It’s Wednesday but I have my Tuesday Tutorial for you today.
I took a few days off because on Monday, my daughter, Jenny, married her best friend, Mike!! We planned a big wedding in March with friends and family but sadly, it had to be canceled due to Coronavirus. We were able to postpone the wedding to September (because the virus would be over and done with by then, right?) but in July, the venue had a catastrophic fire so date number two was cancelled. Jenny & Mike didn’t want to wait for the pandemic to be over before they could get married so they planned wedding #3 with just immediate family and they took great care to make sure the ceremony and reception would be social distanced and responsible. Several weeks before the wedding was to take place, our county went into the purple tier because of increased Coronavirus cases and yes, we had to cancel, again. At the last minute, they were able to find another venue in a different county and they were married! It was a gorgeous wedding and there was such joy on both of their faces. I couldn’t be happier for the two of them!! Here’s a picture of the happy couple!

Today’s card features the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch and the brand new (and available for a limited time) Classic Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.
I started with a base of Shaded Spruce cardstock and then added layers of Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White. Before adhering the Whisper White cardstock, I placed it inside the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
The Classic Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper was cut out with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. I really enjoying using punches and am thrilled that Stampin’ Up! keeps adding more to their product lineup!
The sentiment was stamped in Shaded Spruce ink using the stamp set, Warm & Toasty and was cut out using the Layering Circles Dies. The Cherry Cobbler cardstock underneath the sentiment was cut out using the Tasteful Labels Dies. I love the detail around this die!
If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements below the Supply List.

In the last few months, I’ve received several No Contact orders which means that the customer would prefer I not contact them. Please know that I always send a thank you via email for any orders placed through me and that I’m very appreciative. If you’ve placed an order and have NOT received a thank you and didn’t realize you chose No Contact, please contact me. On to today’s card!
Today’s card features the stamp set, Wrapped in Christmas and the So Many Snowflakes Dies.
I started with a base of Pool Party cardstock with a layer of Whisper White cardstock that was cut using the So Many Snowflakes Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I love how the die, cuts an opening in the paper with pretty stitching and snowflakes!
I added a piece of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper behind the opening before adhering the Whisper White cardstock to the card base. The sentiment was stamped with Versamark ink using the stamp set Wrapped in Christmas and then embossed with Silver Embossing Powder (see directions for heat embossing below). I cut it out using the Stitched Shapes Dies and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using the So Many Snowflakes Dies, I cut two snowflakes out of Silver Foil (I rolled up several Mini Glue Dots into balls to attach them). It was a fun card to make and really quick and easy!
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing an anti-static pouch 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 as your sentiment is transformed!

Today’s card features the Snowflake Wishes Bundle and Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper.
The Snowflake Wishes Bundle includes the Snowflake Wishes stamp set and the So Many Snowflakes Dies. You can purchase these two products separately but when purchased using the special bundle number, you’ll save 10%.
After cutting the snowflake shape, I added adhesive around the outside edges of a piece of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper and secured it behind the snowflake. Before adhering these two pieces to my Highland Heather card base, I used the Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment. When making several cards of the same design, the Stamparatus makes stamping your sentiment quick and easy. If you place your paper in the same place each time, you can quickly stamp the sentiment without worries that it will be straight!
To complete the card, I added a Coastal Cabana rhinestone from the Holiday Rhinestones Basic Jewels which also includes Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie and Shaded Spruce. If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Today’s card is a fun fold that features Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper and the stamp set, Wrapped in Christmas.
The base of the card is Pretty Peacock cardstock (you can find all the measurements below the Supply List) with two panels of Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper. The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using Pretty Peacock ink and the stamp set, Wrapped in Christmas. I used the Layering Ovals Dies to cut out the sentiment and the scalloped oval in Silver Foil. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to just the top of the sentiment so the card will easily open. A piece of Very Vanilla cardstock was added to the inside and a rhinestone was placed right below the sentiment to complete the card. Super easy to make!

Today’s cards features Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (which is currently on sale) and the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I used the same design of Peony Garden Designer Series Paper for all three cards but on this first one, I added an embossed panel of Gray Granite cardstock.
The sentiment, from the stamp set Life Is Beautiful, was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Gray Granite ink and was then cut out with the Tasteful Labels Dies.
On this next card, I replaced the embossed Gray Granite cardstock with Old Olive cardstock and the sentiment was stamped in Old Olive ink.
And here’s another version of the card using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies which were used to cut out the sentiment and the stitched Old Olive rectangle.
If you’d like to create today’s card, you’ll find the measurements below the Supply List.

The card I’m sharing today features Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (this is one of fifteen papers on sale during the month of October!) and our Poinsettia Dies.
I started with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock and then added a layer of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (all the measurements I used can be found below the Supply List). Next, I created the Poinsettia using the Poinsettia Dies, Whisper White cardstock and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. When you cut each poinsettia out, the paper will also be embossed! To do this, you’ll use two pieces, the outline and the piece that fits inside (you’ll do this for the leaves too) and then run it through your die-cutting machine. I added blue tape (these two dies have gone through my machine at least a hundred times) to the dies so I could easily and quickly know how to fit them together (I tried permanent ink but it rubbed off).
A beautiful Beaded Pearl was added to the center of the poinsettia. These pearls are so pretty in person and really add elegance to a card. They’ve been very popular and are now on the Low Inventory List which means they can go into backorder status at any time. If you’d had your eye on them, grab some while you can!
I embossed the sentiment using Silver Embossing Powder and the stamp set, Banner Year. Here are directions for embossing:
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing an anti-static pouch 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!
