I know it’s been a minute since you’ve heard from me, and I’ll be posting about that soon, but can we just talk about how cute the Cozy & Bright Kit is?!
I recently moved and left AAALLLLLL my Stampin’ Up! products behind. Don’t worry! I’m going back for them later, I just won’t be able to get them for a little bit. That’s why I got the Cozy & Bright Kit. I knew I needed an all-inclusive kit to get jump started in my creativity.
The orange slices and cinnamon sticks are a HUGE part of my plans for this year’s Christmas decor so imagine my delight when I opened this kit to see those beautiful embellishments staring up at me! You can see me put this card together and catch up on where I’ve been in my YouTube video below.

I am SO excited to share my project from the brand new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog with you! I used the new Hues of Happiness Suite which includes the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set and coordinating Blossoming Happiness Dies as well as the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper AND the Glossy Dots Assortment.
Creating from a suite makes an entire project effortless! You know that all of the products will coordinated beautifully and you can make SO many different designs!
For my project today, I decided to make a cute little floral box for a very dear friend of mine. This box is 2″ x 2″ x 4-1/2″ and is made from a piece of Starry Sky cardstock.
I used the Gilded Leafing as a beautiful gold accent on the top and stamped the sentiment with Starry Sky on Basic White Cardstock. I stamped the flowers and greenery with Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party and used the same colors to water color the images. I also sprinkled in some of the Sweet Sorbet and Tahitian Tide for dimension on the images.
I tied the box together using the Pool Party Sheer Ribbon, which is a returning favorite.
I don’t have a coordinating YouTube video today, but I’m hoping to film one for this adorable little box soon! Make sure you are subscribed to my YouTube channel so you know when it is posted.

Box Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ DSP: 1-7/8″ x 4-3/8″ (x4) Basic White: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″
Directions:
Score at 2″ on every side. Score at 4″, 6″, and 8″ on one side. Fold all score lines. Cut up all short sides to create flaps. Glue 1/2″ strip and fasten box together. Glue one end shut. Use ribbon to keep the opposite end closed after filled.
Hello Foil Card from Sale-A-Bration 2022 Friendly Hello
If you saw my first and second posts using the Friendly Hello stamp set and coordinating DSP from the January through February 2022 Sale-A-Bration flyer, then you might recognize all of the elements in this card! I wanted to show how easy it is to come up with several design layouts using the exact same materials!
I struggled a little on the design for this card because I really wanted to use the ribbon, but ended up leaving it off. I used just a few of the elements I cut out from the first card. I love how this card turned out, even though I wasn’t able to make the ribbon work.
The colors on the card are so soft and I think they work really well with the gilded leafing, or gold foil. I could seriously make these cards all day long! There’s just something about the airy-ness of the gilded leafing that is so fun to play with.
If you are curious to see how I came up with my design for today’s project, be sure to watch the video below, and please consider subscribing to my YouTube channel! It would mean so much to me and would allow me to continue making content like this for you to enjoy!

I wanted to mix things up a bit and try something I haven’t done before, but still make the card easy and quick! Sometimes when you just sit down and have a go at it, you can be surprised with what you can come up with. I’m not sure if I love how I placed the gilded leafing, and looking at it now I do think I could have done a few things differently. But that’s all part of the learning process for card design, isn’t it?
What I DO love about this card is the layering I did for the bird, the sentiment, and all the accent pieces on top of the DSP. I think this is so lovely and I’m very pleased with how it came out. This is one of my favorite sets from the past few Sale-A-Bration seasons, and I think it will have a forever home in my craft room! 🥰

Hello Friend Foil Card Details
For today’s project I knew I had to pick the Friendly Hello Bundle from the January/February 2022 Sale-A-Bration flyer. When I saw this adorable, little bird I knew I had to get it on a card right away!
Going into this card, I really didn’t have any idea what it would end up looking like, so when in doubt I always start with stamping! I stamped LOADS of images and then fussy cut them all out. That’s right! I fussy cut them ALL!
You can see just how many pieces I actually fussy cut in my video below. I cut so many because I knew I wanted to make more than just this one card and I don’t have a lot of time to sit down and make projects as often as I’d like.
So stamping and cutting for multiple projects at once saves me so much time! I already have the other projects filmed and I’m really hoping to get them up for you to enjoy THIS week before Sale-A-Bration ends!
When I saw the Gilded Leafing in the catalog I immediately fell in love! The way it elevates the cards speaks to my heart! I have been a fan of metallic foils and accents for a while now and you can bet I stocked up on this stuff!
