The design with books caught my eye right away - because my (adult) children are avid readers and I knew I could make some cute cards for them.
Other hobbies featured in this pack of paper include plants, baking, sewing, and Spa Days. This pack also includes two sheets of die cut images - great for accents on cards or scrapbook pages.
Here is a peek of the designs that come in this pack of paper.
Just one week until Christmas! How did that happen so quickly?! Hopefully you are finishing up your shopping for friends and family. Now it's time to think about a special gift for yourself!
Purchase the 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat kit and join the fun - LIVE - in an exclusive Facebook Group. Honestly, I wasn't sure I was going to attend the online retreat - until I saw a sneak peek of the products: TWO stamp sets and a set of dies are including in the kit - along with Exclusive Designer Series Paper, card stock, envelopes, die cuts, and embellishments.
Click on the photo below and it will take you to my online store - where you can see the products and all of the cards that you will make at the retreat. Hope to see you there!
Here's a card that I made using a sketch from a demonstrator training group I'm in. I wasn't sure about this sketch at first...but I pulled out the Traditions of Christmas Designer Series Paper - and alternated a dark blue pattern with two of the other, bolder patterns. I think it turned out great! I embossed the center white piece. The "JOY" is from a retired ephemera pack - but there is a similar one in the Greetings for You Mix & Match ephemera pack.
The DSP and ephemera pack have been super popular - but both are currently back in stock, DISCOUNTED, and on the LAST CHANCE LIST. So get them while you can - before they are gone forever. It might be too late for this year's holiday projects - but stock up and get an early start for next year!
Below is the sketch that I used to make my card. I didn't really measure the layers - but cut them down to get the look that I liked - to show off the designer paper patterns.
Here are some of the products I used to make today's card:

I thought I'd share a cute project - that would make a nice little stocking stuffer - or small thank you gift. Watch the video below to see how to make these Post-it Note holders. I made quite a few of these this summer - to give to my friends at the Stampin' Up! Convention.
Here is one similiar to the one I made in the video.
Here is another one that I made - and you can see the inside as well.
This paper is so ADORABLE in real life. It coordinates with North Pole Deliver Suite - but you can make cute cards and scrapbook pages by just jusing the DSP and some additional card stock.
The pack of paper includes 2 each of 5 double-sided designs, and 1 each of 2 single-sided die cut sheets. SUPER CUTE! Grab a pack to make cards for next year - or grab it to make some cute scrapbook layouts!
Below is the sketch that I used to make my card.
