One of my newer bundles, Everyday Arches has been my “obsession” these past few days. I was planning to just create one card, but my mind kept going in many directions. I have five fully finished cards to share in my video today (one that I will walk through completely and four that I will share specific helpful tips for). I have photos, measurements, a supply list, and a PDF for the main card and then photos, and an extra list of products for the additional supplies needed for those cards.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago all this information for these cards that I made with the Everyday Arches Stamp Set & Dies, Everyday Skies Paper, and other coordinating Stampin’ Up! 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.

Have you ever made a card from a bag? I decided to try it and I’m in love with the results.
The fun fold card is made from the larger bag. So I also made a matching treat holder with the smaller bag. (These gift bags are sold together and are part of the suite. But you can buy them separately.)
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube and on Facebook step-by-step directions for creating these card & treat bag sets. 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.
(Though my card & bag sets are related to love and Valentine’s Day, you could change out the patterned papers, colors, sentiments, etc and create card/bag combos for many other occasions. Create and then share YOUR versions in our Stamp Your Art Out Group on Facebook.)

Here are photos of the finished cards that I made from the largest of the bags. Closed they measure 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″.
And open they measure about 14″ wide!
Here are photos of the finished treat bags that I made from the smallest of the bags.
When the flaps of the bags are shut, the bag shape will be more like a purse (in the shape of a triangular prism). So keep that in mind when planning what you’ll put inside. The base measures about 1-3/4″ x 3-1/4″. The height is about 3-1/2″.
Decorating the envelopes is optional, but so much fun!

My December Paper Pumpkin kit arrived Wednesday afternoon, and I designed my first set of alternate projects yesterday using the contents of this card kit and a bit of other coordinating product! I’ll share three ideas today. I’ll share more on January 10th for the “A Paper Pumpkin Thing.” And one more idea I’m keeping exclusive to contribute to the collection of exclusives my 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 9 beautiful cards (3 of 3 kinds). Do you want to make them 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 three fun fold cards.
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.
Bend Open Pocket Card
(This is the one I demonstrated in the live video.)
Split Window Card
(This is the one I demonstrated in the live video. I ended up trimming both sides to equal out the look and “correct” my mistake.)
SquareColumn Fold Card
(This is the one I demonstrated in the live video for those who don’t own a die-cutting and embossing machine.)
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. (The refill typically shows up in the online store soon after the 20th.) 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.

Attention scrapbookers & wanna-be scrapbookers! I’ve added in another Online Paper Crafting Class today. And I’d like to invite you to join in. Today I’m sharing three alternate page layouts that I designed using the contents of the Reindeer Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit.
I wanted a bit more contrasting color in my layouts than the kit layouts had. So I added in some extra cardstock: White Willow & Real Red (already in the kit, but wanted more) and Early Espresso and I came up with three different page layouts. You can certainly follow the kit directions and recreate the intended pages. But with my designs I’m sharing today, you have other options.
Other than the extra cardstock, all the consumable supplies came from this kit.
Watch my videohere to get measurements, step-by-step directions, and tips for creating these layouts with this kit. Or you can just click on this image below if you are already in my blog post. (If you are catching this post right away, you might even be able to join in on the Live broadcast taking place at 10 AM Central Time.)

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 December 2024 Regal Winter 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 Marbled Elegance Suite from the Online Exclusives products will be available January 1st.
I created a card recently with the new Ocean Friends Bundle and Soft Waves Embossing Folder (products that will be debuting in the upcoming January-April 2025 Mini Catalog – request your copy if you haven’t done so already) and shared it in an exclusive demonstrator event hosted by fellow demonstrator, Kevin Theesen. I wanted to share it with all of you, too. But many of you are not fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrators and still need to wait until January 7th before you can order these new products.
So I also created a couple similar cards using the same sort of base products and colors but with featured stamps, dies, and embossing folders that are current and available now. These two other cards show off some fun inking techniques that you can do with our water-based Stampin’ Write Markers. And all of the cards feature a fun background you can get with Wink of Stella and Spritzers.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these Full Panel Z-Fold cards with the Sophisticated Sled, Beauty of the Deep, and Ocean Friends Bundles. 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 I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
