Do you save your scraps? Look what I did with mine!
Do you ever save your tiny scraps in the hopes of creating something with them? When I saw the little petals left from this pretty die-cut I saw a flower in my head. What do you think? Would you save them?
This pretty & delicate die-cut is from the Thoughtful Wishes bundle in the new catalog. When I prepped cards for a Team Meeting a few weeks ago I had to save the pieces & try this! It features our new 2024-26 In Color Glimmer specialty paper in the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up! This catalog goes live tomorrow! May 1st!!
Here are the three cards I made with the finished flowers:
From left to right the colors are Summer Splash, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop.
I glued the petals to a small circle; then added the white center (Zinnia die) over them.
The large leaf die is from the new Thoughtful Wishes bundle & the circles are from the new Spotlight on Nature bundle (the dotted circle is from Everyday Details).
The card above is Petunia Pop color. The pretty designer paper is our new 2024-26 Designer paper pack. I heat embossed the greeting (Spotlight on Nature set) with White embossing powder onto Black card stock. That pop of Black on a card adds a bit of elegance.
Which is your favorite of these three colors? Remember you can get in on my new product shares for just 1 more week: the In Color bundle, designer paper share or an In Color ribbon share. See details below:

It was originally created for our November Team swap. The theme was to use foil or metallic heat embossing. I did both!
Notice the background stamping on the right side; I used the Amber Autumn set with Versamark ink. The greeting is from the Ornamental Christmas set. The gold foil ‘wheat’ die-cuts are from the Amber Autumn dies The wreath stamp set is Joyful Tidings and can be seen here. I’ve always loved wreaths and used to collect them.
Here I simply heat embossed the partial wreath in Gold embossing powder. It’s stamped on a die-cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies. See the pretty gold hoop? Those are available here and are applied with either mini glue dots or thin lines of Multipurpose Liquid Glue (which I did).
My colors include Basic Beige, Mossy Meadow and Gold foil. I textured the Mossy Meadow layer with the Wreath 3D embossing folder. I also used the Labeled with Love punch to achieve the ‘ticket’ shaped corners. *look at your punches to see if you can use them in new ways!
This card is a slightly different fold because the second layer is what opens. I created a free project sheet for this card for you. Click here to download or print it.
I also have a video tutorial seen below for this beautiful card and one more beautiful card featuring the Joyful Tidings stamp set that I’ll share Wednesday.

She featured the ‘A Child is Born’ stamp set and heat embossed it on a Gold foil die-cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies. There are tons of details on her gorgeous card; I’ll highlight a few:
I think my favorite thing about her card is what she heat embossed the greeting with. Gold embossing powder wouldn’t show up very well so she mixed Copper and Black embossing powders and used that. Genius!
Measurements: – Mossy Meadow card base 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″. Cut from the center score line down one side at 1″ and again at the other side at 1″. Now score that center piece at 2 1/8″ – DSP strips are 1″ X 4 1/4″ – Gold circle die-cut is approximately 3 7/8″ – inside vanilla is 3 1/4″ X 4″ – Greeting die-cuts are 2 1/2″ long X 7/8″ tall
A stunning Christmas card Tracey!

Next is a pretty card made by Lori who used a few of the same products on her card.
She added lots of texture to her card with four different embossing folders. Those include the Sunflower 3D, Birchwood, Gathering Leaves & Soft Waves folders. These are in 1 1/4″ squares.
This kit to go includes a share of the festive designer paper, the ribbon, the peppermint gems, the ephemera greetings, the PDF tutorial and video too. Plus the pre-cut 10 cards that are all fun folds. All for $30 plus shipping. It’s a fabulous deal!

The other kit I created this month is also easy but does require stamped greetings. But there is very little prep & just a little trimming of the card bases to create these beautiful wintery cards:
These cards could be winter or holiday; it’s your choice when you stamp the greetings.
This kit originated from a former Paper Pumpkin kit but I jazzed up the cards and added more to create 12 gorgeous cards. This kit includes 12 envelopes and a share of Peppermint gems plus the PDF tutorial. I have a few left so grab yours soon. This kit is $29 and you can see it here.
