Welcome to our All Star monthly blog hop for the Nests of Winter Suite! We are excited to share even MORE ideas than what we are offering in our exclusive Video Class Bundle this month.
The Nests of Winter is one of my favorite suites in the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. So you can image how happy I am that it’s the featured suite this month in our All Star group. In fact I’m so in love with this suite that I’ve created my yearly Stampers With ART team holiday/appreciation cards with it. It’s taking me a bit more time than I anticipated to get these cards done, but I’m hoping to send one to each person in my team within the week. Hopefully no one will be sad if they catch this post first, because it’s this card that I’m sharing with you all today.
I used the stamps, dies, and designer paper from the Nests of Winter Suite, the Painted Trees Embossing Folder with the Pool Party Two-Toned Cardstock and buffer/sanding blocks, the Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon, and more to create a Hidden Scenery Z-Fold Card.
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube and on Facebook step-by-step directions for creating this card. 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.

New Online Exclusives products are debuting on November 5th. So I decided to create with a few of them to make a simple but stunning birthday card.
So today during my Online Paper Crafting Class I’m sharing a card I made with a few of those new products. AND I’m showing off even more products that are going to be available next week.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this card with the Cake Celebrations Stamp Set, the Cake Celebrations Dies, the Brushed Gold Foil, some White Glimmer Paper, and other coordinating 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 that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
Products… See below for a complete list of products I used for the card. Most of them are linked to where you can find them in my online store. Those that are debuting November 5th are not linked directly since they are not available yet. But I added a link to the section of the online store where you will find them next week.
Click here to access and download a printable “measurements & supplies” sheet.
Measurements…
Basic White Thick Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4”

The new Color Coach (also available November 5th) is an amazing tool for coming up with eye-catching color combinations. You may want to add that to your wish list too.
The inside has more of that pretty cake!
I mention in the video that tying a bow with the thin strands may be frustrating. If so, just keep the trim intact.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared today!

The cards I’m sharing today are peeks at the alternates that I created with one set of card supplies from the popular Hello Hollyhocks Kits Collection Kit. This kit contains supplies for 3 sets of 3 cards. So for my October 26th Kit Together event (held just a few hours ago) I mailed each participant 1/3 of this kit. And from that we created six unique and pretty cards which I’m sharing throughout this post.
Event attendees joined together virtually on Zoom for 2 hours of fun and creativity. I demonstrated step-by-step how to make these six cards using those materials they each received from me. But we also took time to socialize, laugh & have fun, and work on our own kits or other projects. It was like a mini retreat. Oh!…And there were prize drawings at the end. It was a super fun event!
Not everyone that registered could attend the Live Zoom gathering today. But a perk to registering is access to a recording of the demonstration AND to the instructional PDF.
The instructions, tips, and measurements are exclusive for those that took part in the event. But I at least wanted to share these peek photos of the cards I demonstrated to give you a little creative inspiration today AND to entice you to sign up for a future kit together. It’s well worth it… exclusive make-n-takes and instruction, prizes, ordering specials, time set aside to craft with others and work on your own kits, and just plain fun!
Because we made six cards from the supplies of three, we had to add in a bit of extra cardstock, envelopes and embellishments. AND we had to add sentiment imagery from an outside set. Again, I’m not sharing that supply list, but I will share that the extra stamp set I recommended (and used in my samples) is Wonderful Thoughts. It’s a great set with lots of varied word images and one that I use quite often.
Want to see more ideas with this kit? Visit my 8/14/24 post: Card Candy Creations & New Product Peeks! to see what fellow team members Brenda Georgi, Candace Johnson, Nancy Forsberg, and Nancy McKenzie created.
I’m excited to host another Kit Together and am looking at the weekend of February 22nd/23rd. If you’d like to take part, make sure that you are subscribed to my newsletters so you will be the first to get notices. (Both my April 2024 class and this October 2024 class filled up within just a few days of registration opening. I didn’t even have time to advertise it on my blog.)
Though this post didn’t share the details of these cards, I hope you got some creative inspiration AND will consider signing up for one of my future Kit Togethers. Thanks for stopping by!

My October Paper Pumpkin kit arrived, and I just designed my first set of alternate projects using the contents of this beautiful kit and a bit of other coordinating product! I’ll share most of them today. But one of them I’m keeping exclusive to contribute to the collection of exclusives my new Paper Pumpkin Creatives Team is currently compiling…projects we will share just with our personal Paper Pumpkin subscribers and team members (more details below).
Here are the consumable supplies (minus the stamp set and ink) that come with this kit.
This kit has enough supplies to make ten fun fold cards – five each of two different kinds. Do you want to make the cards as intended? Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video.
But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show kit recipients 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’m sharing with you how you can triple the cards from your kit by creating six cards with the supplies from two. I’m also sharing a shaker card and a couple book treat boxes.
Watch my videohere to get 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 be sure 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 projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
**Products that I’ve shared or mentioned are shown/listed below and are currently linked to my online store.
Six Cards From the Supplies of Two (Triple the Kit!)

Cardinal Book Treat Box
Chickadee Book Treat Box
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. It 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.
