I created today’s card as part of a challenge and I used the stamp set, Words of Cheer, Gingerbread & Peppermint 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders (these embossing folders are currently unavailable but are expected to be back in stock later this week).
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Real Red cardstock and a layer of Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Series Paper. The coordinating colors for this Designer Series Paper are: Real Red, Old Olive, Early Espresso and Cinnamon Cider.
I cut a piece of Old Olive cardstock, notched one end and then before adhering it the card base, I placed it in one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a Basic White circle and a scalloped Real Red circle. I embossed the Basic White circle using the same Wintry 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered it on top of the scalloped circle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and added it to the front of the card.
Using the Snow Time Dies, I cut the sentiment piece out of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it on top of the circles.
Bundle Alert: The Words of Cheer Bundle (156389) includes the Words of Cheer Stamp Set and the Christmas Cheer Dies. Bundles always save you 10%.

by Tracy | Sep 22, 2021 | Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders, Sympathy Card
Unfortunately I needed a sympathy card this week and I used the stamp set, Positive Thoughts along with the coordinating Nature’s Thoughts Dies to create today’s card.
I started with a base of Mint Macaron cardstock and then added a layer of Rich Razzleberry cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I used the Nature’s Thoughts Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut the Basic White rectangle
I stamped a leafy frond directly onto the Basic White rectangle in Mint Macaron ink using the stamp set Positive Thoughts. Then I stamped two more onto Basic White cardstock, also using Mint Macaron ink and cut them out using the Nature’s Thoughts Dies. I also stamped the flower in Rich Razzleberry ink and cut it out using these same dies.
I adhered the fronds and the flower to the Basic White rectangle using Multipurpose Glue. I stamped the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink using the stamp set Inspired Thoughts and then cut it out using the Double Oval punch. Using this same punch, I also cut a Mint Macaron scalloped oval. I layered the two piece together and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the front of the card.
To complete the card, I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and then added five Genial Gems to the front.

by Tracy | Sep 21, 2021 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders, Rectangle Stitched Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Dies, Encircled in Warmth stamp set, Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and Tidings of Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. If the Poinsettia Dies look familiar, it’s because they debuted in the 2020 Mini Catalog and can now be found in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. The beauty of many of the dies in this set is that they cut and emboss at the same time! To see what I mean, take a look at the embossing on the poinsettia!
I started with a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock and then added a layer of Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper. Next, I adhered a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock that I ran through one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders. These embossing folders are currently on backorder and as of today, they can still be added to your order and will ship when they are back in stock (estimated to be back in stock next week). The rest of your order will ship without the embossing folders.
I used the Poinsettia Dies to cut two Silver Foil sprigs. Before running one of the sprigs though the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine, I added the little piece for the center of the flower onto the paper. I also cut two poinsettia flowers out of Basic White cardstock. I adhered a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional between the two flower pieces and then added a regular Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the larger flower. I used our Mini Glue Dots to adhere the foil sprigs to the back of the poinsettia and then adhered the flower to the front of the card.
When using the poinsettia and leaves dies, you’ll use two dies. One of the dies cuts the flower shape and the other embosses the paper. I used a Sharpie to mark the dies so I would know exactly how the inside piece fits (it’s a big time saver).
I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete the card, I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
