A Little Christmas Tunnel Card

Published on October 18, 2026October 18, 2026 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escape—I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

Over the last three weeks, I’ve been working on a special project with you — creating this fun Tunnel Card using the A Little Christmas Suite Collection and Pretty Poinsettia Dies by Stampin’ Up!®.

I’ve had so much fun creating this project and sharing each step with you, and I hope you’ve enjoyed crafting along with me!

So, why did I break the project into three weeks?

Originally, I had considered offering this as a paid workshop, but in the end, I decided I wanted to share the fun with everyone! ❤️

I also knew that creating a Tunnel Card like this involves quite a few steps, and I didn’t want it to turn into an all-day crafting session. Instead, I decided to break it down into smaller, more manageable bites over three weeks.

Luckily, the project naturally fell into three stages:

🎄 Week 1 – Creating the Elements: We made all the decorative pieces that bring our card to life.

✂️ Week 2 – Creating the Structure: We prepared and assembled all the pieces needed to build the base of our Tunnel Card.

❤️ Week 3 – Putting It All Together: We brought everything together to create our finished card, adding all those lovely details that make it so special.

Breaking it down this way meant we could take our time, enjoy the creative process and build our project step by step without feeling overwhelmed.

Thank you for joining me on this three-week crafting adventure! I’d love to know what you thought of creating the project this way. Would you enjoy more projects broken down into smaller, manageable steps?

Happy crafting! 💕

Tired Hexagon Pop-Up Card

Published on May 10, 2025May 10, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

On yesterday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this fun fold card- Tired Hexagon Pop-Up Card. Last week I also show cased this fun fold for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop, this time time I wanted to recreate my card showing how I made it and a few little tips I learnt in making both cards.

For today’s card I used the Heirloom Arrangements Kit by Stampin’ Up! ® to decorate my card.

This card I found on Youtube – Sam Calcott UK- Mixed Up Craft. The card Messurements she used were for a finished card size of 5 x 7 “.

I have converted these measurements for a card size of 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 ¼ x 5 ½”). This means that this card will fit in our standard envelope.

This card is a lot of fun and elements you add brings it alive.

My biggest tip is…..Plan out what elements you want to add, remember less is more. The first one I put everything into it, maybe over filled it. Yesterdays card is paired back a lot, start from the back and build forward, allow room to see the layers behind.

Card Tutorial Bundle for Ukraine – Buy NOW!

Published on March 4, 2022March 4, 2022 by Michele Jutrisa

Tutorial Bundle for Ukraine

In response to the ongoing crisis, we decided we wanted to create a Ukraine Fundraising Card Making Tutorial Bundle.

Who Are we?

The Creativity Abounds Design Team is a group of 13 Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world. We come together every month to create a Tutorial Bundle, hold a blog hop and also host regular online Stamp Camps.

All 13 members of the Creativity Abounds Design Team quickly expressed their interest in helping to bring together this special, additional Tutorial Bundle. As this newsletter is sent, work is underway around the world to get cards designed and tutorials written and compiled.

We didn’t want to wait to start raising money though, because this is timely, and help is needed now. Therefore, the bundle is up for sale now. You can start to order and pay for yours and the tutorial will follow as quickly as we can bring it together. We envision it will be with you by the week beginning 21st March!

The theme for the projects is blue/yellow. I am excited to see what ideas everyone comes up with. I know they are all going to inspire you in your card making – and of course you will be able to change the colour of the projects to suit other occasions.

All the proceeds from the sale of these tutorials will be donated to the International Committee of the Red Cross as a contribution from the crafting community to the work they are carrying out with the people of Ukraine.

Stampin’ Up’s Statement of the Heart reads:

To LOVE what we do and SHARE what we love.

As we help others enjoy creativity and worthwhile accomplishments

In this we MAKE A Difference.

The Creativity Abounds Design Team hope that in sharing what we love with you, together we might make a small difference.
