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 February 2024 Perennial Lavender Suite Video Class Bundle which is now available.

I designed and put together twenty using a half pack of the M&M cards and shared them at my Silver Elite Retreat. Then I gave everyone supplies to create the same ones. Paper crafters love to be creative though. So many made variations of my designs.
After scrolling through the photos of my 20 card designs, keep going to see the variations from Vy Tran, Kayla Cory, and Margo Tessman (my mom).
The only extra product we added into the card designs were either 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ or 3-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ layers of Basic White Cardstock. The 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ Basic White was used for layers under the 3″ x 4″ Sweet Thoughts cards and for inside layers. The 3-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ Basic White was used for inside layers. And then I used tools and adhesives of course.
I love how Dimensionals create shadow. Below I added Dimensionals under the butterfly layer on the left card and under the Basic White layer (AND under the birthday sticker) on the right card. Oh! That’s a fun bonus…the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards come with sheets of coordinating stickers. So you don’t need to add in any outside ribbons, embellishments or stamps to fancy up your creations.
On these next two cards I added Dimensionals under the Basic White layer on this “Dream Big” card and under the M&M card layer with the card on the right. Then I added some stickers from the M&M card pack as decorations on the insides.
Here I added Dimensionals under the Love You Forever layer on the left card and under the Basic White layer on the right card.
For these two I added Dimensionals under the Basic White layer on this “Love” card and under the M&M card layer with the card on the right. I also added some stickers from the M&M card pack as decorations on the outsides and insides.
The landscape card on the left with the 4″ x 6″ M&M card has no Dimensionals. The one on the right has them under the Basic White layer. I added the copper sticker with the word smile to the paintbrush sticker, then trimmed it up before adding it to the inside of the card. The sticker on the inside of the landscape card is one flower that was cut into two pieces.
These two are quite simple…no Dimensionals & only one sticker added to the inside of one of the cards.
This “Hello Beautiful” card also uses no Dimensionals. But the butterfly one I turned into an easel card by adding an extra score/fold half-way through the card base front at 2-1/8″ and attaching the butterfly M&M card only to the lower half so it can prop up behind the My Heart sticker that was attached with Dimensionals to the inside.
These cards below also got an extra score line at 2-1/8″ to make them into z-fold cards. I added the Basic White layers to the insides first to make it easier to line up when adding the layers on the front. The blue card has no Dimensionals. The “world” card has them between the M&M card layer and the Basic White layer.
This “sunshine” card is similar to the “world” card above. For the “paintbrush” card I added Dimensionals between the M&M card and the Basic White layer. And on the inside I added two stickers strategically to cover the words that were on the floral & lined M&M layer.
This top card is super simple…Dimensionals under the M&M floral card, and then two added stickers (the “hello” and the flower on the inside).
The second one involves a bit more thinking though. I cut the 4″ x 6″ M&M card just to the left of the white vertical stripe. Then I attached just that right portion to the card base keeping the left portion lined up to help center it all on the front. I removed the left portion, trimmed the front to separate the right side from the left just where the right layer ends, and added flower sticker on the left front to represent asterisks before each word. And then I adhered the right side completely down, opened the left and adhered the remaining left portion of that M&M card to the inside. And I finished it all off with the “you are” sticker.
I also shared these cards in my Show-n-Tell Live that aired on Facebook and YouTube Saturday if you want to watch that. And I shared cards I’ve been gifted lately PLUS new product peeks!
Now I’d like to show you some of the variations of these Memories & More cards that were made by those who attended my Silver Elite Stars’ Retreat the weekend of January 19-21, 2024. Those who created the cards are named in the watermarks of the photos. Here are Vy Tran’s…
Here are Kayla Cory’s…
And here are my mom’s…
We had a birthday to celebrate Saturday night…my youngest Luke is turning 17 on the 7th! So we celebrated with a family party. The date was agreed upon on just last week Monday which only gave us five days to pull it together. And teenagers are busy AND aren’t the most chatty creatures when they aren’t in the mood to talk. So it took me until Thursday night to have a decent conversation with Luke. 🤣
Friday morning I shopped on Amazon for decor and found a talented local cake maker that could fit our order in. And it all came together! I’m thankful to my husband who ran all the errands, Amazon for speedy delivery, and Diedre Zelin (the gal who was able to make a fun cake with only 24 hours notice). Here are a couple photos from the fun celebration. (I’m at the party, but I was taking the photo. So you don’t see me.)

Yesterday during my Online Paper Crafting Class I shared how to make two Outside-In fun fold cards using products in the Forever Love Suite. From those two cards came a few pieces I couldn’t throw out. So I also shared a couple more cards that I put together using those leftovers. All four of these cards ended up being make-n-takes at my recent Silver Elite Stars’ Retreat. We had a lot of fun making them.
I posted photos, measurements, and supplies for the first two Outside-In fun fold cards yesterday. So today I’m sharing photos, measurements, and supplies for these two. The video gives directions for all of them. And just like yesterday, I’m also sharing another version made by one of my retreat attendees, Nancy Forsberg. 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.

A couple weekends ago I hosted my seventh annual Silver Elite Stars’ Retreat. I couldn’t share all the details in that January 26th post, and I promised to share all that we created in upcoming blog posts.

But below you will find photos of additional cards that two of my retreat attendees made.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these Outside-In fun fold cards (and the tips for creating the two cards I’ll be sharing tomorrow, too!) with products from the Stampin’ Up!’s Forever Love Suite. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post.

I spent this past weekend hosting my annual Silver Elite Retreat for a few demonstrators in my Stampers With ART group. These demonstrators (titled at Silver Elite or higher) work hard to earn their title, so I like to spoil them a little bit. I’ll share photos and more details from this event soon. But today I thought I’d share one of the make-n-take cards from our weekend event.
It’s another Star Column Card! It’s put together in a similar way as those I demonstrated on 1/17/24. But this time I used the Perennial Lavender Designer Paper to accent the panels of the Basic White Cardstock base. I also used the Ice Cream Swirl Bundle to create the main images on the front and back of the card.

Scraps for die-cutting the ice cream swirls
After assembling the card base, I cut the strips of Perennial Lavender Designer Paper. I kept the strips in order then attached them to the 12 panels of the card base so the design was continuous and flowed well.
I attached the purple die-cut designer paper ice cream swirl to the white ice cream base. Then I filled in the spaces with die-cut pieces from a couple other coordinating cardstock colors (Blackberry Bliss and Highland Heather in this case).
I stamped the cone with Crumb Cake ink. After die-cutting, I used a Blending Brush to add more Crumb Cake ink near the edges of the image to create shading and the look of depth. I adhered these together. Then I added the sentiment strip with Dimensionals.
For the strip, I punched each end with the Banners Pick a Punch. I inked up the sentiment with Blackberry Bliss ink, lighted the ink of the top half with a dauber, exhaled on the ink to re-moisten it, stamped the image on the strip, and then painted on Wink of Stella to the tops of the letters.
(For the sentiment on the 2″ circle on the back, I did the same thing but lightened the ink on the bottom instead of the top.)
Then I connected this circle and the cone in the same way I did with my other front and back elements on the other Star Column cards I shared on 1/17/24.
And I finished by embellishing the card with a few gems.
Just like those I shared before…this card can fold flat and fit into Stampin’ Up!’s medium A2 size envelope.
This is another version I made with a different pattern from the designer paper pack and a different color combo for the ice cream.
And here are photos of three finished cards from a few who attended the retreat this weekend. All of them added Wink of Stella to their ice cream (which looks much better in person…it didn’t photo very well).
Those who made the cards are named in the watermark of each photo.
