Sometimes it’s nice to have that one card layout you can use for any card. It works well with an assortment of patterned papers, stamp sets, and themes. Today, I share one of those layouts with you.
PAPER – Poppy Parade Cardstock (119793), Granny Apple Green Cardstock (146990), Basic White Cardstock (159276), Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper (DSP) (161945)
INK – Granny Apple Green (147095)
OTHER –Parakeet Party 1/8” Metallic Woven Ribbon, Stampin’ Seal (152813), Mini Glue Dots (103683), Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755)
Cutting & Scoring:
Poppy Parade Cardstock – 8 ½” x 5 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”
Basic White Cardstock – 5 ¼” x 2”, 4 ½” x 2”, 3 ¼” x 2 ¼”, 5 ¼” x 4”
Granny Apple Green Cardstock – 3 ½” x 2 ½”
DSP – 5” x 1 ¾” (Fa La La Design), 4 ¼” x 1 ¾” (Red Hat design)
Parakeet Party 1/8” Metallic Woven Ribbon – 8”
Instructions:
Stamp the sentiment on the 3 ¼” x 2 ¼” Basic White Cardstock. Layer on the Granny Apple Green Cardstock.
Attach the Fa La La DSP to the 5 ¼” x 2” Basic White Cardstock. Adhere the Red Hat DSP to the 4 ½” x 2” Basic White Cardstock.
On the folded Poppy Parade card base, add the panels, beginning on the left with the Fa La La layer, as shown above.
Tie a bow with the ribbon and place on the card front, right above the sentiment.
Adhere the remaining Basic White Cardstock to the middle of the card.
Here’s another example of this same layout using the Good Feelings stamp set and the Merry Bold and Bright Designer Series Paper. I love how this double-sided, patterned paper works well for both holiday and Christmas designs, as well as others.
And here’s another that uses the Joy to You stamp set with gold heat embossing and the Shining Brightly 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.

I’m always looking for lots of different ways to use my stamp sets. Since the Circle Sayings stamp set debuted in Stampin’ Up!’s 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, I’ve had fun using it with different layouts and funs, different patterned papers, for different seasons, and different sentiments. Find it on page 17. Bundle it with the coordinating 2 3/8-inch Circle Punch and save 10 percent.
Today, I show a couple of examples that feature the Circle Sayings stamp set to create fall cards with the hugely popular All About Autumn Designer Series Paper and the Autumn Leaves Bundle. Both of these cards showcase versatile layouts that work with a variety of stamp sets and paper.

If you’re looking for a way to make some quick and easy Christmas cards, Stampin’ Up!’s Christmas Everywhere Kit can help! This all-inclusive kit contains all of the supplies you need to create nine holiday cards — three each of three designs. The kit includes a stamp set, mini ink pad, a stamping block, decorated card bases and envelopes, die cut pieces, and Stampin’ Dimensionals. Make the kit as directed. Or create your own alternatives. This kit costs just $21 + tax and shipping.
Find the kits online as part of Stampin’ Up!’s Kit Collection. Click here to view all of the available kits.
I made one of each design (mostly) as directed by the kit. See the picture below.
Then, I started creating alternates with pieces from the kit and a few supplies from my stash. I cut up some of the card bases to use as Designer Series Paper. You can also cut the cut the kit card bases in half and mount them on card stock to double the kit output.
Here are some quick measurements for the pieces below (and the card at the top). Basic White measuring 5 1/4 x 2, 4 1/4 x 2, and 3 1/4 x 2 1/4. DSP measuring 5 x 1 3/4, 4 x 1 3/4, and 3 1/2 x 2 1/2.
I especially love a few of the extras. The cactus and the palm trees are so stinking cute. They are perfect for Arizona! Here is one of the alternatives I created with the blingy cactus. Isn’t it fun? (See another at the top of this post.)
Be sure to watch the video, as I show step-by-step directions for creating the first card. Get a peek at the contents of this fun, quick, and easy holiday kit.
