Four cards in one go with Ringed With Nature Stampin’ Up!® stamp set

Ringed With Nature Stampin Up UK card ideas
 
Today I am sharing a fantastic way to make four cards in one go, using any Stampin’ Up!® stamp set which features a variety of floral and/or leaf images –  I used the Ringed With Nature stamp set.

This technique is ideal for Christmas cardmaking as it’s relaxing, fun and easy – plus, as I said, you get four cards in one go!

Save money with my zero waste shaker card and tags

Budget crafts Stampin Up zero waste shaker card tags

Do you want to know how to save money on your Stampin’ Up!® projects? I am here to help you get the most out of everything you buy, and already own.

As the cost of living crisis deepens worldwide and, it seems, particularly here in the UK, I want you to know that I’ve got your back. I have lots of ideas to help you make your Stampin’ Up!® supplies stretch further, based on years of being a frugal crafter who hates waste and wants to save the planet. 

Today I want to show you my zero waste shaker card and matching tags. Other than the card base itself, everything you see here is made from scraps of Stampin’ Up! cardstock and Designer Series Paper, leftovers from other projects or kits, or actual waste.

This week I am returning to the Spruced Up bundle from Stampin’ Up!® for some more bright and funky Christmas cards.
