Sparkle of the Season cards & box; it would make a wonderful gift!


I had to get the Sparkle of the Season bundle right away.  It is perfect for many, many occasions and these wreath dies were one of the options I gave Stampin' Up! for one of my Million Dollar stamp set ideas. You can see it on page 58 of the Holiday catalog; or click here to see it online.

The 4 cards & envelopes fit in the Kraft Gift Box perfectly.  Details on this box below; or click here. 

I used the Delicate Dahlias stamp set for a few of the greetings here.  Other products used were: 

  • Cork & Kraft paper in the Holiday catalog
  • Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, So Saffron, Soft Succulent, Vanilla & Evening Evergreen CS
  • Inks – Versamark, Crumb Cake
  • Metallic pearls & Artistry Sequins, Banners Pick a Punch, Vanilla envelopes, Circles Collection dies
  • clear embossing powder & Heat Tool

Isn't Pool Party beautiful with Crumb Cake & Soft Suede?  And our new Cork paper is amazing; thin but with beautiful texture.

Here's a picture of everything you get in the Sparkle of the Season bundle.  See it here or on page 58 of the Holiday catalog. 

I bet you're wondering where this card box is from.  It's quite hidden in the Holiday catalog in my opinion.  See it here or on page 11 or 75.  There are 10 in a package and they already have adhesives on the flaps! They fit our A2 cards & envelopes perfectly!  Get 10 for $10. I heat embossed leaves on it for added texture.  Check out the video below for my tip on masking the window. 

Here's a link to the video; it's the first project featuring the Sparkle of the Season dies. The photo shows my Halloween cards but it is the correct video!

  • See how the Josephs Coat Technique is done; with video & free project sheet


    Here's another project made on last week's Live video; it's the Josephs Coat technique using the new, upcoming Leaf Collection stamp.  

    That greeting stamp & scalloped oval die-cut are from the new Unbounded Love bundle from the upcoming 2024 Annual Catalog. I showed how to do this technique in the video here.  I also have a free project sheet with directions. 

    Here are the steps:

    1. Sponge ink all over a neutral piece of card stock – Pretty Peacock, new Summer Splash and lastly Granny Apple Green. 
    2. Wipe off any excess ink with a tissue to remove moisture.  Swipe with an embossing buddy.
    3. Ink your stamp in Versamark ink. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder.  
    4. Use a water-based ink pad like Memento Black and rub or tap the ink over it all.  This is called 'Direct to Paper'. 
    5. With a damp tissue or paper towel, wipe off excess ink from the embossed area. It will not stay on the embossed area. 
    6. Finish your card as you'd like. 

    I inked the stamp again in a few colors – Granny Apple Green & Summer Splash, and fussy cut some leaves out for accents. Dies used above include Something Fancy & Stylish Shapes. 

    The card below features an emboss resist technique.  Same colors but the steps are different. 

    1. First I stamped using Versamark ink onto White card stock and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. 
    2. Then I added ink over the clear embossing; using Blending Brushes. Inks include: Summer Splash, Pretty Peacock and Granny Apple Green.  *This must be water-based ink!
    3. Use a damp tissue or paper towel to wipe off excess ink that will not stick to the embossed areas. Done! 

    The greeting is from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (online exclusive) and the tags are from the Something Fancy dies (carrying over).

  • Let’s Chat is cute & nostalgic! See the video & free project sheet


    Today I'm sharing one of the Club cards we made during my April Card Clubs. I chose the 'Let's Chat' stamp set seen here. 

    I love this set!  Between the fun old-fashioned telephone, the greetings and the curvy 'cord' images it's a blast to create with. 

    I chose to use the retiring Hot Air Balloon designer paper seen here for my color palette of Fresh Freesia & Balmy Blue. We did fussy cut the head set to add at the top with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

    For the inside of the card I used the Happy Little Things stamp set seen here.  I really like the many greeting combinations you can make. t's one of our online exclusives.
