Beautiful, vintage themed Yuletide Carols card kit to go

I chose this pretty Yuletide Carols designer paper as the theme of this Christmas card kit. One of the sheets includes multiple printed panels that make creating with it super easy.

The pretty music score prints and antique looking paper are very on trend and special. Three of the five cards are fun fold layouts here.

In this pre-cut card kit to go you’ll receive 1/2 pkg of the Yuletide Carols DSP, a share of Antique Pearls and Linen Thread. The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment. It’s $32 plus shipping. See this option here.

If you’d like the PDF tutorial only you can see that here. It’s $17.

This kit include all pre-cut pieces for the 10 cards (2 each of 5 layouts) except the DSP. You will cut your new designer paper using the instructions in the tutorial. You’ll need greeting images, dark brown ink, a few markers and adhesives. The kits are mailed out before Thanksgiving weekend.

Remember that I have multiple card kits available to choose from including 5 Christmas card kits! You save on shipping costs when you order more than one.

I’ll share my other new kit tomorrow!

• Last card in the Joseph’s Coat series with a video & free project sheet for each!

  August 13, 2025

  ---

  Here’s the last card made with the Joseph’s Coat technique this week.  You can see the video tutorial below.  

  

  It features the Textured Notes stamp set seen here.  I love this set! But I love the dies in the bundle even more.  See the bundle here. 

  I used two of our newest In Colors here – Secret Sea and Timid Tiger.  I love the fact that the Secret Sea matches the Cloud Cover card stock I used for the card base; when sponged lightly. 

  Both of these colors are part of the big In Color sale during August, 2025!  It includes card stock, inks, markers, designer papers, embellishments, kits and lots more!  Check out the many discounted products here. 

  If you’re wondering how to make this incredible colorful effect please watch the video below.  I also gave the step by step directions in this post.

• Gorgeous Joseph’s Coat technique with free project sheet & video

  August 12, 2025

  ---

  Here’s another beautiful card made with the Joseph’s Coat technique. I shared it on last week’s Live video.  It’s so fun!

  

  My colors include Secret Sea, Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling.  The stamp set is called Artistic Leaves and can be seen here. 

  

  This technique involved adding color to White card stock and then heat embossing images in Clear powder over the colors.  Next rub a dark ink pad (Memento Black here).  The embossed images resist the black ink – it must be water-based ink!  

  Watch the video below to see how it’s done.  It’s super fun and such a cool effect.  

  I stamped the inside leaf with color by inking it in Timid Tiger ink and adding Secret Sea to the outer edges.  Then I stamped the coordinating stamp in Darling Duckling.

• A colorful Joseph’s Coat technique with Layered Thoughts

  August 11, 2025

  ---

  Have you ever done the Joseph’s Coat technique?  It’s one of those techniques that makes you feel like an artist.

  

  I shared how to do it on last week’s Live video. The card I’m featuring today uses the Layering Thoughts technique with three of our newest In Colors – Strawberry Slush, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger.  

  

  These colors – card stock, ink, refills, gems, markers and card stock are all 15% off in August. See these products and so much more here.  It’s a great time to grab these items while discounted. 

  This technique involves a few steps:

  1. sponge colors over your neutral card stock – I used White. 
  2. Tap or rub the embossing buddy over the layer. 
  3. Stamp your images using Versamark ink. 
  4. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder and your heat tool. Let dry. 
  5. Rub a dark ink (memento black here) over the entire layer.  The embossed areas will resist the water based ink. 
  6. Dab off excess ink with a tissue or paper towel.  Done!  

  Here’s how I finished the inside.  I wanted to use all of the colors I colored on the front so I used my Stampin’ Write markers on the stamp before stamping.

  I’ll be sharing the other cards in the next few days. Stay tuned!
