Whose ready for some fun? How about this super cute interactive shaker card and treat box, created with the Bonanza Buddies bundle?
Ok, I know you are smiling. How can you not? Just the designer series paper alone makes me happy. As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to create a shaker card. So, let’s start things off with that.
First of all, I needed a bright, happy color palette. I’ve used Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White and Terracotta Tile. Don’t you just love the balloons in the background. It was easy to pull the colors from the paper.
Because I needed some pretty bits to fill my shaker, I cut some hearts using the die from Be Mine Stitched. As a result, I was able to fill the shaker with two colors of the hearts for a truly happy card.
The Bonanza Buddies bundle is filled with all sorts of cute little critters. I chose the toucan for this card. And of course, he needed a party hat and present to complete the scene.
Finally, I added a small strip of the DSP inside the card to tie things together. And I just love it when the set includes larger sentiments to use as inside greetings. Now let’s dive into the sweet little treat box.
While I’ve designed this for a party favor, you could easily adapt it into a gift box for the birthday boy/girl. Another sweet little Bonanza Buddy seems to be celebrating the big day.
Because the set is a two-step set, it’s super easy to line up the little face on the koala. And just look at how much personality that guy has.
Another great feature of the treat box is that it’s large enough to hold lots of different types of treats. What’s in mine? Well, animal crackers of course.

The easel fold is an easy fancy fold with just two simple score lines. Hint, hint, those gorgeous dies did a lot of the work on this card.
By using my Stampin’ Blends, the coloring was very easy. It’s just like when you were a kid and you broke out those coloring books. My suggestion would be to stamp a few of the images and color them up in different color palettes.
When creating your easel fold cards, it’s important to create a “stopper” to keep the easel open. I wanted to add a sentiment from the birthday jubilee set that was more versatile. I think I could use this card for lots of occasions. What do you think?
Did you know you can color embellishments to customize them to any project. I colored the pearls with my dark Lovely Lipstick Blend to give the sentiment more of a pop. Here’s my video tutorial to show you some tips about the birthday jubilee bundle.
Here’s how the magic happens.

Got a birthday gathering to plan? Need a sweet little happy for all the guests? Join me today to learn how to create this sweet Wish for it All treat holder.
The Wish for it All Bundle can be found in Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog. Check it out on page 65. The dies are fabulous and coordinate with a fantastic birthday themed stamp set. In my little happy, I’ve used the color palette of Whisper White, Old Olive, Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry. And guess which designer series paper I used. Check out the flip side of the Peaceful Poppies DSP. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
By adding the panels of the striped DSP, I think this box can be used for any age or gender. It’s also large enough to fill with lots of different types of treats. I filled mine with some gummy carrots from my local Dollar Tree.
One of the best parts about Stampin’ Up!’s inks and paper is the color coordination. Because I wanted my ribbon to pop, I just inked up a sponge dauber with my Calypso Coral ink and changed the color of the Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle. Voila!
The coordinating die set in the Wish For It All bundle, has two doily dies. One of the dies is very detailed while the other is solid. That made it easy to cut the solid die in half to create the top to the cupcake. Want to see how to create this sweet little happy. After watching my free video tutorial, I’ll bet you will be creating a batch.

First of all, it’s the new year. So, we all need birthday cards. The Timeless Tropical bundle, in the Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog, will definately help you with that task.
Because the die set contains that fabulous pineapple image, you’ll be creating one-of-a-kind birthday cards in no time flat. Maybe you’ll decide to add in a couple of thank you cards while you’re at it!
This one came together pretty quickly. I started off with my color palette of Grapefruit Grove, Whisper White, Old Olilve and Daffodil Delight. Seems like a happy color combo, don’t you think?
The Timeless Tropical Bundle contains a versatile 10-piece cling stamp set and a coordinating 13-piece die set. Purchase the bundle and save 10%. On top of that, you’ll earn a FREE Sale-a-Bration item. But, the star of that die set, in my opinion is that pineapple. Due to the way the die cuts, you have so much texture and interest added to your project.
I used a masking technique to get the leaves behind that gorgeous hibiscus. Rather than color the image, I decided on a simplier look on the inside of the card.
Above all, you know we can’t have any naked envelopes. By using my Stampin’ Write Markers I was able to add color to the small pineapple image. Want to learn that technique as well as the masking technique? I can show you how in this video tutorial.
Here’s how the magic happens.

Welcome!! So sorry I’ve been a little absent. I’m still recuperating from that nasty fall I had before Christmas. But, good news, things get a little better every day. Today, I would love to share my Timeless Tulips birthday card with you. I created this one (with the help of my sweet husband) for a recent Trip Achiever’s Card Swap.
Because I wanted to step it up a bit, I also included two of my new favorites. To really make my Timeless Tulips card special, I cut the focal mat with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. Okay, you had me at scallops, but then they added the stitching, perfection!
If you’ve been following me at all, you know I love embossing folders. So much bang for your buck. The new Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder just knocks it out the park.
The Timeless Tulips bundle includes a fabulous 15-piece photopolymer, DistINKive stamp set with an easy to use Tulip Builder Punch. That makes creating cards like this quick, easy and fun.
I wanted a soft, sweet, happy color palette. Chosing Crumb Cake, Petal Pink and Pear Pizzazz achieved that, don’t you think?
Even though I’ve got my right hand in a brace, I thought I would give a video a try. Hope you enjoy it and stick with me while I completely recover from my accident. I’ll be in the brace until February 4th, but will work through the limitation as much as I can.
Here’s how the magic happens.
Card Base – Crumb Cake CS – 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″
