Time of Giving for your Holiday projects with video tutorial.


On last Tuesday's FB Live I focused on the Time of Giving bundle in the current 2021 Holiday Catalog.  This bundle is for many occasions and more fun and versatile than I thought! 

I'll start with the autumn card featuring the baby wipe technique.

Isn't it pretty?!  My colors are Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie & Old Olive. Those are the ink refills I used on my baby wipe. If you haven't done the baby wipe technique please watch the video below or click here.  It's so simple and all you need is a folded baby wipe and a few colors of ink refills.  

The little die-cut leaves on the greeting are also in this bundle.  The Gold Fine Art ribbon is from the annual catalog as well as the white die-cut for the greeting.  It's in the Stitched So Sweetly set.


  All of these images & dies are from this Tidings of Giving bundle seen here. 

Next is a beautiful snowflake card that's mostly white but the pop of colors shows off this pretty die wonderfully!  It creates a 'window' effect.  I die-cut three dies in a row on my White CS and for the soft colors under it I used my blending brushes with Just Jade & Bermuda Bay ink.

For this next card I chose the Santa & sleigh die.  As you can see I left a wide border on this one so I could stamp the greeting directly on it.  This pretty background paper is from the Beauty of the Earth DSP in the Stampin' Up! annual catalog seen here. 

And here is a card using the ornament die.  Again I cut three in a row, lowering the die each time.  Another bit of the Beauty of the Earth designer paper on the side and a greeting added with the Double Oval Punch.  Glittered white ribbon finishes it off. 

And below is the video where you can see how I achieved these techniques.  I hope you watch!  *Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel here too!

  • Celebrate Sunflowers Triple Panel Card with video!


    I made this card on Facebook Live last night on my weekly Monday night 'Stamp with Me'.  It's such a fun technique!  

    I love blues and browns together and chose to use Just Jade, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Pool Party with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here).  What do you think of this color combination? One of my favorite things about creating is coming up with unique color combos.  

    I have some great tips on doing this technique.

    • Start out with three colors of card stock measuring 3 1/2" X 4 1/2". 
    • Cut these into three strips 1 1/2" wide. 
    • Lay them together and adhere a piece of copy paper to the back side to keep them held together while stamping. 
    • Stamp large and small images all over the three colors of card stock with Soft Suede ink. *Always stamp the largest image first! 
    • Or use Designer Series Paper instead of stamps! 
    • Adhere to the Early Espresso layer (4 3/4" X 5").  Then to the full 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base. 

    The pool party greeting strips are either 3/4" or 1" wide by about 4" long.  I used the new Pick a Punch (seen here) on the ends and added a thin strip (about 1/4") of Early Espresso card stock under it as an accent.  I finished it with a double bow made with our Linen Thread.

  • Blossoms in Bloom; another pretty cards duo


    Today I have a pair of cards made with the 'Split Technique'. This is where you stamp or die-cut once to get two cards.  

    I used the Blossoms in Bloom bundle seen here, cutting out two sets of floral dies. I'm sharing lots of projects featuring this incredible bundle this week. 

    I sponged the thicker die-cut with Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay.  Then I adhered the thin die-cut over the sponged one using liquid multipurpose adhesive.  Next I cut the full, layered die-cut in half so I could place each half on a card.

    What do you think of this color combination?  I like to find unique combinations when I play with Stampin' Up!'s gorgeous variety of colors.  

    The Many Layered Blossoms dies includes two large dies and several smaller flowers.  The two large dies include both a finely cut and a thicker blossom die for effortless layering.  I cut out once of each; both from Whisper White card stock. 


    The Highland Heather layer is textured with the new Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  It's very subtle and gives a delicate textile pattern. 

    The greeting die-cut banner is from the Tasteful Labels dies; stamped in Bermuda Bay ink.
