Today I have a second card utilizing the Sending Cheer Bundle. This one features the sweet Gingerbread Man, or I supposed it could be a Ms. Gingerbread. Either way, it is adorable.
Stamp Bundle
The images from Sending Cheer Bundle definitely bring a Smile to anyone. This gingerbread popping out of the envelope is sure to do that. He, along with the envelope and sentiment are all part of the Bundle. And it is on the Last Chance List!! The fact there are matching dies and even some extra dies, like a Santa Hat, make this a must have.
The gingerbread is stamped using Pecan Pie Ink, with Real Red Stampin’ Blends for the hearts. His facial features are stamped with Early Espresso Ink. For the sentiment I went with Real Red again to brighten up some of the darker colors. My idea for the envelope came from a card on Pinterest. It is stamped using Wild Wheat Ink. I then took the Take Your Pick Craft Knife and cut a slit in the top V shape where he is popping out.
Papers
The card base is Copper Clay which is a touch darker than the Pecan Pie Ink of the gingerbread. Since the DSP is a white background, I used Mossy Meadow for the layer between the two. The gorgeous and fun DSP is from the Traditions of St. Nick Designer Series Paper. I really love all of the images in this paper pack. To finish the papers, I used Mossy Meadow again as the backing of the sentiment layers.
Finishes
To ground the different pieces, I opted to use the Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon. I really like the white trim around the edges. And it is an easy ribbon to work with. The envelope is placed just a little right of center This allows room for the bow to the left and the sentiment layer overlapping a bit on the right. The shapes for the sentiment are one of my favorite punches. It is the Double Oval Punch. The final touch is a scattering of some of the darker Adhesive Backed Solid Gems.

The papers used are the largest part of this card. It began with Night of Navy card stock that is 11 X 4 1/4 and scored at 1 1/2 and 5 1/2. Those are the important measurements. After that you can decorate as you see fit. I added the lovely Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper. Those packages on the front are a tad busy, but makes me think of anticipation of what is inside!! I am a kid at heart with gifts!!
The inside green paper is also from the same Beary Christmas DSP. As is the little bear on the inside by the sentiment. It is fussy cut from a scrap piece. To add some contrast to the front, and match the inside, I used Old Olive for the tag.
Stamps
All of the stamped images are from the Beary Cute stamp set. The bear is not the one that matches the Punch, which is part of the Beary Cute Bundle. So I fussy cut him as well. It is an easy cut. And I do not mind fussy cutting. The sentiment is included in the set also. It was intended as a straight line, like it stamps. But it just would not work that way. So I improvised and cut it in half.
Tag
This perfectly sized tag is the new Sparkling Snowflake Tag Topper punch. I love the little snowflake at the top. But this could be used as other than a Winter tag I think. It is a bit difficult to see, but I ran the red ribbon through the lower opening of the snowflake and down the front of the tag. Then it comes up the back and meets again at the top. The bow is separate and added with a glue dot. I did not realize that the bear and sentiment would almost totally cover the ribbon. It does look really cute wrapped around that way.
To finish the tag and the card, I added a touch of bling. This is my normal, but I was very restrained today. The paper is so busy that I knew bling would get lost on the DSP. So I ended with a single Adhesive Glitter Sequin in matching blue for the bear’s scarf. The size and glitter adds just the right amount of bling!

Today’s card features the Sending Cheer Bundle. These fun images are great for tags or cards. My project is a card featuring the lovely stocking.
Bundle
The Sending Cheer Bundle is one that is a bit of whimsy, really pretty, and versatile. As I said at the top, these images are great for making gift tags or cards. This card is really quick and easy. The matching dies for Sending Cheer cut the stocking in two parts. This makes it so easy to add the white cuff. I opted to use just card stock instead of stamping or using DSP for the stocking body.
The holly leaves and berries are stamps included in the set. They are then die cut with matching dies. The sentiment is also included in the stamp set. I really love this one. The mix of fonts is great as is the sweet sentiment. It is embossed with White Embossing powder to help it pop against the Cherry Cobbler card stock.
Paper
The card base is Cherry Cobbler card stock with a layer of Basic White. This helps the DSP to really stand out. The lovely plaid is from the Joyful Designer Series Paper. It says Christmas to me. (Sadly this paper is sold out, however there are several others still available that will work perfectly. You may have some in your stash.) I went a bit out of the norm on the “mantle” . The wood look gold piece is from the same Joyful DSP. I saw it and immediately thought it would be perfect for the mantel to hang the stocking. It is simply a 1/2″ tall strip.
Finishes
There are not a lot of extras needed on this card. Of course I had to have bling. So I added some of the Iridescent Pearls scattered around. The sentiment is die cut, it is very subtle, with a die from the Christmas Classics Dies. It was the perfect length and has rounded corners. I think it makes the sentiment look a little more classy.

The first thing I want to say is to CHECK OUT THE CLEARANCE RACK! It has been updated again with some great discounts.
Today’s card is a Festive & Fun one. That is the set used and a favorite with the adorable animals. This one is To You From Me!
Stamps
The Festive & Fun stamp set is one I have used a few times. The animals in this set are precious. And you know I love the cute animal images. This one I call Mr. Moose. There was a large moose several years ago that I adored. This one is a much smaller version but just as cute. And him serving cake is so sweet.
The sentiment is from the stamp set also. There is more to it than what is shown. I cut off the first part to make it fit better and it did not alter the sound of the sentiment.
Note: I have been embossing recently and am loving it. Previously I would never get a good image. Well……my Versamark Ink was really old and did not improve with re-inking. So I bought a new one. And it is a world of difference. The pads last a long time, but this was one I bought maybe 20 years ago. Sometimes it is not me and actually is a problem with the tool. Now I am loving embossing again. The bolder and brighter sentiment is always a good thing.
Papers
The fun plaid papers are from the Joy of Christmas Designer series Paper. I love plaid and being able to pair both the Shaded Spruce and Real Red plaid together was a good thing. Sadly this DSP is sold out. I apologize, but if you have it then you are good to go. And if not then there are tons of other papers that will work just as well. And I know everyone is not a fan of plaid.
The card base is Shaded Spruce and I added a Real Red tag behind the Shaded Spruce Plaid tag. To help the colors separate and to compliment Mr. Moose, I added a layer of Wild Wheat. This is such a versatile color in my opinion.
Finishes
The layers for this card are normal layers so I added the circle for Mr. Moose. He is cut using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. It is a tiny bit smaller than him. But the bottom is covered by the sentiment anyway. My favorite parts are the tags! I love this tag. It is a perfect size for gift tags or layers like this. The Merriest Trees Dies is where it is from. And I have said it before, but I am so thrilled that this bundle is carrying over. I love those trees, but the tag is my favorite.
The sentiment I mentioned earlier. It is simply fussy cut and raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals over the bottom of the circle. Since I cut off the first couple of words it was simpler to just cut a rectangle and leave it at that. The embossing makes it pop.
The final touch is the bling! These are the Blooming Pearls embellishments. There are a variety of colors but I chose the greenish ones. They are scattered on the tag and a third one on the sentiment.

Today’s card showcases the Translucent Florals Bundle. This bundle is really fabulous and I am thrilled to say that it is carrying over!
Bundle
The Translucent Florals Bundle is really beautiful images with well scripted common sentiments. It is going to carrying over , however the bundled price will not carry over. So if this is on your Wish List, it is 10% less now as a bundle.
To create this card, I stamped the two flowers and the large leaves image using Soft Sea Foam Ink. And it is stamped on Vellum card stock. Sadly, this is not really clear in the photo. At least it does not stand out well. In person, it is much more apparent. But I still love the look this created. And I failed to mention that it is a Fun Fold. 🙂
Sentiment
There is not a front sentiment on this card which I have done a couple of times recently. This is really shocking and I did not even realize it. LOL!!! However the inside sentiment is from the Sending Smiles stamp set. It’s simplicity goes well with the card.
Papers
The card base is Lost Lagoon with layers of different pages of the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper. I still love this paper and the patterns and shading it has. Here is the open view of the card.
The Fun Fold opens to show the three different patterns of the DSP. And the simple sentiment. The Basic White layer is a full 4 X 5 1/4 and I simply added the far right DSP piece flush with the top, bottom , and right side. You can see the Vellum card stock a little better from the open view. I will caution you to be careful when stamping on Vellum. It is slick, so carefully stamp and hold the block steady. And it does not dry quickly at all! I let it sit for a few minutes and still used my Heat Tool to make sure it was dry before I did the die cutting. Better safe than sorry!
Finishes
The vellum pieces are attached to the edge of the front fold with Glue Dots strategically placed. Vellum is a bit difficult to adhere since you can see through it. I was careful to hide the glue dot behind the next layer as I added the images. And for the flowers, I added the Glue Dot to the center. Then I finished with a trio of the smallest Blooming Pearls for the flower centers.
Measurements
card base of Lost Lagoon is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and scored at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4. Fold and burnish to create the folds.
DSP layers are all three cut to 2 X 5 1/4
Inside Basic White is 4 X 5 1/4 with the DSP adhered over the right half. * You could cut the Basic White to fit without the DSP over top.

The Beary Christmas DSP is such beautiful paper that it is the star of today’s card. I have made one of my favorite things, a gift card holder to share with you.
Papers
The star of this card is for sure the paper. I used the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper. The softer colors and all of the animal print in this larger piece make me feel all warm and cozy. Although the prints are in snow and that is not warm and cozy. But making Christmas cards definitely is. And this one is a gift card holder.
To create this card I used two different pieces from the Beary Christmas DSP pack. This snow scene was cut to continue to the inside. Here is an open view.
The gift shares both the left and right side of the open view. Just a bit of fun there. And the little Christmas tree is cut from the same piece that the focal point on the front is from. I fussy cut the tree but it was really quick.
Dies
The two Deckled Rectangles Dies used on the front of the card are a different take on a “spotlight”. At least that is what I am calling it. I loved the little scene with the two bears and wanted a way to showcase them and their gifts. The two sizes of the Dies worked perfectly and fit on the front well. It is hard to believe that there is not stamping on the front of my card again today!
Stamp set
The only stamping on the entire card is the inside sentiment. It is from the Beary Cute stamp set. I love the cursive and simple Merry Christmas. My first plan had been for it to be on the front of the card. So I embossed it in White with that in mind. After building the front panel I realized that there was not a good spot to place a sentiment. So I fussy cut it a little bit and then added it to the inside. The Night of Navy with White embossing really pops as the sentiment and plays with the Night of Navy card base.
Measurements
card base of Night of Navy is 11 X 4 1/4 and scored at 1 1/2 and 5 1/2.
The front layers are Very Vanilla cut to 3 3/4 X 4 and DSP cut to 3 5/8 X 3 7/8
The gift card slot is covered with Very Vanilla at 1 1/4 X 4 and DSP at 1 1/8 X 3 7/8
The inside has a Very Vanilla that is 5 1/4 X 4
The right side DSP is evenly spaced on the end of large Very Vanilla and is 1 1/8 X 3 7/8.

Today is a two for one card share. The Merriest Trees Dies make a quick and easy card, or two!
This is such an easy card, that I made two. One is the opposite of the other with the papers.
Both trees together
Dies
The Merriest Trees Dies make this card super easy. With using DSP as the card layer, I was able to cut both pieces at the same time. Then it was easy peasy to simply lay the trees into the die cut section. I told you it was a quick one! And these fabulous Dies are carrying over! That makes me so happy.
Papers
The DSP used on both cards is from the Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper. This bold and bright (hence the name) paper is such a Fun paper. It is definitely bold patterns with bright colors. And I love it! The Fa la la piece may be my favorite, but the little trees are a close second.
The DSP is each paired with Lemon Lime Twist for another bright color. And they both have Basic White layer to highlight the DSP.
Finishes
To complete both cards was very simple as well. I added a Silver Glimmer paper star that also came from the Merriest Trees Dies. And that is complimented by Adhesive Backed Glitter Sequins. They are scattered around the trees to give more sparkle. I decided those two items were all the trees needed and left the fronts clear of sentiments. The fun trees tell you it is a Christmas card.
Thank you for stopping by today! If you want the Merriest Trees Bundle as a discounted bundle, then get it before the catalog retires. They are carrying over, but will not have the bundle priced.

The card I have to share with you today is made with products from the Online Exclusives. The Trucking Along bundle, which was so popular a few months ago, is the star.
Stamp Bundle
The Trucking Along Bundle was very popular and still is in my book. It is available as an Online Exclusive now. I love all of the added pieces that can fit in the back of the truck. Actually I used two of those pieces. The tree for the bed of the truck and then the gifts at the top with the sentiment. There are a couple of sentiments for different times of year. Personally, I love the Festive Christmas!
The truck is stamped with Real Red for the outline, but has Sweet Sorbet as the filler. And I was fine with the splotchy look of the filler. It gives the worn truck look. There is more detail showing up close. I also added the “Farm Fresh” on the truck door with Copper Clay ink.
Dies
The wonderful Dies used here are the Deckled Circles. I have seen so many of the half moon cards made with these dies that I wanted to try something different. My original thought was to only use the truck half, but soon saw that it needed both halves. I apologize for not paying attention to which two of the circles I used. These Deckled Circles are carrying over and will be in the Online Exclusives when the Mini Catalog retires.
Paper and Finishes
The gorgeous plaid foil is from the Tartan Foil Specialty Designer Series Paper. It too is an Online Exclusive. The paper is a little thinner than regular, which is a good thing for mailing cards. You can see a little of the shiny in the photo where the light caught it. I paired the Tartan with a card base of Copper Clay, but gave a different layer with the Mossy Meadow. That ties into the tree and the circles.
To ground the truck, I used the Copper Clay light Stampin’ Blend to create a dirt road. I also used the Copper Clay ink for the sentiment. All of the gifts are colored using coordinating colors of Stampin’ Blends. The finishing touch was a little milky way look of Iridescent Pearls. I may have gotten a bit carried away with them, but wanted to have a fun swirl between the circle halves.

The Autumn Leaves Bundle has been a fabulous Fall and Thanksgiving “go to” for me. But I love the stamped images so much I had to carry it over for a Fall Birthday.
Leaves
The Leaves are the star of this card in my opinion. I actually did not use the Autumn Leaves stamp set, only the Autumn Leaves Dies were used. Two of the little oak leaves were die cut from Copper Clay card stock. I really love the detail the little dies have included. And then a large leaf was cut from Gold Foil paper. It really helps the gold in the papers to pop!
The sentiment layer is also cut using the sentiment die from the Autumn Leaves Dies. This shape is great for so many of the SU sentiments. And there is also one that is more square with similar details included. The sentiment itself is from the Translucent Florals stamp set. It is a simple and bold Happy Birthday.
Papers
The unusual color I pulled from the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper is Moody Mauve. I was surprised at how well I like this color here. And yes, I am sad to say the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper is gone for good. But as popular as it was, I am sure several of you have it to still use. And if not, there are lots of gorgeous DSP available that could be used with this layout.
The layout I used is one I came up with when looking through the DSP. I chose different papers to showcase and ended with these three and the layout. They are all from the DSP pack. Pairing the Crumb Cake and Moody Mauve was from looking at what seemed to be the dominant colors.
Finishes
The gold foil leaf was a surprisingly good choice to pop! Next came the placement of the two little leaves and they needed something to hold them together. The Bakers Twine was great for this. I made a double bow to stand out a little more. Then the Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots were scattered around the sentiment. And yes, they are gone as well.
Layout Measurements
Card base of Moody Mauve is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored and folded at 4 1/4
Crumb Cake back layer is 5 1/8 X 3 1/8 with wood DSP 5 X 3
Crumb Cake middle layer is 4 1/8 X 2 1/8 with leaves DSP of 4 X 2
Crumb Cake bottom layer is 4 1/8 X 1 5/8 with metallic DSP of 4 X 1 1/2

The card I have to share today is using the Magical Meadow Bundle. The scenes in this set remind me more of mountains than meadows. And I love them!
Stamps and Dies
This beautiful tree image is from the Magical Meadows stamp set. The fun shape is actually the shape of the image and it’s matching Die. I really like the rugged look it gives. The sentiment is from the, in my opinion, must have stamp set titled Go To Greetings. This set has a few regularly used sentiment in a couple of sizes. I really love it and use it quite often. The sentiment was stamped and then the edges were angle cut with Paper Snips.
Papers
This beautiful greenery paper is from the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper. It is definitely not just Christmas paper! These leaves have such beautiful shades of green that I was able to use Shaded Spruce card stock and Old Olive ink for a perfect pairing.
Details
This is a fairly simple card but has several different texture details. The strip behind the focal area is embossed using the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder. That is definitely a favorite folder. I also added a strip of the Wavy Trim to carry more of the Mountain theme. And the thin ribbon behind the trim is actually Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding. I was looking for a soft green and this was perfect. Sadly it is a retired ribbon, but it worked for me. I am sure you have ribbon in your stash that would work as well. The final touch is a scattering of the green Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots.
