I hope everyone from the U.S. had an enjoyable Thanksgiving yesterday!
It’s the biggest shopping day of the year! I bet some of you were out at the crack of dawn, if not earlier, grabbing some great deals. Personally, I get a little cranky with lots of crowds so I prefer to do my shopping sitting at home in front of my computer. Because it’s Black Friday, I have a special when you place a Stampin’ Up! order at my online store today.
Fine Details:
After you place your order, I’ll send an email to you to find out your choice(s) or you can immediately email me with what you’d like.
- The host code UQK3VSNJ must be used when placing your order.
- All orders will receive an extra card kit.
- $50-$74.99 order will receive a free package of rhinestones (choose from Holiday, Noble Peacock, or Basic Jewels)
- $75-$99.99 order will receive a free embossing folder (your choice)
- $100 -$149.99 order will receive both the rhinestones & embossing folder
- Orders over $150, do not use the Host Code so you’ll receive Stampin’ Rewards from Stampin’ Up! (free product) plus you’ll receive rhinestones and an embossing folder from me.
I’ll place the orders for the free gifts tomorrow. After I receive them from Stampin’ Up!, I’ll send them out to you (your free gifts should arrive in approximately two weeks).
Very important: If I don’t receive a response from you before 10:00 am (Pacific Time) on Saturday morning, November 30th, I reserve the right to choose your free gifts so I can finalize the order and the gifts will arrive in the time I stated above.
Offer valid in the U.S.
Place your order here!
My card today features the stamp set Itty Bitty Christmas and our 6″ x 6″ Night Before Christmas Designer Series Paper. With all the beautiful designs on this paper, card-making is super easy!
I embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder and cut it out using my die-cutting machine and the Stitched Rectangle Dies. If you haven’t embossed before, it’s pretty easy. Here are the instructions:
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy over the surface (this 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 the magic happen!
You’ll find all the products I used to create today’s card listed below. Simply click any of the images to place an order or for more information.

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Monday!
Today’s card is all about foil! If you like sparkle, you’re going to love Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper. Each sheet in this 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper is double-sided with a beautiful foil pattern on one side and realistic designs on the other. I combined two of the foil designs to create today’s card. It can be really difficult to photograph foil paper and the beauty of the paper is hard to capture but it’s very pretty in person!
I embossed my sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set. At this time of year embossing adds a special touch to your cards. To cut the sentiment out, I used the Stitched Shapes Dies. The scalloped circle underneath it was cut out with the Layering Circles Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the scalloped oval as well as the smaller panel of foil and cardstock.
Heat Embossing Directions
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy over the surface (this 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 so the paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch the magic happen!

This is the second day of the Online Extravaganza and some cardstock (Blackberry Bliss and Rich Razzleberry) have already gone into backorder status. The sale ends tomorrow so be sure to place your orders as soon as you can. To see everything on sale, click here.
Today’s card combines Night of Navy cardstock with Feels Like Frost 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. On one side of this paper, all the designs are in foil and on the other, realistic images. Absolutely stunning! Feels Like Frost has been on backorder multiple times but it’s now in stock!
The sentiment comes from the stamp set Itty Bitty Christmas. It has 18 different sentiments to choose from!
I heat embossed the sentiment using Silver Embossing Powder. I love the elegance embossing gives a card!
To heat emboss, prepare your cardstock first by rubbing the Embossing Buddy over the surface. Then stamp the sentiment or image using a Versamark stamp pad. Sprinkle embossing powder over the image and shake off the excess. Then use the Heat Tool to melt the powder. It’s so easy and the results are amazing!

Yesterday’s card featured paper from Night Before Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and today my card showcases another design from this pack of paper along with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies.
Because I find it difficult leaving a prominent piece of cardstock plain, I used my very favorite embossing folder of the season, Hammered Metal. After running the Crushed Curry cardstock and embossing folder through my die-cutting machine, I wrapped our 3/8″ Metallic-Edge Gold Ribbon around the cardstock and then placed Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back and attached it to my card base of Crushed Curry.
I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive onto Very Vanilla cardstock using the Birds of a Feather stamp set. Then I cut it out using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies
If you’d like to make today’s card, you’ll find the supply list below which includes all the Stampin’ Up! products I used. All the measurements can be found below as well.

Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Plaid stamp set and Night Before Christmas Designer Series Paper. I also used the Subtle Embossing Folder for just a touch of dimension on the Very Vanilla cardstock. Normally I’d use Stampin’ Dimensionals on both the sentiment and the Designer Series Paper rectangle piece but for this card, I only used them on the sentiment.
Below I have another version of the card using Cherry Cobbler underneath the Designer Series Paper instead of Night of Navy and I DID use Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the piece up.
The sentiment was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and cut out using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I love the detail of the stitching! The oval underneath was cut out using the Layering Ovals Dies.
If you’d like to make today’s card, you’ll find the measurements I used below the Supply List. I have to give credit for this layout to Amy Frillicii over at Gathering Inkspiration.

I wasn’t able to get onto my computer yesterday (we dealt with water in our garage, a broken water heater and no water for 24 hours, yikes!) with a reminder about my November Online Card Class so I’m extending it until the end of today. If you place a minimum $50 order at my Stampin’ Up! online store and use the host code FB3XVRGF, you’ll receive 6 card kits, 2 of each design, with paper that’s been cut, scored, die cut, embossed and punched plus a PDF Tutorial and video link showing how to assemble the cards! For all the details, click here.
Today’s Tuesday Tutorial is for a card that’s quick and easy to create that features our Night Before Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. In the two designs below, one uses the Subtle Embossing Folder and the other, the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder. I love the extra texture of embossing but you can choose not to emboss. This is a great design to replicate over and over again with different cardstock and Designer Series Paper. You’ll find your FREE PDF Tutorial below the Supply List.
