Hello . It’s Wednesday, and that means it’s time for some stamping fun! It’s been a week full of creativity, colour, and a touch of holiday sparkle! ✨ I kicked things off with Unexpected Fun Fold Card featuring the Notes & Totes Bundle, paired with the bright and cheerful Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper — full of personality and pizzazz! I even added a
handmade gift card holder to make it extra special.
Then came the July Paper Pumpkin Kit – Sweeter With You, where I created three fun alternative cards using the kit and the Circle of Season Add-On Dies. Then we jumped into festive mode with a gorgeous Christmas card featuring the Peace On Earth Bundle and the easy, elegant 3-3-3
technique. You’ll also find a free card tutorial using the Mixed Media Floral Suite — complete with some tiny bee trinkets and a twine bow — to help you create something sweet and full of charm. Let’s take a look at everything you may have missed! Stampin'

THIS HAPPENED LAST WEEK IN MY CRAFT ROOM This week, I'm shining the spotlight on the Notes and Totes bundle and a three part colouring series.
Tuesday, July 22, 2025 I went live on July 22 at 7:30 PM (PT) and it was as sweet as can be, with the July 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Sweeter With You and had so much fun creating three alternative cards! I also featured the Circle of Season Add-On Dies
to give each design that perfect finishing touch. Whether you joined me live or are catching the replay, these projects are simple, cheerful, and a great way to spread a little handmade kindness.
