Before sharing my project for today, I want to remind you that today’s the last day of the Seasonal Sale! Grab these great deals before they’re gone! If you’re thinking about purchasing a bundle from the Annual Catalog, this is one time when purchasing a bundle is not the best way to go because all stamps and dies from the Annual Catalog are on sale.
You’ll save:
- 10% off all punches
- 15% of all stamps (Host stamp sets are not included in this sale)
- 20% off all dies
- 20% off all embossing folders
- 20% off all non-specialty and non-assortment Designer Series Paper

Today’s project was made using Stampin’ Up! Envelope Treat Boxes. They are the perfect size for a gift card but I added candy to mine (and I possibly ate some of the candy while making the project).
It’s very easy to assemble the box. You fold on all the score lines and then there are tabs on each corner with adhesive already on them. After my box was made, I started by cutting a piece of Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the inside of the box (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). After placing four Ghirardelli Chocolates inside, I closed up the box.
Closing up the box is easy as well.
Next, I wrapped a piece of Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper around the box, scoring it with my fingers around the sides of the box and then adhered the two ends together at the bottom of the box. I used our Silver Foil to cut a circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies (on sale today) and adhered it to the front of the box. Then I stamped the sentiment using the stamp set Snowman Magic in Real Red ink. I cut it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies (on sale today), added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the foil circle.
Bundle Alert: The Snowman Magic Bundle in the Mini Catalog includes the Snowman Magic stamp set and the Snowman Dies

- 10% off all punches
- 15% of all stamps (Host stamp sets are not included in this sale)
- 20% off all dies
- 20% off all embossing folders

Today’s cards are fun folds which means they don’t open in the traditional way. I used Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper for this first one and one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
I started with a piece of Real Red cardstock and scored and folded to create my fun fold. Then I cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock, embossed them using one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders (on sale until tomorrow) and attached them to the two front panels. Then I cut another piece of Real Red cardstock and layered it with a piece of Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper. On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side only and then adhered it to the left panel.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Garden Green ink and the stamp set Framed & Festive. This stamp set is only available while supplies last. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (also on sale until tomorrow!), added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
This next card was made using Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper. This paper has been out of stock but is now available! You can see another version of this card HERE.
I wasn’t going to share this card because the Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper is sold out but if you happen to already have this paper, here’s another idea for you using the same fold.
I used the Brightest Glow stamp set (one of my favorites in the Mini Catalog) and heat embossed the sentiment using Gold Embossing Powder. I also used Cherry Cobbler cardstock, Gold Foil and the Labels Aglow Dies. The Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper was cut down to 3″ x 3″ and the gold foil is 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″.
Bundle Alert: The Brightest Glow Bundle (159552) includes the Brightest Glow stamp set and the Labels Aglow Dies. When you purchase both together in a bundle, you’ll receive a 10% discount.

Today’s card is a fun fold and features the new stamp set, Framed & Festive (available while supplies last), Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper, Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and the Stylish Shapes Dies
I started with a piece of Real Red cardstock for the base of my card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I embossed two pieces of Basic White cardstock using one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered one to each panel on the front of the card. Then, I cut another piece of Real Red cardstock and layered it with a piece of Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper. On the back I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side only and then adhered it to the left panel.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Framed & Festive stamp set and Garden Green ink. I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Low Inventory Alert: The Stylish Shapes Dies have been very popular and are currently on the Low Inventory List. Once stock is depleted, they will be back in stock but I don’t know how long they’ll be unavailable.

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.
