I used the Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper (#152312) to create today’s card. Beginning on March 3rd, this beautiful foil paper will be available as a FREE Sale-a-Bration gift with a $50 purchase but only while supplies last!
This design is pretty all on it’s own but I used a Seaside Spray ink pad and a sponge dauber to add color to the paper.
The card base is Pacific Point cardstock with a layer of Seaside Spray cardstock, embossed using the Eyelet Lace embossing folder and a die-cutting machine (all the measurements I used can be found below the Supply List).
After coloring the Flowering Foils Designer Series paper, I adhered it to a piece of Gold Foil and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.
The sentiment was stamped with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder using the stamp set, Timeless Tropical. To prepare my Whisper White paper, I went over the surface with an Embossing Buddy as it helps extra powder from sticking. Then I stamped the sentiment using a Versmark pad, poured the embossing powder over the paper and shook off the excess. Once my Heat Tool was very hot (cuts down on warping) I melted the embossing powder for beautiful results!
The sentiment was cut out using the Stitched Shapes Dies and a larger oval in Gold Foil was cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies. They were adhered together and then Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back before placing it on my card.

Today’s card features Night Before Christmas Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Catalog. This paper is part of the Year-End Closeout and is only available while supplies last. The designs in this pack of paper coordinate with Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and Old Olive (three colors I used for today’s card) as well as Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Poppy Parade, and Pretty Peacock.
I used the stamp set, Itty Bitty Christmas, which includes 18 different stamps! The sentiment was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink and cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies. The Cherry Cobbler scalloped oval in Old Olive was cut out with the Layering Ovals Dies.
I also used the Stitched Shapes Dies to cut out the Designer Series Paper. The Old Olive scalloped square was cut out using the Layering Squares Dies. The Cherry Cobbler cardstock was embossed with the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (this item is not one of the retiring Holiday Catalog products).

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?

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.

Happy Friday!!
Yesterday I shared a card using Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper (you can see it here). This gorgeous paper comes in 6″ x 6″ sheets and after making yesterday’s card, I had a strip of paper left over and used it to make today’s card!
I used Purple Posy cardstock for the base of my card. The next layer is Whisper White that was embossed with the Subtle embossing folder. This step is optional but I personally like the added texture. The sentiment is from the stamp set, Very Versailles. It was inked up with Gorgeous Grape and then cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies. The Purple Posy layer below it was made using the Layering Ovals Dies. All the supplies I used are listed below in the Supply List and below that, you’ll find the measurements.
Have a great weekend!
