I had a client ask for some inspiration for note cards. That request inspired me to pull out one of my favorite ideas for gifting a set of note cards…the Card Clutch. This “purse” holds 4 Stampin’ Up! note cards & envelopes.
This makes a great gift for Mother’s Day, teachers, friends, hostess, birthday, etc. Who doesn’t need thank you cards?! Or simply change the sentiments for an all occasion set of cards.
I used the Flowering Zinnias Suite Collection for today’s project. This suite is part of the NEW ONLINE EXCLUSIVES that will be released tomorrow, March 5th. Be sure to check back to see all the fabulous new items!
Here’s a video showcasing everything included in the NEW Flowering Zinnias Suite.
Flowering Zinnias Suite Collection (#163485) This collection includes the following:
Simply Zinnia Bundle (#163480)
Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder (#163337)
Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (#163469)
Adhesive-Backed Sequins (#163484)
The Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for today’s project!
You need a full 12 x 12 sheet to create the purse and ~1/2 sheet to create the note cards. The pattern I used for the note cards made it quick and easy with just a few cuts.
Here’s a look at the note cards.
Supplies/Measurements:
Card base: Basic White Note Cards & Envelopes (Need 4) 5 x 7 *Come prescored at 3 1/2
DSP (Flowering Zinnias): cut 12 x 12 DSP in 1/2 then cut 4 @ 3 x 4 1/2
Cardstock Layer (Old Olive): cut 4 @ 3 1/8 x 4 5/8
Basic White: Cut 4 strips @ 3/4 x 2 1/2 to stamp sentiment in Old Olive. Trim end at angle.
Embellish with Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies
Emboss envelope flap with Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder
The sentiment is from the Simply Zinnia Stamp Set (Available as a bundle-SAVE 10%).
I fussy cut the flower on the purse from the DSP. *You could create your own flower with the dies/bundle.
The purse is really easy to make with just a few folds…no adhesive needed!

This week is my 11th anniversary with Stampin’ Up! I can’t believe it’s been 11 years already.
I could not have done this for this long without the support from all of you! As a special thank you and to celebrate the occasion, I’m sending out handmade cards with every order this month. The more you order, the more cards you’ll receive …up to 11 cards (in honor of my 11 years as a SU demonstrator) with an order of $100 or more. These are all cards that I have handmade. You can use them as inspiration or send them out to share the joy with others.
Welcome to my ABC Holiday 2019 Series! Throughout this series I will be sharing all kinds of cards, gifts, and ideas to help make your holidays (or back to school) as easy as ABC! Today’s projects use the Apple Builder Punch found on page 49 in the Holiday Catalog. September is back to school month and this post it note holder would make a great little gift for a teacher, student, coworker, or yourself. I know I’d be lost without my sticky notes! This little holder makes it easy to carry in a purse or stand out on a desk!
This project is as easy as ABC! Here’s the details…
Measurements:
Cardstock: 3 1/8 x 8 1/4, scored on long side at 3 1/8, 3 3/8, 6 ½, 6 ¾
DSP: 3 x 3
Directions:
Fold and burnish score lines using a bone folder.
Adhere sticky note pad inside using strong adhesive.
Adhere gingham DSP to front panel.
Stamp apple and leaf using Harvest Hellos stamp set. Punch using Apple Builder Punch.
Use glue dot to adhere leaf and stem to apple. Adhere to DSP with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Wrap Braided Linen Trim around inside flap and tie a bow. *I attached a glue dot behind the inside flap to hold the trim. Slide cover under ribbon to close.
I love to make little gifts and 3D projects. Each month I include a 3D project in my “Just Stampin’ Card Kit and 3D Project Buffet To Go”. This post it note holder was the 3D project included in my kit last month. Would you like to receive my kit in the mail? My “Kit Buffet TO GO!” is intended to make it easy for you to be able to see and try out different products while being able to substitute different stamps you already have. You don’t have to worry about having coordinating designer series paper to go with the cardstock, the right color ribbon to match, or other embellishments…everything is in the kit! You just need to stamp and adhere. There’s just a few spots left to get in on the September kit! (Click HERE for more information and all the details.)
What are your favorite apples? My favorite are Honeycrisp! Oh Yum! One of my favorite fall activities is apple picking! Do you like caramel apples and/or candied apples? I found some caramel apple pops at Walmart and used the Apple Builder Punch to make some quick treats to give to the kids. These were so much fun!
What do you think…do these look like caramel apples? I punched the apple in soft suede then fussy cut it to look like caramel dripping down and layered it on top of the red or green apple. I stamped the candied apple in Cherry Cobbler so it would be a little darker. You could stamp anything on the apples such as Happy Halloween to give out for Trick-or Treat! The apples would make fun notes to put in a child’s lunch box or tags to put on homemade baked goods (apple pie, apple bread, etc.), and so much more! This bundle is so versatile which made it a top choice on my list of must haves! Click on the image below to add it to your collection!

Welcome to my ABC “Sale-A-Bration” Series! This series showcases products from the 2018 Occasions catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochures. Today it is all about family, friends, and fruit with the Tutti -frutti Suite.
Growing up I would go blueberry picking with my dad and 5 siblings. My dad would tie buckets around our waste so both hands were free for faster picking! My mom would bake homemade pie and all kinds of blueberry treats. YUM! I’m not much of a pie baker but I do enjoy making homemade breads and jam. Strawberry season will be here before you know it and I love to make strawberry jam! The Tutti-Frutti suite makes it quick & easy to create tags and gift enclosures to go with homemade goodies (or store bought favorites)!
This little gift card is for Sister Corda’s roommate. After Sister Corda passed away, I have been spending Monday evenings with her roommate. We chat, have dinner together, and watch a few episodes of Longmire on Netflix. Sister Al loves blueberry jam and enjoys some with her bagel every morning. I bought some of my favorite Stonewall Kitchen Wild Maine Blueberry Jam to give to her.
I love to make note cards to go with gifts. To make this simple note card start with a 3 x 6 piece of cardstock and score it at 3″. I added a layer of Night of Navy cardstock that is a 2 3/4″ square. Then I added a piece of 2 x 2 5/8 DSP and some gingham ribbon. The sentiment is from the Fruit Basket Stamp Set, cut out with the new 1 1/8 Scallop Circle Punch, and layered on a 1 1/4 punched Night of Navy circle. I popped the sentiment up with a Stampin’ Dimensional. Quick & easy!
Here’s a quick 1 minute video showing how to make another quick & easy 3 x 3 card using products from the Tutti-frutti Suite!
I will be heading to Hartford, Connecticut in two weeks for Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage convention. I can’t wait to get together with “my people”! Six of us rented a historic home just outside of Hartford so we could be together for a little extended vacation. We are planning to stamp, shop, sightsee, and I’m sure chat until the wee hours of the morning. It is always so much fun when we get together! I made these little gifts using the Tutti-frutti Designer Series Paper for my “Stampin’ Sisters”.
I got this idea from Sam Donald (Pootles.co.uk). I changed mine up a bit and used coordinating DSP rather than washi tape. I bought several different fruit pens and had so much fun making these that I just couldn’t stop! I wanted to try different color combinations and ribbons. I ordered the fruit pens from Amazon. I love the way they coordinate with our DSP! I love the pens with the bauble fruit charms (above) but I also love the way the DSP and ribbon pictured below can serve double duty as a bookmark. Two gifts in one!
I love how they turned out! For the first set of pens (with the charms) I used a smidge smaller than 2 x 8 cardstock, 1 3/4 x 6 DSP in the center, and (2) 1 3/4 x 3/4 strips on the top and bottom. These fit in Stampin’ Up!’s 2 x 8 Cellophane Bags. You get 50 sturdy bags for just $3.00!
I used a sightly smaller piece of cardstock for the other pens (a smidge less than 2 x 7) and cut 3/4″ off the top of the cellophane bags. The DSP measures the same. I used the 1/4″ hole punch to punch an opening for the ribbon. I fussy cut the fruit from the DSP. (You could stamp and punch fruit using the Fruit Basket stamp set and Itty Bitty Punch Pack.) I used glue dots to adhere the fruit pieces to the cellophane bags.
Would you like to receive one of these Tutti-Frutti pens? I am sending one to everyone who places an online order of $50 or more with me in March. It’s my “party favor” and will be included in my birthday party thank you kit for ordering this month! I appreciate each and every order and love sending little thank you gifts and card kits to show my appreciation. I will also be giving one away to a random winner on my blog. Leave a comment sharing something you enjoy doing with friends or family members and you could be the lucky winner.
Yesterday I showcased all 7 suites from the Occasions catalog and asked my readers to share which one was their favorite suite. If you missed that post you can view it HERE. From the comments it looks like Petal Passion is the most popular for it’s versatility and great sentiments! I enjoyed reading all the wonderful comments about the other suites as well. Like me, some of you liked several and have a hard time choosing a favorite!
I have been making so many projects lately using the products in the Tutti-Frutti Suite! You can view previous projects I have shared HERE or HERE.
