When the Stampin’ Up November Online Exclusives hit the website I fell in love with the new Friendly Foliage Stamp and Die Bundle! The nested dies create a unique die cut focal image using the stamped foliage from the stamp set; because parts of the foliage image are cut away creating a Peek-a-boo effect. When I was designing this card, I didn’t want it to look like the sample card in the Online Exclusives brochure and my mind kept gravitating to the colors Secret Sea and Cloud Cover. I was able to find those colors replicated in the Beautiful Gallery designer series paper and used the 6×6 designer paper cut down to make 5 cards. Since I made several cards for a swap I ended up with a remaining 2″ square from each sheet of paper. I was able also to use 3 of the squares to make a panel that when it was embossed looked just like a full strip of the DSP like I had used in the other 4 cards. With this design, I was able to make 13 cards using up only 3 pieces of the designer paper.
The third card above shows the DSP squares used to recreate a strip of DSP behind the focal point. Be sure to let me know which card you like best. 1…2…or 3. I have provided a printable project sheet below giving all of the measurements and products used to make this beautiful but fast card. The card uses minimal supplies and goes together quickly.
Card base 8.5″x5.5″ scored 4.25″
Cardstock layer 3.5″ x 4.25″
DSP layer 2″ x 4.25″
Inside layer 4″ x 5.25″

My favorite holiday has always been Christmas and if I had my way I would certainly make Christmas cards all year long! I love the shiny Christmas lights we can see for miles around and who doesn’t love the smell of cedar and scotch pines.
The shiny bling on the Traditions of Christmas card twinkles from the shiny gold foil cardstock and from the gold outline in the design on the Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper. I also created a second card using the North Pole Delivery/Jolly Delivery Suite, which created a more whimsical card design. The card design can be created either in landscape or portrait orientation and the designer series paper panel can be flipped or not. I flipped the DSP panels in the Jolly Delivery card and I did not flip the DSP panels in the Traditions of Christmas card; but I like both looks!
Create loads of holiday cards with the Road to Christmas Kit. This vintage-inspired kit features a nostalgic Christmas truck packed with presents, set against a scenic tree farm backdrop. Add festive stamps and heartfelt sentiments to deliver an extra helping of holiday happiness in every card you create.
I stepped up my class kits by cutting down the plaid card kit bases to layer on real red, cherry cobbler, mossy meadow, lost lagoon or pool party cardstock card bases. I also stepped up a few of the cards by adding little colored tags in colors listed above along with crushed curry and old olive cardstocks for a new look. I ended up with left over card bases to make a few more cards along with 4 extra dogs and trees. I even cut my package punch out in half and either added them to the tree farm truck bed to beef up the number of packages in the truck since that card didn’t use the dog or tree punch outs. I also used them to decorate the inside of my card along with a tree and/or dog.
TIP: I also recycled the other language tags and turned them over to the white back side to stamp my own greetings for other cards.

Empowerment. Being a demonstrator can mean so much more than just crafting. It can also mean personal development and expanding your circle to include other people and new experiences.

As summer starts to leave us, I wanted to hold on just a little longer. The Charming Day Suite and Floral Charm Designer Series Paper, from the Stampin’ Up online exclusives products, embody that summer charm. This handmade card leaves you with a little feeling of summer. The beautiful colors and elegant summer flowers bring that summer feel to life.
I love making cards that have a surprise element to them. This fun fold pocket slider card packs a wow when the ribbon pull is used to show the inside surprise panel. It’s so easy to make and I hope you’ll check it out. Visit my youtube channel for full video instructions or use the clickable link below to print out the step by step instructions.

If you see something you have to have, I recommend not waiting too long to order. During the last Sale-A-Bration period, there was a set of dies with a little camper that coordinated with a stamp set from the winter mini catalog and they went like hot cakes. There are people still looking for those dies!
