Today’s card features Night Before Christmas Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Catalog. This paper is part of the Year-End Closeout and is only available while supplies last. The designs in this pack of paper coordinate with Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and Old Olive (three colors I used for today’s card) as well as Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Poppy Parade, and Pretty Peacock.
I used the stamp set, Itty Bitty Christmas, which includes 18 different stamps! The sentiment was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink and cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies. The Cherry Cobbler scalloped oval in Old Olive was cut out with the Layering Ovals Dies.
I also used the Stitched Shapes Dies to cut out the Designer Series Paper. The Old Olive scalloped square was cut out using the Layering Squares Dies. The Cherry Cobbler cardstock was embossed with the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (this item is not one of the retiring Holiday Catalog products).

Today you’ll be able to access my Tuesday Tutorial. Yes, it’s Wednesday but with the release of the Year-End Closeout list yesterday and my December Online Card Class, I decided today would be a better day to share my free PDF tutorial.
At this time of year, it’s difficult to know from day to day what products will be available especially with our Year-End Closeout sale. Unfortunately the paper I used for today’s card, Wrapped in Plaid 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, went into backorder status yesterday but the system was still letting customers add it to their order. This could have changed but you might still be able to add it to your order (more than likely you will receive it after the holidays). You can click here to see if it’s still available!
If you’d like to create today’s card but don’t have Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper, simply use your favorite paper in place of it. You’ll find the free tutorial below with all the measurements.
I have several more samples to share. This first card was made with Shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler cardstock. The sentiment was stamped in Shaded Spruce ink.
This next card was made with Cherry Cobbler & Shaded Spruce cardstock. The sentiment was embossed with gold embossing powder, just like the card in the tutorial.
This last sample uses Cherry Cobbler & Shaded Spruce cardstock. I used Cherry Cobbler ink for the sentiment.

I hope everyone from the U.S. had an enjoyable Thanksgiving yesterday!
It’s the biggest shopping day of the year! I bet some of you were out at the crack of dawn, if not earlier, grabbing some great deals. Personally, I get a little cranky with lots of crowds so I prefer to do my shopping sitting at home in front of my computer. Because it’s Black Friday, I have a special when you place a Stampin’ Up! order at my online store today.
Fine Details:
After you place your order, I’ll send an email to you to find out your choice(s) or you can immediately email me with what you’d like.
- The host code UQK3VSNJ must be used when placing your order.
- All orders will receive an extra card kit.
- $50-$74.99 order will receive a free package of rhinestones (choose from Holiday, Noble Peacock, or Basic Jewels)
- $75-$99.99 order will receive a free embossing folder (your choice)
- $100 -$149.99 order will receive both the rhinestones & embossing folder
- Orders over $150, do not use the Host Code so you’ll receive Stampin’ Rewards from Stampin’ Up! (free product) plus you’ll receive rhinestones and an embossing folder from me.
I’ll place the orders for the free gifts tomorrow. After I receive them from Stampin’ Up!, I’ll send them out to you (your free gifts should arrive in approximately two weeks).
Very important: If I don’t receive a response from you before 10:00 am (Pacific Time) on Saturday morning, November 30th, I reserve the right to choose your free gifts so I can finalize the order and the gifts will arrive in the time I stated above.
Offer valid in the U.S.

My card today features the stamp set Itty Bitty Christmas and our 6″ x 6″ Night Before Christmas Designer Series Paper. With all the beautiful designs on this paper, card-making is super easy!
I embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder and cut it out using my die-cutting machine and the Stitched Rectangle Dies. If you haven’t embossed before, it’s pretty easy. Here are the instructions:
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy 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 the magic happen!
You’ll find all the products I used to create today’s card listed below. Simply click any of the images to place an order or for more information.

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!
