I gave you the heads up a couple days ago that I was going to share with you cards from my Silver Elite Retreat that I hosted the weekend of January 17-19. Today is when I’m presenting the first of those two sets of cards. One is an interactive “faker shaker” card (so fun and easy to make), and the other four I would consider “fun-fold” cards. And they all feature the fabulous products from one of the most popular suites in the new January-April 2025 Mini Catalog.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these cards with those products from the Wildflower Birthday Suite and other coordinating Stampin’ Up! product. And now Iām 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 usedā¦ See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

My January Paper Pumpkin kit arrived last night. Yep! I’m not one of the subscribers lucky enough to get my kits early. š¤£ Thankfully my friends Nancy & Kayla loaned me one of theirs so I could get a head start. I designed my first set of alternate projects on Monday using the contents of this card kit and a bit of other coordinating product. I’m sharing those with you today. Then I’ll share more on February 7th for the “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop. Please be sure to visit again. Then I create and share one more idea which I contribute to the collection of exclusives that my Paper Pumpkin Creatives Team is currently compiling. I share these freely with my Paper Pumpkin subscribers and team members and will be offering them for purchase on February 1st here in my Tutorials for Sale page.
Here are the consumable supplies (minus the stamp set and ink) that come with this kit.
This kit has enough supplies to make 9 Valentine-themed cards (3 of 3 kinds). Do you want to make them as intended? Click hereĀ for a link to Stampinā Up!ās 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 Iām sharing with you two card ideas and a treat idea in case you want to use the supplies for classroom or co-worker Valentines.
Watch my videohereĀ to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (or you can just click on this image below if you are alreadyĀ 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 toĀ 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 Iāll 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.
Lindt Chocolate Valentine Treats You can make 18 using the foil stickers and another 8 more by fussy cutting other hearts if you want to use up all the sparkly heart embellishments.
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.

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.

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 Iām 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!
Did you get your hands on this monthās bundle of video classes? Each monthās 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 Stampinā Up! demonstrators from around the world. And they are exclusive to those who earn them or purchase them.

It’s Show & Share Day! I’ve received quite a few stamped greeting cards & gifts from my paper crafting friends since my last Show-n-Share Live on 11/2/24. And I’m super excited to share them with you all today. My hope is that you’ll gain lots of creative inspiration & ideas. Did you send me one of your cards recently? If so, then you may see it in today’s Live presentation.
Plus as a bonus I have cards to show you in this Live from our latest team swap that took place on 12/29/24! The theme was new products from the January-February 2025 Sale-a-Bration brochure (which is debuting January 7th)!
