Here’s the second card I made featuring the Violet Dreams suite. I shared it during last week’s video.
It showcases the pretty Violet Dreams DSP seen here. There are 3 pieces from the DSP on this card: the violets die-cut, the striped frame and the green DSP strip. This DSP has 2 sheets of die-cut ephemera included in the package. I love that; it opens up so many options when creating.
Besides the DSP I added the White layer behind the frame, the Hydrangea Hue ribbon and rhinestones. So quick!
Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here.
Look closely at the coordinating colors on this card. Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy to create with perfectly matching colors. It’s my very favorite thing about SU. I used the violets as the starting point and simply repeated each color once or twice on my project for a wonderfully cohesive look.
Tip: If you struggle with color coordination pick two colors and repeat them at least once if not twice on your project. This works!
Check out the video below where I shared on more pretty card featuring DSP strips.

Leaves of Holly card with a gift card option & video
We made this pretty Christmas card at my November Card Clubs. It features the Leaves of Holly bundle seen here.
I chose these colors – Evening Evergreen, Real Red, White & Soft Succulent. I sure love the dies in this set; the greeting label with the attached holly leaves is special.
*Unfortunately the Holly Berry dies are unavailable right now; they expect they'll be back in stock around December 19th.
I think this is a classic Christmas bundle you'd find yourself using often. It's retiring on December 1st and while supplies last.
I gave my gals a choice of 'berry' options. On the left card below we added two die-cuts from the bundle. On the right card we added a Textural Element that is colored with Blends markers. It was almost a tie on which option they chose.
I stamped the two more open leave images 2-3 times each in the two green colors and added the greeting element over them. You can see how in the video below. It's actually an easy card to make.
If you want to add an easy gift card option to any card simply add a strip of DSP across the bottom of the inside. Punch the center with any circle or decorative punch and aAttach it with glue on the outer and lower edges only.

I chose an 'easy' card so those who feel rushed in getting their Christmas cards made. Plus these cards use your DSP and an embossing folder too; both make a card special.
Join me here when I share some tips on making these fun and easy cards tonight.
Gather these supplies:
Card bases 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
White or neutral background layer 3 3/4" X 5", will be textured
Another layer 4" X 5 1/4"
'ornament' circles cut from DSP – mine are almost 3" around
Silver or gold paper (or other) for the top of the ornament
Twine or thin ribbon
Other items: Greeting stamps, ink, embossing folder, snowflakes
I made one card into an easy fun fold by folding the front of the card base back on itself. For this one I chose to add greetings from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set.
The card base is Mint Macaron with White & Poppy Parade accents.

Here's a photo of the wiper mechanism. This is the scored end of the 8 1/2" X 2" layer.
It's a super fun card to open and then open again and again! There are endless possibilities to add to your wiper pop-up; think greetings, animals, balloons, stars….
