Cap & Gown Gift Card Envelope

Image
This week I listed a some Graduation cards and some charms on Etsy.  I was thrilled when I got an order within the first day!  Two of the things ordered were graduation cards.  I knew that I would have to make one because the sample was from 2022.  The other was a gift card holder that looked like a cap and gown.  Well, I hit a snag.  I couldn't find the card in my stash, I couldn't find it on my blog, I wouldn't find it on my YouTube page and I couldn't find it in my notes.   I found a gift card holder, made with the Envelope Punch board, but when I cut it, it was much larger than the gift card holder I had made. So.......what did I do? I found one with the right size cardstock, gathered my supplies and started a video.  Unfortunately I have a tendency to slowly move off camera range.  The card turned out perfect!       The video was really bothering me. so I redid it last nig...

Sweet Jar Shaker Card

To be honest I first bought the Sweet Jar stamp set and jar punch, it was for making my 2026 calendars.  It was the only thing I found in the catalog which shamrocks for my March calendar. It also has stamps for Easter, birthday and Valentines.  I thought it would make a great shaker card.  Then in the winter mini catalog they came out with the Jar of Joy stamp set that coordinates with the jar punch, so I bought that too. This week I decided to make a shaker card, first I tried to do it simply by using a clear envelope, but my sequins wouldn't "shake". Too dry here in Minnesota. So I went with the traditional shaker card.  (You can find my simple shaker card video on YouTube click here to for video ) The nice thing about this stamp set is that you can also use it for Easter, St. Patrick's Day and   birthdays and also Christmas, if you have the Jar of Joy stamp set.

KIts Collections 2026 Case Inserts

 This is a listing of the 2026 case inserts for the Stampin' Up!© Kits Collection.  The case inserts fit the Stampin' Up!© DVD type cases, "Clear Mount Stamp Cases" #119105.  Primarily I just do the card kit case inserts, since they are the ones that have stamps.  I also store extra pieces in the cases.  Click here to purchase Previously all of our stamps came in these DVD cases, which is how I store all my stamps but since Stampin' Up!© has gone to an envelope type case for their stamps & dies, I'm not sure how long they will have these available.  I have found two sources for cases besides Stampin' Up!©, here are the links:  Walmart  and  CheckOutStore   I have also been making case inserts for my stamps that come in envelopes, for my personal use. There are too many stamps for me to do this for all the Clear/Photopolymer stamps in the catalog and the Online Exclusives.  If there is one that you would like drop me a line....

Kits Collection 2025 DVD Case Inserts

Image
A couple of years ago, when Stampin' Up!© came out with the Kits Collection, I wanted to be able to store my Kit stamps the same way I do my regular stamps, so I created case inserts. I thought maybe there may be others who would like these, so I started to sell them on my website.  That original website has now been deactivated and have move them here.  I may have missed a few from 2025, if you are aware of one I have missed, please let me know.
