It’s Day 2 of the Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Sale. Many of you have taken advantage of the sale prices and several items have gone on backorder so be sure to shop early.
The Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Sale started yesterday and will end tomorrow, November 18th. The following products will be on sale from the Annual Catalog (products in the Mini Catalog are not included):
I have a new card to share with you today using the Brilliant Wings Dies (they are 20% off). In the Supply List below you’ll be able to see the other sale products I used to create my card.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). I ran a piece of Basic White cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using one of the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders and then adhered it to a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock. I also adhered a piece of Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper to a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock and placed both on the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Garden Green ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Eden’s Garden and adhered it to another piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock. I cut a butterfly out of Misty Moonlight cardstock using the Brilliant Wings Dies. To adhere it to the front of the card, I cut one Mini Stampin’ Dimensional in half and placed each piece down the center of the butterfly. To complete the card, I added an Elegant Faceted Gem to the butterfly.

Today’s card features the Words of Cheer Bundle which includes the Words of Cheer stamp set and the Christmas Cheer Dies. You can purchase the dies and stamp set separately but with the bundle, you’ll save 10%. I also used one of the Checks & Dots Embossing Folders.
I started with a base of Real Red cardstock and then added a layer of Old Olive cardstock. On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink at the bottom. Then I placed it inside one of the Checks & Dots Embossing Folders (I used the dots) and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The entire piece of paper will not fit inside the folder but that’s okay because you don’t want the sentiment to be embossed, so some of your paper will be sticking out of the embossing folder. I adhered this piece to the front of the card.
I stamped the flowers using Memento Ink onto Basic White cardstock and then colored it using both the Light & Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends and the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend. I used both the Light and Dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends to color the leaves. Once I finished coloring, I used the Christmas Cheer Dies to cut it out. I added quite a few Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and then placed it on the front of the card. To complete the card, I added a rhinestone to the center of each flower and adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s card features the So Many Snowflakes Dies. These dies debuted in last year’s holiday catalog and carried over into the Annual Catalog! I also used the stamp set, Heartfelt Wishes and Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper.
I started with a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock. Then I used the So Many Snowflakes Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock. I heat embossed the sentiment using silver embossing powder (see directions for heat embossing below). I adhered a piece of Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper to the back of the Basic White cardstock and then adhered both pieces to the front of the card.
I used the So Many Snowflakes Dies to cut two small snowflakes out of Blushing Bride cardstock. I added small dots of Multipurpose Glue to the back of both before adhering them to the card front. For some sparkle, I added a rhinestone to the center of both snowflakes. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing an anti-static pouch over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder (Stampin’ Up! no longer carries this product but it’s a must when embossing). 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 the paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image is transformed!

by Tracy | Nov 1, 2021 | Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders, Sympathy Card
I wanted to send my condolences to a friend and made this card for her.
I started with a base of Misty Moonlight cardstock and then added a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I used the Inspiring Canopy Dies to make the trees. To make it easier to adhere the trees to the card front, I added one of our Adhesive Sheets to the back before running it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. It was a breeze to place the trees on the card with the adhesive already on the back!
The sentiment was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Inspired Thoughts stamp set and then cut out with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the card. The little bird was cut out of Misty Moonlight cardstock using the Beautiful Trees Dies (another set of tree dies in the Annual Catalog). I added a small amount of Multipurpose Glue to the back and placed him in the branches. To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s free PDF tutorial features Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper, Layering Circles Dies and one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders. I heat embossed the sentiment using the stamp set, Encircled in Warmth. If you’d rather not emboss the sentiment, you could use Smoky Slate ink but the silver embossing really gives this card a wow factor! You can find the tutorial below the Supply List.
