This week on my Facebook Live, I shared a super fun and festive project that I couldn’t wait to post here—a handmade Christmas ornament created with the Modern Christmas Suite Collection from Stampin’ Up! Isn’t it gorgeous hanging on the tree?
This ornament comes together with just a few key pieces, and the star of the show is definitely the shaker dome! I filled it with iridescent sequins for a sparkling, snow-globe effect that catches the lights on the tree beautifully. The bold black, white, and gold designer paper from the suite gives it a modern, fresh look while still feeling classic Christmas.
To finish it off, I framed the ornament with one of our metal hoops and added a simple twine hanger. It’s an easy project—and such a fun one! These would make beautiful gifts, package toppers, or even a whole set of handcrafted ornaments for your own tree.

Today’s Facebook Live was such a fun one! I shared a simple-but-stunning pleated card idea featuring the Stampin’ Up!® Elegant Pine Snowflakes Suite — and it’s the perfect little twist when you want your holiday cards to feel extra special without a lot of fuss.
The star of the show is that gorgeous patterned paper. The soft folds create beautiful dimension, and the pine-filled background gives this card such a warm, woodland feel. A layered snowflake, a bit of ribbon, and a clean sentiment are all you need to pull the whole design together. If you missed the live, the replay is available — and you can craft right along with me!
This is one of those layouts you’ll want to try with all kinds of Designer Series Paper. The fold does the work for you, and the finished card feels like something straight out of a boutique.

Blessed to Have You in My Life – Featuring the Amber Autumn Bundle
During my most recent Facebook Live, I shared this cozy, fall-inspired card featuring the brand-new Amber Autumn Bundle from Stampin’ Up! Isn’t this the perfect bundle to celebrate the beauty of the season and the blessings of friendship?
For my card, I paired the Amber Autumn stamps and dies with the gorgeous Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper. The soft, earthy tones are just right for fall and pair beautifully with Early Espresso cardstock and ink. I love how the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder adds a bit of texture and warmth behind the focal image.
Missed the Live? You can catch the replay on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ Facebook Page or on YouTube below.
The sentiment “Blessed to have you in my life” takes center stage, accented with the Irregular Weave Trim and a few Streaked Dots for a rustic finishing touch.
Inside, I kept it simple with another heartfelt sentiment: “Grateful for You.”
Here are the measurements if you’d like to recreate this card:
-
Early Espresso Cardstock – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
-
Very Vanilla Cardstock – 4″ x 5 1/4″ (qty 2 – one embossed with Forever Plaid), 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ (Largest Stylish Shapes Circle Die), 1 1/2″ x 4″ (for words)
-
Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper – 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″, 1/2″ x 5 1/4″
This card came together so easily and would be perfect to send to someone special this season. I always say—happy mail is the best kind of mail! ✉️💛
What do you think—will you be making some autumn cards this year with this gorgeous new bundle?

During my most recent Facebook Live, I had so much fun creating these two pretty cards featuring the Floral Charm Suite Collection. This suite is filled with gorgeous florals, coordinating dies, and the most beautiful designer paper that makes creating a breeze! I love how each card shows off the versatility of this collection—from the soft floral backgrounds to the bold die-cut accents. Whether you need a sweet “Hey” card to brighten someone’s day or a thoughtful “You Made My Day” card, the Floral Charm Suite has you covered!
Missed the Live? You can catch the replay on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ Facebook Page or on YouTube below.
I love the softess of this first card – and the color combination- pulled from the Designer Series Paper (DSP). Colors used are Berry Burst and Pecan Pie. The die cut flower set in front of the circles, creates a lovely focal point. The “hey” sentiment is lighthearted and fun! Who wouldn’t smile when receiving this card! The gems in this suite are equally as gorgeous – Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots – they really do shimmer! This card will go together quickly – just a few panels, a few punched circles and the flower. I have shared all the measurements in my LIVE, – along with my favorite ruler!
Next – if you are a blue lover, like me, this card is for you! I love the subtle DSP – the navy tone on tone, used in the background – and then the pops of color with the coordinating DSP. The large floral image in white, to me, is swoon worthy!
