I broadcasted live this evening to share lots of goodies from the BackStage leadership conference in Las Vegas (held November 10-12)…gifts I received from fellow demonstrator friends, gifts I gave to my team members attending, and items we were gifted from Stampin’ Up! including my cowboy hat that I wore throughout the video (which I’m completely in LOVE with)!
Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already here in my blog post and can view it).
I started the video by first expressing my gratitude to everyone. I reached my 1.9 million sales milestone in September, I advanced in title in October (I’m now at the Platinum level), I found out I ranked #8 out of 27,343 demonstrators in the US for 2025,…
…and after just a month and 11 days I earned the 2027 incentive trip to Costa Rica!!!! Thank you for supporting me in my journey as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. I truly love what I do!
Disclaimer: These sales milestones, title levels, rankings, and trips are something that less than 1% of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators achieve.
After sharing my exciting news, I went straight to creating and shared WAY BETTER instructions for the October 2025 Cozy Christmas Paper Pumpkin kit boxes I had originally demonstrated and shared on November 8th.
Then I showed off a few cards – versions of the ones I made with the Harvest Home Garland kit on November 5th. I promised to post them with details on my blog in the near future. And I gave notice that the Traditions Of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper & Sticker Sheet is back in stock and that I would be sharing directions for an advent calendar using this product during my 11/19/25 live Online Paper Crafting Class. I hope you can tune in!
After giving quick instructions on the small boxes I’ll be using to put this advent calendar together (boxes I also shared in my video from 10/10/25), I pulled out all the goodies and gifts from the BackStage leadership event.
These are the items I got from fellow demonstrator friends.
These are the gifts I received from my team leader, upline, and good friend Susan Campfield.
These items (miniature rhinestones sheets and a Las Vegas charm) along with a card and note are what I gifted Nancy & Kayla, my team members that also attended this event.
(Here is one of my photos that I took of Kayla, Nancy and me while we were there. If you want to see even more photos from the event, please click here and here to see posts I shared on my Facebook page.)
And these two photos show the gifts and goodies I got from Stampin’ Up!
I didn’t share much about the agenda of the event during the video, but every day was packed and so much fun!…motivational speakers, tons of classes, company news, new product demonstrations, celebrations of achievements, make-n-takes, themed photo op areas and decor, lunches and other nourishment throughout the day, and a celebratory final night Frontier Farewell event with karaoke, 360 degree video booths, country music and line dancing instructors, food and drinks, and “Cowboy Hat Bar” where each of us were able to choose and personalize our own cowboy hats.
Are you excited to get your hands on the new January-April 2026 Mini Catalog?

I’m excited because today I have six more alternate projects to share with you…ones I’ve created with the October 2025 Cozy Christmas Paper Pumpkin: 3 boxes and 3 cards!
Be sure to watch my instructional video by clicking here* for measurements, tips and directions (or you can just click on this image below if you are already here in my blog post and can view it), scroll through the photos that follow, check out the products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
*My video goes live at 7 PM Central Time. So if you click the link early, you’ll have to wait. But this gives you the chance to join me during the Live Stream if you are able.
*Edited to add: Forgive me for giving the wrong instructions for the box base the first two times. UGH! (slapping my forehead) Just know that after cutting the 3/4″ off the one side (first step), next (and this is what I should’ve said…) add a 1″ score line in from that same edge. Scoot the paper over through the trimmer…you’ll have that score mark at 3-1/2″. Scoot the paper over more… Then score again 1″ beyond that at 4-1/2″.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared and gained some creative inspiration! Below are close-up photos of the alternate projects I created. (Remember to watch my video first to get measurements, tips and directions.) The products that I’ve shared or mentioned are shown/listed below and are currently linked to my online store.
A big thank you to those that shared other projects that influenced my creativity today: Vy Tran, Laura Seki, Lisa Marshall, Rose Kerry, and Sam Hammond.
I hope you had fun and gained some creative inspiration!
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 (typically available after the 20th but only available while supplies last). The refill kit doesn’t contain the ink and stamp images.

Have you seen all the leaves that come with the Harvest Home Garland Kits Collection Kit?!
If I counted correctly, there are 224. 😳 Wow! And that garland strand is super full when finished (as you can see in this image above). So… if you want to make your kit go a little further, I suggest putting at least a few leaves aside to make some cards. In fact, if you really wanted to (and you followed the suggestions I’m sharing today), you could technically make 76 cards from just one kit. AND you’d still have the garland base wire and acorns left over to use in another way. So I’m excited to present my cards to you today along with a basic mini wreath idea too.
Be sure to watch my instructional video by clicking here* for measurements, tips and directions (or you can just click on this image below if you are already here in my blog post and can view it), scroll through the photos that follow, check out the products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.

Measurements for one card…
Basic White Cardstock (Thick or Regular)
4-1/4” x 9-1/2” scored at 5-1/2”
7/8” x 4-1/4”
Country Woods Designer Paper
3” x 4”
1-1/2” x 4”
Kit foil scrap: 1/4” x 4-1/4”
Earthen Toned Metallic Foil
Scrap for die-cutting little leaf & vein
Here are photos of my sample cards (and my basic mini wreath idea).
I’ll probably add more ribbon to this quickly-assembled table scape decor piece. But you get the idea.

Thank you for the excitement you shared when I showed all the Halloween treat packaging and goodies Rose Kerry gave me. Many of you requested instruction for her expanding paper pouches. So today I’ve created some to share! I gave similar instructions for a version of these pouches back in July of 2023. So if you enjoyed those, you’ll love what I am sharing today. I have Rose’s alteration (which she learned from Ronda Wade) AND another way to alter them to make them look more like a trapezoid when closed.
