There is an art to being grateful, and expressing heartfelt appreciation is the first step to living in abundant gratitude. This simple card will help:
It’s a breeze to create quickly (watch below), and the combination of Vanilla, Lost Lagoon & Pretty Peacock are the sophisticated part.
Add a few Brushed Brass Butterflies and it’s a luxe & lovely thank you card, wouldn’t you agree?
I appreciate the opportunity to serve YOUR creative needs, as well as your recommendation to other paper crafters. THANK YOU.

Crafter problems: Losing sleep over a project that you’ve dreamed up! That was the situation last night because I was too excited about making this idea come to life:
But I’m getting ahead of myself…
This simple pop-up card uses WINDOW sheets (spiralized) to make the bees buzz with a message of love on Valentine’s Day! The front of the card:
I actually made TWO versions with the Bee My Valentine suite AND a Sale-a-Bration specialty paper (which I’ll show you after the video). They are very easy to create and will be buzz-worthy when my grandkids open them!
Here’s the tutorial video:

Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-Bration is in full swing, and you could choose the Most Adored Specialty Designer Series Paper as a free product with $50 order before it ends on 2/29/24 (or the paper is sold out), in which case, you could ALSO make this version of the Spiral Pop-Up Card:
One side of the paper is Flirty Flamingo and Real Red and the other side is white and GOLD FOIL, which will be perfect to have on hand for wedding season and anniversaries.
When you checkout from my Stampin’ Store, you’ll be prompted to choose Sale-a-Bration product(s) you qualify for! Here’s a cart I’ve started for you (add or take out, as you wish):
Some patterned paper comes as 12″ x 12″ and a few of our fancy designs are 6″ x 6″, so today (and to help you use up your Paper Share!), I’ve got a fun fold slimline card which uses a 6″ x 6″ piece of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper:
On the left is the card closed flat, and on the right, it’s open to see all the panels.
Cut two 2″ wide and two 1″ wide pieces from one 6″ x 6″ piece of pretty paper to fit into each section. You’ll also need a 1″ x 6″ and 2″ x 6″ panel of card stock to fit where you will write a message. The finished size is 3.5″ x 6.25″ when folded flat.
Here’s a different version with a piece of the Lighter Than Air Designer Series Paper, which already comes as 6″ x 6″-
I created a belly band for this one to keep it closed, then when you slide it off, it opens to wish you a Happy Birthday:

Stampin’ Up! catalogs are the first place I look for crafting inspiration! Today I “CASED” a card from the 2023-2024 Annual catalog, but used a completely different set of products!
This was my inspiration (from page 101 of the catalog and the Seaside Bay stamp set):
The “Bee Mine Valentine” suite will arrive on January 4, 2024 for customers, and demonstrators got to pre-order it (a lovely perk of joining!), so I used the stamps, punch, ribbon and Designer Series Paper from the suite of products to copy the layout above. Here’s my version:
The face on that bee just makes me giggle. I imagine he feels like I do occasionally when I tell my husband, “I’ll always love you, I just don’t like you right now.”
Rather than stamping the background, I used a piece of the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper. It’s adorable bees, flowers and honey images on one side are complemented by the opposite side by whimsical, brightly colored designs.
Patterned paper is one of those crafting staple products that help make every project perfect, and you may want a piece of EVERY design in the new mini catalog…don’t worry, I’VE GOT YOU!
48 6″x6″ pieces of Designer Series Paper: One of EACH paper in the mini catalog, including specialty papers!
Only $22 shipped to you (U.S. addresses only) or $18 if you pick up from me in Hurricane, UT.
