I know it’s Tuesday and this is usually the day I have my free tutorial but starting this week, you’ll find a new, free tutorial each Friday!

Please note: If you placed an order very early this morning (or last night) and used my host code for a free card kit (and your order is at least $50) but would rather receive the Card Sampler, please email me and I’ll make that change for you.
My “Thank You Cards” Card Sampler is now available but only for a limited time!
Here’s how you can earn my FREE Thank You Cards Card Sampler:
- Place a minimum $50 order (before tax/shipping) at my Stampin’ Up! online store.
- Use my special Thank You Cards Card Sampler Host Code when placing your order: QRACJWD7
- Place your order on or before Sunday, December 13, 2020.
- If your order reaches $150 or more, please DO NOT use the host code so you can receive Stampin’ Rewards (free product directly from Stampin’ Up!). Once you place your order, simply drop me an email letting me know that you’d like the Thank You Cards Card Sampler (you only need to contact me if your order is over $150).

Here’s What You’ll Receive:
- All the paper and embellishments needed to make six cards (two each of three different designs). The paper will be cut, scored, embossed and die cut for you! You’ll need to supply your own adhesive, ink and stamp set (per Stampin’ Up! I cannot send stamped images). Envelopes will also be provided.

The Stampin’ Up! Giant Year-End Closeout begins tomorrow, December 8th! One of my favorite packages of Designer Series Paper, Feels Like Frost, is retiring and will be discounted 50%!!!! This paper premiered in last year’s Holiday Catalog and today I’ll be sharing cards I’ve made using this gorgeous paper. To go to the original blog post, just click on the card. Since the majority of these cards were made last year, they may have sentiments or other products that have since retired. These posts will also have information about card kits that are no longer available.
To download a list of all retiring items, please click here.












Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper is so pretty isn’t it? All products in the Year-End Closeout will be available while supplies last or January 4, 2021, whichever comes first so please shop early so you can pick up your favorites!

I don’t normally post on Saturday but I wanted to share the card I’d planned for Thursday. On Wednesday morning I finally got a flu shot and another one for shingles. I don’t normally experience any of the side effects but this time I sure did! I spent all of Thursday in bed and part of yesterday as well but today I’m back to normal! Whew!
Before sharing my card, I want to let you know that Stampin’ Up! will be having their Year-End Closeout on Tuesday, December 8th! Items from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog will be included in the closeout with some products discounted up to 50%. Not all items from the Mini Catalog will be included as some will be carrying over into the Annual Catalog in 2021. I apologize for the very small print, but you can click HERE for a PDF of what will be on sale and what will be discounted. All products in the sale will be WHILE SUPPLIES LAST so be sure to shop early! Please note: due to increased shipping times and possible shipping delays during the month of December, delivery before Christmas cannot be guaranteed. If you have any questions, please contact me!

Today’s card features Tis’ the Season Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Perfectly Plaid.

I started with a base of Shaded Spruce cardstock and then added a layer of Whisper White cardstock and Tis the Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. Tis’ the Season WILL be included in the closeout and will be discounted 20% beginning on Tuesday, December 8th. I added a strip of Shaded Spruce cardstock and used the Banner Triple Punch to make a banner (you can find all the measurements I used below the supply list). Then I ran it through the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. I LOVE this embossing folder and sadly, it is one of the products being retired BUT it will be discounted 50% and you’ll be able to get it for $3.75!!! Be sure to shop early on Tuesday!

I stamped the sentiment onto Whisper White cardstock using Shaded Spruce ink and then cut it out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I layered it onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock that was cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. These two sets of dies coordinate beautifully! To complete my card, I added three Holiday Rhinestones in Shaded Spruce on the sentiment.

Today’s card features Feels Like Frost 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.

I started with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock and then added a layer of Whisper White cardstock on top. Before adhering it to the card base, I placed it inside the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper was layered onto pieces of Highland Heather cardstock.


The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using the stamp set Good Morning Magnolia in Gorgeous Grape ink and cut out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. Before placing the sentiment onto the front of the card, I added some Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back. I used my Dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blend to color our Basic Rhinestones. I love that my paper and rhinestones match!
If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find the measurements below the supply list.
