I have an adorable treat/gift box to share with you today. Paired with the Little Debbie Unicorn Cakes, this box is a fun Valentine idea if you are looking for something to still share with your special loved ones. Don’t worry about owning all the products (although you could certainly expedite an order). You can apply the directions to cardstock, designer paper, and accents you already own.
Where did this inspiration come from? On January 30th, Nancy Forsberg & Kayla Cory from StampingBAE demonstrated how to make a cute box during our Stampers With ART team party. We all prepared our supplies ahead of time based on the list Nancy & Kayla shared. Then during the event these two showed us all step-by-step how to put their intended version of the project together. Good news!! Soon after they also shared publicly! Visit their February 1st blog post for photos, measurements, and their instructional video.
This is the one I created after their team party demonstration. And yep…I went out and bought those Little Debbie Unicorn Cakes, too! I used the supplies listed below. (These products I used are linked to where you can find them in my online store.)
Measurements…
Berry Burst Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to the short side at 1-1/4″, 6-1/2″, and 7-3/4″ and then scored parallel to the long side at 1-1/4″, 2-1/2″, 3-3/4″, and 5″ (then cut and assembled according to the directions shared in Nancy & Kayla’s video)
Delightful Floral Designer Paper
(4) 1” x 5”
(2) 1″ x 1″
Basic White Cardstock
3/8” x 2-1/8”
Scraps for stamping and die-cutting leaves and flowers
Watch Nancy & Kayla’s video for the instruction for the box. Then keep reading for the specific details for the one I made and shared here.
For my floral accents, I inked and stamped the two flowers onto the Basic White scrap paper (one with Calypso Coral ink, the other with Berry Burst ink). I inked the leaves with a combination of two inks. First I inked the stamps with Parakeet Party ink. Then I used a Dauber and added Pretty Peacock ink at the base of the leaf images. Then I exhaled on the inked stamps to remoisten the ink, and stamped the images onto more Basic White scrap paper.
After die-cutting the images, I curled these pieces a bit with the Bone Folder tool and attached them at the base of the box using Seal, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, and Dimensionals.
After stamping the sentiment with Berry Burst ink onto the Basic White strip, I trimmed the ends and added it to the box using Dimensionals.
Then I embellished with Iridescent Rhinestones.
Don’t forget to add the treat before gifting the box. Sweet idea. Right!?
I love my Precision Tip Glue Bottles! I’ve really found it much easier to add Multipurpose Liquid Glue to those intricate, detailed, and tiny pieces in my paper crafting projects now that I have some of that glue in these bottles.
Many of you have purchased these bottles using the link in My Favorite Extras. I’m glad you are also enjoying the ease they provide in paper crafting!
But occasionally I get the question…”How do you add the glue without it getting all over?” So I made this short tips video that I hope you will find useful.

#APaperPumpkinThing Welcome to our monthly APPT blog hop to showcase Paper Pumpkin kit alternate projects! This time we are highlighting the January 2024 Lovely LavenderPaper Pumpkin kit. See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop for additional creative ideas my fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator friends shared. To follow the hop and see these other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of the other hop participants. (If you are receiving this blog post by email, click HERE to see the hop.)
Here are the intended cards/projects designed for this January 2024 Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit. (Click here for a link to 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 January 24th.
A Star Column Pedestal Card
Four Torn Border Cards
And…A Shaker Valentine Card
Today I am sharing…
A Landscape Card featuring the Love of Spring Dies
A Valentine Bouquet Card
AND…Two 12×12 Love-Themed Scrapbook Pages also featuring the Love of Spring Dies
The dies are definitely the “stars” on this first card where I cut the leaves from a scrap of Shaded Spruce Cardstock and the “Love” from a scrap of Blackberry Bliss Cardstock. The only other added product outside of the kit is a sheet of folded 4-1/4″ x 11″ Basic White for the card base. My floral layer is from a card in the kit. I cut it to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8.” And after wrapping and tying my 32″ of twine, I added that layer with Dimensionals. (The small stamped “WITH” is also added with Dimensionals.) And to give dimension to my leaves I curled them with a Bone Folder before tucking and adding them to the card.
See below for a complete list of extra products I used on all three projects. The products are linked to where you can find them in my online store.
My second card (also with a Basic White card base) involves a bit more stamping. I stamped the inside of the card and the front white strip with stamps from the kit. I also stamped the branch of leaves image a few times on the 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ purple envelope paper layer. The color is very subtle because I stamped onto scrap paper once or twice to lighten the ink first. After stamping I added the green leaves, then the purple flowers with Dimensionals, then the sentiment strip. I finished the card by tying on about 12″ of twine to the left stem of the purple flowers.
The floral and/or watercolor purple square layers measure 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ and all come from one of the kit card bases. I cut a slit in this one shown below so I could tuck in and attach the leaves (Notice I’m cutting directly on my Glass Mat? I love this thing!).
The green leaves are from the kit, but the purpleish ones (and the “love”) are cut from the Berry Burst Holographic Specialty Paper using the Love of Spring Dies.
For the bouquets I added the bottom floral 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ squares with Dimensionals. Then I tucked and attached the green leaves and flowers. OH! I almost forgot. I have 3 groups of green leaves. I got three by cutting the largest one from the kit into two pieces.
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today! If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own.

Home décor samplers are quite popular right now. They are a fun way to make more than just a card. The idea is to create lots of coordinating pieces with fun layers and elements, and then arrange them together on a flat background (often times within a frame) to hang on the wall or prop on a shelf or mantle.
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube and on Facebook step-by-step directions for creating this sampler with the Perennial Lavender Suite of products and how to adapt these elements to even make photo pages OR greeting cards! 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… a complete list of products I used is shown below, and everything is linked to where you can find them in my online store.

And here are photos of the note cards I shared with a couple of the sampler elements…
…and then with the pieces laying on top of the pages I have for you in my 2/9/24 blog post, what it would all look like if you decided to take the elements and create a 12×12 photo page layout with them.

I have my January 2024 Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit in hand, and I’m ready to demonstrate for you my first set of alternate projects that I’ve created!
For those of you not familiar with our kits, they come with all the supplies you need AND directions for assembling the kit cards/projects as designed. Here are the intended cards/projects designed for this January 2024 Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit. (Click here for a link to Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble these as intended.)
But I like to take the supplies from the kits and create other things…think outside the box. This way I can show how to stretch the kits in new ways. A kit that you may have not been a fan of might all of a sudden be more attractive (or a favorite) because of a new way of using the supplies!
And I’m sharing my first alternates with you today. Even if you didn’t get this kit, I hope the ideas I share can be applied to other products you own, and I hope what I share inspires your creativity!
Watch my video first by clicking here to get the measurements, directions, and tips (or you can just click on the 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 everything.
Here are close-up photos of the alternate cards I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch first to get measurements, tips and directions.)

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

I just recently started noticing a special fun fold card out there shared by a few different paper crafters on YouTube. And I decided I wanted to design a simpler flatter version that would fit into the medium (A2 size) envelopes that Stampin’ Up!® offers. I wanted it flatter so that it could possibly even be mailed with a one-ounce stamp. AND I wanted it simpler so it would be quicker to put together.
Well I’m proud to say I did it! My version is made from two long sheets of designer paper and is 4” x 5-1/2” when flattened to enclose in an envelope! So there is no more need to create six individual diamond-shaped sections that need to be glued together.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these Star Column cards with the Most Adored Designer Paper (available only for a limited time), the Heartfelt Hexagon Stamp Set & coordinating punch, and other 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.
(2) 5-1/2” x 11” scored parallel to the short at ½”, 1 ½”, 2 ½”, 3 ½”, 4 ½”, 5 ½”, 6 ½”, 7 ½”, 8 ½”, 9 ½”, 10 ½”1” x 5 ½”(4) 1” x 2” scored halfway at 1”
(4) ½” x 1” scored halfway at ½”
Cardstock (Basic White or Real Red)
Scraps for stamping & punching labels
Gold Foil
(2) 2” circles (optional)
Remember…this Most Adored Designer Paper is only available while supplies last and is part of the exclusive 2024 Sale-a-Bration offerings. So to get your hands on this free product, be sure to place a qualifying order soon. See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

I hope you enjoyed what I demonstrated today! I had fun sharing.

Today I’ve got a fun fold card to share that actually came together in a unique way. My team member, Amy Rudd was in charge of leading the make-n-take project for our last team event. She shared her drawings and measurement information with me ahead of time. I guess I didn’t fully understand what she was explaining though, because the sample card I ended up creating and sharing during the event was slightly different. Hahaha!
Since that team event I’ve seen a few other cards out there that are similar to mine (stair step cards) but require a bit more cardstock. I wanted to keep my 11″ length, BUT I also wanted the back to prop up as part of the whole scene. So I altered it more and added an easel. I also decided to name it a “mountain fold” because of the peeks and “display” because the easel allows it to stay upright.
I’m traveling with my son Luke right now. (We are in Los Angeles, CA.) So I wasn’t able to be live today for my Online Paper Crafting Class. Instead I pre-recorded a video for this unique card and shared it on YouTube and Facebook. I used products from the new Bee Mine Suite from Stampin’ Up!’s Jan-April 2024 Mini Catalog which just debuted January 4, 2023.
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 hope you enjoyed what I shared.
