I combined one of the card templates found on page 12 of Stampin’ Up!’s new January – April 2025 Mini Catalog with the Toadstool Gardens 6″‘ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, found in the Sale-a-Bration brochure, to create today’s fun and easy card. This is the card I chose to present at my bi-monthly class at Potter Wines, a lovely small winery in our community. Even though the winery is only about 12 miles away, it’s far enough away to not ask your hubby to please bring the Die Cutting Machine you forgot to pack. I mention that because my ‘students’ didn’t get to run their card layer through the Die Cutting machine and get the wild and lovely background that’s shown on my two cards below. That fact did not hold them back at all!

This is a fun and quite easy card. Substitute any Designer Paper for the three 1-1/8″ x 2-3/4″ panels. Then choose a coordinating shade of card stock, cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″. Do or don’t dry emboss that card stock layer. Since I **forgot** to take my embossing machine to class with me and the stampers couldn’t do any dry embossing their cards were just as great without it.

Above is my alternative card — you can tell it’s mine because I still had access to the Cut & Emboss Machine and the Embossing Folder!

Kristin is a first timer to my Potter Wine’s class and she beautifully went ‘rogue’ with her card. It’s such a compliment to me when a stamper is comfortable enough to just put their card ingredients together in a way that suites them. Hers is such a fun card!

Isn’t it just FUN to see what other stampers create? This card makes me smile!

This is another alternative using the supplies that were presented. Love those butterflies.
Below are the supplies I brought for “my stampers” creativity. I always offer the path (also know as instructions) for how I made my card and they are always welcome to use their own creativity to make the card totally theirs. I love it!
