The holidays are over and I’m back ready to share lots of project ideas with you! Today, I’m am sharing the Blessings of Home Bundle from the new Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalog. Additionally, I am using a technique for coloring with the Soft Pastels. It’s a technique that I saw when the pastels were released and I finally gave it a try. The stamp with the large floral spray from the Blessings of Home Stamp Set is perfect for the technique. Below is the card photo is the list of materials and an assembly video. Also, be sure to check out my To-Go Kit offerings!

This fun Whimsy & Wonder Merry Christmas card features the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper. Even the packages used for embellishing the front are cut from the gorgeous designer series paper. The non-traditional colors in the paper helps to create a fun, cheerful holiday card. Of course, ask my granddaughter and she’ll tell you that yes, pink is a Christmas color. She actually has a pink Christmas tree for her bedroom! So naturally, it is a must that I use the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper. Below are photos of the card one with a Polished Pink border and one with a white border. You’ll have to watch the assembly video to learn the details:)
Card Details:
Basic White Thick cardstock 4-1/4″ x 11″, score and fold at 5-1/2″ for form card base. Scrap piece to stamp and fussy cut the Merry Christmas sentiment.
Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper: Snowflake Design layer 5-1/2″ x 4″; fussy cut 4 presents from the designer paper to use on the card front.
1-1/2″ x 4″ strip of Polished Pink In-Color Shimmer Vellum – Cut the strip using the long, narrow die from the Seasonal Labels Dies. Attach to the front of the Snowflake Designer Series Paper and snip the overhanging edge before attaching to the card base (I forgot to do this in the assembly video!)
Add a Wonderful Snowflake Embellishment over the shimmer vellum, then layer the presents, adding the top present with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp Merry Christmas using Polished Pink Classic Stampin’ Pad and fussy cut around the greeting. Note: select your favorite Merry Christmas font (I used the Christmas to Remember & the Holly Jolly Wishes Stamp Sets) Attach the greeting using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Don’t forget to embellish the envelope flap with the Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper. It adds the finishing touch! Be sure to register to follow my posts, I’ll be sharing a Whimsy & Wonder gift tag soon.

Check out the beauty of Eden’s Garden. The Eden’s Garden collection includes early-release products from the January–June 2022 Mini Catalog and it is now available for you to order. The Eden’s Garden Stamp Set and Eden Dies are available as a bundle or if desired, purchased individually. In addition, the collection includes exclusive products. The Ever Eden Designer Series Paper includes a pack of paper patterned with green and gold. Another exclusive product is the Ever Eden Cotton Paper. These specialty sheets are perfect for gift-giving and adding textured touches. And for embellishment, the beautiful Garden Gems is another exclusive product. But note, these exclusive products are only available while supplies last.
The perk of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is the ability to preorder products. So naturally, I “had to” order the Eden’s Garden Collection! And I must say “wow” – the Ever Eden Designer Series Paper is gorgeous! So for the project today, I’m sharing a card highlighting several of the paper’s designs. In addition, the Eden Dies create a frame for the sentiment from the Eden’s Garden Stamp Set.
Card Materials:
Eden’s Garden Bundle
Ever Eden Designer Series Paper (select 3 coordinating prints, cut following: base layer 4″ x 5-1/4″, two remaining prints: 2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″)
Basic White Cardstock (4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ for layering, 2″ x 4-1/4″ for label)
Evening Evergreen Cardstock (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score at 4-1/4″ and fold to form card base; scrap piece to cut frame with Eden Dies)
Tailor Made Tags Dies
Evening Evergreen Classic Stampin’ Pad
Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon
Simply Elegant Trim
Stampin’ Seal
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Add the Basic White layer to the Evening Evergreen cardstock base using adhesive. Next, adhere the base layer of the Ever Eden Designer Series Paper to the Basic White cardstock layer. Then, angle the two remaining pieces of the Ever Eden Designer Series Paper to the card (refer to card photo above). Stamp sentiment using Evening Evergreen ink onto the Basic White and die cut tag using the Tailor Made Tags Die. Cut the frame from a scrap of Evening Evergreen cardstock using the Eden Dies and apply to the tag encircling the sentiment. Add ribbons to the tag and attach to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Halloween will be here in a few days so I’m sharing a quick gift idea – a “Cute Halloween” Hand Lotion Package. It uses the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper from the Stampin’ Up! July-Dec Mini Catalog. This is one of my favorite “go-to” packages for small hand lotions (approx. 1 ounce size). The packages are very easy and quick to assemble using designer series paper. Carrying through with the Halloween theme, I’m using the coordinating Cutest Halloween Bundle and the Tailored Tags Dies to create simple tags. Friends and family members will enjoy these “non-caloric” Halloween treats!!!
Below is the project information for the “Cute Halloween” Hand Lotion Package and a video on how to score, cut and assemble the hand lotion package.
Cute Halloween Hand Lotion Package Cutting, Scoring & Assembling:
Cute Halloween 6″x6″ Designer Series Paper: cut 4-1/2″ x 6″
on the 4-1/2″ side, score at 2″ and 4″
rotate 90 and score on one 6″ side at 1″ (NOTE: if paper has a vertical design, be sure to score so that pattern will be running vertical and score line is at bottom of the paper.)
turn paper again and with the horizontal 1″ score line at the top of the score board and the 1/2″ vertical score line to the right – score at 1″ and 3″ just up to the 1″ horizontal score line (this is demonstrated in the video below) Alternate Size: if your hand lotion tube is slightly longer, instead of scoring horizontally at 1″, score at 3/4″ – all other measurements remain the same.
Fold & burnish on all score lines.
With paper snips, cut along all of the vertical score lines up to the 1″ horizontal score line. Cut and remove the 1/2″ panel piece below the 1″ horizontal score line. (This will form the bottom of the package.)
Fold along the long vertical score lines and insert the top into the Delightful Tag Topper Punch and punch to create top of the box.
With a strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape, Seal+ or Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, create a “tube” by sealing the side of the package. Place the adhesive on the 1/2″ side flap and fold other side to meet – press firmly to seal.
Next, form bottom by folding the flaps and sealing with strong adhesive.

Whenever I need a quick and easy treat holder, I like to create a diaper fold treat holder. It’s the perfect size for holding a small treat. Best of all, multiples can be created quickly. Even though we no longer have visits from treat or treaters, I like to give small treats to family and friends. So, I am am making some diaper fold Halloween Treat Holders using the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper and the Cutest Halloween Bundle. Since the designer series paper pack is 6″ x 6″, there is no cutting necessary making the project even easier! Add a Halloween sentiment, some embellishment, then fill with a treat and it’s done: easy-peasy! I demonstrate how to make the diaper fold Halloween Treat Holder in the assembly video below.
Materials for the Diaper Fold Halloween Treat Holders:
Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper Pack
Cutest Halloween Bundle
Basic White Cardstock (good time to use your scraps!)
Basic Black cardstock or other color cardstock to coordinate
