellishments of any kind
Clue #2: Start with your DSP (11″ high x 12″ wide). Score in from each side at 1-3/4” (4.5 cm) and 3-7/8” (10 cm) to get four vertical score lines total. When looking at your DSP with the “artwork” side facing you, let’s call these score lines A, B, C, and D from left to right. Score horizontally half-way at 5-1/2” (14.8 cm). This is now score line E.
Clue #3: Using a Bone Folder to make strong creases…Valley fold at line B, and mountain fold at line A. This should create a z-fold look on the left. Valley fold at line C, and mountain fold at line D. This should create a z-fold look on the right. When these four score lines are folded, your DSP should measure 4-1/4” x 11”.
Clue #4: Using a Bone Folder to make strong creases…Now valley fold at line E. Your DSP should now measure 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” (10.5 cm x 14.8 cm) in its completed folded state.
Clue #5: Position the opening of the card at the bottom and add layers. Add the 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ darker cardstock layer to the front so it’s centered. Add the optional 3-3/8” x 4-5/8” layer. Add the 3-1/4” x 4-1/2” light neutral cardstock layer on top. You may want to stamp, emboss, etc. first before adding this layer. You could even use the extra 1” (.9 cm) strip of DSP to decorate this top layer.
Clue #6: Unfold at score line E but leave the other folds alone so the base now measures 4-1/4” x 11”. Keep in portrait position and add the other layers on the lower half section. Add the 2-3/4″ x 4-3/4″ darker cardstock layer centered so that the adhesive is only under the right half. (We want to be able to still unfold the DSP all the way.) Add the optional 2-5/8″ x 4-5/8” layer. Add the 2-1/2” x 4-1/2” light neutral cardstock layer on top. You may want to stamp, emboss, etc. first before adding this layer. You could even use the extra 1” strip of DSP to decorate this top layer.
Clue #7: Finish adding any sentiments/images, punched out die-cut pieces, inks, accents, ribbons, embellishments, etc. to complete.
And this is my fourth version of this card. The gold curly threads are from a strand of disassembled Gold Trim. I curled them by running my fingernail across them.
I colored the birds, berries and branches with the Night of Navy and Wild Wheat inks and a Blender Pen. I also accented with a bit of Wink of Stella. But that is hard to see in this photo.
I absolutely LOVE the Gold Mercury Vellum layers peeking out! It’s just the right amount of shine AND adds a bit of interest.
This Regal Winter Designer Paper is just stunning! Right?!
Be sure to watch the video to see the full insides and outsides of these three other cards.
Thanks for stopping by to see what I had to share today. If you enjoyed this, I’d love to know. Maybe I can share other mystery stamping videos/projects in the future.

Summer is my favorite season. And I’m sad to see the warm weather going away. So with my mind on the activities of a hot August afternoon at the lake, I put together a dragonfly birthday card using summer colors and images.
Then I made multiples of this card to send to those in my Stampers With ART group with September and October birthdays. I tend to make fall cards for Autumn birthdays. But I don’t think anyone will mind getting a little glimmering dragonfly card this year instead.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this card with the Happiest Day Stamp Set, the So Swirly 3D Embossing Folder, inks with Blending Brushes and Daubers, the Modern Oval Punch, Festive Glimmer Paper, Stampin’ Blends Markers, Wink of Stella, and other coordinating products from Stampin’ Up!®. 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.
