Wild Bunch Card Class: 3 Cards + Treat Packaging with Stampin’ Up!’s Product of the Month

 This week’s free class was all about the Wild Bunch stamp set, which is the current Stampin’ Up! Product of the Month. And oh my goodness — these little critters are just plain fun.

We made 3 cards and 1 treat packaging project featuring the penguin, koala, snail, and cow images from the set. I usually make three projects in a class, but there were four cute critters… so clearly we needed four projects. That’s just good crafty logic. 😉

Project 1: Penguin Thank You Card

Our first card featured the adorable penguin image. I used a masking technique to make three penguins look like they were standing together, then added one extra cut-out penguin on top with dimensionals.

This card also used a mix of Stampin’ Blends, colored pencils, and a blender pen for soft shading. It’s a simple way to add detail without making the card feel complicated.

Project 2: Koala Birthday Card

The second card was a sweet birthday card with a peekaboo-style window. The koala is stamped on the inside layer so he shows through the circle opening on the front of the card.

Then I stamped and colored a second koala, cut out just the head, and popped it up for a little dimension. It gives the koala such a cute look.

Project 3: Snail Fun Fold Card

For the third card, we used a fun fold layout with the snail image. I used mirror stamping so the two snails could face each other.

This one also uses patterned paper with a woodland/mushroom feel, called Cute As A Bug DSP, which was perfect for the snails. A little Wink of Stella gave them just enough sparkle.

Project 4: Cow Treat Packaging

The final project was a treat holder using the cow image from Wild Bunch and the Playful Packaging Dies.

This would be such a fun idea for party favors, little class gifts, table treats, or a simple handmade surprise. I used chocolate in the package, but there are lots of treats that would work.

Featured Product: Wild Bunch Bundle

Sweet Bugs Mystery Stamping Card | Fun & Easy Cardmaking Tutorial

This week’s Mystery Stamping project was such a fun and cheerful one! For Mystery Stamping #121, we created a cute handmade card featuring the Sweet Bugs Stamp Set and Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!

I love how bright and happy this card turned out. The patterned paper does so much of the work, and the stamped little bug image makes the card feel playful and sweet. It’s the perfect kind of card to send to a friend just because.

Sweet Bugs Mystery Stamping Card

Mystery Stamping is always a fun way to create because we start with the pieces from the clue/supply list and then assemble the card together step-by-step. You don’t know exactly what the finished project will look like until we’re done, which makes it a little crafty surprise!

For this card, I used:

• Sweet Bugs Stamp Set

• Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper

• Coordinating cardstock

• A simple “hello friend” greeting

• A few little embellishments for extra detail

As always, you can follow along with the same products or use what you already have in your craft room. This layout would work beautifully with lots of different patterned papers and stamp sets. Here's the clue:

A Fun & Easy Handmade Card Idea

This card is a great reminder that cute cards don’t have to be complicated. A few layers of pretty paper, a stamped focal point, and a sweet sentiment can come together to make something really special.

The Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper adds so much charm to the background, and the Sweet Bugs images are just plain fun. This would be a great card for friendship, encouragement, or happy mail.

Splash & Relax Card Class: 3 Summer Card Ideas with Stampin’ Up!

 Summer showed up in the craft room this week!

For this class, I used the Splash & Relax Bundle from Stampin’ Up! to create three cheerful summer cards. This bundle is an Online Exclusive and is full of fun little beach-themed pieces — flip-flops, sunglasses, beach balls, sunscreen, a drink cup, a life preserver, and cute greetings to go with them.

This class ended up having more die cutting than I expected, but the finished cards were worth it. Adhesive sheets were a huge help with all those tiny pieces, especially the sunglasses and flip-flop straps.

Card 1: Embossed Hello Sunshine Card

The first card is a bright embossed layer card with a fun “Hello Sunshine” greeting. I used a Coastal Cabana background and added lots of beachy details, including a life preserver, flip-flops, sunglasses, a visor, a beach ball, and a drink cup.

This card is a good reminder that even a simple card layout can feel extra special when you add texture and layered die cuts.

Card 2: Bright Striped Card

The second card uses bright striped designer paper and three little framed summer images. I added flip-flops, a beach ball, and sunglasses to small stitched squares, then placed them across the front of the card.

The greeting, “It’s your day to make a splash,” makes this one perfect for a summer birthday or a happy just-because card.

Card 3: Beach Towel Fun Fold

The third card is a fun fold with a beach towel feel. I used the upcoming Swirls of Magic Embossing Folder on the background to create the look of sand, then added a striped designer paper layer as the beach towel.

A few little beach accessories finished it off — sunglasses, sunscreen, and flip-flops. This one is such a fun way to use embossing folders and designer paper together.

A Few Helpful Tips

Adhesive sheets are your friend with this bundle. They make those tiny die-cut pieces much easier to assemble, especially the flip-flop straps and sunglasses lenses.

I also liked using darker cardstock for the sunglass lenses and adding a little shimmer with Wink of Stella. It is a small detail, but it gives them a fun finished look.

Current Happenings

The June Product of the Month is the adorable Wild Bunch stamp set. It is such a cute one, and I’ve already had fun creating with it.

Last night's Mystery Stamping was filled with creativity, laughter, and plenty of surprises as we worked through the clues together to create this fun fold birthday card.

For this week's Mystery Stamping project, I featured the adorable Wild Bunch stamp set, the June Product of the Month. The charming little cow makes the perfect focal point for a cheerful birthday card and adds just the right touch of country charm.

Why I Love This Card

This project combines several things I enjoy:

• A fun fold that adds interest without being difficult
• Designer paper doing much of the work
• Simple coloring for a personalized touch
• A design that works with many different stamp sets

The clue:

The fold creates a card that feels a little extra special while still being easy enough to recreate with supplies you already own.
