by Tracy | Sep 22, 2025 | Christmas Card
The card I’m sharing today with you uses the Festive Friends Bundle (an Online Exclusive). I did another card last Friday using the snowman, and you can see the card here. I also used Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Branching Out Dies, and Faceted Snowflakes (an Online Exclusive).
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock (this cardstock is an Online Exclusive). Next, I layered a piece of Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (this paper is gorgeous with accents of gold foil on some of the designs) to a piece of Real Red Cardstock. Then, I adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the Santa onto Basic White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Ink and the Festive Friends stamp set. I colored the Santa using Stampin’ Blends: Light (for his face and hands), Basic Black Dark (for his boots) and Real Red Dark for this hat and jacket). It’s very important to use something under when you color with Stampin’ Blends because it bleeds through (like our grid paper). I cut the Santa out using the Festive Friends Dies. Then, I set the Santa aside.
I used the Branching Out Dies to cut a shape out of Basic White cardstock using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (the third smallest die). I stamped the sentiment near the bottom of the shape using the Festive Friends stamp set in Real Red ink. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back and adhered it to the front of the card. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Santa and adhered him to the Branching Out shape.
To complete my card, I added three Faceted Snowflakes (in Cherry Cobbler) around the Santa!

I’m sharing a card with you today using the new Festive Friends Bundle (it’s an Online Exclusive). I knew I wanted to purchase this bundle when I first laid my eyes on it!
I also used Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper (an Online Exclusive), the Stylish Shapes Dies, and Faceted Snowflakes (it’s also an Online Exclusive).
I started off with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card (you can find this cardstock in the Online Exclusives part of the Stampin’ Up! store). I then layered a piece of Basic White cardstock to a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock and adhered this layer to the front of the card. I adhered a piece of Elegant Pine Snowflakes to another piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the snowman onto Basic White cardstock using Memento ink and the Festive Friends stamp set. I colored the snowman using Stampin’ Blends: Dark Timid Tiger (for his carrot nose), Dark Real Red (for his scarf and hat), and Dark Shaded Spruce for his hat. I cut the snowman out using the Festive Friends Dies.
I cut a circle out of Basic White cardstock using the 2nd largest circle die in the Stylish Shapes Dies and a circle out of Real Red cardstock using the largest circle die. I adhered the Basic White circle to the Real Red circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Festive Friends stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I first placed the sentiment where I wanted it to go and then I placed the snowman.
To complete my card, I added a Faceted Snowflake (clear) to the end of the sentiment.

by Tracy | Jun 17, 2025 | Appreciation Card
The card I’m sharing with you today was created using the Mixed Florals Bundle – because this bundle doesn’t have any sentiments, I was using the Textured Notes Dies and I decided to use the stamp set, too, Textured Notes Bundle, Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper and Starburst Sequins. All of these products are Online Exclusives.
If the links don’t work, please try them again! Look for the prices in the Supply List.
I started with Fresh Freesia cardstock for the base of my card. I then, adhered a piece of Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper to the front of the card. Next, I used the Textured Notes Dies and cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock.
I stamped using Memento Black Ink onto Basic White cardstock using the Mixed Florals stamp set. I colored the flowers and leaves using Stampin’ Blends: Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and Balmy Blue.
I adhered the Basic White rectangle to front of the card and adhered the flowers to the rectangle. I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Fresh Freesia ink and cut it out using the Textured Notes Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I completed my card by adding three Starburst Sequins in Fresh Freesia to the front of the card and I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
