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!

  • There’s so much you can do with the Merriest Moments bundle!


    On this week's FB Live I featured the Merriest Moments bundle seen here – a beautiful bundle that includes a Hybrid embossing folder. This type of folder enables you to die-cut AND emboss at the same time!  

    However it's important to only use the large outline die inside your Hybrid folder.  Do not use the detailed die.  You can use that after or before you emboss. 

    Look at these gorgeous cards in Evening Evergreen, White, Red & Just Jade. 

    This next card really shows off the stunning die-cut & texture as well as the pretty holiday greeting.  That cute baby poinsettia is made from our Red velvet paper and the dies in this bundle.  The colors are Evening Evergreen, White and Red. 

    The set of cards below have a window die-cut in the Thick White card base after texturing.  I did run the front back through the Hybrid embossing folder again after I cut the window because it flattened a bit when die-cut.  *This is shown in the video below or click here. 

    I added just a few die-cuts and the greeting to finish them.  Simple yet beautiful! 

    Next is a gorgeous card we made at my October Card Clubs.  The pretty die-cut has been sponged with ink before or after it's embossed with the Hybrid embossing folder.  Either way works fine. 

    I chose an unlikely combo of Old Olive & Just Jade.  Who knew they'd be so beautiful together?! 

    See this amazing bundle here in my store.   

    Below is the video where I show how to make most of these cards.  I hope you watch it and get inspired to create yourself!

  • Angled Gatefold card with easy latch closure; the Christmas version


    Here's the other set of Angled Gatefold cards I made on last week's Stamp with Me Live.  Every other Monday I show a fun or easy way to use your Designer Paper. Don't hoard it; use it!  Follow me on Facebook here. 

    Each card is held closed by the punch or die-cut on the left. Placing your dimensionals on the left edge of each allows you to slip the right card flap between the greeting and the left front flap of the card base.  Don't get it?  Watch the video below! 

    See how the left flap is under the greeting? 

    Here's the link to the video; or scroll down to watch it here. 

    The colors are traditional red & green – Real Red & Old Olive.  I stamped the left side with the tiny peppermint image using White Craft ink.

    This adorable designer paper is called Gingerbread & Peppermint. It's 6 X 6" and in our Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  See it here. 

    Here are the templates; 



    And here's the video below; it's short & you'll find these cards quite easy to make!
