by Tracy | Nov 8, 2019 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Layering Ovals Dies, Stitched Shapes Dies
Today’s card features Night Before Christmas Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Itty Bitty Christmas. I also used the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder and I have to tell you, every time I make a card and emboss a piece of it, I look through all my embossing folders but this is the one I gravitate towards. It’s just perfect for holiday cards (and more)!
As you can see from the picture above, I made a second card using Cherry Cobbler cardstock and the Subtle Embossing Folder, another great folder when you want just a hint of embossing.
To add some sparkle, before adhering the second layer to the card base, I wrapped our 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon in Gold around the cardstock and tied a bow. The sentiment was stamped in Cherry Cobbler, on both cards, and cut out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. The larger scalloped oval was cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies.
If you’d like to create today’s cards, you can find the measurements below the Supply List.

Today’s card features Feels Like Frost 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, the Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack and the stamp set, Itty Bitty Christmas.
Feels Like Frost is beautiful paper with foil designs on one side and photographic imagery on the other. I also used our Silver Foil Sheets which pairs beautifully with this Designer Series Paper. The base of the card is Thick Whisper White cardstock but I used our regular Whisper White for the sentiment and the piece that was embossed with the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder. The sentiment was embossed with Silver Embossing Powder.
To be perfectly honest, I’m not sure if I like the added Whisper White Baker’s Twine to the top of the ornaments but I wanted to show you this alternative. If you’d like to create today’s card, you can find all the measurements below the supply list.

Last Friday the Christmastime Is Here suite of products debuted. There are so many products to choose from: a stamp set, dies, Designer Series Paper, Gold Enamel Dots, Shimmer Ribbon and a bracelet! My card today uses three products from the suite:
- Christmastime Is Here Designer Series Paper
- Christmas Rose Stamp Set
- Roses Dies
I’ll bet you are thinking I colored in the beautiful rose. Guess what? It’s Designer Series Paper! And to make it even better, I used a die in the Roses Dies to cut it out (see the die below). How easy is that for making a quick and easy card?!!
Since the rose is outlined in gold, I decided to emboss my sentiment using the Christmas Rose stamp set. Embossing always kicks your card up a notch because it’s so elegant looking! If you haven’t tried embossing, you really should. It couldn’t be easier! Before embossing, rub the Embossing Buddy (all these products are in my supply list below) over your paper. This little tool picks up stray particles on your paper. Then stamp your image using Versamark ink which is very sticky. Then, sprinkle your embossing powder over the sentiment and shake off the excess. Now, grab your heat tool – let it warm up a bit to prevent your paper from curling – and direct it towards the powder. Watch the magic happen! If you haven’t tried it before, you need to! You’ll love the results!
Christmas Rose Stamp Set #152431 $38.00
The base of my card is Cherry Cobbler. The next layer is Whisper White which I ran through my die-cutting machine using the Subtle Embossing Folder. After using the Roses Dies to cut out the rose, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card. The sentiment is also popped up with dimensionals.
