TIS THE SEASON

Today’s card was inspired by a card I saw on Pintrest creatd by Heart’s Delight Cards.  I changed some of the colors and a few of the products to make it my own.  It features the Noel Tidings Stamp Set and the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Cherry Cobbler cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼” (one of my favorite colors for Christmas.  I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 2 x 5 1/8” and stamped some of the pine boughs in Peaceful Pine Ink and some of the little pinecones in Pecan Pie Ink from the Noel Tidings Stamp Set up and down the center.  Then I embossed the piece with the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder and mounted it onto a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock that measured 2 1/8 x 5 ¼”.  I added that to the left side of my card. 

I want to make a point here.  If you don’t have the Hot Foil System you most definitely can use a regular stamped sentiment on this card and it will look great.  I have the new system and I have to say I love it.  (Hint: when the family asks what you want for Christmas this system would make a great gift).

Since I have the system, I used Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil and the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies to create my sentiment “Tis the Season”.  This die has seven different sentiments, two candy canes and three stars that are all heat set at once and cut out with a single die making it really efficient for making lots of Christmas projects.  I mounted my sentiment onto a scrap piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock that measures about ½ x 2 5/8” and added it to the card using Dimensionals. 

To finish off the card I added some red berry gems I had in my stash from last year but you could use the basic rhinestone jewels just color them with a Stampin’ Blend marker or even the pearls.  The key is to be flexible with embellishments rather than buying a bunch of new stuff (save that for the basic supplies you really need to craft).  For the inside I just cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the same bough and pinecones down in the bottom corner.

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:

VELVET MEADOW HAVE A FABULOUS DAY

Today’s card once again features the beautiful Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Keeping with the theme I started on my last post I wanted to show case the DSP and make a super simple card.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Cloud Cover cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a piece of the Velvet Meadow DSP to 4 x 5 ¼” and then cut off 7/8” and flipped that over so the back was showing.  I used tape to put the two pieces back together so I could work with them.  I added a little piece of the Berry Burst Shiny Ribbon around the seam and adhered the whole piece to my card base.  I stamped the sentiment “Have a Fabulous Day” from the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set onto a 2 x2” scrap of Cloud Cover cardstock using Berry Burst Ink and then die cut that out using one of the stitched circle dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies and added it to my card with Dimensionals.  Super simple and really fast.

VELVET MEADOWS FUN

Today’s card features the beautiful Velvet Meadows Specialty Designer Series Paper.  I love that this paper has velvet feeling features on it.  I decided to make the paper the focal point of the card and keep the whole card quite simple.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Basic White cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I added a layer of the Velvet Meadows DSP (I used a very subtle side of one of the papers that is just shade of cloud cover for this layer) that measures 4 x 5 ¼” and I adhered that directly to the card base.  I then added an additional layer (also featuring the cloud cover color but this time with lots of design elements and lots of velvet features) that measures 3 ¾ x 4” and that was adhered right onto the first layer.

Now for the real focal point, I cut a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock to 2 ¾ x 4” and a beautiful floral piece of the DSP that features lots of flowers that are the Melon Mambo color that measures 2 ½ x 3 ¾” and adhered them together.  I wrapped a piece of white baker’s twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack around the two pieces and tied a bow.  Then I added that layer to the center of my card front using Dimensionals.  To finish off the card I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a stitched circle out of Basic White cardstock and stamped it with the sentiment.  The sentiment “Thinking of You” comes from the Phrases and Frames Stamp Set which is full of great sentiments and it was stamped using Melon Mambo Ink.

BLACK AND GOLD OH MY

Today’s card features some brand new Online Exclusives just released by Stampin’ Up!  I used the Timeless Celebrations Bundle and the beautiful new Truly Timeless 12 x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper on this card.  I also used the new Stampin’ Up! Hot Foil System, which I absolutely love. 

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Basic Black cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a piece of the Very Vanilla and Gold Truly Timeless Specialty DSP to 3 x 4” (the 4” being they vertical direction, you have to watch the direction of your paper if it is directional on these cuts) and added it to the center of my card front.  Then I cut a piece of the Black and Gold DSP (again watch the directionality of your paper) to 2 ½ x 4 ½” and layered that across the center of the card over the first piece of DSP.

Next, I took a piece of Gold Foil Sheet that measured about 2 ¼ x 3 ¾” and embossed and cut the oval with the flowers out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies that are part of the bundle.  Don’t you just love that embossed piece?  I cut two of the foliage pieces from the bundle out of a scrap of Basic Black cardstock.  I added my gold oval to the center of the card using Dimentionals and then glued on the two foliage pieces to it. 

My next step was to add a sentiment.  This sentiment “SENDING BUNCHES OF LOVE” if from the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies.  I used Gold Hot Foil and Black cardstock to create mine.  This hot die set includes the plate for the sentiment and a die to cut it out, actually you can do all the sentiments in the set (a total of 11) in one quick use of the system.  To use the hot foil dies, you have to have the Stampin’ Hot Foil System and the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.  I suggest you check out one of the many videos including ones from Stampin’ Up! that demonstrate the use of the machine.  It has been a real game changer for me.  I added the sentiment to my card using two Mini Dimensionals one on each end of the sentiment. 

Please remember you don't have to have everything exactly the same.  If you don't have or want the expense of the Hot Foil System you can always simply stamp your sentiment using VersaMark Ink and emboss it with Gold Embossing Powder.  This is a great alternative.  Or you could simply stamp a sentiment from the bundle onto Very Vanilla cardstock using Black ink and die cut it with the die included in the bundle.  Remember these cards are for inspiration and not something you need to make exactly the same.

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and stamped the largest of the flowers from the set onto it using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I used the same stamp and ink to stamp my envelope. 

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:

VELVET MEADOWS THINKING OF YOU (10-26-2026)

Today’s card features the beautiful Velvet Meadows Specialty Designer Series Paper (yes there are parts of the paper that are raised and feel like velvet) and the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set.  Sometimes you just need to let someone know that they are on your mind and that you care and a simple card is just what you need.  This card was inspired by a card I saw that was created by The Westcoast Papercrafter.  Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Peaceful Pine cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a piece of Basic Beige cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and then two pieces of Peaceful Pine cardstock to ½ x 5” (x2) and a piece of the Velvet Meadows Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) to 2 ¼ x5”.  I stamped my sentiment “Thinking of You” from the Phrases & Frames stamp set onto the upper right corner using Berry Burst Ink.  Next, I began to build my layers.  I started with my DSP and adhered it to the right side of the Basic Beige cardstock layer being sure to keep a consistent border on the right side and top and bottom.  Next, I added a strip of the Peaceful Pines cardstock to the left of that with that same border and finally I added the second strip of the Peaceful Pines to the left side of this layer again being sure to keep that same border.  Once that layer was done, I added Barely Blush Bordered Ribbon in the center of the two Peaceful Pines strips and tied it in a square knot.  I added this layer to my card base.

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the sentiment “May your day be filled with love and happiness” from the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set in Berry Burst Ink.  To finish the project off I cut a piece of the DSP to 2 x 6” and added it to the flap of my envelope.  This was a little narrow so I just trimmed the envelope a little (I hate to waste pretty DSP so I do this often so I can get more envelopes out of a single piece of DSP).  I did use a corner rounder on the corners of the envelope flap after I cut it down.
