THIS HAPPENED LAST WEEK
IN MY CRAFT ROOM
Â
Tuesday, November 25
I went live today at 7:30pm (PT) to show you a chic and elegant treat box, created with the Modern Christmas Suite. This little beauty is perfect for holiday gifting — it’s just the right size for sweet treats, mini goodies, or even a gift card tucked inside. We went step‑by‑step to assemble it, combining the
bold black‑and‑gold palette with festive tree dies and stitched label shapes for a polished, high‑end finish. Quick to make, but with a big “wow” factor — great for neighbours, coworkers, stocking stuffers or table gifts this season.

Wednesday, November 26
My Wednesday newsletter arrived bright and early at 8:00 AM (PT) — always a fun midweek check-in with all of you!
Â
For Wednesday’s live at 7:30pm (PT), I shared a gorgeous Double Diagonal Fun‑Fold Birthday
card using the Petals of Beauty Bundle! This bundle is perfect for layered florals and intricate die‑cuts that give a card real depth and elegance. The fun fold adds movement and interest while still being simple enough to recreate, so if you love soft florals, layered detail and a bit of fold fun — this design is definitely for you.

Thursday, November 27
No public live video today — I spent the evening teaching a private stamping class. It was a lovely time of creativity and connection, sharing techniques and chatting with fellow crafters.
Â
Monday, December 1
This week started at 7:30pm (PT) with a little teaser of what’s to come! I introduced the Pop-Up Petals Bundle — a fresh release from Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives — and showed how quick and fun it is to create pop-up designs with it. I’m so excited about the creative possibilities this bundle offers, and I can’t
wait to share more projects using these delightful pop-up dies.

This week’s free tutorial brings a little touch of winter magic with a Blue Christmas theme that’s both elegant and festive!
Â
Using the
Ornamental Christmas bundle and Seasonal Tags set, this card is  a soft, serene design that’s perfect for sending holiday cheer.Â
Â
The Gold Foil and Peaceful Garden Designer Paper add a luxurious touch, while the Textured Notes dies and Traditional Wreath embossing folder create stunning texture and depth.
Â
To bring in the beautiful blue tones, pair Misty Moonlight with a soft pop of silver, accenting the design with Misty Moonlight Silver Edged Ribbon and just a hint of sparkle from Wink of Stella. The final touch? Hues of Blue Flowers embellishments that tie it all together, creating a truly show-stopping card.
Â
It’s a Blue
Christmas like no other, and I can’t wait to see how you make this one your own!
Â
We’re excited to see your creations using these stamps! Be sure to visit my  facebook VIP Group and share your cards in the Share It Saturday draw!
