Deb's Card-in-a-Box

I love a poinsettia motif at Christmas time, so the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle was a no-brainer for me. And since I hadn't had a chance to play with it before Stamp Camp, I was very excited when I opened Deb's Card-in-a-Box to find a Poinsettia card inside. The Card-in-a-Box Table is a staple at my Craft Retreat. I have 10 volunteers each make a 'Shoebox Swap', where all the ingredients for making a card are included in each box, including pre-cut cardstock. It's great to be able to sit down and make 10 cards without having to think/plan/design.  

These paper poinsettias are just stunning in real life. The Dies are 'Impressions' dies, so you can use the Impressions Plate to give them a 3D effect that you can really see and feel. You can layer as many petals as you like to create poinsettias in all different shapes and sizes. I lightly sponged mine using a Blending Brush to give them even more dimension. The arch shape has been cut from the Shimmering Stripes specialty paper. It's so pretty and shimmery in real life, but quite difficult to capture in a photo!

I couldn't resist making a couple more poinsettia cards, so I'll be back to share those soon.

Vicky's Card-in-a-Box

I realised that I haven't shared the Shoebox Cards that we made at Stamp Camp back in August, so I'll be posting them over the next couple of weeks. They are a staple at my Craft Retreat. I have 10 volunteers each make a card-in-a-box, where all the ingredients for making a card are included in each box, including pre-cut cardstock. It's great to be able to sit down and make 10 cards without having to think/plan/design. 

This card-in-a-box was designed by my lovely friend Vicky. This photo was taken with it sitting in pride of place on my Dad's mantlepiece. Father's Day was shortly after Stamp Camp, so the card came in very handy, and my Dad loved it.  The Scenic Coast 6"x6" Designer Series Paper is a favourite of mine, and the Secret Sea backdrop gives it a very moody feel. 

I'm almost at the end of all the Shoebox cards ... just a couple more to go!

This card-in-a-box was designed by my lovely friend Sam. Her version was actually an amazing Gift card holder fancy fold. I just made mine an ordinary card, because I'm lazy! These balloon dies are so versatile, and I love this colour palette - Lost Lagoon, Flirty Flamingo and Lemon Lolly from the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper. I'll be back with another ShoeBox Card soon.

These dies are so stunning, especially when the colour is lightly sponged on - the effect is so soft and delicate. I'll be back with another ShoeBox Card soon.

Round About Messages Card Set

This week I shared some cards that I made using the Round About Messages Stamp Set (in the September-December 2026 Catalogue). It features everyday greetings arranged in circular designs, with extra words that can sit inside the open shapes or stand on their own. Small icons fit neatly in the centres or scatter easily across your project, giving cards, tags, and backgrounds a playful look that feels fresh and thoughtfully put together. This is a Two-Step Stampin’ set; it allows you to layer two or more images to create one final image with extra texture and dimension in the colours you want.

I've also used the Painted Patch Designer Series paper for these cards, but rather than the pumpkin designs, I've chosen the geometric patterns on the reverse sides. Some of the other items I've used are listed below.

Have a great day!
