A little gift bag filled with a little pampering! 💛🌻
I made this cute 4" x 5" x 1" bag using Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper and the Round About Messages Stamp Set, then filled it with a few 24K Gold Eye Masks. I keep mine in the fridge and use them in the morning—what a wonderful way to ease into the day! ✨
This would make such a fun anytime gift for a friend, neighbor, coworker, or just because!
With all the different sentiments in the stamp set, you can customize it for birthdays, thanks, miss you, hello, celebrate, and more.
Here's my YouTube video showing how to make this cute little bag 🎥
Who would you make one of these little pampering gifts for? 💛 Tell me in the comments—I’d love to hear who deserves a little “just because” treat!
I love a card design that looks elegant but is actually easy to make—and this Easy Cut Away Card is definitely a game changer!
For this card, I used a beautiful piece of the August Product of the Month, Glow of Harvest 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. This paper has a gorgeous shimmer that adds just the right amount of elegance to a card.
And here’s a great deal: You can get the Glow of Harvest DSP for just $5 with a $75 order (before tax, shipping, and discounts) during August!
A Simple Card with Lots of Details
My card base is Crumb Cake Cardstock, with a strip of Pecan Pie Cardstock across the bottom. I embossed the Pecan Pie layer using the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder, which will be available September 1st when the new Stampin’ Up! catalog goes live. I love the texture it adds!
For the focal point, I layered labels from the Sweet Words & Labels Dies and added my birthday sentiment from the Scalloped Blooms Stamp Set.
To finish the card, I fussy cut the leaves and acorns directly from the Glow of Harvest Designer Series Paper and added them around the sentiment. The shimmer in the paper really makes those little details stand out.
I think this design would also make a beautiful masculine card. Just change the sentiment and you've got a great card for a birthday, thank-you, or other occasion.
The Easy Cut Away Card
This card is so much easier to make than it looks! In fact, I have an older YouTube video titled “Easy Cut Away Cards”that shows you how to make one of these cards step by step.

Creating a sweet little Easter treat holder doesn’t have to be complicated! Today I’m sharing how to make an easy paper Easter Basket using the Easter Basket Bundle and the coordinating Easter Joy 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper. This simple project is perfect for table favors, small treats, or thoughtful handmade gifts.
🐰 Easy Paper Easter Basket Tutorial
✂️ Supplies:
Easter Basket Bundle
Easter Joy 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper
Paper Trimmer & Scoring Tool
Bone Folder
Tombow Multipurpose Glue or Tear & Tape
Cardstock (optional for base)
📏 Basket Measurements & Scoring
Start with a 6" x 6" piece of designer paper.
Score at 2" and 4".
Turn the paper and score again at 2" and 4".
Burnish all score lines with a bone folder.
✂️ Cutting
On opposite sides, cut the middle tabs up to the score lines.
These will form the sides of your basket.
🧺 Assembling the Basket
Using Tombow Multipurpose Glue or Tear & Tape, glue the right side down first, then fold and glue the left side over it.
This creates the box shape of your basket.
🎀 Adding a Decorative Base (Optional)
If you’d like to layer designer paper onto a cardstock base, cut:
Six pieces measuring 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" squares.
These panels fit perfectly on each outside section of the basket for added color and texture.
🪄 Basket Handle
Cardstock strip: 6" x 3/4"
Designer paper layer: 6" x 1/2"
Adhere the designer paper strip to the cardstock handle, then attach to the inside of the basket to finish it off beautifully.

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!
