by Tracy | Nov 12, 2020 | Designer Series Paper, Embossing Folders
Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Pine Tree Punch and Classic Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.
I started with a base of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and then added a layer of Shaded Spruce cardstock. The sentiment was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the stamp set, Wrapped in Christmas. Then a piece of Classic Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper was adhered to the top. Before adhering it to the card base, I wrapped a piece of 3/8″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon around the cardstock.
I cut three pine trees out of Silver Foil using the Pine Tree Punch. I placed two of the trees in one of the Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folders and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The other tree was embossed with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of each tree and then placed the one embossed with Winter Snow down first and then placed the other two on each side.
To complete the card, I added a piece of Whisper White cardstock to the inside. If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

It’s Wednesday but I have my Tuesday Tutorial for you today.
I took a few days off because on Monday, my daughter, Jenny, married her best friend, Mike!! We planned a big wedding in March with friends and family but sadly, it had to be canceled due to Coronavirus. We were able to postpone the wedding to September (because the virus would be over and done with by then, right?) but in July, the venue had a catastrophic fire so date number two was cancelled. Jenny & Mike didn’t want to wait for the pandemic to be over before they could get married so they planned wedding #3 with just immediate family and they took great care to make sure the ceremony and reception would be social distanced and responsible. Several weeks before the wedding was to take place, our county went into the purple tier because of increased Coronavirus cases and yes, we had to cancel, again. At the last minute, they were able to find another venue in a different county and they were married! It was a gorgeous wedding and there was such joy on both of their faces. I couldn’t be happier for the two of them!! Here’s a picture of the happy couple!

Today’s card features the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch and the brand new (and available for a limited time) Classic Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.
I started with a base of Shaded Spruce cardstock and then added layers of Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White. Before adhering the Whisper White cardstock, I placed it inside the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
The Classic Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper was cut out with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. I really enjoying using punches and am thrilled that Stampin’ Up! keeps adding more to their product lineup!
The sentiment was stamped in Shaded Spruce ink using the stamp set, Warm & Toasty and was cut out using the Layering Circles Dies. The Cherry Cobbler cardstock underneath the sentiment was cut out using the Tasteful Labels Dies. I love the detail around this die!
If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements below the Supply List.

In the last few months, I’ve received several No Contact orders which means that the customer would prefer I not contact them. Please know that I always send a thank you via email for any orders placed through me and that I’m very appreciative. If you’ve placed an order and have NOT received a thank you and didn’t realize you chose No Contact, please contact me. On to today’s card!
Today’s card features the stamp set, Wrapped in Christmas and the So Many Snowflakes Dies.
I started with a base of Pool Party cardstock with a layer of Whisper White cardstock that was cut using the So Many Snowflakes Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I love how the die, cuts an opening in the paper with pretty stitching and snowflakes!
I added a piece of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper behind the opening before adhering the Whisper White cardstock to the card base. The sentiment was stamped with Versamark ink using the stamp set Wrapped in Christmas and then embossed with Silver Embossing Powder (see directions for heat embossing below). I cut it out using the Stitched Shapes Dies and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using the So Many Snowflakes Dies, I cut two snowflakes out of Silver Foil (I rolled up several Mini Glue Dots into balls to attach them). It was a fun card to make and really quick and easy!
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing an anti-static pouch over the surface (this 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. Shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so the paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your sentiment is transformed!
