Swapping with other card makers is always fun and this year swapping at OnStage 2026 was the best! I participated in 4 special swaps and then made over 100 cards to swap in the general sessions so I have SOOOOOO many ideas to share with you!

This swap was one of the special swaps hosted by my friend Michael D. from New jersey and this one was specifically a gift card holder swap.

This first card was designed by Carrie S and uses the LAST CHANCE boho Vibes suite of products including the awesome DSP! This card scores the paper at 1 1/4″ and 5 1/2″ on the 11″ side and then folds the 1 1/4″ score line in toward the center score line to create a gift card pocket! Sweet and simple!

Anne O. used a different approach and cut an Early Espresso 1/4 sheet of cardstock as the base and the added a Pecan Pie matte of
4″ x 5 1/4″ and then a Basic White card of 3 3/4″ x 10″ scored at 5″.

She added a diagonal pocket on the inside and decorated it with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder! Love this design!

The Perennial Lavender DSP can make any project special and this tri-fold gift card holder by Patti Jean W is no exception.
She uses a 1/4 sheet of Highland Heather CS as the base with a DSP sheet of 4″ x 5 1/4″. She added a 4 1/4″ x 9″ sheet of Highland Heather scored at 3″ and 6″ and added a DSP to decorate the panels! Great thank you gift card holder!
Sandy C’s gift card holder is also a tri-fold design but instead of folding the score lines inward this one folds as a Z fold using the same dimensionals with a subtle difference in the way it opens creating a totally different look!
This wedding gift card holder by Joanne J. uses the Lifetime of Love stamp set and the Perennial Lavender DSP both of which are on the LAST CHANCE LIST!! This slider gift card holder will be detailed in a future blog post so be on the lookout for the directions with my own take on this design in the near future!
Garden Poetry DSP shines on this gift card holder by Kellie M. the design and measurements are similar to the first card shown!
This slider gift card holder version by Karen H. features the Lovely Stripes embossing folder which is now SOLD OUT and the Splash of Sparkles DSP.
This was my submission for the gift card holder which I posted originally on February 11th, 2026 with all the directions!

This gift card pop up slider uses the Swirled Designs bundle and the Words of Beauty (the Words of Beauty is on the LAST CHANCE LIST) with the Splash of Sparkles DSP.

Randy B. created this graduation gift card holder by simply adding a 1″ x 5 1/4″ piece of DSP to the inside bottom of the card and just adhering it with a thin line of glue on the two sides and the bottom creating a pocket for the gift card!

The stamp set used was the Seasonal Celebrations which is on the LAST CHANCE LIST!

The last gift card holder in this swap uses the Beach Boardwalk suite of fun products including the DSP and the puffy stickers.

Yolanda N. Cut the base card to 5 1/2″ x 7 1/4″
scored at 4 1/4″ from the right-hand side.
Then added a pocket to the right-hand side of the card.

Hope these inspired you for your next gift card holder project – they are simple to create and you do not need to buy them at the store!

Now it’s your turn to create some gift card holders one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

wrapped in cheer – paper pumpkin november 2025 boxes

wrapped in cheer – paper pumpkin november 2025 boxes

by | Dec 13, 2025 | 3D projects, Christmas card ideas, paper pumpkin/kit collection alternatives, paper pumpkin/kits collection, stamps ink paper

November 2025 Paper Pumpkin kit Featured a 3D Christmas Tags and gift box set and came with all the supplies to make 8 tags and boxes, colored instruction pages and a link to a video instruction as well!

The Paper Pumpkin Kits as well as our Kits Collection make great birthday gifts!

The Gift Box requires no adhesive and is pre-scored! Simply fold along all of the score lines, fold in the four small tabs and wrap the two ends over the tabs to enclose them inside the sides of the box.
Fold the top and close the box.

The box is printed on both sides and is reversible – crumb cake colored plaid on one side and a shiny Mossy Meadow patterned inside!

Gather all the supplies for the first page’s tag and box.

Following the directions, I punched out all of the die cut pieces and stamped the wreath image in the Mossy Meadow ink provided in the kit on the Mossy Meadow smaller tag, and stamped Merry Christmas on the banner die.
I placed three Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals provided, to the colored side of the holly wreath die cut, and three glue dots provided to the darker side of the leafy wreath.
I adhered the holly wreath over the stamped wreath on the tag, then adhered the leafy wreath over the holly. I placed to Mini Dimensionals on the banner and one in the center of the bow and added them to the tag.
I cut the linen thread at 12 inches and tied the larger tag to the back of the smaller tag and tied the thread into a bow.
I added threee of the red holly berry dot embellishments provided in the kit to the tag to complete this one! So Pretty!
I placed three mini dimensionals to the upper portion of the back of the larger tag and adhered it to the box top.
Following the directions on the second page for the second tag – I stamped the back of the smaller tag (I also did this with the first tag but forgot to photograph that step OOPS SORRY!)
I added the two different sprigs with glue dots as shown in the directions to the smaller tag, popped up the paper bow with one mini dimensional and tied the larger Mossy Meadow tag to the back of the tag and tied it in a bow.
I added three red dots to the tag to complete this tag.
I turned this next box inside out to show the pretty Mossy Meadow side!
I added three mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the larger tag back and adhered it to the gift box.
I finished the rest of the boxes changing the configurations of the pieces to make them a little unique. You have more than enough banners to put one on each box even though the directions do not add it to the #2 tag.
These boxes are so much prettier than any store bought gift box and a perfect size for gift cards or a little surprise that I got all of my children this year – so I already have them filled!

Hope you are coming along with all your baking and decorating and wrapping! Enjoy the season and making it special for all your loved ones as well as taking time out each day to take care of yourself too!

Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

hostess gift – christmas tags and holder

hostess gift – christmas tags and holder

by | Dec 5, 2025 | 3D projects, Christmas card ideas, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, stamps ink paper, techniques

It is the holiday season and you will probably be invited to holiday dinners and parties and this is the season for hostess gifts as well!

This little Christmas tag holder is the perfect little hostess gift for those sweet celebratory occasions!

Follow along today to learn how to make this sweet gift ensemble for your holiday outings.

Measurements:
BASE: Cherry Cobbler CS: 6″ x 8″
scored at 3 1/2″ and 4 1/2″
Mossy Meadow CS Pocket layers:
(2) 3 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
scored at 1″ and 1 1/2″ on the 6″ side
scored at 1″, 1 1/2″, 4″ and 4 1/2″ on 8″ side
Mossy Meadow CS Belly Band:
1 1/2″ x 11″
scored at 1 3/4″, 3″, 6 1/2″, and 7 3/4″
DSP: (2) 2″ and 2 1/4″ and 3 1/4″ x 5 3/4″
scraps of Basic White and Night of Navy CS
for the Belly Band

Score the 2 pocket layer in Mossy Meadow
at 1″ and 1 1/2″ on the 6″ side and at 1″, 1 1/2″, 4″ and 4 1/2″ on 8″ side.
Cut a slightly diagonal slice inside the second score line on the 8″ side up to the first score line on the 6″ side.

Cut another diagonal slice on the opposite side inside the 4″ score line up to the first score line on the 6″ side.

Cut along the first score line on the 6″ side to the diagonal cuts on both sides.

Cut four small cuts at the 1″, 1 1/2″, 4″ and 4 1/2″ up to the second score line
Place Tear-n-Tape in the first two and last two sections as shown in this picture below.
Place two small pieces of Tear-n-Tape on the tab on the opposite side of the pocket as the last four pieces were placed – as shown in the picture below!
Fold the score lines so that the four pieces of Tear-n-Tape are on the outside and remove the release paper off the four pieces and fold the smallest tab under the outside tabs on both sides – it will look like the picture below!
Adhere the longer tab in between the two score lines on the middle tab so it looks like the picture below.

Remove the two pieces of Tear-n-Tape on the middle tab.

Adhere the flap of the middle tab over the two sides – like the photo below.
Turn the box to the side with the slot and place four pieces of Tear-n-Tape down the two sides of the slot.
Remove the release paper to the four pieces of Tear-n-Tape and adhere the pocket to the bottom inside of the two outer panels of the Cherry Cobbler base.
Adhere the two smaller pieces of DSP to the pockets and now you can load your tags into the pockets!
Score the belly band and place Stampin’ Seal + to the smaller edge.

Place around the closed tag holder and adhere the belly band tight enough to not fall off but to be able to slide off with ease!

Decorate the belly band.
I used the Christmas Word Collage hybrid embossing folder for some of the tags this is a Last Chance product and a great item to have in your collection!
Here are the tags we will be making at this month’s library classes!

Cannot wait to see you all there!

Now go and create some artwork of you very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

by | May 5, 2025 | 3D projects, card samples, color challenge, die cutting, embossing folders, fun fold, In Colors, new catalog, sneak peak, stamps ink paper, techniques

Today’s More Color Mondays features a new suite that will debut tomorrow called Florals in Bloom with the Annual Catalog go live date on May 6th.

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 2 1/8″ and 4 1/4″
(2) 1 7/8″” x 5 1/4″
3″ x 3 3/4″ scored at 3/4″, 1 1/2″, 2 1/2″, 3″
scraps for dies
DSP: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Strawberry Slush CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″, scraps for dies
Timid Tiger CS: 3″ x 4 1/2″, scraps for dies
Darling Duckling CS: 3″ x 4″, scraps for dies

Score the card base like a regular Z fold fun fold
at 2 1/8″ and 4 1/4″.
Emboss the two 1 7/8″ x 5 1/4″ layers of Basic White cardstock with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder and adhere to the first two panels of the card base.
Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer of DSP from the Florals in Bloom Suite of products set to debut with the New 2025-2026 Annual Catalog tomorrow!
Score the 3″ x 3 3/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock at 3/4″, 1 1/2″, 2 1/2″, 3″.

Adhere the first and fifth panel together to form a rectangular box.

Lay the flattened box in the middle of the DSP layer just to the right of the score line. Flatten the box with the edge toward the inside 4 1/4″ fold of the card. Adhere the inside panel just a sliver away from the score line and close the card front and rub so the box adheres to the second panel.
Open the card and place Stampin’ Seal + or Tear-n-Tape on the inside panel of the box next to the DSP. Close the card and rub on the back of the card to adhere the box to the DSP layer of the card.
Die cut the Strawbarry Slush layer with the second largest Textured Notes dies.

Stamp “where you’re planted” sentiment in Strawberry Slush ink onto a Basic White 1/2″ strip and cut the words apart. Adhere in the center of the die cut layer.

Place adhesive on the top panel of the box and center the Strawberry Slush die layer over the box and adhere to it.
Die cut the Timid Tiger layer with the 3rd largest die from the Textured Notes die set and the Darling Duckling layer with the fourth largest die.
Adhere the Darling Duckling die over the Timid Tiger layer.
Place adhesive on the left side of the back of the two dies and adhere to the middle of the first panel of the card.

Die cut flowers from the Pretty Florals Bundle in the three In Colors.

Adhere the detailed Darling Duckling flower center to the large Timid Tiger flower die and adhere to the right hand corner of the die rectangles.

Stamp the “bloom” sentiment in Strawberry Slush ink and die cut. Adhere to the top of the rectangle dies on an angle.

Stamp the smaller flowers in Strawberry Slush ink – this is a two step stamping image – so stamp the base image on your grid paper and then stamp the flower “stamped off” image on your cardstock. Stamp the detailed smaller flower over the base in full strength and die cut them out. I stamped three flowers at full strength for some variation.
Arrange them around the Timid Tiger die cut and pop some up on Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add a Darling Duckling bloom with Timid Tiger edge tucked under the Timid Tiger die cut.
Add two of the medium blooms on the inside Strawberry Slush layer.

This is what the Double Decker Pop Up fun fold looks like in a standing position!

I added some small and medium Darling Duckling 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls to the smaller flower centers and Strawberry Slush Pearls around the Bloom sentiment!
I added a large Darling Duckling Pearl to the right hand corner of the Strawberry Slush Double Decker layer to finish this lovely Springtime card!

Try this fun fold with your stash and see what you can create – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

bonus post – hoppy easter treat box

bonus post – hoppy easter treat box

by | Apr 19, 2025 | 3D projects, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, retiring products, stamps ink paper, techniques

I normally post three times a week but sometimes I just have something special I have to share right away! This morning I stumbled upon an adorable Easter 3D treat box and decided to make them up for my Easter table -so while I was creating them I took photos and wanted to share the instructions!

Happy Easter to all and a special thank you to United Kingdom demonstrator Stacey Marsh for the inspiration I converted her project to imperial measurements but I took the inspiration from her you tube video and loved it!

Measurements:
BASE BOX: Pool Party two-tone cardstock
(1) 6″ square
(2) 2″ x 12″ strips scored at 2″ and 8″
DSP: (2) 2″ squares

Today I decorated the treat boxes with the Playing in the Rain stamp set and dies which I LOVE especially this little bunny and it is currently on the LAST CHANCE LIST – which means WHILE SUPPLIES LAST

I stamped the sweet bunny from this set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I colored the body of the bunny with the Ivory Stampin’ Blends marker.
Next I colored the body of the bunny with the retired SU 600 Stampin’ Blends marker, from the skin tone set but you could easily substitute another brown like Light Pecan Pie.
Next I blended the body of the bunny with the retired SU 700 Stampin’ Blends marker, from the skin tone set but you could easily substitute another brown like Light Crumb Cake.
Then I went over the entire body area and blended all of them with the Ivory marker again.
I colored the inside of the ears, the nose and the jacket with Light Flirty Flamingo.
I highlighted those areas with the Dark Flirty Flamingo.
And then I blended over the entire pink areas with the Light marker to blend.
I colored in the puddle water with Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blends.
Then highlighted the water with the Dark Pool Party Blends.
Then I went back over the puddle with the Light marker to blend it.
Score the 6″ square piece of Pool Party Two-tone cardstock at 2″, turn 90 degrees and score at 2″, turn 90 degrees and score again at 2″ and one more time turn 90 degrees and score at 2″.
Your square should have 9 equal squares scored into the surface.

Then move the square to the 4 1/2″ mark and score above the 2″ score line and below the 4″ score line. Turn the square 180 degrees and position the left-hand edge of the card stock at the 4 1/2″ line and repeat scoring from the 2″ score line to the top of the cardstock and from the 4″ score line to the bottom of the page.

You should be able to see the score lines in the second photo.

Position the cardstock so that the squares with the extra score lines are in the four corners and the extra score line is horizontal.
Cut along the dark lines in the photo and then snip the edges to form a tab as shown with the smaller dark diagonal lines.
Rotate the square 180 degrees and repeat the cuts and the opposite side.

Your finished square will resemble the second photo.

Crease all score lines with a bone folder – the secret to a great box is well creased score lines.
Place Tear-n-Tape on the tabs.
Remove the paper release tape from the Tear-n-Tape and form the box by matching up the tab and the side edges so they are even and rub the inside so that the tape adheres well.
Adhere your 2″ DSP squares to the side of the box that does not have the tabs adhered to it.
I stamped Oh, Happy Day from the Playing in the Rain stamp set in Tuxedo Black memento ink and die cut from the Stylish Shapes die set.
I die cut the bunny and fussy cut the puddle.
I adhered the puddle on the lower left hand side of the box that had the less busy DSP. I popped up the bunny on Stampin’ Dimensionals above the puddle and added the sentiment circle die to the right side – it is ok to hang these over the side of the box.
I stamped the sentiment a second time and fussy cut the O and adhered it over the A in Happy to change the word to Hoppy for Easter!
I scored the 2 strips of Two-tone Cardstock at 2″ and 8″.
I curled the paper with my bone folder.
Adhere the 2″ side with Tear-nTape or other strong adhesive to the bottom of the box.
Adhere the other piece on the 2″ side with Tear-n-Tape or other strong adhesive on top of the other 2″ adhered strip to the bottom of the box. The strips will look like wings extended in opposite directions.
Place tape at the top of the strip – the side that has the 4″ score line. Bend at the score line and instead of adhering flat push the edge with the adhesive upwards and adhere to the inside of the strip so that there is a bow in the top – see photo.
Do this on both strips, these will be the “ears” of the bunny basket.
Place the strips together and tie a coordinating ribbon around the strips and below the “ears”.
I added name tags to the ribbons with the new Hole Punch assortment punches so these will be my placeholders for Easter Dinner.

I filled them with candy since my children are too old for Easter Baskets but not too old for the candy!!

So, so cute! Save this to make for next year’s Easter table!

Have a Blessed Day and I hope you get time to create tomorrow!

Happy Stampin’
Natalie

This is what my table will look like tomorrow!

Are you a Friends TV Series fan? When I saw the Friends of the Ocean Suite and the lobster the first thing I thought of was my son asking for the complete DVD boxed set of the series for Christmas – we loved that series and if you are a fan, you will get this card and understand immediately why I saw this Designer Series Paper and knew I had to make this card!

Measurements:
BASE: Melon Mambo 4 1/4″ x 11″
scraps for the alphabet dies
DSP: (2) 3/8″ x 4 1/4 and (1) 3 1/2″ x 4 1/4″
Scraps for the alphabet dies
die cut of the large lobster
Basic White CS: 3 1/4″ x 4″

Score the base on the 11″ side at 1/2″, 1″ 4 1/2″, 5″, 5 1/2″, 6″, 6 1/2″, 10″ and 10 1/2″.

Fold the card in half and adhere the 3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ DSP piece to the center front panel

Die cut the largest square out of the center of the card front.
Adhere the 3/8″ x 4 1/4″ DSP pieces on the outer panels of the card front.
Adhere the Basic White CS layer on the center large panel on the inside of the card.

Adhere the score lines on either side of the center score line.

Die cut the larger lobster out of the DSP and adhere it to the lower corner of the Basic White window area.

Cut the word Lobster out of the Friends of the Ocean DSP and adhere to the lower portion of the lobster die cut (I closed the card front and using a pencil marked the corners keeping the images inside the corners so you can see the images through the shadow box opening.

Cut the Mini Alphabet dies in Melon Mambo CS and adhere the MY above the lobster on the left-hand side.
Adhere the right-hand panels together.
Adhere the word YOU’RE off of the top of the shadow box opening.
I added a Lemon Lime Lime circle die under the word MY to add color to the card.
This card has a bunch of scoring but is relatively easy and looks impressive!

This shadow box card is a 3D Stunner – try it with your stash and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
