Amy Rich, Stampin' Nut

I couldn't be more excited about this project because I love love love creating 3D projects with paper! For Project #11 in The 12 Projects of Christmas, I focus on making four charming Christmas tags paired with a custom tag box. The highlight of this project is the tag box, crafted from Crumb Cake and Basic White cardstock, designed to hold the tags neatly and make a perfect gift set or to store tags you'll use yourself. Creating the Christmas Tags The four Christmas tags I

Occasionally I get a wild hair to do something a little nuts when I'm crafting, but more often than not, it turns out great, so it's worth taking the risk. This is one of those times where I was starting to think it was a bad idea, but then when it was done, I had convinced myself it was the right move. That move was the iris folding technique. What is iris folding? ⭐ How it works A template  is placed behind an opening cut into cardstock (for example, a heart, star, circle,

It's not often I use two different Paper Pumpkin kits for two separate 12 Projects of Christmas projects. In fact, this is the first time this has ever happened! With my recent time away from my studio, I've taken a bit of a break from the 12 Projects, but I'm back with Project #9, made with November's Wrapped in Cheer Paper Pumpkin kit. As always, if you are not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, this simple fun fold card would look amazing with other products, as well. Not only is

With so much on tap at the Rich house, It's been a bit since I've been able to prepare the next project for you. But it's worth the wait! This one uses a simple color blending technique for our background and a ribbon trick that could be a game-changer for people don't feel they can properly tie knots or bows. So after a long-awaited break, here we are: Project #8! Oh, my goodness...so pretty! It features the Jolly Holly Bundle - a stamp set and a coordinating Hybrid Embossin

If you watched Project #5, you know that sometimes I share fun folds that are a little crazy. Fun, no doubt, but crazy. Lots of pieces of paper, lots of steps. And I love it! BUT, sometimes it's ok to tone it down, and this Project #6 is the perfect example. Sooooo cute! The focus of this sweet little card are some stockings made with the A Little Cheer Bundle. This bundle became available in July's Online Exclusives release. I had to have it because I just love those punches

Every once in awhile I run across a fun fold card and know immediately that I need to make it. This is one of them. And then when I opened my October 2025 Paper Pumpkin kit, I knew immediately it was the kit's contents I wanted to use to make this amazing card. I knew the large ornament from the kit needed to be the focal image. The Diamond Pillar Pop-up card I originally saw was from Lisa Curcio, but because I was using the Paper Pumpkin Kit's card bases for my decorative la

Have you been waiting like I have for a 12 Projects of Christmas fun fold card? This is it, and it's a fun one! I designed this card around Rachel Tessman's Standing Tiered Accordion Fold card, and the North Pole Delivery Specialty Designer Series Paper is absolutely perfect for it. It's a specialty paper because it includes two sheets of die cuts that coordinate with the rest of the paper. And this one is soooo cute! North Pole Specialty Designer Series Paper pack The two sh

Oh, the weather outside is frightful! Well, maybe not yet, but it's coming eventually here in southern Minnesota...and Project #3 of this year's 12 Projects of Christmas is preparing us for this year's winter weather. We've got snowflakes. We've got glitz. We've got glimmer. And we've got a project you're going to want to make! Was I right? This is gorgeous. What makes the glimmer so...glimmery? It's the Peaceful Garden 12" x 12" Glimmer Paper. The colors listed on the packag

One Sheet Wonders. They're fantastic for several things: Using up sheets of Designer Series Paper :) Great for any type of paper crafter, from the novice to the seasoned You can put a bunch together in a flash! When I was planning these 12 projects of Christmas earlier in the Fall, it was an easy decision to include a One Sheet Wonder because of all of the gorgeous Designer Series Paper currently in Stampin' Up!®'s online store and in our catalogs. I chose to use the Traditio

It's that time of year again, and I couldn't be happier to share the first official Christmas project of The 12 Projects of Christmas 2025! I have lots of fun in store for you this year, and I hope you're excited to come along for the ride! Project #1 is a product of the stunning Modern Christmas Suite Collection from the September 2025 release of the Online Exclusives.
