Hello, my name is Lori McBride and recently I became a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. To tell you a little bit about myself, I’ve been a paper crafter for nearly 15 years and was a Stampin’ Up! Customer for nearly 5 years. I became a Demonstrator in August as a hobbyist but am interested in growing and turning my hobby into a business. I’m happily married to my husband, Rusty, for 13 years and we have three grown children. We have four fur babies. Two dogs and two cats and they are my Craft Companions. Pickle (dog – age 13 years), Tuna (cat – age 4 years), Bitty (cat – age 1 year) and our newest addition, Willa (dog – age 10 months). My degree was in dental but (as life often does) has thrown a few curve balls and so my current occupation (aside from Stampin’ Up Demonstrator) is a Farmhand working on a local farm that does field trips for children throughout the year and sells a variety of pumpkins in the fall and Christmas trees. I volunteer quite a bit of time with my son’s Autism group amongst many other causes that are dear and true to my heart.
I hope that you will enjoy all of the projects that I plan on sharing with you, that they’ll inspire you and to help you grow as a crafter! Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!

*Instructions*
The first thing I did was use a ruler and the Stampin’ Blend Markers to create the stripes on the Matte Base and set aside.
I stamped the daffodil image in Momento Black Ink and hand colored them with the Stampin’ Blend Markers and then used my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to die cut the image out. I then hand glittered them with the Wink of Stella and set aside.
I die cut the Stitched So Sweetly Rectangle with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine.
I punched the label using scraps of Basic White Cardstock. I stamped the label in Daffodil Delight Ink using the “wonderful” sentiment from Special Moments Stamp Set.
I adhered the Matte Base to the Cardbase using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and also used Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the Stitched Rectangle to the Matte Base
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals and Stampin’ Mini Dimensionals to the back of the daffodils and adhered them to the to the Stitched scalloped Rectangle.
I added 2 Stampin’ Dimensionals and one mini glue dot to the back of the stamped label and adhered them in place.
I added the brass butterflies to the card front using my Take Your Pick Tool.
For the inside Cardbase I stamped the “scroll” image from the Daffodil Daydreams Stamp Set in both Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight inks. I stamped the “Happy Birthday” sentiment from the Special Moments Stamp Set in Daffodil Delight Ink.

Good afternoon and welcome to another edition of Cards and Creations by Lori McBride. My name is Lori McBride and I’m a Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrator from Joshua,TX.
Today I’d like to share with you a last minute, made from scraps, middle of the night card that I created using the Peaceful Deer Bundle along with a few other goodies.

There’s nothing worse than hearing the words, “I need more” this time of year. Unfortunately for me, it happens every single year.
Thankfully, I took a look at the scraps that I had left and was able to say, “Yep! I’ve got this!”
I used our standard A2 Cardbase in Real Red Cardstock and trimmed the scraps down to measure approximately (because NO! At 2:00 AM, I’m not measuring anything) 1″×5 1/4″ and adhered them down with some Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I die cut the Black Glitter Paper using the layering Circles Dies and the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine.
I stamped the deer in Sahara Sand Ink and punched it out using the Deer Builder Punch.
I put some Stampin’ Seal Adhesive down over the top of the card front and stuck the Back Organdy Ribbon to the front.
I added Black Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Black Glitter circles and the deer and adhered them in place.
The inside of these cards are going to be basic. Standard 4″×5 1/4″ Basic White Cardstock with a single stamped sentiment.
Thank you for joining me today. I hope that you’ve enjoyed this last minute Christmas card and that you’ll join me again in the new year!
Merry Christmas to you and your family and wishing you many blessings in the new year!!
Good morning and welcome to another edition of Cards and Creations by Lori McBride. My name is Lori McBride and I’m a Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrator from Joshua,TX.
Today I’d like to share with you a card I created using the upcoming *Heart & Home Suite* from the 2022 January-June Mini Catalog along with a few other goodies from the Annual Catalog.
As many of you know, we as Demonstrators got early access to the Catalog during OnStage At Home and I had so much fun with it that I couldn’t resist creating a more Avid Card with it.
I did use both Stamp and Die Sets, Dollies, Designer Series Paper and Ribbon from the Heart & Home Mega Suite but also added the Tasteful Textures Embossing Folder from the Annual Catalog and the brand new *Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels* from the upcoming 2022 January-June Mini Catalog as well. These Rhinestones are so perfect for any occasion that I just couldn’t resist.
This is going to be our last Blog Post of 2021. I’m going to be taking some time off to spend with my family but I wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and will see you in the new year with more exciting projects from the January-June Mini Catalog.
Thank you so much for joining me today. I hope you’ll join me again soon for another edition. Until next time – Happy Stampin’ Everyone!!

Good morning and welcome to another edition of Cards and Creations by Lori McBride. My name is Lori McBride and I’m a Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrator from Joshua,TX.
Today, I’d like to share with you these adorable treat bags featuring the *Peaceful Deer Bundle* which is on Stampin’ Up’s carryover list from the 2021 July-December Mini Catalog. However, when it carries over, Stampin’ Up! will discontinue it being offered as a Bundle with 10% savings so the time to buy is NOW!!!
There’s something very special that I absolutely LOVE about the Peaceful Deer Bundle as I’ve coordinated several projects with them now.
This is also one of those prime and perfect examples of “buy it now and use it later” scenarios because the DSP used in this project was the Peaceful Prints DSP which was from our last Sale-a-bration period and is now retired.
If you’re new to Stampin’ Up! and do not know what Sale-a-bration is but would still like to make this project, it is okay. Stampin’ Up! has many beautiful Christmas 12×12 DSP’s that can be used to re-create this project using these exact same measurements.
As for me, I earned and had 3 full packages of Peaceful Prints DSP during the last Sale-a-bration period and didn’t want them to see it sit there unused anymore!
*Measurements*
DSP 7 1/2″×7 1/2″ scored 1 3/4″ and 6 1/2″
Rotate DSP score at 1 3/4″, 3 1/2″, 5 1/4″ and 7″
*Instructions*
Use bone Folder to burnish score lines. Snip off small rectangle. Cut up square panels to score lines.
Fold top score panel opposite to show opposite panel of DSP. Secure with tear and tape.
On smallest panel place tear and tape and secure to last large panel to form the sides of the bag.
Fold square panels and place tear and tape on final panel and secure to form bottom of the bag.
Pinch the top of the bag at the top and punch holes in the creases using a hole punch. Thread ribbon through the holes tieing knots to secure.
Die cut black glitter paper and Cardstock and glue together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Stamp deer in Sahara Sand Ink and punch with the deer builder punch. Place Black Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the deer and secure to Black Glitter Paper.
Thank you for joining me. I hope you’ll join me again soon for another edition.
Good morning and welcome to another edition of Cards and Creations by Lori McBride. My name is Lori McBride and I’m a Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrator from Joshua,TX.
Today, I’d like to share with you a project that I created using the Peaceful Deer Bundle.
First, let me say that my kids are grown (all over the age of 21 years old) and that lots of people give Scratch Off Lottery Tickets as a little bonus gift which is exactly what I decided to do this year. Normally, people just throw them in a stocking and be done with it but I decided to do a little something special with them this year.
I’ve made all sorts of goodies over the years from gift card holders to cash holders. I just thought, “Why not make Lotto Holders too?”
To give you an idea as to the size of the Lotto Holders, I thought I’d give you a size comparison to other projects that I’ve done in the past.
Lotto Holder (center)
Of course, money holders (bottom – past project) are my largest of the holders.
The Lotto Holder (center – current project) is approximately 3/4 of the size of my standard money holders.
Lastly, my gift card holders (top – past project) are about 1/4 of the size of the full sized money holders and about 3/4 of the Lotto Holders.
As you can tell there’s quite a difference between the three different holders.
Let me start by saying that I did cheat when it comes to the DSP in this project. I am using the retired Sale-a-bration Peaceful Prints DSP for this project but I have a ton of it left (3 full packages) and it really needs to be used up. Maybe you’re like me and have just saved it until the start of the festive season but if not, I want you to know that ANY of our current DSP’s will work with these same measurements and don’t forget that it’s the PERFECT opportunity to shop in my line to save 50% during the Last Chance Sale featuring the July-December Mini Catalog items!!
I’m excited to announce that the Peaceful Deers will carryover into 2022, however, this will be the last opportunity to save the 10% Bundled Savings so again, if you like to save money – The time is now!!!
*Supply List*
Peaceful Deer Bundle
DSP
Garden Green Cardstock
Sahara Sand Classic Ink
*Adhesives*
Multipurpose Liquid Glue
Tear and Tape
Stampin’ Dimensionals
*Other Helpful Supplies*
Take Your Pick Tool

*Measurements*

DSP 1 3/4″×4 3/4″
DSP 2″×4 3/4″
Belly Band 1″×9″ trimmed to fit
All of these projects are so quick, so fast and so easy to assemble. I hope you’ll check out my full tutorial video on my Cards and Creations by Lori McBride Facebook Page and past Blog Posts on how to make the gift card and money holders.
Thank you so much for joining me today. I hope you’ll join me again soon for another edition. Until next time – Happy Stampin’ Everyone!!
