Balloon Festoon Swap Card
I just returned from Stampin' Up!'s annual incentive trip. This year, we took an Alaskan cruise. It's such an honor to earn and take a trip like this. Less than 1 percent of demonstrators achieve this, but I'm so fortunate to be sharing and offering something I love. On each trip, demonstrators are encouraged to bring a card to swap with other demonstrators. Even though 277 demonstrators took the trip, not all of them swap. And, from all of the swaps, we get a sampling of 15. Today, I want to share the card I created for the swap. It uses a combination of Stampin' Up!'s Balloon Festoon Bundle and the Playful Packaging Bundle. I really...
Balloon Festoon Gift Card Holder
Summer is definitely the wedding season. So I thought I would share a quick and easy gift card and/or money holder created with Stampin' Up!'s Balloon Festoon Bundle. I grabbed some of the black and white designs from the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper and added some gold foil balloons. This color combination also works as a graduation gift card holder. Change the colors, and it can be used for any occasion. Measurements and Details Basic Black Two-Tone Cardstock measuring 7 3/4 x 5. Scored at 1 3/4 and 5 1/4 on the long side. Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper: one piece measuring 4 3/4 x 2 1/4 and one piece...
Playful Packaging & Silly Safari Monkey
Oh, my gosh, isn't this just the cutest? This monkey from Stampin' Up!'s Silly Safari is a perfect fit for the Laffy Taffy banana-flavored candy. I used the Playful Packaging Bundle to create this treat bag. Find this bundle in the May-August 2026 Mini Catalog. From the picture in the catalog, this bundle doesn't seem all that attractive. In fact, I didn't order it at first -- even though I love creating treat packaging. I borrowed it from a friend and then purchased my own because it's been so much fun! Be sure to watch the video below to see how these packets come together. In addition, I show a variety of other samples. See these other...
Playful Packaging & Balloon Festoon
Today, I'm playing with two of my new favorite products from Stampin' Up!'s May-August 2026 Mini Catalog. The Playful Packaging Bundle and the Balloon Festoon Bundle. Aren't they fun together?

Playful Packaging & Silly Safari Zebra
All I can say is: Cute, cute, cute! I've had so much fun pairing Stampin' Up!'s Playful Packaging Bundle with other products and treats to create theme small gifts. Honestly, the bundle doesn't look like much in Stampin' Up!'s May-August 2026 Mini Catalog. But, I got excited when I saw what other creators were making. Then, I bought my own. Be sure to watch the video below for some tips for using the dies and to see a host of other samples. Measurements and Details Basic Black cardstock measuring 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 Paper Medley Mix-In 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper measuring 4 1/2 x 2 Silly Safari Photopolymer Stamp Set.
