Here’s my card for today! I used A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper, Greetings of the Season stamp set, Deckled Rectangles Dies, Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and some heat embossing!
I started with Real Red cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a piece of A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper to the front of my card. I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I added the embossed cardstock to a piece of Real Red cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Then, I heat embossed my sentiment using the stamp set, Greetings of the Season. If you have never tried heat embossing, I have directions down below. You’ll love the results! I used Gold Embossing Powder because there are flecks of gold in the Christmas tree. I then cut the sentiment out using the Deckled Rectangles Dies.
I punched out the tree (this set comes with three pages of die cuts that you just punch out – how easy is that!), and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back. Then, I figured out where I wanted to put the tree and sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the front and adhered the tree beside it.
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!

I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Blackberry Bliss ink and the stamp set, Unbounded Love. I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies. I then adhered the sentiment to the front of the card.

Now on to my card for today! I made a Z fold card using Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper, the stamp set, Greetings of the Season and Spotlight on Nature Dies.
When you look at a Z fold on a table and look down at it, it looks like a Z. You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List. I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and scored it in two places. I folded the card in half and then folded the smaller piece towards the center of the card.
Then, I cut two pieces of Lost Lagoon cardstock and two pieces of Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper (DSP) – this paper is from the Annual Catalog and will be on sale for 20% off beginning on Wednesday! I adhered them together and put one of them on the front of the card and the other inside. I cut another piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock and adhered a piece of Winter Meadow DSP to the right and adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock on the left side.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Lost Lagoon ink and the stamp set, Greetings of the Season. I cut it out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back, only on the right side and placed it on the front panel.

Today I’m sharing a card I made using Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper, Greetings of the Season stamp set, Sentimental Wishes Dies (they are currently on the Low Inventory List), Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder and the Deckled Rectangles Dies.
I started with a piece of Real Red cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I cut a piece of Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the front of the card. Next, I cut another piece of Real Red cardstock and embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the Real Red cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used the Sentimental Wishes Dies to cut the stocking out of Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and then set it aside.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Real Red ink and the stamp set, Greetings of the Season. I then cut it out using the Deckled Rectangles Dies (I made sure that I cut it over to the left as far as possible because it would be too long). I adhered the sentiment to the front of the card and then added the stocking to the right of it being sure to cover the excess part of the sentiment.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
