OnStage 2026 - Make and Takes and a fun Mini Album project


Hello Crafty Friends!  I'm putting my GIVEAWAY picture up front and center for this blog post, because I don't want you to miss the opportunity to win it!  You can either click on the picture above, OR click HERE.  Both will take you to my blog post that has the rules/requirements for entering.  Entries close March 31, 2026, so you've got just over a week to put in for your chance to win this stamp set and glue holder that I received at OnStage20206!

Now let's talk about this past Thursday night.  This was a LONG video.  I shared news and announcements that I learned at OnStage, I showed all the amazing SWAPS that I got, I showed products that we received, I showed Make & Takes that we had (but I had not yet finished), and then we made a little Mini Album at the end.

This post is all about sharing the projects that I finished - Make and Takes and the cute Mini Album!  I hope you enjoy them.

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube.   

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.


First up is the Make & Takes from Friday's OnStage activities.  I've included the packaging so that you could see how they intended these two cards to go.   The only thing that I did WHILE I was OnStage was the coloring in of these panels.


Pink one up close.  You can see that I added a little bit of Pretty in Pink ribbon and some rhinestones.


I wanted to die-cut numbers (for a special birthday coming up), and the Bubble Bath Shimmer paper that I have was too light, so I took my Dark Pretty in Pink Stampin' Blend and colored directly on the shimmer paper before I die-cut those numbers out.


Highland Heather card up close.  I added some Metallic Gems, Brass Butterflies, and a ruffle of Gold Mesh ribbon.



Stamps:  Sending Salutations (NEW, coming in the May-Aug 2026 catalog)
Ink: Onyx (Versafine)
Paper:  Pretty in Pink, Highland Heather, Basic Black, Basic White, Artisan Sketched Garden DSP (also NEW, coming in the May-Aug 2026 catalog), Pastels Shimmer paper (Bubble Bath)
Other:  Playful Alphabet dies, Stampin' Blends (I can't remember which colors we used), Pretty in Pink ribbon, Basic Rhinestones, Gold Mesh ribbon, Brass Butterflies, Metallic Gems

Saturday's Make & Takes were a set of Notecards with Envelopes.  The objective of these make and takes was for us to use some of the new 12" x 12" Stencils.  One stencil has this water pattern, and the other has little dots/stripes.  I didn't realize there were two card sets in this kit, so I only stenciled pieces for one.  SO...when I went to actually finish these yesterday, I split the stenciled pieces up and did some stamping to make up for it.  :)

I used the Shell Collecting stamps to stamp backgrounds, and then hand-cut a few pieces for one of the cards.


This one used the stenciled notecard, with two stamped strips.  Added a piece of the Ephemera pack that was included in our Make & Take kit too.


This one got a stamped background, along with the two stenciled strips which I RIPPED the edges.  I added the three hand-cut shells, along with another greeting from the ephemera kit.  I did go back and add Clear Shimmer brush to all of the hand-cut shells AFTER I took this picture.  Just imagine how shimmery and pretty they are.


I finished both cards with some Riverside Irregular Pearls.  White on the first, and Lost Lagoon on the second.

Stamps:  Shell Collecting
Ink:  Crumb Cake, Lost Lagoon, Pool Party
Paper: Basic White Notecards with envelopes, Basic White
Other:  Sincerely Noted Mix & Match Ephemera pack (NEW, coming in May-Aug 2026 catalog), Riverside Irregular Pearls

This FUN Mini Album is 4" x 6" finished, and uses just one 12" x 12" piece of DSP to make the base.  Add whatever other cardstock or doo-dads you want to finish.  I'll do a walk-through of this finished project at the start of this Thursday's (3/26) video.  It turned out SUPER CUTE!

I ended up printing some tiny pictures on my Sprocket printer.  I love that thing for fun projects like this!

NOTE:  This paper is retired.  I just pulled it out to make my prototype, but then I liked it so much I made it my finished piece.


This is just the first inside page that has a pocket on the right side.
Paper Measurements:
  • 12" x 12" DSP (perferably non-directional on both sides):  
    • score at 4" and 8", turn once
    • score at 6"
    • make CUT marks according to the video

and...I just realized that I drew the GLUE marks wrong.  REALLY best to watch the video to see what I did.


Stamps: Stripes & Dots, Reason to Celebrate, Month by Month and Month by Month Alphabet (Virtual Album Retreat 2025), Fabulous Sayings, Sending Salutations, More than Autumn
Ink:  Blueberry Bushel, Shaded Spruce, Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Balmy Blue, Melon Mambo
Paper: Crushed Curry, Blueberry Bushel, Shaded Spruce, Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Balmy Blue, Melon Mambo, Basic White, some 12" x 12" dsp (retired)
Other:  Mini Alphabet dies, Star punches (medium and small), Basic Rhinestones, 

Again, I will flip through the whole book on Thursday night.  Including the cover, I think I got 15 pictures in this little book.  Granted - some are minis, but they still count!

Join me THIS Thursday, 3/26/2026 for a different fun mini album using FOUR 6" x 12" pieces of DSP.  This will be a perfect project for using up some of your paper share sets!  


Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!

OnStage 2026 GIVEAWAY!

Hello Crafty Friends!

If you tuned into my Live video this past Thursday night, you saw everything that I shared from Stampin' Up's OnStage 2026 - announcements, swaps, make and takes, products, prizes, and even a quick mini album project.  I'll share the mini album project and my finished make and takes in another post.  

This post is all about GIVING AWAY one of the stamp sets that we got at OnStage, along with a glue holder that I was gifted in a swap!   I love the glue holder, but I actually have several already so I figured - why not share the wealth?  (Glue is NOT included).  YES.  I'm giving these items away for free, and this is world-wide.  

(NOTE:  I DID contact Stampin' Up on Friday and double-checked.  As long as I'm not selling anything - which I'm not - I can GIVE anything I want to anyone, anywhere).  


This NEW stamp set, A Family Celebration, will be available in the upcoming May-August 2026 Catalog.  This is a great set to personalize your cards or scrapbook projects!  I always love a mix of fonts - print and cursive in this case.   Again, the glue holder is one that I got as a gift.  It looks like a good match to our new In Color - Golden Glow!  

I'm trying to increase my YouTube and Facebook Page subscribers/followers, so there are some things that you need to do to be entered.  I will verify everything before announcing the winner.

Rules to be entered in the drawing - 
  1. You must subscribe to my YouTube Channel - @ToniStamps
  2. You must follow my Toni Tessler, Stampin' Up Demonstrator Facebook Page.  
  3. You must leave a comment on this blog post - tell me what is the first project that comes to mind that you will use this stamp set for!
  4. You can be anywhere in the world.  I'm going to cover the shipping to get it to you. Unfortunately, I can only get tracking on US mail, but I don't foresee any problems.
  5. Contest is open until March 31, 2026.  I will draw a winner on 4/1 and verify all of the requirements have been met.
I will announce the winner here on my blog, as well as post it on my Facebook Page.  You will have one week to reach out to me (email me at tonistamps@yahoo.com), with your mailing address.  If you are international and I need more info for the customs form, we'll figure all that out via email.

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!

Easter and Spring Projects!


Hello Crafty Friends!  I had fun creating some Easter and Spring projects with you on Thursday night.  I've got a few cards and an Easter Basket Treat box to share.  Fun stuff using a few different stamps and dies.  Easter is April 5th this year, so get cracking on your Easter projects if you haven't already.  :)

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube.   

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.


First up is a 4" x 6" size card.  I ended up with this size because I wanted to use these bunny heads from the Seasonal Celebrations stamp set.  I measured the bunny heads, and went from there.  I've got four panels of different DSPs.  Bunnies are popped up, and have Clear Shimmer on their ears.  So cute!  I love this "warhol design", where you stamp the same image multiple times in different colors.

Stamp and hand-cut all the bunnies.

Don't worry about mailing this size card!  You can pop this in a 5" x 7" envelope, or make a custom-sized envelope!


I stamped the greeting on the inside of the card, because I didn't want to mess up the front!


Paper Measurements:
  • Shy Shamrock:  6" x 8", scored at 4"
  • Basic White:  (2) 3 3/4" x 5 3/4", one for inside of card, one to glue dsp panels on to
  • Easter Joy DSP:  (2) 1 7/8" x 2 7/8"
  • In Color DSP:  (2) 1 7/8" x 2 7/8"
  • Basic White:  scraps to stamp/hand-cut bunnies
Finish off with some Party Dots in Pretty in Pink and Peach Pie.

Stamps:  Seasonal Celebrations, Reason to Celebrate
Ink: Lemon Lolly, Shy Shamrock, Balmy Blue, Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Onyx (Versafine)
Paper:  Shy Shamrock, Basic White, Easter Joy Specialty Designer Series paper, 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper
Other:  Party Dots, Clear Shimmer brush

Next I created this adorable Easter Basket Treat Box.  Build the box first, then glue the basket die-cuts on each side.  The hardest part about this was weaving the little colored strips into the basket pieces.  I added a die-cut bunny, some hand-cut eggs and a small bit of Lemon Lolly ribbon.


Side view of the treat box.  So cute!!!


Paper Measurements:
  • Basic Beige (box):  3 3/4" x 4 1/2", scored at 1 1/4" on all four sides.  Watch video for assembly
  • Basic Beige:  large-ish scraps to die-cut (2) baskets
  • Pretty in Pink/Peach Pie/Lemon Lolly/Shy Shamrock:  scraps to die-cut weaving strips
  • Crumb Cake/Pretty in Pink/Balmy Blue:  scraps to stamp and die-cut or hand-cut bunny and eggs
I used some of the easter eggs from the February 2026 Paper Pumpkin kit too!  Those eggs are larger than the one in the Easter Basket stamp set.

Stamps:  Easter Basket Bundle, Celebrate Spring (February 2026 Paper Pumpkin)
Ink:  Early Espresso
Paper: Basic Beige, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly, Shy Shamrock, Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie
Other:  Lemon Lolly ribbon, 

Another Spiral Card!  This time it's full of shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day!  I enjoyed the spiral cards from the previous week so much, I had to make another one.   I stamped and hand-cut (7) shamrocks in Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green, and Shy Shamrock.

I actually used the Summer Splash Shimmer Gems, because that's all I really have left - but they match close enough to the greens.


Paper Measurements:
  • Shy Shamrock:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
  • 2024-2026 In Color (Shy Shamrock) DSP:  4" x 5 1/4"
  • Basic White:  (2) 4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
  • 2024-2026 In Color (Shy Shamrock) DSP:  (2) 2" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
  • Basic White:  enough to stamp/hand-cut all the shamrocks
  • Basic White/Shy Shamrock:  scraps to stamp and layer greeting
  • Transparency/Acetate:  3" x 3"
Inside of the card shows the spiral and shamrocks!


Stamps:  Seasonal Celebrations, Reason to Celebrate
Ink:  Shy Shamrock, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Timid Tiger
Paper: Shy Shamrock, Basic White, 2024-2026 In Color DSP
Other:  2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems, transparency sheets

I ended with a pretty simple card.  Basic White base and layer, with a light background, and some die-cuts.  I only added a little bit of color to this bunny, but I think I ran the Clear Shimmer pen ALL OVER him.  Add a tiny piece of grass and some Pretty in Pink dots.


Paper Measurements:
  • Basic White Thick:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
  • Basic White Thick:   4" x 5 1/4"
  • Shy Shamrock/Basic White:  scraps to stamp/die-cut bunny, grass and hand-cut the greeting
I stamped the Lasting Linen background stamp OFF once to get a lighter version of the Crumb Cake ink.

Stamps:  Easter Basket Bundle, Lasting Linen Background
Ink:  Crumb Cake, Pretty in Pink, Onyx (Versafine)
Paper: Basic White Thick & Regular, Shy Shamrock
Other:  Party Dots (Pretty in Pink), Pretty in Pink Stampin' Blends markers

NO VIDEO this Thursday, March 12th!  I will be in Long Beach, California at Stampin' Up's On Stage (Convention) event.  I'll try to post some pictures of the fun while I'm there.  

Reminder - I am on my third run of Paper Shares for the March 2026 Online Exclusives.  I need THREE more to sign up to fill this batch!  Details are on this blog post:  ToniStamps: Paper Share: March 2026 Online Exclusives!   Email me if you are interested in filling a spot.

Friends of Unity March 2026 Blog Hop: Sketch Challenge!


Welcome to the Friends of Unity Blog Hop for March 2026!  This month's inspiration is a SKETCH!  I love a sketch challenge - it's always cool to see how differently everyone uses the sketch.  For my card, I turned the sketch sideways.  I love it!

I paired the Impeckable Silhouettes chicken stamps with the Chicken Coop papers for my card.  I love the rustic feel of it.

 
Paper Measurements:
  • Cajun Craze:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
  • Chicken Coop papers:  4" x 5 1/4"
  • Very Vanilla:  4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
  • Early Espresso:  2" x 4", embossed with Tapestry folder
  • Very Vanilla:  3 1/4"ish x 4 1/2"ish, cut with Everyday Arches dies
  • Cajun Craze:  scrap to punch out small flower
  • Very Vanilla:  scrap to stamp/hand-cut greeting

Here's a list of everything I used:

Stamps: Impeckable Silhouettes, Whit's Words (both Unity Stamp Co)
Ink:  Early Espresso, Cajun Craze
Paper:  Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Chicken Coop papers (Unity Stamp Co)
Other:  Everyday Arches dies, Tapestry embossing folder (Gina K), Dotted Burlap trim, small flower punch, Neutrals Sequins (copper)

You probably got here from Rachel's post.  Your next stop will be to Jane's creation.  Please hop through everyone's blogs when you have some time.

Thanks for hopping along with us!  If you comment as Anonymous, please leave your name so we know who leaves some love.  

If you're interested in playing along, create your card and head over to the Unity Show & Tell Facebook group and share your creation. https://www.facebook.com/groups/unitystampco

Spiral Cards - so fun!


Happy Sunday Crafty Friends!  I ended up going in to work yesterday and staying much later than I expected, so I'm just now getting to update my blog.  The spiral cards that I made on Thursday night are SO CUTE!  This is one of those times where they turned out much better in real life versus what I had planned out in my head.  :)  Simple to make, and LOTS of possibilities for what you can put inside!

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube.   

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.


The most important part of the spiral card is the spiral mechanism.  You need a 3ish" circle of acetate, cut into a spiral.  I used transparency sheets that I have a ton of, and they are very flimsy.  The Stampin' Up Window Sheets are much sturdier and should not flop as much as mine.  Use what you have and see how you like it.

First card is a landscape version.  You can go either way with these spiral cards.  For my first run with these spiral cards, I was thinking critters and bugs that FLY - so bees and ladybugs.  Butterflies were on my list too, but I didn't have time for more than two cards this week.   

I wanted a BEE Day card...so I used the Party Alphabet dies to cut the letters, which I then embossed with the Eyelet folder.  You could use any embossing folder you want.  It's just to give the letters some texture and interest.  You could also die-cut a double or triple set of the letters and glue them together to build them up...make them taller.  That would make them stand out more.  I did not do that, but that's definitely an option to try out.


I stamped the "happy birthday" from the With You in Mind set, and then hand-cut the "happy" off, and then fussy cut the "day".  Layered happy on some Basic Black.  Both are popped up with dimensionals.


Paper Measurements:
  • Daffodil Delight:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4"
  • Beautiful Bokeh DSP:  (1) 4" x 5 1/4", (2) 2" x 5 1/4"
  • Basic White:  (2) 4" x 5 1/4"
  • Basic Black:  scraps to die-cut letters with Party Alphabet dies
  • Daffodil Delight/Basic White:  scraps to stamp/punch out bees and wings
  • Window Sheet/Transparency:  3ish" circle

Stamps:  Bee My Valentine, With You in Mind
Ink: Daffodil Delight, Cloud Cover, Onyx (Versafine)
Paper:  Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Basic White, Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series paper
Other:  Bee Builder punch, Party Alphabet dies, Eyelet embossing folder, Tiny Bee Trinkets, Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes, Clear Shimmer Brush, window sheets/transparencies

Next is a portrait-oriented version.   This time I used my old faithful Ladybug Builder punch!  I love these ladybugs...they're a good size, and so cute!  The Hello Ladybug stamp set is retired (along with the punch).   I also brought in the upcoming NEW Ladybug Picnic embossing folder, which will be available with the March 2026 Online Exclusives starting on Tuesday, March 3rd.  Two days from now!

I added a small strip of the Cute as a Bug DSP to give it a spring picnic feel...although what do ladybugs have to do with picnics????  Nothing...but I still like it this look.  :)


Paper Measurements:
  • Old Olive:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4"
  • Basic White:  (3) 4" x 5 1/4", emboss one with Ladybug Picnic folder for front
  • Cute as a Bug DSP:  2" x 4"
  • Poppy Parade and Real Red:  scraps to punch out ladybug wings
  • Basic Black:  scraps to punch out ladybug bodies
  • Basic White:  scrap to stamp/hand-cut leaf and greeting
  • Window Sheet/Transparency:  3ish" circle
Open it up and see the amazing ladybugs floating all over!  You could certainly stamp something on the Basic White layers - flowers or more ladybugs...I didn't have time to do that during my video.


Close-up picture of the spiral and ladybugs.  These are so fun!


Stamps:  Easter Basket, Hello Ladybug
Ink:  Old Olive, Onyx (Versafine)
Paper: Old Olive, Poppy Parade, Real Red, Basic Black, Basic White, Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper
Other:  Ladybug Picnic embossing folder, Ladybug builder punch, Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes, window sheets/transparencies

This Thursday, I'll be creating more with the Easter Basket bundle, and probably the Seasonal Celebrations stamps.  Easter and Spring ideas!

Also - I am on my third run of Paper Shares for the March 2026 Online Exclusives.  I need THREE more to sign up to fill this batch!  Details are on this blog post:  ToniStamps: Paper Share: March 2026 Online Exclusives!   Email me if you are interested in filling a spot.

Easter Basket Mini Album


Happy Sunday Friends!  I'm sharing the Easter Basket Mini Album that I worked on Thursday  night.  I finally had some time today to mostly finish the inside of the album, and create the cover.  I LOVE this little album.  Who am I kidding though?  I love every little album that I make.  :)   Finished size of this little gem is 6 3/4" x 6 3/4" x 1".  It's got FOUR pocket pages inside that have some interesting bits.

I used the Easter Basket bundle, along with three different packs of designer series paper, and almost an entire pack of Shy Shamrock cardstock.  Now I'll have to remember to order another pack, since this is one of the In Colors that is retiring this May.

First, I created the album base ahead of time using the Lay-Flat Method.  You can watch that video HERE, if the link below doesn't show up.


Thursday night is where I added pages, pockets, inserts, gatefolds, and some flip-in pages.  You can watch there HERE, if the link below doesn't show up.


I'm going to give all of my cardstock/paper measurements for the entire album, but you'll definitely need to watch the video to see how it all comes together.  This album has four pocket pages, with inserts in each pocket.  Each pocket has a "page" on each side.  I refer to these as pages 1-8.

I list "chipboard", but I want to be clear that I used cereal boxes!  I cut two cereal boxes down to the sizes that I needed and glued two pieces of cereal box together to make each piece of chipboard.

Inside Front Cover with gusseted pocket and some 4" x 6" cut aparts directly from the Easter Joy dsp. Inside Back Cover is the same, but with a different photo mat/cut apart.

Page 1 flip in.  

Flip opened all the way.


One of the Gatefold Pockets with photo mat holding the gates together.  I love this page design!


Open so you can see that 6" x 6" piece of cardstock layered to the base.

This shows how the pocket page inserts slide into the sides.

I didn't have time to do a walk-through video of the finished piece, but I'll do that at the start of this Thursday night's Live video.   I'll be showing you how to make some really cute Spiral cards this week!

Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!
