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.

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.

I have my first set of alternate Paper Pumpkin projects ready to share! And though I adore these kits and am always energized to create with them, I had an extra little excitement when creating with this September 2024 Autumn Abundance kit because of a new creative collaboration I am now a part of. (Scroll down to read more about this.) In fact, my kit arrived Wednesday, and I’ve already come up with nine projects – five of which I am sharing today.
Here are the consumable supplies (minus the stamp set and ink) that come with this kit.
This kit has enough supplies to make nine cards – three of these three 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 four different cards (all fun folds) and a scrapbook page layout that I created.
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.)
Thinking of You Z-Fold Card
Fall Leaves Matchbook Fold Card
Thankful 12×12 Scrapbook Page Layout
I copied measurements from when I shared this layout in the Paper Pumpkin Fan Club. Hopefully that makes creating easier. (Normally I don’t share written measurements because of all the different projects. Be sure to watch the video to get full directions, measurements, and tips for everything shown here.)

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.

Today’s card is featuring the Citrus Blooms leafy frame die, but in a different configuration. It’s also a card with a vellum base layer…SOOOo fun!
I put together my card base first so it was ready. I cut my vellum to 4-1/4″ by 6-1/2″. Then I scored 1″ down, creased this section, then attached it over the top back of the Smoky Slate 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ base layer. Next I adhered a 2″ white circle to the Smoky Slate layer marking the middle and creating a small inside section where the card can be signed.
After die-cutting the frame, I placed it on my Media Grip Mat on my Glass Mat. The die-cut frame held in place really well! So at this point I was able to using my Blending Brushes and add my green inks. The frame stayed in place the entire time. And I was able to just rinse the ink off the Media Grip Mat when I was done.
Next I cut half-way through each side of this frame piece and brought all the corners together in the middle to make more of a cross shape. I adhered each of these “corners” to my vellum card front using sponged on Multipurpose Glue making sure the glue was evenly added across each section of each layer AND making sure everything was level and coming together in the middle of the white circle underneath.
I trimmed off an excess on the sides and then prepared the remaining pieces. I heat embossed two white sentiments onto punched out black circles. And I cut out a bunch of single vellum leaves and tiny purple flowers.
After adhering a few vellum leaves where they would look best, I added my front black sentiment circle with Dimensionals making sure it aligned and covered the white circle showing through from the inside. Then I added my inside black sentiment circle with Seal making sure it aligned and covered the black circle showing through from the front.
Then I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots and connected several purple flowers and a few Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
As you can see it’s a card with not a lot of space to write, but it definitely is a artsy and eye-catching.
A card made with a vellum base is always intriguing and unique, but can be tricky to assemble. When designing, you have to keep in mind that anything you put on the front may be seen from the inside. AND anything you put on the inside may be seen from the front. So you have to keep the front, the underside of the front, and the inside ALL in mind the whole time.
I hope you were able to gain some creative inspiration from what I shared today. Have a great week!

Welcome to our All Star monthly blog hop for the Unbounded Beauty Suite! We are excited to share even MORE ideas than what we are offering in our exclusive Video Class Bundle this month.
I’ve created this “die art” empathy card using every product in this suite collection. If you know what punch art is, then you know why I’m calling it die art. Both are basically the art of using shapes to make new unintended images.
For reference this post from 4/9/23 shows ways to create a bunny and a bee using the now retired Ladybug Punch. And an FYI…I did die-art for my video class project, too! So you’ll want to get your hands on that bundle.
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube and on Facebook step-by-step directions for creating this card with the suite products 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.
Click here to access and download a printable “measurements & supplies” sheet.
Measurements…
Basic White Thick Cardstock
4-1/4” x 11” scored parallel to the short side at 5-1/2”
Petunia Pop Glimmer Paper
(2) 3/4” x 4-1/4”
Scrap for punching heart
Unbounded Beauty Designer Paper (background)
(2) 1” x 4”
Unbounded Beauty Designer Paper (peach)
Here are more photos of the unique card. Dimensionals are such a great adhesive. That small amount of lift gives just the right amount of shadow.
Here is the inside which is pretty plain. But I still thought I should share. Feel free to fancy it up a bit.
Did you get your hands on this month’s bundle of video classes featuring products in the Unbounded Beauty Suite? Each month’s Video Class Bundle includes photos, imperial and metric measurements, complete product lists, and links to instructional videos for twelve projects designed by our team of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world. And they are exclusive to those who earn them or purchase them.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared!

Here is a close-up of the Blackberry Bliss & Pretty In Pink box. I used full Pretty In Pink ink to stamp the large heart on the white house. This punched house is layered onto a punched Pretty In Pink house and then added to the top of the box with Dimensionals. A small Blackberry Bliss heart is glued onto the center of the stamped heart. And I added a Blackberry Bliss Regal Foiled Dot.
And here is a close-up of the Night of Navy & Boho Blue box. I used stamped off Boho Blue ink for the large heart on the white house (notice the house is flipped the other direction this time?). This punched house is layered onto a punched Boho Blue house and then added to the top of the box with Dimensionals. The small heart in the middle is Night of Navy with a Night of Navy Regal Foiled Dot.
