Merriest Trees Shaker Card
Every once in awhile, the scraps and leftover pieces on the craft table serve to inspire another project.

Create a shaker card, of course. Today, I'm sharing that fun shaker card project with you.

Circle Sayings for Fall
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.
