Wishes all Around Christmas card with video & free project sheet


I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We sure did!  We spent it with our kids – playing games, making puzzles and of course enjoying wonderful food.

~~~

Have you noticed the Wishes All Around bundle in the 2023 Holiday catalog?  

I've always loved wreaths.  In fact I used to collect them and put them up at Christmas time on a big wall in my dining room. 

I thought this Wishes All Around stamp bundle seen here had a wide variety of pretty stamps and wonderful dies. 

I heat embossed the tree wreath image in White embossing powder and die-cut it with the coordinating dies. I added it onto three cut panels from the Brushed Gold Cards & envelopes; each one cut at 1 5/8" X 4" and added to my Navy card base. These panels are textured with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

I love the fact that you can cut the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes into two card fronts; more bang for your buck! 

Below is a photo of all of the card swaps I made.  I truly love these Brushed Gold cards & envelopes. I've found them quite versatile and easy to use. 

Here's a photo of this sweet bundle. As you can see it has three die-cut wreaths, snowflakes, trees and stems/berries. All meant to coordinate with the stamp set. 

I made a second version in the video last week. Which do you prefer?

Bow on top or on the bottom of the wreath?  Gold or white embossed greeting?


Below is the video where I shared this pretty card.  Unfortunately this video has some blurry spots; I hope you can bear with me!

  • September Specials and New Catalog Party this week!


    It all begins today for Stampin’ Up! September specials! But before I get into those I have to remind my local gals to stop in for my New Catalog party on Thursday.

    It’s the last event I’ll be holding at my home studio in Minot. We love our new home in Bismarck though but it is hard to say goodbye to our Minot friends. I sincerely hope I see most of you again since I hope to return occasionally for a class or Bunco event.

    There’s a new Product of the Month for September and it’s a winner!

    It’s called Luxe Foliage Specialty Designer paper and can be seen here. It’s yours for just $5 once your order reaches the $75 point. I love that they offer a new item each and every month. There’s a nice variety to choose from. I cannot believe there is still some of the Glow of Harvest DSP left. And the Begonia Belle stamp set is still available as well.

    There is also a few new kits in our Kit Collection too. You can see it all here!

    There are new Online Exclusives that start today! Click here to see them.

    New Hot Foil products are here! Check them out here.

    Get this free PDF tutorial with ANY online purchase from me in September! Gorgeous cards in this one!

  • Delicate Botanical Expressions card with video & free project sheet


    Before I share today’s card I want to remind you that today is the last day to take advantage of the Designer Paper and Card stock sale. Go here to shop and grab the deals on paper.

    Here’s the pretty card I shared last week on video. We made them at my August Card Clubs. Sadly it was the last Club I’ll hold in Minot. Our house has an offer in pending and I’ll have just one last event this Thursday there. My home studio has so many wonderful memories from my friends/customers. It’s hard to say goodbye!

    I’m holding my Holiday Catalog open house September 3rd from 3:30-6 pm. If you’re local please come to see me (and the displays, food and deals!)

    It features the new Botanical Expressions die (the white leaves die-cut) seen here. It’s a single die that can be used in multiple ways. I especially love the cut lines in the dies.
    *Tip: rub waxed paper over the cutting side of your dies every few cuts; it releases the card stock easily then.

    Here I adhered it over dark green DSP and added Barely Blush DSP above and below it. There are so many pretty details here!

    The floral DSP is called Bloom Boutique Specialty paper and can be seen here. It’s filled with gold foil highlights.

    This card is a landscape gatefold card. The Peaceful Pine layer is adhered to only the left side of the card base.
    My greetings are from the Scalloped Blooms and Framed Violets sets. The inside flowers are from the Flowering Meadow stamp set.

    That pretty scalloped greeting die is also from the Scalloped Blooms bundle seen here.


    I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it. It has measurements, supplies, photos and directions.

    I also shared the ‘how to’ video below. I hope you watch!

  • Reserve your Holiday designer paper share now!


    The designer papers in the upcoming 2016 Holiday catalog & newest Online Exclusives are amazing! I had a few requests to offer a share of them. If you like getting a sample of all of the new papers a share is a great option. Then you can decide if you want to order a full pack.

    The photo below shows all but one set of papers included. It’s a big bunch!

    I’m including specialty papers, new Online Exclusive papers and of course every new DSP in the catalog! There will be 82 sheets of 6 X 6″ paper in this share.

    Reserve yours here; it will be open for a few weeks into September. It’s $39 plus approximately $10 shipping in the US. *I am not offering a ribbon or embellishment share this time.

    Once the catalog goes live in early September I will order the shares. It can take up to a few weeks for it to arrive, prepped and mailed.
