One of the newer kits in the Kits Collection by Stampin’ Up! is the Cozy & Bright kit which features enough supplies to make 12 festive holiday cards with classic pine, cinnamon, and orange designs. I couldn’t help myself… In a goal to stretch the kit to make even more cards I was able to triple the cards from the kit with these sets of designs. If you want to do the same, you could pick one of these three sets or make ALL of them. Each set of three is made from one card and one envelope from the kit. So all together I got these nine cards from three kit cards.
Set One…
Set Two…
Set Three…
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements For Set #1
Basic White Cardstock
(2) 4-1/4” x 11″ scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
Soft Sea Foam Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”
Kit envelope
Cut to 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″
Kit card
Cut card in half down the middle, then cut the design and the back at 2-3/4″ to get 4 equal size pieces. Cut each of those to 4-1/8″ wide paying attention to where the cuts are going on the designs.
Linen Thread
10″
Distressed Gold Specialty Paper
Scraps for punching trees
Tips…
Add one 2-3/4″ x 4-1/8″ solid green piece and one 2-3/4″ x 4-1/8″ printed design piece to each card. But tear a long edge of the solid one before attaching.
Punch a row of trees and then trim up what you need. If your sentiment is longer, you may want more than just 3 trees.
You can use the kit scraps from the punched out pieces, left over envelope scraps, or even Basic White cardstock to make the 5/8″ tall sentiment strips. I stamped those, trimmed them at an angle, and added them with Dimensionals.
Wrap the cinnamon sticks with Linen Thread. Add the orange, and then add the sticks with Dimensionals.
For the third card stamp the sentiment, then add the printed envelope piece with Dimensionals.
Stamp the insides of the cards if you wish.

Linen Thread

Distressed Gold Specialty Paper

(2) 3/4″ x 4-1/4″
Tips…
You can use the kit scraps from the punched out pieces, left over envelope scraps, or even Basic White cardstock to make the 5/8″ or 3/4″ tall sentiment strips.
Add the solid green piece to a white card base. Then add a stamped sentiment strip.
Layer the punched leaves behind the small orange. Wrap the cinnamon sticks with Linen Thread. Add the orange, and add the sticks with Dimensionals. Then add one more star anise tucked into the left corner.
For the second card add the printed green piece to a white card base. Add the large orange and star anise. Then add a stamped sentiment strip with Dimensionals.
For the third card stamp the sentiment, attach this envelope piece to the gold strips, then add the printed envelope layered piece to the front.
Stamp the insides of the cards if you wish.

Kit card
Cut card in half down the middle, then cut the solid half at 2-3/4″ to get two pieces that measure 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″. Cut the printed into two pieces the long way to get a piece that measures 1-7/8″ x 5-1/2″ and a piece that measures 2-3/8″ x 5-1/2″

Add the large orange to the larger printed base, and trim off the excess for the second card. After folding the z-fold base, add the printed pieces. Wrap the cinnamon sticks with Linen Thread and attach with Dimensionals. Stamp the inside sentiment.
For the second card layer the punched leaves behind the small orange. Add the leftover orange section and the smaller orange to a solid green layer.
You can use the kit scraps from the punched out pieces, left over envelope scraps, or even Basic White cardstock to make the 5/8″ tall sentiment strip. Add it with a Dimensional. Then add a large star anise with a Dimensional and small star anise.
For the third card stamp the sentiment, then add the printed envelope piece to the other solid green layer. Add it to the card with Dimensionals.
Stamp the insides of the cards if you wish.

Oh! Paper Pumpkin monthly subscription kits are so much fun! And I’m excited to share with you today my first set of alternate projects I created with this month’s Spooky Treats kit!
This kit contained the supplies shown below to make 18 Halloween-themed treat containers.
But I never assemble my kits as is, because I like to show subscribers other ways to use those 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 to turn the supplies for the 18 treat containers into 36
Six Halloween cards made from one set of kit supplies
Three non-Halloween treat boxes

Then be sure to visit my blog again soon, because I have many more alternate projects that I’ll be sharing on October 7th.
Here are the treat boxes the kit instructs how to make. (Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)

Through the month of September, six sets of dies are being made available through the Perfect Partners promotion. These six die sets coordinate with six stamp sets from the 2022-23 Annual Catalog. I featured the Apple Harvest stamp set with the coordinating limited-time Apple Blossoms dies from this promotion on August 20th. If you missed that pop-out bendy fun-fold card, be sure to click here to check it out.
Today I’m sharing the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set with the coordinating limited-time Fresh Cut Stems dies. I’ve paired them together with the Go To Greetings stamp set, Rose Gold specialty papers and coordinating embellishments to make a set of “Thinking of You” note cards.
Here are the notecards. I made 3 variations. If making 20 cards total, you could make them all the same or make a variety like I did…7 of two styles and 6 of the other.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
(20) Scrap for stamping and die-cutting floral image
(20) 3″ x 4-1/2″ (for the inside of the card)
Rose Gold Specialty Paper
(20) Scrap for die-cutting branch
If making just one card, follow the card measurements above and do not cut pieces for the gift box (measurements are below). If making a set of 20 cards, be sure to cut 20 of each measurements above.
Card Directions…
Stamp (with Garden Green or Sahara Sand) and die-cut floral image. Color with Blends Markers:
blue: Crumb Cake, Old Olive & Balmy Blue Blends Markers
red: Crumb Cake & Sweet Sorbet Blends Markers (leaves are colored by using a Blending Pen and drawing out the Garden Green ink from the stamped image)
Stamp (with Garden Green or Sahara Sand) sentiment on Basic White strip.
Die-cut branch and adhere the die-floral to the branch so the branch peeks out on the left. Embellish the flower center with a jewel:
pink paired with iridescent Rose Gold sheet: Iridescent Rhinestone
blue paired with matte Rose Gold sheet: copper Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dot
red paired with metallic Rose Gold sheet: Champagne Rhinestone
Add the floral layered piece before or after adding the sentiment strip.
Add the inside white layer.
BoxMeasurements (in addition to the already precut Kraft Storage Box)…
Basic White Cardstock
Scrap for stamping and punching sentiment
Rose Gold Specialty Paper
Scraps for die-cutting flowers
Basic White Crinkled Seam Binding
8”
Box Directions…
Die-cut one flower from each of the three Rose Gold Specialty Papers. Add each to the box lid with one Glue Dot in the center. The Stampin’ Up! Glue Dots are wide enough and small enough to just fit under the center rings of the die-cut flowers. Then embellish the flower centers with coordinating jewels:
iridescent sheet with Iridescent Rhinestone
matte sheet with copper Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dot
metallic sheet with Champagne Rhinestone
Stamp and punch sentiment. Add it with Dimensionals.
Tie a bow in the ribbon and add it with a Glue Dot.
Thanks for stopping by to see what I had to share today. On Wednesday during my Live at 11:00 AM Central Time on YouTube and on Facebook I’ll be sharing some note cards “with dimension” with the This Birthday Piggy stamp set and the coordinating limited-time Playful Piggy dies. Join me if you can.

After creating the cards I shared on Wednesday, I used one of the leftover Stylish Shapes stamped circles and put together this simple and sweet birthday card. The colors of the Adhesive-Backed Sequins & Gems led the way for the colors I used in the card. And though the main image is the bird sitting on the sentiment, I couldn’t help but glitz up that adorable birdhouse.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Coastal Cabana Cardstock
4-1/4” x 11″ scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
Basic White Cardstock
Scraps for die-cutting 2-5/8″ x 5″ stitched rectangle and 2-1/8″ diameter stitched circle
4” x 5-1/4” (for the inside)
Directions
After die-cutting and preparing the cardstock, use the Gray Granite ink to stamp the birdhouse about 1″ from the top and about 1/4″ from the left onto the vertical rectangle piece. Stamp the string connected above, then stamp the branch above that (and a bit below the house in the left lower corner). Color the leaves with Parakeet Party Blends Markers.
Use the Fresh Freesia ink to stamp the “birthday wishes” sentiment and the Gray Granite ink to stamp the bird on the circle, and color the bird with the Dark Pool Party and Light Bermuda Bay Blends Markers.
Apply some Parakeet Party ink in the lower right of the birdhouse layer so it will “glow” under the circle.
Use the Fresh Freesia ink to stamp the inside sentiment layer. Then add this layer to the inside with Seal Adhesive and the stitched layers to the outside with Dimensionals.
Embellish with the sequins/gems.
Have a wonderful weekend! And thanks for visiting today to see my latest creation.

We had one of our online team gatherings last night via Zoom. And for these gatherings I email out a sketch challenge in the invite ahead of time. Many of us create cards based on that sketch challenge and then share them during the team gathering. I found this one on Pinterest. It originated from https://tsgclearstamps.blogspot.com/
It’s so fun to see what everyone comes up with. I used some current favorite products and created cards with this sketch challenge, too.
In fact I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for my versions of this sketch challenge using the Garden Birdhouses Stamp Set, Splendid Day Designer Paper, the Timber Embossing Folder, fun coordinating colors of cardstock & embellishments, and Stampin’ Blends. 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.
