Today's project and video tutorial is the how-to for making a fun fold card using the Dragonfly Garden Bundle (English) [156224] from Stampin' Up!

This has been a very popular stamp set and the coordinating paper is wonderful but at the time of this writing, is in very low inventory status.  So, if you love it, check now (Dandy Garden 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper [154297]) to see if it's still available!

This particular card design was my "mystery stamping event" for our April Stars Team virtual gathering.  Since our team is scattered across the country, we love gathering virtually on Zoom to stamp together.  You are getting to see the finished project first but the Stars had no idea what the finished card would look like.  All that was presented to them prior to the "gathering" was the recipe with cutting and scoring directions. Everyone used their own supplies. Two shared photos of their projects. Take a look at Kristen's and Carol's cards!

Now that you've seen these samples, you must be anxious to make your own!  Here is the video!

Lisa's Inklings:
1.Bumblebee 8-1/2X11 Cardstock [153077]: 4-1/4 x 5-1/2, 2-3/4 x 6 (scored at 5-1/4)
2.Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [159276]: 4 x 5-1/4 , scrap for die cut
3.Dandy Garden 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper [154297]: 2-1/2 x 6 (scored at 5-1/4) and punched dragonfly.

Here's the inside of the card.  The message can be written behind the card front strip so as not to be visible when the card is opened.

What most of us like about fun fold cards like this one with Dragonfly Garden is the added interest and uniqueness.  It's a great alternative to a regular book-fold or tent-fold card.

Here are all of the supplies used on today's project.

Let's kick off Tuesday with an easy technique video for handmade cards using Gilded Leafing from Stampin' Up!

The Gilded Leafing is a jar of beautiful golden flakes, lighter than a feather, that works magic on your paper crafting creations.  You've seen a demonstration and sample of this gilded leafing on another project but I have to admit that I LOVE this method and the secret to the "easy" is using our Adhesive Sheets.

Here's the video so you can see how the easy gilded leafing technique is done!

Lisa's Inklings:

• Highland Heather 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [146986] Card Base is cut 4-1/4 x 11 and 4 x 5 for die-cutting.
• Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [159276] is cut 4 x 4 for die-cutting.
• Adhesive Sheets [152334] cut 4 x 4 for die-cutting.
• Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper [154570] is cut 4 x 5-1/4.

Here are the supplies used to create this card. (Isn't it so pretty?)

It's Tuesday and today we have an easy DIY project with the Stampin' Up! Flowering Cactus Product Medley.  

I am always on the lookout for tea towels or dish towels that coordinate well with our stamp sets and designer papers.  The cactus-themed towel used in today's project is from Dollar Tree!  Here's one from last year with an Easter theme.

The color scheme in the Flowering Cactus Product Medley is different from the bright colors on this towel.  As you'll see in the video, it was easy to coordinate other Stampin' Up! Colors to match the towel.  Watch the video to see the process of this easy DIY gift with Stampin' Up! Flowering Cactus!

Lisa's Inklings:

• Cut coordinating cardstock layer to 2" x 5".
• Cut designer paper to match at 1-3/4 x 4-3/4.
• You will need a piece of Basic White approximately 4" x 5" to stamp and cut your image.
• For the sentiment, a 3/4" strip of Basic White was used and cut to fit.

Here are the supplies used for this project.

You can easily create these DIY gift towels for any occasion.  Here are a few ideas:

• Teacher gifts
• New neighbor welcome
• Church or local craft fairs
• Stocking stuffers
• Or, just a "thinking of you" gift to brighten anyone's day!

Now that you've seen this video, you can be on the lookout for cute tea or kitchen towels to have on hand to make these easy DIY gift ideas that you can create with Stampin' Up! coordinating products! 

Today's feature is an Easter card and Easter basket video so you can make these for the little ones in your life.

These Easter projects were first shown on my Facebook LIVE this past Wednesday.  I am planning to give these to our granddaughters for Easter.  The card has an easy fun fold element when you open the inside of the card. Let's take a look at the video to see the process.

Lisa's Inklings:
Card-

• Basic White Cardstock [159276] card base- 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, a piece for stamping and fussy cutting, and a 1 x 8-1/2 piece for the fold inside.  Score at 2-1/4, 4-1/4, and 6-1/4.
• Highland Heather Cardstock [146986]- 4 x 5-1/4  and a piece for the die-cut label.
• Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper [154570] 3-3/4 x 5.
• Misty Moonlight Cardstock [153081] small piece for the die-cut label.

Here's a look at that interior fun fold...

Basket-

• Highland Heather Cardstock [146986] cut 8-1/2 x 8-1/2. Score at 2-1/2" on all 4 sides.
• Highland Heather Cardstock [146986] for handle- 1-1/4 x 8-1/2.
• Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper [154570] - 4 pieces cut at 3-1/4 x 2-1/4; one piece 1 x 8-1/2 for the handle.
• Basic White Cardstock [159276] white for stamping and punching.
• Misty Moonlight Cardstock [153081] 1 x 1-1/4.

This little Easter basket and card will be perfect for our little girls.  Here's another basket design...a tad bit smaller and made from Designer paper.  You can see that this basket holds more fun trinkets and treats!

Here are the supplies used to create both of these projects...

Thank you for your support of my small business.  When you purchase Stampin' Up! supplies from me, it allows me to continue offering videos and project ideas for you!

Thanks for tuning in today! Now that you have all the details, create something fun to be the light to someone special.   I hope you've been inspired to make an Easter card and basket for the little ones in your life.

With St. Patrick's Day coming up, it's a good time for an idea for this fun little treat box.

This is a simple one and a good size for some fun candy treats or even a gift card!  Going through my supplies, I found some stamp sets and dies that would be just right to wish someone "top of the day" on the 17th.

There are many shades of green in this Stampin' Up! color realm but this spruce matched my treats, Andes Mints, so that was the deciding factor. 

Here's the how-to video so that you can put one of these together quickly.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Cut the Shaded Spruce 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [146981] to 3 x 6.
• Use your Simply Scored [122334] to score on the long side at 2, 2-3/4, 4-3/4, and 5-1/2.
• Turn and score at 3/4 to form the box bottom.
• You will need some scrap pieces of Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [159276] and Brass Foil Sheets [153057] (depending on the style you are making.)
• The Rainbow Glimmer Paper [153056] makes a pretty four-leaf clover.  You will just need a small piece.

I think this version with the sentiment from the game on stamp set is just right for my better-half! Those hearts from the kanga dies make a cute shamrock, don't you think?

St. Patrick's Day was always a fun day for me growing up.  I was eager to attend my school that day to see all the wearing of the green.  Making these little treat boxes and decorations each year brings some of those fun memories to mind.

Here's a look back at some of the fun projects for St. Patrick's Day... a Leprechaun Hat Treat Holder and a St. Patrick's Day Banner.

Below are the supplies used for the two St. Patrick's Day treat boxes seen in today's video.  If you are needing any card-making or paper crafting supplies, I would be honored to serve you!

Hope you have been inspired to try this paper crafting project so now that you've seen the video, give it a try! Have some fun on St. Patrick's Day with these treat boxes that you can create yourself and until next time, let your light shine!

Today's projects are two handmade cards with Stampin' Up! Circle Celebration.  We made these cards on Craft & Chat Live on Facebook yesterday afternoon.

The circle elements on these stamp sets have a wide variety of patterns but for some reason, I was obsessed with this vine image that you will see on these two cards!  (Be sure that you are on my mailing list so you can see another card made with more of these circle patterns...it's my favorite that I've made so far with this set!)

And, now...on with the show!

Lisa's Inklings for these two handmade cards with Stampin' Up! Circle Celebration-

Card 1:

• Shaded Spruce Cardstock [146981] base is cut 4-1/4 x 11 and scored at 5-1/2.  Fold in half.
• Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper [152492] is cut 4 x 5-1/4.
• You will need about 4 x 5 of the Pearlescent Specialty Paper [154291] to die-cut the Stitched Shapes Dies [152323]-Circle and to stamp and punch the sentiment.
• Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper [149612] - 4 x 4 for stamping and coloring with ink and Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush [141897].
• Cut your Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (Ribbon)[152475] 14-16 inches long.

Card 2:

I like to call this the "quilt" card.

• Pool Party Cardstock [122924] base is cut 4-1/4 x 11.
• Bermuda Bay Cardstock [131197] layer is cut 4 x 5-1/4.
• Old Olive Cardstock [100702] is cut 3 x 4-1/2.
• You will need about a 4 x 6 piece of Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper [154567]to die-cut the Stitched Rectangles Dies [151820].
• You can use scrap or a small piece of Basic White Cardstock [159276] for stamping, punching, and fussy cutting.

The faux stitching created by the dies on both of these really adds a special touch, don't you think?

Tip: To prevent the classic ink from bleeding on the elements seen in the photo above, clear emboss the image and sentiment immediately after stamping in the classic ink.

Now that you've read this post, sign up for my mailing list to receive some awesome project ideas and a free online class!

Sure do appreciate all of you checking in today and I hope you have been inspired by these two handmade cards with Stampin' Up! Circle Celebration.

These butterflies have seen lots of stamping goodness in my studio this past week and this "thinking of you" card with the Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance is already on its way via the United States Postal Service.

These fluttering beauties have arrived for us at the perfect time with the onset of Spring and the Easter season.  And, the bijou paper is absolutely stunning and I'm thinking of ordering more since it only available while the supply lasts! You can see it shine in these cards that were shared last week.

Below is the video so you can re-create this card.  You will see an easy way to alter the card front to make it a little different and fun.  Ready?

Lisa's Inklings:

• Bermuda Bay 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [131197] is cut 5-1/2 x 8-1/2.
• Fold in half at 4-1/4 matching corners giving it a good crease with the Bone Folder [102300].
• Using your Paper Trimmer [152392], cut off 1-1/2" from the card front.
• Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [159276]: 5 x 7 to stamp and die cut butterflies; 2-1/2 x 5-1/4 for the inside of the card; scrap for stamping and punching
• Butterfly Bijou 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper [156824]:2-1/4 x 5-1/4 for card front; 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 for strip.

Thank you for visiting the blog today! I truly enjoy sharing with you all and appreciate your support! 

Each season brings new crafting opportunities and gives us the opportunity to be the light for someone by sending a beautiful handmade card.  I hope you've been inspired to create a "thinking of you" card with Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance and make a difference!

On Wednesday's Facebook Live, the beautiful new Butterfly Brilliance Bundle was the star of the show! This stamp and die collection combo is an early release from the new Stampin' Up! catalog that will go LIVE in May.  Some of us like to call that catalog the "big" catalog!

I am really enjoying creating with these butterflies.  When you watch the recording of the video below, you will hear that when I see a butterfly cross my path, I feel it's my mom telling me "hello".  And, don't you think that sending cards with butterflies is a lovely gesture of hope?   There are quite a few on my list that could use such a card, how about you?

We will call this card, the "Calypso Coral" card.  The Love You Always Foil Sheets [154286] butterflies are such a pretty touch!

Here is our "Magenta Madness" card!  It's bright and beautiful but quite a bit different than my usual color choices.  This just proves that I should step out of my "color-comfort" box more. :)

Ready to take a look at the video?  Grab a drink (and, maybe even some popcorn!). Hope you enjoy!
