by Tracy | Nov 25, 2024 | Christmas Card
The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive Designer Series Paper, Christmas Friends stamp set, Stylish Shapes Dies, Festive 12″ x 12″ Glimmer Paper and the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.


I started with a piece of Garden Green cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and my Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.


Did you know Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive Designer Series Paper comes with cut outs? My wreath is a cut out! After I punched the wreath out, I adhered it to the front of the card. I used our Festive Glimmer Paper to cut a banner using the Stylish Shapes Dies.


I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Garden Green ink and the stamp set, Christmas Friends. Then, I cut it out using the smaller banner in the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the Glimmer Paper and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Glimmer Paper and adhered it to the wreath.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

Today, I’m sharing two cards I made using Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Changing Leaves Bundle. This bundle has not been available for some time but it’s estimated to be back in stock the week of September 23rd! For the first card I used the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and for the second card I used the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.


I started with a base of Fresh Freesia cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I embossed Basic White cardstock using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered it to the base.


Then, I cut another piece of Fresh Freesia and scored it at the halfway mark. Next, I cut my Spendid Autumn DSP and adhered it to the front of the smaller piece. I also cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and added a piece of the same Splendid Autumn DSP design I used for the front of the card. Sometimes I like to make this piece a little bit longer and then I can trim it off. I adhered it to the inside of the card. Edited to Add: I forgot the most important step! I adhered the smaller piece to the front of the card using Tear & Tape or some other strong glue.
I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Changing Leaves. I cut the sentiment out using the Changing Leaves Dies (these dies come with the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and added it to the front of the card.


For this final card, I used the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder (a new product in the Mini Catalog).

Mystery Boxes

I’m offering Mystery Boxes again but these are primarily filled with retired stamp sets. I’ve been a demonstrator for 15 years and I’d like to give my retired stamp sets to a new home. I have filled Medium Rate Flat USPS shipping boxes stuffed with stamp sets and I’ve thrown in a few more goodies! I have included three bundles in each box with a stamp set and dies.
All of the products in the Mystery Boxes have retired but some have never been used, some are used and all are “as is”. Some of the stamp sets are wood mount and there is some staining on the wood but that doesn’t affect the quality of the stamps.
There are two ways to get a Mystery Box:
- Place a minimum $125 order (before shipping/tax) at my Stampin’ Up! online store using the host code ZY3UX3NY and I will send a Mystery Box to you as a free gift and I’ll even pay the postage! Using the host code will alert me that you want a Mystery Box. If you order is $150 or more, please DO NOT use the host code so you can receive Stampin’ Rewards (free product) directly from Stampin’ Up! After you’ve placed your order (only if your order is $150 or more), please email me that you’d like a Mystery Box (click “Email Me” on the sidebar).
- If you don’t want to place an order, you can purchase a Mystery Box for $100 plus $16 postage. Email me that you’d like a Mystery Box and I’ll send you a PayPal invoice (click “Email Me” on the sidebar).
