The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive Designer Series Paper, Christmas Friends stamp set, Stylish Shapes Dies, Festive 12″ x 12″ Glimmer Paper and the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Garden Green cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and my Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.
Did you know Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive Designer Series Paper comes with cut outs? My wreath is a cut out! After I punched the wreath out, I adhered it to the front of the card. I used our Festive Glimmer Paper to cut a banner using the Stylish Shapes Dies.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Garden Green ink and the stamp set, Christmas Friends. Then, I cut it out using the smaller banner in the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the Glimmer Paper and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Glimmer Paper and adhered it to the wreath.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

Before sharing my card with you, because it’s my birthday today, I’m going to offer Double Bradley Points for today only, November 21st! You can earn free products when you earn 10 Bradley Points! You earn Bradley Points with every $50 purchase!
The card I’m sharing today was made using Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Decorative Trees stamp set and Stylish Shapes Dies. I’ve created a pocket where you can insert a gift card and note or just a note.
I started with a piece of Real Red cardstock for the base of my card. I scored it in two places (you can see the measurements I used below the Supply List) and then used my bone folder to burnish the score lines. On the smaller end (you can see the picture below), I added a strong adhesive, such as Tear & Tape, to both ends and folded up to create the pocket.
I added A Little Bit Festive Designer Series Paper to the top portion on the front and then shut the card so I could apply the bottom part. I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to put in the pocket and adhered a strip of A Little Bit Festive Designer Series Paper. I will give you the measurements of the exact size but I like to cut it a bit longer than I need and then trim it off.
I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Decorative Trees stamp set. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and then cut the next larger circle out of Real Red cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the Real Red circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back, on only the upper part, and then adhered it to the upper flap.
Supply List
Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.
Bundle Alert: The Decorative Trees Bundle is available with a 10% discount rather than buying the products separately.

Today I’m sharing a card I made using Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper, Greetings of the Season stamp set, Stylish Shapes Dies, Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (currently on the Low Inventory List). I also added some silver embossing powder to my sentiment to make it sparkle!
I started with a piece of Shaded Spruce for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I cut a piece of Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper (I like to cut this paper longer than I actually need and then trim it off; I will add the exact dimensions of the finished piece below the Supply List). I then adhered it to the embossed Basic White cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using a Versamark ink pad, sprinkled my silver embossing powder over it and then heated it with my heat tool. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut it out, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (I like to use a lot of Dimensionals) and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems in silver, to the front and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
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!

Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store. The Specialty Plate is used with 3D Embossing Folders.

The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Merriest Tree stamp set, Nested Essentials Dies, the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, Iridescent Foil Gems and some heat embossing using Metallics WOW! Embossing Powder in Gold.
I started with a piece of Garden Green cardstock for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (this embossing folder is currently on the Low Inventory List as of this writing) and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

Next, I layered a piece of Gold Foil and Season of Green & Gold Specialty Paper, then adhered it to the middle of the card.

I cut the sentiment out using the Nested Essentials Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added another piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to the inside of the card and added five Iridescent Foil Gems to the the front of the card. I chose these gems because they have gold flecks in them which was perfect for my card!

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).

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.
