Tractor & Co 🚜 plus Peaceful Garden Patterned Paper equals beauty in card format, (note this popular paper is unavailable & will return once re-stocked)! I saw this similar Fun Fold idea at StampinUp!’s online event called Creativity Now. Use up your 12 x 12” patterned paper sheets to make several of these. So fun!

The Boo Crew & Spooky Sweet cards were a blast to make! I used the Spooky Sweet Suite & Sticker Sheet. This includes the amazingly & sweetly designed Designer Paper (DSP: 2-sided patterned paper), which is my favorite! 💚 The entire grouping of products is so well designed for multiple uses like tags, gift giving, cards, & memory keeping. I even colored the DSP with blends on the second image in 2 different ways. That was the idea that was shared at the August Craft-A-Long event that Stampin’Up put on. Such a fun layout idea. You can do this it with most patterned paper sets. In fact, many other creative designers used other papers & themes. I sure enjoyed making these!

Feeling connected to other creatives is like magic! 🪄 I look forward to seeing my friends at events like !! What a wonderful memory.

Thanks Loni, Pam & Kara for putting this on. Thanks friends like Melissa, Paula & Dianna for making projects together & spending time.

To gather with other crafters is a dream. When I’m able to attend, I notice the connecting instantly. I also notice the designs, layouts & feel inspired. I’m glad I got to attend & take photos. I hope you find what you love & find others who do too! Nothing’s better.

Spending time with these NEW products is magic:

-Christmas Words Collage- Hybrid Emboss Folder
-Peaceful Garden- Fancy Paper (DSP- Designer)
-Gold Gems- “Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems”💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

Heaven on Earth type session I had last week. You got to try out the Collage Hybrid Folder with Gold Foil Paper & I used Gray Granite Card Stock for the Card Base. Enjoy some creative magic too when you design & create your own DIY Cards at home!

Doesn’t it feel good to finish a project?! Awwww, breathe it in!!! Aghhhhh Awww phewwwww!!! 😮‍💨 That’s how I felt when I finished this “July” Scrap Page from , because let’s be real, I’m a NEWBIE scrapper. I did make it my own. I added Coastal Cabana Ink into the mix of Daffodil Delight, Lost Lagoon & Misty Moonlight. I knew a few my photos needed to be horizontal orientation, so I altered my left side 12x12” page layout. I didn’t add the Coastal Cabana Flags either but will use them for tiny weeny 2x2ish” photos. I have too many photos from July this year! Go 2025!!! ❤️

Tis’ getting cooler & feels more like time to make Christmas Cards. These are my Swap Cards with a fun group of crafters.

I used the upcoming NEW stamp set, “A Child is Born”. Love the peaceful vibe of this stamp set. I also used the new Hybrid Emboss Folder called “Christmas Words Collage”. And other silupplies i used: Peaceful Garden DSP (Beige pattern of the Designer Paper to stamp image), Basic Beige Card Stock for the Card Base, Crumb Cake for the middle layer, & Gold Foil paper. What a special gift to send to others for the holidays! Please share any project images if you make this or any other projects!

Sunflowers 🌻 had their turn in the sun this summer & in my heart using this amazing NEW Sunflower Emboss Folder. Its extra large size allows you to make 2-card fronts at once & there’s all kinds of fun techniques that will lead to hours of fun! 🤩 I didn’t want to stop. At my Team Craft Along, we made these, originally designed by . My creative friends made theirs in Sepia using Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight & Old Olive. Loved what they did so much I made my own too. Sooo addictive in the best of ways!

It’s all about the “Magical Moments”, so “Embrace The Magic”, which of these 2 sentiments do you prefer on my Swap Cards??! Love the peace & adventure of this card. Saying goodbye to my favorite season of summer.

First sentiment is from a Retired Stamp Set, made for memory keeping.

Second sentiment from upcoming September Stamp Set, Lights of Wonder (Lights of Aurora Suite), soon available to purchase!
