3 Cards with the Party Piggy Bundle by Stampin UP! during my Facebook Live with Laura

During my most recent Facebook Live, we had a blast creating these playful and colorful cards featuring the Party Piggy Bundle from Stampin’ Up! This bundle is full of charm and cheer—perfect for birthdays, celebrations, and bringing a smile to someone’s day. I showcased a variety of designs, from bold birthday greetings to punny sentiments like “What’s shakin’, bacon?” Each card highlights the bundle’s adorable pig images paired with fun colors, patterns, and textures.

Video Tutorial! Beautiful Easter Greeting Cross-Themed Card

Video Tutorial! Beautiful Easter Greeting Cross-Themed Card

Create a Cross-Themed Card using Stampin' Up! Products with Laura Milligan - Facebook Live

Isn’t this just the sweetest card? I love how the soft florals and natural textures come together to create a beautiful Easter greeting — perfect for sending a little handmade love this season! I had seen this pop up cross card all over the internet and wanted to make one of my own – so this is my take on it! I’m not sure who’s original idea this is, but it is beautiful, don’t you agree?

I shared this card during today’s Facebook Live, where I walked through all the measurements and showed you step-by-step how easy it is to put together. If you’d like to create one of your own, be sure to catch the replay — I’d love to craft along with you!

Add a little something “extra” but adding some of the vellum to the flap of the envelope! A sure way to let the lucky recipient know there is something special inside!
