I know Christmas is right around the corner but I couldn’t resist playing with Feels Like Frost 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper one last time. Since this paper debuted last year, it’s been one of my favorites. One side is silver foil and the other depicts photographic imagery. Especially at this time of year, I’m very drawn towards silver foil and it pairs so beautifully with silver embossing. It’s really difficult to photograph cards with foil and be able to properly show how pretty it is. This beautiful paper is retiring (and on sale) and will be available while supplies last.
The base of my card is Shaded Spruce cardstock and I added a layer of Whisper White cardstock that I embossed using the Winter Snow Embossing Folder (also retiring and on sale – available while supplies last). I cut a square of Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper using the Stitched Shapes Dies (you can get four squares out of one sheet) and cut a larger square out of Whisper White cardstock using the Layering Squares Dies. The Stitched Shapes Dies coordinate with our Layering Squares Dies, Layering Ovals Dies and Layering Circles Dies! I layered the two squares together and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the embossed Whisper White cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment onto Whisper White cardstock using the stamp set Itty Bitty Christmas and Versamark ink (you can find directions for heat embossing below). I cut the sentiment out using the Stitched Shapes Die and adhered it to the foil square. Normally I would have added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the card but because I was planning to mail this card, I only wanted one layer of dimension to keep the mailing cost down.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing an anti-static pouch (Stampin’ Up! no longer carries this product but it’s a must when embossing) over the surface 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. 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!
If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find the measurements I used below the supply list.

Today’s card is a sneak peek of a brand new product, Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper, from the upcoming January-June 2021 Mini Catalog (the catalog goes live on January 5, 2021). So many fun new products to look forward to!!!
I started with a base of Poppy Parade cardstock and then added a piece of Whisper White cardstock that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I added another layer of Poppy Parade cardstock and adhered a panel of Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (154558). If you don’t want to wait to get your hands on all the new products in the upcoming catalog, you might want to consider joining my team and purchasing the Starter Kit. The Starter Kit is $99 and you’ll select $125 worth of product that ships FREE. You can choose from any Stampin’ Up! products, even the new Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. This new machine will be available on January 5, 2021, but if you purchase the Starter Kit, you can add it to your order! For more details about the Starter Kit, please click here. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.
If you don’t recognize the sentiment I used it’s because it’s a brand new stamp set called Heal Your Heart and will be one of the FREE Saleabration gifts you can earn with a $50 order beginning January 5th! I stamped the sentiment in Poppy Parade ink and cut it out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. If you’d like to make this card, you can find the measurements below the Supply List.

I don’t normally post on Saturday but I wanted to share the card I’d planned for Thursday. On Wednesday morning I finally got a flu shot and another one for shingles. I don’t normally experience any of the side effects but this time I sure did! I spent all of Thursday in bed and part of yesterday as well but today I’m back to normal! Whew!
Before sharing my card, I want to let you know that Stampin’ Up! will be having their Year-End Closeout on Tuesday, December 8th! Items from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog will be included in the closeout with some products discounted up to 50%. Not all items from the Mini Catalog will be included as some will be carrying over into the Annual Catalog in 2021. I apologize for the very small print, but you can click HERE for a PDF of what will be on sale and what will be discounted. All products in the sale will be WHILE SUPPLIES LAST so be sure to shop early! Please note: due to increased shipping times and possible shipping delays during the month of December, delivery before Christmas cannot be guaranteed. If you have any questions, please contact me!
Today’s card features Tis’ the Season Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Perfectly Plaid.
I started with a base of Shaded Spruce cardstock and then added a layer of Whisper White cardstock and Tis the Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. Tis’ the Season WILL be included in the closeout and will be discounted 20% beginning on Tuesday, December 8th. I added a strip of Shaded Spruce cardstock and used the Banner Triple Punch to make a banner (you can find all the measurements I used below the supply list). Then I ran it through the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. I LOVE this embossing folder and sadly, it is one of the products being retired BUT it will be discounted 50% and you’ll be able to get it for $3.75!!! Be sure to shop early on Tuesday!
I stamped the sentiment onto Whisper White cardstock using Shaded Spruce ink and then cut it out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I layered it onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock that was cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. These two sets of dies coordinate beautifully! To complete my card, I added three Holiday Rhinestones in Shaded Spruce on the sentiment.

Today’s card features Feels Like Frost 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock and then added a layer of Whisper White cardstock on top. Before adhering it to the card base, I placed it inside the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper was layered onto pieces of Highland Heather cardstock.
The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using the stamp set Good Morning Magnolia in Gorgeous Grape ink and cut out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. Before placing the sentiment onto the front of the card, I added some Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back. I used my Dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blend to color our Basic Rhinestones. I love that my paper and rhinestones match!
