Today I’m showing you another cute card we made at the Holiday Shoebox Swap. Halloween is only a month and a half away. Time to start thinking about spooky little projects.
This is made with the new stamp set, Pumpkin Patch, in the Holiday Mini Catalog.
I love that the set includes patterned ovals that you can use for so many other things- think Easter Eggs, balloons, and flower centers!
See the sparkle on the faces? We used the 2-Way Glue Pen to adhere Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. I love that stuff!
And here is a cute little box made with Pumpkin Patch that Stampin’ Up! is featuring on their website right now.


I shared a Shaker Card last week, and today I have another interactive card for you: a Spinner Card!
I love spinners! They are just fun to play with!!
I think you’ll like this one, too.
This card features Flight of the Butterfly and uses the new Butterfly punch. Perfect combo! Love it!
As you tilt the card from side to side, the butterfly spins! I added a sentiment from the stamp set that shows through the spinning section.
These cards are really best seen in person. But I did the next best thing- a video! Its just a few seconds and shows that butterfly move!
This card is definitely going to be one of the projects we make at my On the Move card class. Sign up today!

Earlier this year, my trusty rusty camera started behaving not-so-trustfully. Finally, a couple months ago, it stopped turning on at all. I’ve sent it in for repairs, and got it back- almost fixed. I’ll have to call and send it back again. But, in the meantime, I’ve borrowed my mom’s camera a few times- once for several weeks.
This last time I returned it to my mom, I included a little gift of thanks. I wanted to create something cute, clever and camera-related. And I did just that!
Check out my camera matchbox! Its designed to match my mom’s camera. Its almost exactly the same size. I used my punches, a circle cutter (for the larger ones), dimensionals and 1/4″ basic black grosgrain ribbon.
The back of the camera with my kids’ photo in the “viewfinder screen” holding a thank you poster.
The camera opens up like a matchbox, revealing dark chocolate kisses and a strip of photos.
This project uses Basic Black, Basic Grey and Going Gray, all of which you can find in the Neutrals assortment of card stock.
I am so excited to share with you the best mini catalog ever! Really! Its this year’s Holiday Mini Catalog.
Along with the holiday sets (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas), Stampin’ Up! is introducing three new product lines.
First, there’s Simply Adorned. These are charms and chains that you use to create unique jewelry and home decor.
Also, My Digital Studio- which I am so stoked about!!! Digital (and hybrid!) scrapbooking- the Stampin’ Up! way!!! I’ll share more about that later.
Today, I’m sharing with you the partnership between Build a Bear Workshop and Stampin’ Up! Genius!

Build A Bear Workshop is very popular in my house. My daughter, Esther, got her first Build A Bear for her birthday last year. She loves her Princess Fluffy. We’ll probably take my son to get his first for his birthday later this month. (They’ve got some cool boy styles.)
My kids got SO excited when I showed them the BABW section of the Holiday Mini. They want it all! We’ve got three stamp sets, eight Sizzix dies and patterned paper. They are all fabulous for making cards and scrapbook pages. But with the dies, you can also make super cute and easy paper dolls for the kids, where the can change the clothes and have so much fun! Your kids, grandkids and friends’ kids will have hours of fun playing with these.
On Monday, I went to a demonstrator swap where we made cards with a lot of the Holiday Mini products. I’ll share the rest of the projects later this week. Today I’m sharing the bears. :) Both cards are made with the new set Beary Best Friends.
This is the project I designed:
I stamped and watercolored our cute girly bear using Watercolor Wonder Crayons. Then I punched out the flower and balloon from our new Cottage Wall DSP. (The punches are the Trio Flower & the 3/4″ Circle punches.) I popped those up with Dimensionals. I made the grass using the Scallop Edge punch, like I did with my Upsy Daisy silhouttes card. I popped that up with Dimensionals, too. The background was made with my Big Shot and Stampin’ Up! Backgrounds 1 Texturz plates.
This one was designed by fellow demonstrator Aimee Wayment.
I love how she used Crystal Effects to shine the shoes! Also notice how the skirt is “paper-pierced” using Razzleberry Lemonade DSP.
The sentiment up on the side is from Beary Nice Wishes. They are cute sayings in the BABW font.
Contact me to order your Build A Bear Workshop supplies!

I love cards that have texture, or that are 3-D. I think it makes them more interesting. Some cards go a step further: interactive cards! These cards are so much fun to make- and to receive!
This is a Shaker Card. The focal point is a rubber stamped cupcake that shows through a window holding confetti. You can shake the card and the confetti moves all over the image.
I like to show the cards I make to my kids (they’re actually very constructive critics!). But I have a hard time getting my shaker cards back out of their hands.
They’re too much fun!
I’ll be having a class soon to teach the Shaker card technique, along with the Slider and Spinner cards. I haven’t decided yet whether we’ll be making this particular Shaker, or another one. I have lots of ideas and will let you know when I pin one down!
Here are the details (you’ll be seing more samples in the coming weeks):

I saw this sample that a fellow stamper shared on our demonstrator website and I wanted to share it with you. I love the colors and the balance of the layout. I like the look of the long 3×6 cards.

She used Circus Circus, a stamp set from the new catalog. The saying is from the Upsy Daisy set.
Great job, Susan Legere!
