I started off with Garden Green cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of my card.
I cut the two deer using the Reindeer Fun dies and then adhered the deer to the front of the card, over to the left. I stamped the sentiment in Garden Green ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Reindeer Fun. I cut the sentiment out using the Perennial Postage dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on my card, over to the right.
To complete my card, I added five Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to the front and added a piece of Basic White to the inside.

Mystery Boxes
I’m offering Mystery Boxes again but you now have two choices. I have filled Medium Flat Rate USPS shipping boxes stuffed with retired products. All of the products in the Mystery Boxes have retired but some have never been used, some are used and all are “as is”.

Some of the photopolymer stamp sets are stained but that doesn’t affect the quality of the stamps. All of the stamp sets are a variety of red rubber, photopolymer and wood mount.
You have two choices:
Choice A (I only have a limited number of these boxes available):
3 Die/Stamp Set Bundles
8 stamp sets
(2) packages of 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper

one punch
ribbon and anything else I can fill it with

I started with a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.
I used one of the cut outs (poinsettias) in A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper an adhered it down to the embossed cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Greetings of the Season. Then, I sprinkled gold embossing powder over the sentiment, shook the excess embossing powder off and heated it up with my heat tool (if you’ve never embossed before I will have directions at the end of the post). I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
To complete my card, I 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!

This was a really quick card to make! I started with Real Red cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a piece of a Little Bit Festive Designer Series Paper to the Real Red cardstock (as I’m writing this on Thursday night, A Little Bit Festive is on the Low Inventory List).
Next, I used the Everyday Details Dies to cut a rectangle. I put it in the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
There are three pages of cut outs that you can use on your cards and I used the festive truck with a Christmas Tree in the back. I adhered the truck to the embossed rectangle. Then, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
I embossed my sentiment with our new Metallics embossing powder in gold onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Decorative Trees stamp set. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. I love the simplicity of this card.

I started with a base of Real Red cardstock. Then, I added a layer of Basic White cardstock and Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper (DSP).
I cut a tag out of Real Red cardstock using the the Greeting of the Season Dies. Next, I cut a reindeer out of Reindeer Days DSP using the Reindeer Fun Dies. Then, I heat embossed the sentiment using our new Basics Wow Embossing Powder.
I added the deer to the tag and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the tag and adhered it to the front of the card.

I recently purchased the Christmas Wishes Kit by Stampin’ Up! I wasn’t initially attracted to it because I like traditional Christmas colors but went ahead and got it anyway. There are gold envelopes and gold touches in the card bases and that sold me on it!
I made one of each card which I will show below..
This is everything that comes in the kit.
Here’s a look at the stamp set that is also included in the kit.
The kit comes with all the supplies to make 8 cards. There’s even a sentiment that you stamp inside the card. There’s also a sticker that you place on the gold envelopes.
Here’s the first card.
And here’s the second card!
Here’s a close up of the inside of the card.
Here’s a video put out by Stampin’ Up! that shows you how to make the two cards.

Designer Series Paper Sale
Here’s what on sale and you’ll find the sale prices below each paper. This promotion ends on August 31, 2024 however product is only available while supplies last.
Before sharing my card with you today, Stampin’ Up! has decided to extend FREE SHIPPING for one more day for orders $75 or more (before shipping/tax)! I’m sorry if you tried to place an order yesterday and had problems. Here’s what Stampin’ Up! had to say about the extension:
It’s Free Shipping—what a day to encounter worldwide internet issues! While the cause is beyond our control, we want to do what we can to make the overall shopping experience better. We’re extending our Free Shipping promotion through the end of day on 24 July. Unfortunately, the underlying cause remains, so the ordering process may remain slow.”
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the Iconic Celebrations DSP to the front of the embossed Basic White cardstock and then adhered it to a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock and then that piece was adhered to the card front.
I stamped “Celebrate” onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Iconic Imagery stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink. Then, I stamped “the Season” below Celebrate, also in Misty Moonlight ink. I then cut it out using the Iconic Imagery Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three large rhinestones to the front of the card.
