Get together and stamp with others from around the world during Stampin’ Up!’s World Card Making Day event Saturday, October 1, 2022. This free event will be held virtually from 2 to 5 p.m. Mountain Time. Click here to find more information and get the link to register.
World Card Making Day is all about making beautiful, heartfelt cards. During the event, presenters will walk you through several projects, and you’ll create the cards right along with them. You’ll end up with new project ideas and some stunning new cards. (However, you’re welcome to just watch the presentations, and you’ll be able to access the recording later.)
To make the most of this experience, you can order the Cottage Rose Bundle from the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog, the Cottage Wreaths Bundle from the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog, or the Warm Welcome Bundle, which you can get early from the January–June 2023 Mini Catalog! If you want, you could even order all three bundles.
When you order one of these three bundles: Cottage Rose Bundle, Cottage Wreaths Bundle or Warm Welcome Bundle you’ll get a FREE gift of Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels! Be sure to add item #158987 to get that freebie. Note that even if you order all three bundles, you’ll only receive one Iridescent Pearls gift.)
Warm Welcome Bundle Samples
I have no idea what kind of card Stampin’ Up! will make with this bundle on October 1. So I wanted to see what I could make with it. In this post, I share a few of the samples I created with the Warm Welcome stamp and the Welcome Home Dies. The included sentiments and images work well for a variety of occasions. It’s a perfect bundle to welcome someone to the family, to the neighborhood, to your home, to celebrate birthdays, to say congratulations, and more.
The item number to order is: #160704 and the cost is $50.25 for the bundle.

I hope you enjoy my samples, and I encourage you to participate in World Card Making Day. If you can’t watch October 1, you’ll be able to access the recording later.

Sometimes, you need a quick gift box for a last-minute gift. Keep some of Stampin’ Up!’s Kraft Gift Boxes on hand. (Find them on page 140 of Stampin’ Up!’s 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.) You receive ten of them for $10. During SaleABration — now through August 31, 2002, receive a package free with a $50 order.
They’re very easy to assemble. Watch the video below for a quick visual.
They’re large enough to hold full-size cards and envelopes as well as other small gifts. And, you can decorate them any way you want to match the gift or the holiday for which you’re giving. Or, don’t decorate them at all; they have a peekaboo window to showcase what’s inside. Adorn with a ribbon and a gift tag, and you’re good to go!

Are you looking to make some quick, easy, and gorgeous handmade greeting cards? Today’s post features two cards with an accompanying video.
I use Stampin’ Up!’s Splendid Day Stamp Set, the coordinating Splendid Stems Dies (buy them as a bundle and save 10 percent), and the Splendid Day 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. This paper is just gorgeous, sporting beautiful full page foil designs on one side of the double-sided paper. Find all of these products in Stampin’ Up!’s July-December 2022 Mini Catalog on pages 64 and 65.
The top card uses thin strips of the foil design from the patterned paper. Cut a bunch of these at one time and create multiple cards. Each strip measures 5 inches x 3/4 inches. The coordinating base is Mint Macaron, as is the ink for the sentiment. I used the Double Oval Punch to layer the sentiment and added ribbon.
This second card (above) shows an example of the die stenciling technique. (See this post for another card sample and video.)

From the time I was born, my family spent our summers at “the lake.” First, it started as just a weeklong vacation, and that turned into two weeks, and then three months. What memories we made during these idyllic summers in Minnesota. We spent entire days in our swim suits, reading books on the dock. So Stampin’ Up!’s Sunny Splash stamp set holds some nostalgia. (Find this set in Stampin’ Up’s Annual Catalog on page 41.)
I’ve had a lot of fun creating with this set. Today, I combine it with a fun fold inspired by Jackie Bolhuis.
Click here to see another blog post using these cute swim suits.
Sunny Splash Fun Fold
Here are some basic measurements for this card. Be sure to watch the video at the end of this post, to see exactly how it goes together.
Card Base measures 7 1/4 inches x 5 1/2 inches, score at 3 inches
Coordinating card stock measures 1 /2 inches x 4, score at 1 inch — this is the tab/arm for your fun fold
Card stock measuring 3 1/4 x 3 1/4
Basic card stock measuring 3 x 3. This is where you’ll add a die cut and/or stamp and sentiment. I inked the Rays of Light stamp set with Crushed Curry and “stamped off” on a scratch paper and then applied the stamp to my 3 x 3 square. The sentiment is stamped in Pacific Point and the swim suit in Melon Mambo.
Designer Series Paper measuring 5 1/4 x 2 3/4 and 5 1/4 x 1 1/4
Color card stock 1/4 x 5 1/4
Basic White measuring 5 1/4 x 4

When I first “spotted” it in the catalog, Stampin’ Up!’s Dots and Spots Die intrigued me! (Find it on page 170 of Stampin’ Up!’s 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.) It’s the large die that creates the dotted background seen in the card above.
It normally sells for $32, but beginning today (August 2, 2022), earn it free with a $100 order before shipping and tax. Yes, Stampin’ Up! has added to its SaleABration options. Click here to see the original brochure. (Please note: These are available while supplies last. The Soft Seafoam and Pool Party Notecards and Tree Lot Dies have already sold out. So, if there’s something you want, I encourage you to get it sooner rather than later.)
New SaleABration Offerings
Here’s a graphic that shows the other options now available. SaleABration means your choice of free products for minimum orders of $50 and $100 before tax and shipping.
Back to today’s card! The Dots and Spots Die makes a great background or you can use it as a stencil. I played around with it and created a few cards, sharing one of them — in a couple of different color combinations — with you today.
This card also uses Stampin’ Up!’s Sunny Splash stamp set from Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog. I’m drawn to the bright and cheery colors of Melon Mambo, Pool Party, and Mango Melody. I switched them around to create different versions of the same card.
