This month, the theme is “It’s All About the Kids.” We hope that you will be inspired by the creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
The Pals Blog Hop theme is perfect for making Easter cards, and the Easter Bunny Punch from our 2023-2024 Annual Catalog came in handy. I punched the bunny from Basic White Cardstock, and used a Small Blending Brush to add Bubble Bath Ink to her edges. Then, I punched two more bunnies, and glued them together to give the bunny thickness.
Easter Bunny
The card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, is Bubble Bath, to match the bunny’s fur. This is layered with Basic White Cardstock, cut with the largest Scalloped Contours Die. The top layer is Delightful Floral Designer Paper in Fresh Freesia, cut with the second largest Scalloped Contours Die.
“Happy Easter” was created with the Mini Alphabet Dies, Delightful Floral DSP, and Foam Adhesive Sheets. I attached a 3 1/4″ X 4 1/2″ piece of Delightful Floral DSP to the same size Foam Adhesive Sheet. After placing the Mini Alphabet Die on top of the patterned side, I ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine several times. I was able to keep the backing on the letters while removing them from the die, until it was time to adhere them to the card front. This gives wonderful dimension to the letters!
To give the bunny some greenery, I used one of The Love Of Spring Dies to cut Delightful Floral DSP. After gluing the plants in place, I attached the bunny with Dimensionals. The beautiful eggs are Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls.

This month, the theme is “Love Is In The Air.” We hope that you will be inspired by the creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I began today’s card with my favorite Sale-a-bration designer paper, Flight & Airy. The lovebirds were fussy cut, and the flowers were cut with Paper Florist Dies. You should check out the Paper Florist Dies, in my Product List below, because it’s a fabulous set! After cutting the flowers, I glued the petals together, added centers cut from Gray Granite Cardstock, curled the petals with a Bone Folder, and placed them on Dimensionals.
Lovebirds
Next, I cut the background leaves with a Gorgeous Garden Die from Basic White Cardstock. Then, I glued it to a Gray Granite card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
“Love” was cut with Love For You Dies from Gray Granite Cardstock, and a backing of Basic White Cardstock. The backing is great, because it allows you to easily raise the word on Dimensionals.
Once the lovebirds flew to their places, I attached the flowers, and the word, “love.” I also added three Tinsel Gems in a pretty blue to match the birds.

I HAD to choose my favorite Sale-a-bration item; Flight & Airy Designer Paper. In addition to the featured hearts, I decorated the envelope flap with one of the patterns. Follow along to see how I combined it with the Adoring Hearts Bundle in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog.
Adoring Hearts
The beautiful, floral hearts were cut with a large, Adoring Hearts Die, backed with cardstock for thickness, and placed on Dimensionals. Two, small, leaf dies were used to cut Thick Basic White Cardstock, which were glued in between the hearts.
The background is Basic White Cardstock, cut with the largest Perennial Postage Die, another favorite from the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. This was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
“Just for you” is from the Adoring Hearts Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink, and used it’s Adoring Hearts Die for cutting. Don’t you love the curved banner?
After adding three, Pastel Adhesive-backed Sequins, my card was complete.

Happy Holidays! This month, the theme is Winter Wonderland. We hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
For my Winter project, I chose Winter Meadows Designer Paper on a fun fold card, the “Triple Fold-out.”
For those who like to plan ahead, Winter Meadows Designer Paper is a carry-over to 2024, so you might want to grab some now.
Triple Fold-out
I began by cutting Basic White Cardstock, 4 1/4″ X 11″. Then, I scored it four times: 2 1/2″, 3 3/4″, 6 3/4″, and 8 1/4″. After folding and burnishing the folds (mountain, valley, mountain, valley), I prepared the panels.
There are two squares of Misty Moonlight Cardstock, 4″ X 4″, topped with Winter Meadow Designer Paper, 3 3/4″ X 3 3/4″. The third panel has Misty Moonlight Cardstock, 2 1/2″ X 3 3/4″, topped with Winter Meadow Designer Paper, 2 1/4″ X 3 3/4″.
The third panel is glued flat, but the first two panels are glued to the Basic White card base with an overlap, so take care not to glue the entire panel.
I couldn’t resist adding birds to the scene, using two from Flight & Airy Designer Paper. This paper is a FREE Sale-a-bration item, available to customers January 3, 2024. You’re going to love it!
To give the birds a place to perch, I cut Basic White Cardstock with a Christmas Pinecone Die, snipped three sections, and glued it on each panel.
“Merry Christmas” and “Wishing you a wonderful season filled with all the good things that warm your heart and lift your spirit” are from the Regal Reindeer Stamp Set. They were stamped in Night of Navy Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and I used the Double Oval Punch and Something Fancy Dies for cutting.
As a final touch, I added three, Fresh Freesia, Tinsel Gems.
Thank you for visiting. Have a wonderful holiday season!

Everyone needs gift card holders for the Holidays! This year, I’m using Scalloped Gift Card Boxes, because they are sturdy, easy to make, and fun to decorate.
Scalloped Gift Card Boxes
The boxes come 10 in a pack, and the tilt-up card holder sold me. To assemble, I folded all the score lines, then folded and notched one side at a time, and folded the front last.
The tilt-up card holder fits neatly inside, displaying the gift card beautifully. Isn’t it cute?
I used Traditions of Saint Nick to decorate five of the boxes. The top is 4″ X 2 3/4″, the front and back strips are 4″ X 3/4″, and the two sides are 2 3/4″ X 3/4″.
Joy Of Christmas Designer Paper was used to decorate the other five boxes.
For the tags, I used two Saint Nicholas Dies to cut Saint Nick from the Designer Paper, backed him with Basic White Cardstock, and punched a hole for the tie. I also used a Tailored Tags Die to cut the Joy Of Christmas DSP, backed with Basic White Cardstock, and added a deer, cut with a Grove Die.
I stamped “to” and “from” on the back of the tags with a Joy Of Noel stamp, and Mossy Meadow Ink.
My Scalloped Gift Card Boxes are ready for gift cards, and wrapping with Real Red Ribbon and Linen Thread.

This month, the theme is The Color Purple. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
The Night Divine Bundle was my choice for this month’s The Color Purple theme. I began by using a Blending Brush to add Fresh Freesia Ink to Basic White cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Then, I stamped “O Holy Night,” from the Night Divine Stamp Set, in Gorgeous Grape Ink. This layer was glued to a Fresh Freesia card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
O Holy Night
Next, I used Night Divine Dies to cut, Mary, Joseph, Jesus, a Shepherd, and a Wiseman (conveniently, all one die) from Highland Heather Cardstock. And, I cut the donkey and lamb from Basic White Cardstock. Don’t you love the detail in the die-cuts?
The frame for the scene was cut with a Night Divine Die from Gorgeous Grape Cardstock, and all was glued in place. After adding a Fresh Freesia star, and giving the animals a double layer for thickness, my card was complete.
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop next month (second Wednesday), when our theme will be Home for the Holidays.
