Today’s card is a fun fold using Boughs of Holly 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and a new stamp set, Framed & Festive (#160888), that will debut on November 1, 2022. This stamp set will be available while supplies last. To see the flyer that includes this stamp set and the other products that will also be available November 1st, click HERE.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and scored it in two places to make the card look like a book (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Between the two folds I used Tear & Tape which is a very strong adhesive and you can see where I placed it in the picture below.
After creating the fold, I cut two pieces of Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the front of the card. I wrapped a piece of Metallic Mesh Ribbon around the left side of the card and tied a knot. If you haven’t seen this ribbon in person, it’s gorgeous!!
I heat embossed the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Silver Embossing Powder and a Versamark pad. If you’ve never heat embossed before, I have directions below. I find that heat embossing a sentiment makes the card extra fancy.
I cut the sentiment out using the Layering Circles Dies. Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, I cut a larger circle out of Silver Foil. I adhered the two pieces together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the front of the card.
To complete the card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper 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 and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image becomes shiny and beautiful!
Supply List
Below you’ll find all the Stampin’ Up! supplies I used for today’s card. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.

Today’s card was made using the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Gingerbread Bundle which includes the Sweet Gingerbread stamp set and the Gingerbread House Dies. I also used one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders to add some dimension to my snow.
This was a fun card to make. There are a lot of little pieces to cut out using the Gingerbread House Dies but once you have all your pieces ready, it goes fast.
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock. Then I used the Gingerbread House Dies to cut the snow, house, roof, windows and heart. I used the Sweet Gingerbread stamp set, to add the swirls to the house using Early Espresso ink, stamped the door in Real Red ink onto Basic White cardstock and stamped the trees in Garden Green ink, also onto Basic White cardstock.
Next, I used one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders to add dimension to the snow. I went back and forth wondering if I should just leave it plain but when in doubt, emboss! I used the Gingerbread House Dies to cut the trees and door. Time to assemble!!
First, I adhered the roof, heart and door to the house. Then I adhered the snow to the card but left areas open so I could slip in the house and trees. After adding adhesive to the back of the house and the trees, I placed them behind the snow. I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Real Red ink and the Sweet Gingerbread stamp set and cut it out using the Gingerbread House Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it right above the chimney.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside to give the card a little bit more stability.

Today’s cards are very quick and easy to make and they all use two products that will be available on November 1, 2022. I used the Framed Florets stamp set and Fitting Florets 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (this paper will only be available while supplies last) for all three cards I’m sharing today.
I started with a base of Night of Navy cardstock. Then I layered the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper onto a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and then adhered it to the card base.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Night of Navy ink and then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I added three Elegant Faceted Gems to the sentiment and also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
Here are two more variations of the card. For the first card, I used Balmy Blue and Evening Evergreen cardstock as well as Evening Evergreen ink.
For this next card, I used all the same colors that were used with the first card.

Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Perched in a Tree Bundle which includes the stamp set Perched in a Tree and the Aspen Tree Dies. This bundle was unavailable for some time but it’s now in stock.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and then cut a piece of Garden Green & another of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. I ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I then cut a piece of Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper and adhered all three pieces to the front of my card.
I used the Aspen Tree Dies to cut two leaves out of Garden Green cardstock and one of out Soft Sea Foam cardstock. The beauty of these dies is that they not only cut out the leaves but they’re embossed too! I set the leaves aside and then stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock in Garden Green ink using the stamp set Perched in a Tree. I then cut it out using the Labels Aglow Dies.
I used Mini Glue Dots to attached the leaves to the sentiment and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
I placed a Festive Pearl on each side of the sentiment and three more on the background.

Today I have a sneak peek of products that will be available on November 1st. The products I used on my card that will be available in less than two weeks are:
- Framed Florets stamp set #161815
- Fitting Florets 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper #161814 – this product will only be available while supplies last
- Framed Florets Dies #160623
- Framed Florets Bundle #162407 (this includes the Framed Florets Stamp Set and the Framed Florets Dies)
I had this card in mind for a person that loves pink so I started with a piece of Polished Pink cardstock. Then I added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder.
Next, I used the Framed Florets Dies to cut one of the flowers out of the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper and then set it aside. I used the Framed Florets Dies again, to cut an oval (it includes a frame around the oval) once using Basic White cardstock and a second time using Polished Pink cardstock. I took the Polished Pink frame and adhered it to the center of the card. Then I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink on the Basic White oval and adhered it to the inside of the Polished Pink frame.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the flowers I cut out and then adhered it onto the oval. Super easy! These products make it so easy to make a beautiful card!
If you don’t want to wait for this collection of products, demonstrators can purchase products early. If you purchase the Starter Kit, you can order the Fitting Florets Collection today!
