Sunday Showcase…Customer Thank You Gifts

May 17, 2026May 17, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

I was very busy last week cutting, sorting, and packaging the May Product Shares. I am happy to report they are in the mail and should arrive in your mailbox next Wednesday (according to tracking). I do have one extra share if anyone is interested. Click HERE or on the image below for all the details. When you see all the pretty papers, ribbon, and embellishments you will want to create with all of it!

Today I am sharing the customer gifts I included with each product share. I appreciate each and every order and love to create a little something as a token of my appreciation. This month I created a useful tool I use all the time! As you know, I love punches!!! Here’s why…
PUNCHES
– Are a quick and easy way to create paper shapes that add interest to craft projects.
– Are a great way to cut out stamped images—many of our stamp sets have coordinating punches.
– Are high quality, affordable, and easy to use.
– Have a sleek body style.
– Feature a large surface area for precise cutting and leverage.
– Lock to store.
– Are slim and stackable.

Punches make creating quick & easy, especially when it comes to adding sentiments. I created “templates” using our current label punches to make it easy to see which sentiments fit without having to pull out each and every punch.

I absolutely love the NEW Rounded Rectangle Punch in the May Catalog! I know this will get a lot of use in my crafting projects!!!

Add a classic punch shape to your crafting supplies with the Rounded Rectangle Punch. Use to punch out stamped sentiments or as a basic shape for your punch art paper projects.
You can purchase this punch separately or as part of the Exciting Times Bundle.

Pair all-occasion sentiments with a clean, sophisticated frame using the Exciting Times Bundle. The sentiments and images are sized to work with the coordinating punch, making it easy to add thoughtful greetings in no time.

These templates make it so quick & easy to see which sentiment fits within each punch.

I’m sure you have many sentiments that work with punches! Another favorite of mine is the Three Banner Punch. This punch also has a coordinating stamp set, Banner Sayings; however, it works with many other stamp sets as well!

It’s fun to play around and see which works best…there are so many possibilities!

If you follow my blog, you probably know that with me, it’s all about the presentation. I made my favorite “quick & easy gift packaging” using a 4×6 piece of DSP and Stampin’ Up! Clear Envelopes.

My punch templates measure 3 x 4. I folded the 6 x 4 DSP in half and placed the templates inside. These fit nicely in a Clear Medium Envelope which folds and seals. To keep this quick & simple, I stamped and punched the sentiment from Sharing Loving Crafting and adhered to the front! When you have to make multiple gifts you want something pretty & simple and this did it for me!

I also like to include a thank you card and I created this gift packaging to coordinate with the In Color pocket cards I shared previously.

A Quick Tip for Cleaning Your Blocks, Customer Gifts, Blog Candy, and More!

January 29, 2025January 30, 2025 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 14 Comments

I started the new year off with a long over due cleaning and reorganizing my craft room! It feels good to start off with a clean space! When it comes to cleaning my blocks I would put it off as long as possible. Until recently that is! I discovered the surplus of alcohol wipes I had leftover from my foot surgery work great for cleaning my blocks! No more trips to the sink to wash and scrub…the alcohol wipes make clean up quick & easy and leave my blocks sparkling!

I keep my blocks in the top drawer on my right for quick & easy access when stamping. Here’s a peek inside.

I purchased the alcohol wipes from Amazon.

Sending Smiles with the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder

January 22, 2024 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 26 Comments

I am going to have to add to the list of My Favorite Things from the Mini Catalog! I have been playing with the new Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder and it is AMAZING!!! I created this set of cards in no time and I have a pile of hearts leftover to make more!!!!
Stampin' Up! Sending Smiles and Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder all occasion card ideas-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Previously I posted some embossed cards I created using Color Buddies. If you you missed that post you can check it out HERE. Today’s cards showcase more Color Buddies…using DSP instead of just cardstock. I had so much fun putting these cards together. Here’s a closer look at each.

Look how pretty it is embossed!

Measurements:

Card base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Basic White Layer: cut 2 @ 4 x 5 1/4 then cut using the largest Stitched with Whimsy Die
Cardstock: cut 2 x 6 strips for each color with *Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder
DSP (6×6 Designer Series Paper Assortments): cut 2 x 6 strips with *Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder (*See cutting tips below.)

I used the Sending Smiles stamp set on all these cards. I love this stamp set!! It includes nine versatile sentiments to use for any occasion! There’s also thirteen images that arrange to create a wide variety of floral designs.

Whatever the occasion, you can create beautiful cards with heartfelt thoughts that will bring a smile to whoever receives it! It is available as a bundle with dies to coordinate (Save 10%).

I love how this stamp set worked so well with the hearts I cut and embossed using the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder.
Stampin' Up! Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder-for inspiration and ordering information visit juststampin.com-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This collection of hearts will help you create crafts that are perfect for anniversaries, Valentine’s Day celebrations, and any other love-filled occasion! It’s easy to share the love with the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder! I love that you can cut and emboss at the same time. I have had several people ask how it works. Here’s a few tips and reminders…

I cut my cardstock and DSP 2 x 6 so I could cut/emboss 3 colors at once.
To die cut & emboss at the same time, place the dies inside the embossing folder with the cutting edge up. You will be able to feel them fit in place. Add your cardstock on top of the die and close the EF. You will run this through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using just the platform base (#1) and the #4 plate. (*There’s visual reminders right on the base plate.)
Always feed the embossing folder through your machine with the hinge end going through first. (*The Stampin’ Up! Logo will be at the bottom of the EF going through last.) You get 9 beautifully cut & embossed hearts each time!
When you just want to die cut (like I did with the DSP) you will use the platform base (#1), thin die plate (#2), cutting plate (#3), paper, and a second cutting plate (#3) on top. *You make a “sandwich” with your paper and die between the cutting plates.
When die cutting DSP you can actually cut 2 pieces at once. I was able to cut 6 2×6 strips at once which made it quick to cut all the different hearts for today’s project!

There is so much more you can do with this hybrid embossing folder….I plan to use the leftover negative strips for some fun shaker cards and more! Subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss out!
