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.

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!

Today’s card features the Snowflake Wishes Bundle and Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper.

The Snowflake Wishes Bundle includes the Snowflake Wishes stamp set and the So Many Snowflakes Dies. You can purchase these two products separately but when purchased using the special bundle number, you’ll save 10%.

After cutting the snowflake shape, I added adhesive around the outside edges of a piece of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper and secured it behind the snowflake. Before adhering these two pieces to my Highland Heather card base, I used the Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment. When making several cards of the same design, the Stamparatus makes stamping your sentiment quick and easy. If you place your paper in the same place each time, you can quickly stamp the sentiment without worries that it will be straight!


To complete the card, I added a Coastal Cabana rhinestone from the Holiday Rhinestones Basic Jewels which also includes Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce. If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
