Today I’m sharing a card I made using Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper, Greetings of the Season stamp set, Stylish Shapes Dies, Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (currently on the Low Inventory List). I also added some silver embossing powder to my sentiment to make it sparkle!
I started with a piece of Shaded Spruce for the base of my card. Then I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I cut a piece of Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper (I like to cut this paper longer than I actually need and then trim it off; I will add the exact dimensions of the finished piece below the Supply List). I then adhered it to the embossed Basic White cardstock and then adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using a Versamark ink pad, sprinkled my silver embossing powder over it and then heated it with my heat tool. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut it out, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (I like to use a lot of Dimensionals) and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems in silver, to the front and added a piece of Basic White 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!
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. The Specialty Plate is used with 3D Embossing Folders.

The card I’m sharing with you today was made using Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Merriest Tree stamp set, Nested Essentials Dies, the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, Iridescent Foil Gems and some heat embossing using Metallics WOW! Embossing Powder in Gold.
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 (this embossing folder is currently on the Low Inventory List as of this writing) and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I layered a piece of Gold Foil and Season of Green & Gold Specialty Paper, then adhered it to the middle of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink and sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and then used my heat tool to melt the embossing powder. I cut the sentiment out using the Nested Essentials Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added another piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to the inside of the card and added five Iridescent Foil Gems to the the front of the card. I chose these gems because they have gold flecks in them which was perfect for my card!

Here’s my card for today! I used A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper, Greetings of the Season stamp set, Deckled Rectangles Dies, Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and some heat embossing!
I started with Real Red cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a piece of A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper to the front of my card. I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I added the embossed cardstock to a piece of Real Red cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Then, I heat embossed my sentiment using the stamp set, Greetings of the Season. If you have never tried heat embossing, I have directions down below. You’ll love the results! I used Gold Embossing Powder because there are flecks of gold in the Christmas tree. I then cut the sentiment out using the Deckled Rectangles Dies.
I punched out the tree (this set comes with three pages of die cuts that you just punch out – how easy is that!), and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back. Then, I figured out where I wanted to put the tree and sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the front and adhered the tree beside it.
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.
