There are some products you find yourself using over and over again because you absolutely love them. Those products for me are Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper and the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. I’ve had fun using both of these products but now they are retiring and on sale!
This card is very quick and easy to make! I started with a base of Balmy Blue Blue cardstock. Then I added a layer of Whisper White cardstock that was embossed with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, I cut a piece of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper. I love dimension on a card so I put Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back before placing it on the card. The sentiment was stamped in Balmy Blue ink and also cut out with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the card.
This paper is so versatile! It can used as a thank you card but change out the sentiment and it’s a holiday card! If you’d like to make today’s card, you’ll find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

by Tracy | Dec 9, 2020 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Fun Fold Card
Today I’d like to share a beautiful card I received in the mail from my friend, Dawn.
She calls this card a Three Panel Fun Fold card and it was created using Trimming the Tree Designer Series Paper from the August-December Mini Catalog. It’s one of many retiring products in the catalog and it’s on sale, but only while supplies last!! Yesterday many products were flying off the shelves so if you love this paper, get it while you can before it’s gone forever!
To create the base of the card, Dawn used our 12″ x 12″ Whisper White cardstock, scored it and folded the paper, accordion style (all the measurements can be found below the Supply List). She added the Designer Series Paper to the panels. One of the sheets in this package is filled with houses and trees so she cut them out. Another design in the pack has a full sheet of sentiments which she also cut out. She cut the pieces by hand, to minimize waste, but the coordinating Home Together Dies will also cut the pieces.
Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, two scalloped rectangles were cut out of Misty Moonlight cardstock and two smaller ones out of Whisper White cardstock. One set was adhered to the first panel of the card. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the houses, tree and sentiment and attached to the front panel. On the inside panel, the other two rectangles were adhered and the sentiment was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink using the stamp set, Snow Wonder**. Red rhinestones were added to the tree and wreath on the front and to the wreath on the inside.
** Snow Wonder is NOT retiring but the bundle price is. After January 4, 2021, the stamp set and coordinating dies will only be offered as separate purchases, not as a bundle. After this date, it will no longer be offered at the bundle price with a savings of 10%.
Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper is part of an entire suite of products. It also includes the Coming Home Stamp Set, All the Trimmings Embellishments and All the Trimmings Ribbon Combo Pack (a bundle is also available but you’ll save more buying the stamp set and dies individually since the dies are on sale).

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!

Happy Monday!
Before sharing my projects with you today, I wanted to let you know that the new January-June 2021 Mini Catalog is coming soon and will be available on January 5th. If you’ve ordered from me in the last six months, I ordered a catalog for you (and the Sale-a-Bration brochure) from Stampin’ Up! yesterday. It will come directly from Stampin’ Up! and they will begin to mail them on December 9th. If you don’t want to wait until January to buy products from this jam-packed catalog, consider joining my team by purchasing the $99 Starter Kit. You’ll receive $125 in product for $99 and it will ship free. One of Starter Kit perks is that you can preorder products from the new catalog early! If you’d to purchase the Starter Kit, click here. Feel free to email me with any questions you might have!
Our Rectangle Tins are a fun way to package a gift card (or any small gift). I wrapped a 8″ x 2-1/2″ piece of Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper around the tin and then used our Gold 3/8″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon to “tie” it up. To open the tin, the recipient just needs to slip off the sleeve. The sentiment was stamped onto Very Vanilla cardstock using the stamp set, Wrapped in Christmas, and was cut out using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. As you can see from the picture below, a gift card fits inside perfectly!
I wrapped this next tin with Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper and wrapped our Silver 3/8″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon around it. The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Pacific Point ink. The ribbon will need to be removed first to open the tin.
Each package of tins come in a four pack and they are food safe! It’s such a quick and easy, but cute, way to wrap up a gift!

I needed a masculine birthday card this week and created it using the stamp set Happiest of Birthdays and In Good Taste Designer Series Paper.
I started with a base of Smoky Slate cardstock and then added a layer of Whisper White cardstock and then a layer of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. I struggle bit with masculine cards but this was the perfect paper to use!
I stamped the sentiment in Smoky Slate ink using the stamp set Happiest of Birthdays and then cut it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I cut another larger rectangle out of Smoky Slate cardstock and layered the two pieces together. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to back to give the card some dimension. I finished by adding three Elegant Faceted Gems to the front. If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Happy Thanksgiving Day to everyone in the United States. This holiday feels very different as many of us are not gathering together with our families but there are many things to be grateful for. Mark and I will be having a very quiet Thanksgiving but we’re going all out in the food department and making all our favorites.
2020 has brought challenges to all of us. This past year I’ve had so many of you reach out to me and I’m very thankful for all of you!
From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! Be safe, healthy and happy!
