by Tracy | Dec 28, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Fun Fold Card
Today I have a sneak peek of Heart & Home Designer Series Paper (#157928) which will debut on January 4, 2022 in the January-June Mini Catalog. If you’ve ordered from me in the last six months, I ordered a new catalog for you and had Stampin’ Up! send it to you (along with the Sale-a-Bration brochure). I’ve heard that some people have already received it so if you haven’t, it’s on the way!



Heart & Home Designer Series Paper is part of the Heart & Home Suite. The colors that coordinate with this package of paper are:

This is a very quick and easy card to make. The measurements are listed below the Supply List and you can see how to fold the cardstock and where to place your adhesive in a previous post HERE. After you make the base of the card, you’ll add the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper to the front and then wrap your ribbon around the smaller section. The sentiment was stamped in Garden Green ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Flowing Flowers. I cut it out using one of the dies from the Pretty Pillowbox Dies. These dies were in the Holiday Mini Catalog but are being carried over and will continue to be available.

I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and adhered it to the front of the card. Quick and easy!

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! We did and ate way too much food but to me that’s the fun of the holidays. I made dinner for the family and baklava for dessert. I usually only make baklava during the holidays because it’s so decadent but oh so yummy. What’s not to like about butter, sugar, cinnamon, nuts and a flaky dough? My husband and I were able to celebrate with my mom, my sister and her husband and our oldest daughter and son-in-law and this weekend we’ll be celebrating Christmas again with our youngest daughter, son-in-law and grandkids. Something fun to look forward to. I’d love to hear about your holidays in the comments section below!

by Tracy | Dec 22, 2021 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders
Before sharing today’s card, I wanted to let you know that I will be taking a small break to spend the holidays with my family. I’ll be back here on my blog Monday, December 27th but if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me. Happy Holidays to all of you!
Today’s card was created using Ever Eden Designer Series Paper and it’s only available while supplies last. It’s so pretty in person, especially the gold accents on some of the sheets but I don’t think it shows well on a computer screen but it’s pretty in person.


The base of my card is Thick Basic White cardstock and then I added a layer of Soft Succulent cardstock that I embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (this folder is not retiring). Then I layered Basic White cardstock with a piece of Ever Eden Designer Series Paper. I wrapped a piece of 3/8″ Open Weave ribbon in Soft Succulent around the piece before adding Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhering it to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink using the stamp set Eden’s Garden and then cut it out using the Tasteful Labels Dies. I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a larger circle out of Soft Succulent cardstock and then layered the two pieces together. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it to the right of the ribbon. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.

The Specialty Plate is used with 3D Embossing Folders.
Measurements
- Thick Basic White cardstock; 11” x 4-1/4” score at 5-1/2” OR 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” score at 4-1/4” (the only difference is how your card opens)
- Soft Succulent cardstock: 5-1/4″ x 4″
- Soft Succulent cardstock: scrap for scalloped circle
- Ever Eden Designer Series Paper: 4″ x 3″
- Basic White cardstock: 4-1/4″ x 3-1/4″

See you again on December 27th! Happy Holidays!!
by Tracy | Dec 21, 2021 | Card Sampler, Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Gift Card Holder
If you need a last minute gift card holder, then I have a very quick and easy one for you. I’ve made three or four of these in the last few days (yes, I’m very behind) and I’m sharing two of them today. I like to place these gift card holders in a box and then wrap it up or simply tie some ribbon around the envelope.

You’ll need to start with a piece of cardstock that measures 11″ x 4-1/4″ and score at 2-1/2″ and 5-1/2″. Fold on the score lines and then add adhesive to make the pocket where the gift card (or cash) will go. The picture shows a notch on the left side, but don’t do that until you’ve adhered the Designer Series Paper which I’ll explain below. I wanted a strong adhesive and prefer to use Tear & Tape.

You’ll first need to add a piece of Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper to the front of the pocket (the other side of the piece where you added the adhesive). THEN, use the Layering Circles Dies to cut a notch so the recipient can easily pull out the cash or gift card. I used my retired 1″ Circle Punch but the Layering Circles Dies will work too. Now you’ll peel off the liner of the Tear & Tape and fold it towards the right, to make the pocket.

Next, add a panel of of Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper to the front of the card and the inside panel You’ll also add a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. We’re almost done! The sentiment was stamped onto Basic White cardstock using Evening Evergreen ink and the stamp set, Christmas to Remember (this stamp set isn’t retiring – yay!!!!). I cut the sentiment out using the Seasonal Labels Dies (also, NOT retiring) and cut a larger one out of Soft Succulent cardstock. I layered the two pieces together and then on the back (on the right-hand side only) I added Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered it to the front of the card. Easy and so cute! You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
Here’s another gift card holder using Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper (retiring), Pear Pizzazz cardstock, Cherry Cobbler ink, the stamp set Perfectly Plaid and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
