Oh! The creativity that is shared in our Stampers With ART Group! Today I am sharing our latest cards that were swapped on September 14th. These feature new products from Stampin’ Up!’s September-December 2023 Mini Catalog that debuted on September 6th. Click here to find a link to the current catalogs.
Please keep in mind that this is a “sharing post” only. These ideas are to inspire creativity not to instruct. Please don’t ask for further details.

Of course, if you see an idea that you’d like me to share in the future, let me know. And definitely leave comments below to cheer on our creators!
Those that made each card are mentioned in the watermarks of the photos. Take a look at all the creativity!

US BACK-TO-SCHOOL SALES TAX HOLIDAY Thirteen states and Puerto Rico are offering a sales tax holiday for school supplies during the months of July, August, or September. Products that are eligible according to the statute include “items normally used by students in a standard classroom for educational purposes.” To see the names of participating states, products exempted from tax, and sales tax holiday dates 2023 Tax Holiday spreadsheet here. If you want to get in on the tax holiday, you must place your order with Stampin’ Up! during the tax holiday period in order to receive these items tax-free (which is midnight on the first day to midnight on the last day of the tax holiday). Also, keep in mind that this is a state sales tax holiday; the state statute may not apply to county, city, and special jurisdiction taxes.
Here is another Frameless Clear Front Shaker Card I made with products from the new Them Bones Suite featured on pages 48 and 49 in the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog.
It’s so fun how the shaker pieces can be seen from the front AND the inside of the card.
I shared the details for making this type of shaker card on August 30th. Visit that post to watch to watch my how-to video. You’ll also see five other cards in this style in that video (on that post) for more inspiration.
Below are measurements, tips, close-up photos, and a product list for today’s card.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store. (In the US market, a few items are out of stock as this post is being published. But items should be back in stock soon.)
Measurements …
Clear Envelope
Blackberry Bliss Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4”
Basic Black Cardstock
4″ wide scraps for die-cutting two grounds
Scraps for die-cutting bats
Basic Gray Cardstock
Scraps for die-cutting fence
Smoky Slate Cardstock
Scrap for die-cutting two sentiment layers
Glow-In-The-Dark Specialty Paper
Scraps for die-cutting bones and the large sentiment layer
Scrap for punching moon
Vellum Cardstock
4-1/4” x 5-1/2”
Them Bones Designer Paper
4” x 5-1/4”
Tips after the initial shaker assembly…
Die-cut the grounds, but then trim them at the bases so they are about the same height as the ground on the designer paper. Add these with Seal Adhesive.
Die-cut one fence, and cut it in half. One is for the inside and one is for the front. Add with rolled and stretched out Glue Dots.
Add the Glow-In-The-Dark moon to the designer paper. Then close the card and add the Glow-In-The-Dark sentiment layer to the front with Seal. Add the outside stamped sentiment layer on top of that with Seal. And then add the inside stamped sentiment layer with Seal.
Cut a few of the bones, then add these (with Multipurpose Liquid Glue) to make them look like they are sticking out of the ground. The sticky end of the Take Your Pick Tool should help grab up these little pieces when gluing them in place. Add another on the front sentiment layer. And add the bat on the moon.
Check out the greenish glow when the card is in the dark. TOOOOoooo fun! Even the shaker pieces illuminate a bit differently.
By the way, this is the sheet I used from Them Bones Designer Paper for the inside layer. The moon is already printed on the portion I used on this card. But adding the glow-in-the-dark moon makes it more fun.
From one sheet you can make six cards. There are two of these sheets per pack, so altogether you could make 12 cards.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared today.

This is a fun card that I wanted to demonstrate in video format for you all today, but it was too hard to fit that into my day. It’s the first day of a new catalog, and those first days are usually pretty busy for me helping my team and my customers. Plus it was the first day of school for my boys and our exchange student. We had things to prepare for last night, and coordinating everyone this morning was a bit of a challenge. But they all made it out the door in time! Yay.
Here is my Pop Out Standing Step Card that I made with the Zoo Crew Suite. This is what it looks like from the front.
And here it is standing. The two “step” sections in the front act as a base for the card.
Because this designer paper has a ton of critters, the variations of this card that you could make with this suite are endless!
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.
Measurements …
Basic Black Cardstock
4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
1-1/4″ x 4-1/4″
1″ x 4″ scrap for die-cutting the scallop “top curtain”
Scraps for die-cutting the two side curtains
Basic White Cardstock
3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″
5/16″ tall strip
Distressed Gold Specialty Paper
3-1/2″ x 4″
Scrap for stamping and fussy-cutting tutu
Zoo Crew Designer Paper (black with white scallops)
4″ x 4-1/4″ scored parallel to the short side at 1/2″ (starting at the top of the design), 1-1/4″, 2-1/4″, 3″
6″ x 4-1/4″ scored parallel to the short side at 3/4″ (starting at the top of the design), 2-3/4″, 3-1/2″, 5-1/2″
Zoo Crew Designer Paper (dancing critters)
Scraps for fussy-cutting or die-cutting all six critters
Directions…
Prepare the pieces above. Add the gold paper to the top of the black base piece as shown. Connect the b&w designer paper pieces (with adhesive along the 1/2″ wide ends) to form steps. And add them at the bottom so they touch the bottom edge of the black base. Add the die-cut side curtains as shown. Then add the top scallop curtain with Dimensionals.
Attach the front black panel to complete the stage. Then add the critters. I added the back one with glue on the back of the legs and a Dimensional behind the head. I added the small front one with a Dimensional. The rest of the dancers are just glued in place with glue under the feet.
Embellish the card with the stars and pearls.
You can see here how the steps are connected.
So of course flattening the steps in an upward position will allow the card to fit into an envelope.
Next stamp the skirt of the leopard onto the scrap gold piece. And fussy-cut.
Stamp the leopard and the “You’re TOO wonderful” on the white layer.
Glue on the gold skirt.
Then hand-write “TUTU” on the white strip. Trim the excess and glue on over the “TOO”
Attach this layer to the back of the card.
Here is that photo of the front again. It’s such a fun card to make! I hope you enjoyed my idea.
By the way, the embellishments are new ones that just debuted today in the Sept-December 2023 Mini Catalog! Scroll down further and to the promotions section of this post to read about other new September 6th product releases.

I shared how to make the front accent piece on this card. Otherwise this second is made the same way as the first.
This is a simpler card to make with a different look using pretty much the same products. The first supply list below includes supplies needed for these first three cards.
And this is the last card I created with the contents of the August 2023 Meaningful Flowers Paper Pumpkin kit. The second supply list below includes supplies needed for this one.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared today!

US BACK-TO-SCHOOL SALES TAX HOLIDAY Thirteen states and Puerto Rico are offering a sales tax holiday for school supplies during the months of July, August, or September. Products that are eligible according to the statute include “items normally used by students in a standard classroom for educational purposes.” To see the names of participating states, products exempted from tax, and sales tax holiday dates 2023 Tax Holiday spreadsheet here. If you want to get in on the tax holiday, you must place your order with Stampin’ Up! during the tax holiday period in order to receive these items tax-free (which is midnight on the first day to midnight on the last day of the tax holiday). Also, keep in mind that this is a state sales tax holiday; the state statute may not apply to county, city, and special jurisdiction taxes.
Demonstrators are now getting their hands on new Stampin’ Up!® products that will be debuting September 6th in the Sept-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog. My preorder arrived about a week ago (I expedited), but this it the soonest I’ve had to share all of it with you.
If you are seeing this post early on August 11th, you should be able to catch me live on YouTube or on Facebook at 11 AM Central Time. Otherwise you should be able to watch the recording of the live broadcast by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post),
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Be sure to also do searches for what other Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators may be sharing so you can possibly see other products that will become available. You’ll also start to notice cards and projects being shared online by doing searches through Google, Pinterest and more. There are so many wonderful new offerings!
And “yes” for the answer to the question I tried to address at the end of the video…demonstrators can pre-purchase the host set from the mini.
And then visit my Catalogs page OR my online store when the mini catalog goes live on September 6th to see ALL the new goodies.
