Wow – it’s been awhile since I’ve posted! Needless to say, I’ve been busy. Summer is always a busy time. And most recently, on September 21, I hosted an all-day stamping event for thirty Georgia Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. Of course, it wasn’t exclusive to Georgia but the majority of demonstrators were from our state. It was the third Sweet Peaches Stampin’ Event and a fun day of crafting for everyone. I have now recuperated and have lots to share with you. Today’s post features one of the projects from the event that demonstrators were able to create. The card uses the Changing Leaves Bundle and is perfect when sending “a little note”. You’ll find a project tutorial below.
The Changing Leaves Bundle is an Online Exclusive and makes it easy to create a beautiful card. The bundle features a Hybrid Embossing Folder which means one of the dies fits into the embossing folder allowing you to cut and emboss at the same time. Notice the leaf in the card photo? The Oxidized Copper Special Designer Series Paper has been cut and embossed using the Hybrid Embossing Folder set. And of course, you can use the embossing folder separately as seen for the background layering panel.
The project tutorial is available here for you to use for creating the Changing Leaves “A Little Note” card.
Now that summer has ended and the stamping event is over, I’ll be back to posting more often. My next post will feature two treat holder ideas to use for Halloween so be sure to subscribe so you’ll receive notification. It will be available on Monday, October 7. So check back next week!
It’s two weeks until Christmas…are your gifts wrapped yet? I still have gifts to wrap but am ready with gift tags for the presents. In last month’s card class, we made Christmas gift tags using the Sending Cheer Bundle from the Sept-Dec. Mini Catalog from Stampin’ Up! Combining the Sending Cheer Christmas gift tags with the Tailor Made Tags Dies makes creating quick and easy. Need multiples?…It’s a breeze to do! To add “a little extra” use the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder but you can substitute with any embossing folder.
If you haven’t purchased the Sending Cheer Bundle – act fast! It’s on the Last Chance retiring list. It may not arrive in time to use for this Christmas but you’ll have it for next year. Plus there are elements appropriate for year round use. In addition, the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder is also retiring and is currently discounted too.
Cut Dimensions:
Basic White Cardstock: (3) 2-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ for tag die cuts; 2″ x 4″ (3) for stamping

It’s time to prepare holiday cards and today’s project features the Joy of Noel Stamp Set from the Stampin’ Up! Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog. The Joy Of Noel Holiday card is a simple, beautiful card. Even better, the design uses the “one sheet wonder” technique! You stamp on a full sheet of cardstock and then cut to create four panels for cards. This enables you to create four cards in one quick swoop! If you’re not familiar with this stamping technique, it’s demonstrated in the assembly video below.
One quick note…If you don’t currently own this stamp set (or the Joy of Noel Bundle with the coordinating dies), order soon! The set is being retired!
