Happy Monday!
Today’s card is all about foil! If you like sparkle, you’re going to love Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper. Each sheet in this 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper is double-sided with a beautiful foil pattern on one side and realistic designs on the other. I combined two of the foil designs to create today’s card. It can be really difficult to photograph foil paper and the beauty of the paper is hard to capture but it’s very pretty in person!
I embossed my sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set. At this time of year embossing adds a special touch to your cards. To cut the sentiment out, I used the Stitched Shapes Dies. The scalloped circle underneath it was cut out with the Layering Circles Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the scalloped oval as well as the smaller panel of foil and cardstock.
Heat Embossing Directions
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 so the paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch the magic happen!

This is the second day of the Online Extravaganza and some cardstock (Blackberry Bliss and Rich Razzleberry) have already gone into backorder status. The sale ends tomorrow so be sure to place your orders as soon as you can. To see everything on sale, click here.
Today’s card combines Night of Navy cardstock with Feels Like Frost 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. On one side of this paper, all the designs are in foil and on the other, realistic images. Absolutely stunning! Feels Like Frost has been on backorder multiple times but it’s now in stock!
The sentiment comes from the stamp set Itty Bitty Christmas. It has 18 different sentiments to choose from!
I heat embossed the sentiment using Silver Embossing Powder. I love the elegance embossing gives a card!
To heat emboss, prepare your cardstock first by rubbing the Embossing Buddy over the surface. Then stamp the sentiment or image using a Versamark stamp pad. Sprinkle embossing powder over the image and shake off the excess. Then use the Heat Tool to melt the powder. It’s so easy and the results are amazing!

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.
