For today I’ve used the cute little mouse in a tea cup since my friend is a tea lover. After all who doesn’t love a little tea with something sweet? But with all the choices and the fact you can cut out the Designer Series Paper too with the coordinating dies, this pack of paper is sure to be used up quickly so you’ll want to be sure to get an extra pack!
Check out this quick little project.
Cute? I think it will bring a smile to my friends face how about you?
I’ve whipped up a quick little video tutorial and PDF for you too.
My PDF has the YouTube link in addition to the supply list, measurements and instructions. So go ahead print it out so you’re all set when you get ready to create!

If you haven’t seen this Bundle in the Mini Catalog, the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle (164615) is one that you’ll want to check out since it contains a fun movement shaped option along with a fun hybrid embossing folder with dies. It’s all part of the Beautiful Bokeh Suite (164619).
Today’s swaps all use this fun bundle but all have different takes making them a lot of fun. check out this first card using classic black and yellow.
The little wrap works like a book and the card stock measures 3 1/8″ x 2″ it has been scored at 1 3/4″ and 2″. A piece of Baker’s Twine creates the closure and is simply tacked to the back cover with some adhesive and then the chocolate adhere on top. The Die cut pieces using the Storybook Moments Suite (164681) decorate the cover. Cute, right?
#OnStage Wrap up –
I can’t tell you how much fun I have had over the last 16 years attending Stampin’ Up! events like this. While the format may have changed the experience hasn’t. Creativity, NEW products, sneak peeks,
and best of all gathering with Demonstrators from all over the world who love to paper craft like I do.
Meeting new friends is part of the fun. Here is a group we connected with at dinner the last night since reservations were hard to get. We had room at our table we asked them to join us and had a great time getting to know each other.
Are you enjoying the swaps and sneak peeks into OnStage? If this is something you think you may enjoy joining my team may be just the right fit for you so you can attend these events, get to see NEW products first, and our Catalogs.
It’s just a peek of what’s inside the 2025 Annual Catalog. And as I am sure you can guess, being the first to see this new catalog or any of our new catalogs is a very exciting AND a huge perk of being a Demonstrator – after all who wouldn’t want to be first?

I’ve been sharing my card sketches with you over the past months and today I’m going to share one of the ways I store them on my desk with this cute little crate I decorated.
I’ve used a inexpensive wooden crate that I found at my local dollar store to decorate and have given you a PDF that even has the labels that you can die cut in both black and Blackberry Bliss so you can choose how you decorate your little crate. Simply print the PDF you want on Basic White Card stock and go!
These card sketches are great for inspiration and having them handy on my desk makes it easy to get started!
I’ve punched a hole on them and put them on a ring to keep them together so they sit up nicely in my wooden crate.
Want to see how I decorated this crate? I’ve got a PDF and video tutorial for you so you can make them too!
If you haven’t seen my past sketches, you can start by checking out my Darling Dinos You’re the Best Card & video tutorial from Wednesday this week or click on Sketches in my categories to see them. Then stay tuned as I’ll be sharing more with you in time.
I hope you’ll enjoy this little 3d project and crate a crate of your own. This fun little project can hold all kinds of things!

Today I’m going to share a quick little treat to whip up for someone special, or create a bunch of them and share with everyone lol. These little treats are so fun and easy to make you won’t want to stop! I was tickled when I received this little treat in a swap a couple of years ago during a BackStage event and could wait to make my own.
Punches are my go to when creating large numbers of treats like this one that I made for the teachers at my daughters school. And if you love bees and enjoy scrapbooking check out our Meant to Bee Bundle (167243) that includes a set of dies.

Whew. I’m catching back up after returning from Houston and the fantastic Stampin’ Up! event there. So today I thought I’d share some photos and some of the swaps I received during the event.
Stampin’ Up! outdid themselves with this event and the excitement was high – it’s been along time since we have been able to gather like this. My husband, Larry joined me for this event since we have family in Houston and would spend some time with them after.
Yep, that’s my cutie enjoying a bit of lazy river time on top of the Marriott with myself and other demonstrators before check in time for the event. He seemed to enjoy the energy that surrounded him and I had a hard time getting him to give me back my bag as I got ready for the General Session to start. Check out the goodies our Summer Splash trimmed backpack was filled with. A fun crafting bag tucks in the bottom and slides out through the pocket and a coordinating pencil “cup” bag in our new In Color Pretty in Pink.
A wonderful beginning for sure where I had a lovely opportunity to connect with some new stamping friends. A quick dinner at the Saltgrass Steak House with some yummy food
and then on to After Hours and some on hand stamping fun with new products from the 2024 Annual Catalog!
Hundreds of us filled the space for an full evening of stamping, laughter, and fun. Everyone was excited to see the new products and In Colors! They sure didn’t disappoint. I choose one of the Bundles, Spotlight on Nature (163579) that was offered since it has some great images and basic shape dies.
I’m looking forward to sharing these projects and more with you soon. Along with more photos from the event throughout this week.
Now how about some swaps? I thought I’d share of my Easter swaps with you since it is right around the corner. There were some really cute projects swapped for Easter here are a few that I received.
This first one is a fun little 3d treat holder that uses the Diaper Fold.

Today’s little treat holder is one that I created for my #OnStage Houston event. I couldn’t resist after finding the Ghirardelli Macchiato Chocolates. It’s like a little taste of espresso on the go. Yum!
The NEW A Little Latte Suite Collection (Online Exclusive 163466) is a coffee lovers dream, as this Suite is filled with wonderful images, dies, and textures for creating. But because it is an Online Exclusive you’ll only find it in my Online Store rather than a catalog.

Remember today kicks off a whole week of fun tutorials to celebrate my 15th Anniversary as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. It’s my way of saying thank you for being part of my journey, I wouldn’t be able to do this without all my wonderful crafting friends.
So today’s card is a fun little card that is 3d and uses the Construction Zone stamp set (161582). It will fold flat when you want to mail it and pops up and creates a little box for you to display making it a lot of fun.
This card is great for the guys in our lives and our Stampin’ Blends make it a snap to add bold color.
