Today I’m sharing a card I made with Stampin’ Up! Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper (an Online Exclusive), Greetings of the Season Samp Set (an Online Exclusive), Gold Foil Sheets, Spotlight on Nature Dies and the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (I absolutely love this embossing folder!). I also embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder.
I started with a piece of Garden Green cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. Next, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.
I adhered a piece of Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper to a piece of Gold Foil and then adhered it to the front of the card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I adhered another piece of Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper to a piece of Gold Foil (the square), added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock using the stamp set, Greetings of the Season. Then I sprinkled gold embossing powder over the sentiment and heat embossed it (if you’ve never embossed before I have directions below. I love embossing sentiments! I think it elevates the card to the next level! I cut the sentiment out using the Spotlight on Nature 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 Very Vanilla cardstock to the inside of the card.
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!

Today I’m sharing a card I made using A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper, Greetings of the Season stamp set, the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, Unbounded Love Dies and some gold embossing.
I started with a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock for the base of my card. Next, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.
I used one of the cut outs (poinsettias) in A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper an adhered it down to the embossed cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Greetings of the Season. Then, I sprinkled gold embossing powder over the sentiment, shook the excess embossing powder off and heated it up with my heat tool (if you’ve never embossed before I will have directions at the end of the post). I cut the sentiment out using the Unbounded Love Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.
