I love this kit! It’s quick & easy to put together and makes such fun cards! You can create the cards as intended or add your own twist.

I created fun coordinating gift boxes using the card bases and the Cracker & Treat Box Dies.

How fun are these?! The Cracker & Treat Box Dies make these just as easy to make as the cards! Look at all the dies included in this set!

I love how they look together. It’s a great way to give a little something with the card.

The candle die on the treat box is from the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. You can save 10% when you purchase the Charming Sentiments Bundle. This is such a great sentiment set to have!

Stampin' Up! Painted labels Dies and Hues Of Happiness nugget treat holder idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
These table favors hold 3 Hershey Nuggets wrapped in a 1 x 3 piece of DSP and adhered with Mini Glue Dots. A quick & easy project. I created these with time to spare an hour before my dinner guests arrived! Here’s a peek at the side view.
Stampin' Up! Hues of happiness Hershy Nugget Treat holder idea with Painted labels Dies- Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I used the Blossoming Happiness Dies to cut the flowers and leaves from the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. The Hues of Happiness Suite was #1 on the list of My Favorite Things from the annual catalog! It is so versatile and I have used it for  many projects!

My inspiration for today’s project came from the Halloween treats I made back in 2017. You can click on the image below to view the original post with the tutorial to make these.

Celebrate with Me…One of My Favorite Card Designs

Thanks for stopping by and helping me celebrate my 10th anniversary as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator this month. Don’t forget to leave a comment to enter my 10 Days of Giveaways! I love sharing some of my favorite products, exclusive tutorials, card kits and more! Welcome to Day 7! Today’s project is one of my favorite “go to” card designs.
Stampin' Up! Lucky Clover St. Patrick's Day card idea for a friend- Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love the way this floral DSP looks like it could be a field of clover! You can get the 6×6 Designer Series Paper Assortments in all of the different color families (Brights, Neutrals, Regals, Subtles, and In Colors). I used Granny Apple Green from the Brights Collection.
Stampin' Up! 6x6 Designer Series Paper Assortment in Brights-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I really like all 4 designs in this year’s assortment packs. I’m a big fan of polka dots and florals and love that I can get them in every color now!
Stampin' Up! Lucky Clover St. Patrick's Day card idea for a friend- Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I used the Lucky Clover stamp set to create today’s cards. If you were lucky enough to get the bundle before the punch sold out, good for you! However, if you didn’t, no worries! This is a fun stamp set on it’s own! And you can easily fussy cut the clover if you want.
Stampin' Up! Lucky Clover stamp set- Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I remember spending hours when I was young sitting in the grass looking for 4 leaf clovers! (I know for a fact they are hard to find! LOL) Today’s card showcases this stamp set and you don’t need to punch or fussy cut. I like the look when you stamp a sentiment and image on top. I used the Layering Circle Dies to cut the sentiment out and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stampin' Up! Lucky Clover St. Patrick's Day card idea for a friend- Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I added the cascading shamrocks with the sentiment on the inside and stamped the envelope to coordinate.

I love this card design for several reasons: it’s quick and easy, showcases the beautiful DSP, and can be used with many different sentiments. It is obvious from the collection of cards below that I use this design a lot!

You can alter the size of the DSP depending on what you are adding. For today’s notecard, I cut my DSP 3×3 so you get 4 cards from 1 6×6 sheet! I added a coordinating cardstock layer that is just 1/8″ larger. Notecards are my favorite for thank you cards and a quick little note when I need to send multiples!  You get 20 pre-scored cards & envelopes in a pack! I love to get a big bang for my buck and this does it! I usually add at least one pack of notecards to every order! They come in white or vanilla.

*Tip: For a regular A2 card, cut the DSP 3×4 to get the best use of your 12 x 12 DSP.

My daughter and my sister are visiting this week and we are having so much fun together! I love to make little favors to leave in their rooms or on the dinner table throughout the week. I found a different twist to my pretzel m&m’s recipe that is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. These are made with Rolo candy in the center to keep the “shamrock” together. They are so cute and oh so yummy!!!!!
