Happy Halloween!!
Today’s card features the stamp set, Framed & Festive (#160888). This stamp set and several other products will be available starting tomorrow, November 1st! Framed & Festive will only be available while supplies last!! If you click HERE, you can see the flyer with all the products, prices and item numbers.

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I layered Pool Party cardstock with a piece of Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper and adhered it at the bottom of the card base.


I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Pool Party ink and the Framed & Festive stamp set. Then I cut it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I cut another, larger rectangle out of Pool Party cardstock using these same dies and adhered the sentiment to it. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back but before I placed it on the card, I adhered the Wonderful Snowflake to the front of the card using a Mini Glue Dot and then placed the sentiment on top of it.


To complete the card, I added five Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems to the front of the card.

Last Day for Starter Kit Special

The Starter Kit is always $99 but today’s the last day you’ll be able to choose $155 in Stampin’ Up! product instead of $125. Both are great deals but $30 more, well, that’s even better! The Starter Kit ships free so you won’t have to pay shipping costs! If you’re thinking the Starter Kit is only for those who’d like to start a business, it isn’t. When I purchased the Starter Kit, I only did it for the discount because I loved Stampin’ Up! products. I had absolutely no intention of starting my own business (but as you can see, I changed my mind). There are quarterly minimums but if you don’t reach them, you’ll simply be dropped, no questions asked. It truly is risk free.

Today’s card features the Kindest Gnomes Bundle which includes the Kindest Gnomes stamp set and the Gnomes Dies. This was not a bundle I immediately purchased because I’m not really a “gnomes person”. But about a month ago my sister made the cutest gnomes to sell at a craft fair next month and after seeing her cute creations, I was hooked. Plus, I’ve seen so many cute gnome cards from fellow demonstrators. I’m hooked and had fun creating my first gnome card!


I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper. Then I used that same design to cut a hat for my gnome using the Gnomes Dies.
Using the Scalloped Contours Dies, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.


I used the Gnomes Dies to cut the beard out of Basic White cardstock, Petal Pink for the nose and Pacific Point for the feet. I adhered all those piece together, along with the hat and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered my gnome to the front of the card.

I heat embossed the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Silver Embossing Powder and then cut the sentiment out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered it below the gnome and tucked it under his feet. To complete my card, I added three Festive Pearls below the sentiment and added two more on the embossed rectangle (unfortunately the Festive Pearls are not available at the moment but should be back in stock the week of November 21st).
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder. Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image becomes shiny and beautiful!

Today’s card is a fun fold using Boughs of Holly 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and a new stamp set, Framed & Festive (#160888), that will debut on November 1, 2022. This stamp set will be available while supplies last. To see the flyer that includes this stamp set and the other products that will also be available November 1st, click HERE.


I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and scored it in two places to make the card look like a book (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Between the two folds I used Tear & Tape which is a very strong adhesive and you can see where I placed it in the picture below.


After creating the fold, I cut two pieces of Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the front of the card. I wrapped a piece of Metallic Mesh Ribbon around the left side of the card and tied a knot. If you haven’t seen this ribbon in person, it’s gorgeous!!

I heat embossed the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Silver Embossing Powder and a Versamark pad. If you’ve never heat embossed before, I have directions below. I find that heat embossing a sentiment makes the card extra fancy.
I cut the sentiment out using the Layering Circles Dies. Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, I cut a larger circle out of Silver Foil. I adhered the two pieces together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the front of the card.

To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder.

Today’s card was made using the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Gingerbread Bundle which includes the Sweet Gingerbread stamp set and the Gingerbread House Dies. I also used one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders to add some dimension to my snow.


This was a fun card to make. There are a lot of little pieces to cut out using the Gingerbread House Dies but once you have all your pieces ready, it goes fast.
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock. Then I used the Gingerbread House Dies to cut the snow, house, roof, windows and heart. I used the Sweet Gingerbread stamp set, to add the swirls to the house using Early Espresso ink, stamped the door in Real Red ink onto Basic White cardstock and stamped the trees in Garden Green ink, also onto Basic White cardstock.

Next, I used one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders to add dimension to the snow. I went back and forth wondering if I should just leave it plain but when in doubt, emboss! I used the Gingerbread House Dies to cut the trees and door. Time to assemble!!

First, I adhered the roof, heart and door to the house. Then I adhered the snow to the card but left areas open so I could slip in the house and trees. After adding adhesive to the back of the house and the trees, I placed them behind the snow. I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Real Red ink and the Sweet Gingerbread stamp set and cut it out using the Gingerbread House Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it right above the chimney.

To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside to give the card a little bit more stability.

Today’s cards are very quick and easy to make and they all use two products that will be available on November 1, 2022. I used the Framed Florets stamp set and Fitting Florets 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (this paper will only be available while supplies last) for all three cards I’m sharing today.

I started with a base of Night of Navy cardstock. Then I layered the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper onto a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and then adhered it to the card base.

I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Night of Navy ink and then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I added three Elegant Faceted Gems to the sentiment and also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.


Here are two more variations of the card. For the first card, I used Balmy Blue and Evening Evergreen cardstock as well as Evening Evergreen ink.


For this next card, I used all the same colors that were used with the first card.
