It’s that time of year to prepare for Halloween! In today’s post, I have two Halloween treat holders tutorials for you. Both use the Online Exclusive Potion & Spells bundle. The Halloween Spells Designer Series Paper is a new release and can be found in the Patterned Paper section in the Online Store.
The Toil and Trouble small Kit Kat treat holder is very quick to assemble. The treat holder is not just for small Kit Kit bars but will also hold a variety of small candy bars. The Cauldron treat holder does take a little bit more time to create. However, it’s size allows you to add a small cellophane bag filled with treats. The tutorial links for both of these Halloween treat holders can be found below the project photos.
Note: The Potions & Spells Bundle is currently unavailable but will be back in stock the week of October 14.
Have fun creating these two Halloween treat holders for friends, family, and of course, the ghosts & goblins that will be visiting on October 31!

Presenting a double box fun fold card using products in the Season of Green & Gold Suite Collection. This is project four of Christmas in July 2024. The Season of Green & Gold Suite Collection is an Online Exclusive product from Stampin’ Up! Using the coordinating two stamp bundles in the suite along with the gorgeous Seasons of Green & Gold Designer Series Paper makes it easy to create a beautiful card. The double box fun fold card design is perfect, especially for special cards. The design allows recipients to easily stand the card for display. Even better, the card folds flat allowing it to be inserted into a basic envelope for mailing.
Adding a cardstock panel to the card back allows for additional sentiment and signing of the card.

Isn’t the bumblebee the cutest?! Today’s card features the Bee My Valentine Bundle and the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper from the Stampin’ Up! Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. I’m using it as a Valentine’s card but the sentiment works for other occasions too. Perhaps as a fun anniversary card or just a way to express love. The cheerful Bee Mine Designer Series Paper provides the perfect background for the card. You’ll notice that the sentiment is cut with the Heart Punch…unfortunately after using, I realized the punch is retired. However if you don’t have a heart punch or a heart die, a circle punch or other shape to cut around the sentiment will work great.
Do you want to recreate the card? The cut dimensions for the cardstock and Bee Mine Designer Series Paper, as well as, an assembly video are below to make it convenient for you!
Cut Dimensions for the Bee Mine Valentine Card:
Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock: 4-1/4″ x 11″, score/fold at 5-1/2″ (card base)

This month the theme for card classes is Thinking of Christmas. Four cards featuring holiday theme were created using a different bundle. The Joy of Noel is one of the featured bundles. With the bundle and the Joyful Specialty Designer Series Paper, creating an elegant card is easy! The dies do the majority of the work and the designer series paper provides a gorgeous background. For the Joy of Noel Holiday card, stamping is minimal. Just stamp the word, Noel, and die cut with the coordinating dies to create the card front focal point. If you wanted, the letters could be die cut from another designer paper or cardstock making it even simpler.
If you’d like to recreate this card, the video below will guide you through the steps of creating the elegant card.

Can you believe it’s August! I know time seems to be flying by. Even though it’s August, I’m still sharing cards from the July card class featuring the Zany Zoo Bundle. This week’s card is a Zany Zoo Birthday Card. The whimsical card is appropriate for all ages but would be especially good for those hard to create preteen/teen cards. At least, for me those are the ages that challenge me when cardmaking. As in my last post featuring the Zany Zoo Bundle, the coordinating Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper is used for the characters. And since the turtle has the microphone (singing Happy Birthday), the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder creates a perfect base for the singer and his dancers. Below you’ll find cut dimensions and a video to help you recreate this fun card.
It’s A Zany Zoo Birthday Card Cut Dimensions:
Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ (score/fold at 4-1/4″ for card base)
Basic Black Cardstock: 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ (layering panel); scrap (die cut)
Basic White Cardstock: (2) 5-1/4″ x 4″ (embossing & card interior); scrap (sentiment)
Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper: fussy cutting & die cutting

The fun characters on this card make me smile!

If you’re looking for a fun stamp set, look no further! The Zany Zoo Bundle from Stampin’ Up! is it. And to make the fun even better, add the coordinating Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper and you have a multitude of project possibilities. For today’s project, the card is titled “forest friends” for the skunk and bird image. This image has a stamp but for the card the coordinating die and designer series paper image were used. You’ll find the sentiment in the Artistically Inked Stamp Set or select your favorite sentiment. To embellish the envelope, the image is stamped and colored using Stampin’ Blends.
