Pop-Up Fun with the Adventurous Sky Bundle

 Pop-Up Fun with the Adventurous Sky Bundle & Lorna Label Die!

There's something extra special about interactive cards, and this one is no exception! I recently created a fun pop-up cardusing the fabulous Adventurous Sky Bundle from Stampin’ Up! paired with the Lorna Label Pop-Up Die Set by Karen Burniston—what a perfect match!





I love how the airplane theme really takes off with the added dimension of the pop-up inside. The die set makes it super easy to create a professional-looking interactive element without complicated measuring or folds.

Whether you’re making cards for birthdays, encouragement, or just because, adding a pop-up element brings such a joyful surprise to the recipient. This card is definitely one of my new favorites!

Title: Game-Changing Die Storage Solution for Large Stampin’ Up! Dies

 


Are you looking for a smart, simple way to store your larger dies like the Stampin’ Up! Party Alphabet and Party Banner Dies? You’re in luck! 🎉

In my latest YouTube video, I’m sharing a game-changing die storage solution that’s perfect for keeping those oversized dies organized and easily accessible.

✨ Here’s what I used:

  • Two 5" x 7" magnetic sheets from Amazon

  • One sturdy piece of chipboard

This method keeps your dies securely in place, is easy to store, and super budget-friendly. It’s ideal for anyone looking to tidy up their craft space without spending a fortune.

🧲 This idea was inspired by my creative friend, Lisa Fleming of Peanuts & Peppers Papercrafting. Be sure to check out her channel too—I'll be linking her original video in my YouTube description!

Happy Crafting!

Mystery Stamping Fun Fold Card

 



Mystery Stamping Fun Fold Card | Chics Paper Ink Team Event

Hi crafty friends!

I wanted to share a super fun card I created during a recent Mystery Stamping event held exclusively for our Chics Paper Ink Team. These events are always such a blast, and this time was no exception!

The final result? A Fun Fold Card that came together beautifully—and yes, I’ll definitely be making this fold again!

I used the Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper, which is so bright and pretty. It added just the right pop of color and pattern to the design. Paired with the coordinating Ocean Friends Die Set, this card really came to life. I love how these two products work together so seamlessly.

Both the DSP and die set are still available in the Last Chance Section of my Online Store—so if you’ve had your eye on them, now’s the time to grab them before they're gone!

To finish off the card, I stamped a sentiment from the Notes & Totes Stamp Set—it was just the perfect touch to complete the look.

This Mystery Stamping event was so much fun, and I always love the creative surprises that come from crafting without knowing the final layout ahead of time. It pushes us out of our comfort zones in the best way.

Here’s a peek at my finished card:





Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Mini Beach Bags With Notes & Totes Bundle – Perfect for Any Occasion!





I recently had so much fun creating these two adorable mini beach bags using the Notes & Totes Bundle. These little totes may be small in size, but they can hold quite a bit – perfect for so many different uses!

For my last class, I made one as a special thank-you for each participant. I filled them with a few thoughtful items to show my appreciation, and they were a big hit! The second bag was put together as a gift bag, and it turned out just as sweet. Whether you're using them for party favors, small thank-you gifts, or even seasonal treats, these mini beach bags are so versatile.

What I love most about this project is how easily the design can be adapted to fit any occasion. Think summer parties, birthdays, weddings, teacher gifts – the possibilities are endless! Just switch up the colors and patterns to suit your theme.

The Notes & Totes Bundle made assembling these a breeze. I can't wait to make more and explore even more ways to use them!

Saturday Card Class Sneak Peek: Beachy Fun with the Notes & Totes Bundle!


Hey crafty friends! 🌞

I’m so excited to share a sneak peek of one of the two cards we’ll be making at this Saturday’s class! This one features the adorable Notes & Totes Bundle, paired perfectly with a piece from the Thoughtful Journey DSP. I absolutely love how these elements came together to create a light, breezy, beach-inspired card that feels like a mini vacation in an envelope!

The stamp set in the Notes & Totes Bundle is full of warm, heartfelt sentiments — perfect for sending some sunshine to someone special. The coordinating die set adds so much personality to your projects. Wait until you see the stylish sunglasses and playful little scarf included — so fun and fashion-forward!

For this card, I used one of the watercolor-inspired backgrounds from the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper. It gave just the right dreamy backdrop to our beachy theme. Add in some of the cute die-cut accessories, and you've got a handmade card that’s sure to brighten someone’s day.

Whether you're a seasoned crafter or brand new to stamping, this project is super achievable — and full of charm. I can't wait to see what creative spins you'll put on it at class!

✨ Don’t forget: Class is this Saturday, and we’ll be making two cards total, including this one. Be sure to bring your adhesive and your crafty energy!

See you soon!
