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.

Today’s card features Christmastime is Here Designer Series Paper which will be available beginning November 1, 2019 and will only be available while supplies last! You’ll be able to purchase items in the suite individually, or purchase it all using the special suite bundle item number (#153947). A Christmas Rose Bundle (#153944) which includes the Christmas Rose Stamp set and the Roses Dies will be available for a savings of 10%. This PDF flyer will explain it all!
When I received my Christmastime is Here Designer Series Paper (demonstrators are able to preorder this suite – a perk of purchasing the Starter Kit), I was surprised that several of the designs have gold foiling and on today’s card, the white flowers have this beautiful foiling. To add more sparkle to the card, I added a layer of gold foil between the Cherry Cobbler base and Designer Series Paper. The scalloped oval the sentiment sits on is also gold foil. I really think this paper can be used for all occasions, not just for the holidays so I paired it with the Beautiful Friendship stamp set.
If you love the products in this suite, be sure to mark your calendar for next week, November 1st (YIKES, will November really be here next week???). All the products in the suite will be available while supplies last. Click here for the PDF flyer which includes pictures of all the available items, item numbers and prices. Any questions? Feel free to contact me!

Condolence cards are the most difficult cards to make but I recently needed one to send to my cousin’s wife. Matthew passed away several weeks ago and he was only 48 years old. Far too young to leave us.
I love everything about the Kindness & Compassion stamp set. It’s always difficult finding the right words to say to someone who’s experiencing extreme grief and convey that you care. This set has a variety of beautiful sentiments written in a beautiful font. Plus it includes “thank you.”
I used a base of Thick Whisper White with another layer of Whisper White, embossed with the Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder. The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy and cut out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. The larger Night of Navy oval underneath it was cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies.
If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements below the Supply List.

Oh my gosh, how cute are these snowmen from Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper? When photographing the card, I hoped I could capture the beautiful sparkle on all the snowmen. Funny thing is, when I saw this paper in the catalog, I didn’t initially buy it. It didn’t jump out at me as something I had to have. But then someone I know mentioned how cute it was so I purchased it and I was absolutely NOT disappointed! If you’d like to see in more detail, all the designs in this package of paper, go to my Stampin’ Up! online store, here. Click the “+” on the image of the paper to make the photo larger. Then, you’ll see arrows and you’ll be able to scroll through all the designs.
The base of my card is Thick Whisper White. When the base of my card is white, I always use our Thick Whisper White rather than our regular Whisper White. The next layer is our Real Red cardstock. The sentiment is from the stamp set Snowman Season and was also stamped in Real Red ink and cut out using the Merry Christmas Dies. It’s a super simple card to make and super cute with all the sparkly snowmen!
If you’d like to recreate this card, you can find all the measurements below the Supply List.

Today I have an easy card featuring Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Catalog but first, I have a winner to announce! On Friday I offered Blog Candy (a make n take packet) for the project I shared. Thanks so much to everyone who left a comment! The random name drawn was Lesa! Congratulations, Lesa!!!! (I will contact Lesa but if I don’t hear back from her within 24 hours, I will draw another name on Tuesday).
I combined several new products from the Holiday Catalog to create today’s card. The base of the card is Real Red. The next layer is also Real Red and I placed it inside the Hammered Metal embossing folder using my die-cutting machine. Then I added a piece of Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper on the lower half of the Real Red. Before adhering it to the base, I wrapped the elegant Shaded Spruce/Gold 3/8″ Ribbon around the cardstock/Designer Series Paper and tied a bow. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back before adhering it to the base.
For the sentiment, I used the stamp set Perfectly Plaid and stamped it in Shaded Spruce onto Whisper White cardstock. It was cut out using the Merry Christmas Dies. All the products I used can be found in the supply list below!
