I have a fun Christmas card to share today. And one of the details allows you to easily make two and have some cute pieces left over. I love that!
I may have lightened the colors too much. I wanted you to be able to see the Tin Tiles detail behind the focal center piece. The large Real Red section is embossed with the Tin Tiles 3D Embossing Folder. And that is the special piece I mentioned at the beginning. I embossed a 6X6 piece of Real Red card stock. That size fits perfectly inside the embossing folder. It also makes lining up the tiles properly very simple. That was my main goal. The after part was just a happy bonus!! After embossing, I cut off the bottom two squares, and then cut in half the remaining six. This gives what I have on the card. You have the same piece plus the two cut from the bottom for additional projects.
The stamps are all from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set. I used the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series paper for the striped background. It is where all of my color choices came from. The ribbon is from the Playful Pets Trim Combo. I have used this red and white ribbon on several projects.
Measurements:
Mossy Meadow cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 folded in half
Whisper White cut to 5 1/4 X 4
DSP cut to 5 X 3 3/4
The embossed Real Red as mentioned in the narrative
Whisper White cut to 2 X 3 1/2

This cute card I have for you today is another card I received in a swap. It is a case from fellow demonstrator Cheryl Campbell. She cased page 12 of the Mini Catalog. I love her version!! All I changed is the colors.
This is a great card to make multiples of. And a great use of DSP, in that you are not using a large amount of it. I used the Garden Green side of the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper for the “ribbon” on this package.
The bow is stamped tone on tone onto the Garden Green and punched using the matching bow. The sentiment is from the Gift Wrapped stamp set. That is even better! The only thing you may not be able to see in the photo is that I raised the top layer. The Garden Green is glued to the Thick Very Vanilla, and then the top layer is added using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I have all of the measurements for you below. Thank you again for stopping by today.
Measurements:
Thick Very Vanilla cut to 4 1/4 X 11, scored and folded in half
Garden Green cut to 4 X 5 1/4
Very Vanilla cut to 3 3/4 X 5
Garden Green cut to 1 X 5 and 1 X 3 3/4
Toile Tidings DSP cut to 7/8 X 5 and 7/8 X 3 3/4
Scrap Garden Green for the bow

Today’s card is actually two cards made with the same products and an older technique. I have made two Pinwheel cards for you. I generally make two, or at least cut the card stock for two cards. Sometimes one ends in the trash, but both of these cards were successful.
For both cards, I used the same colors and pinwheels. The Mango Melody is embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I did change the sentiments and the layout. This card has a sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set. It pairs with the Banner Pick A Punch, which I used as well.
Here is the second version.
For this card, I changed the orientation to portrait. I also used the Banner Year for the sentiment.
The colors are all based on the DSP. It is the Tis The Season Designer Series Paper along with Rich Razzleberry card stock and Mango Melody card stock. The pinwheels are white squares of 1 1/8 X 1 1/8 and DSP squares of 1 X 1. The center is the Gilded Gems on the first card and Gold Glitter Dots on the second one.
Thank you for stopping by today! I love bringing out different layouts and showing the posibilities.
The Curvy Bundle is available beginning today! All of the details are in the flyer below. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Stampin’ Up! is doing an early release with one of the Bundles from the upcoming January – June Mini Catalog. It will be available for you to order beginning tomorrow. In addition to the stamp and die which will be in the Mini Catalog, there are additional products that are only available during this early release. It is a Christmas stamp set, which pairs with the dies, and some beautiful 6X6 Designer Series Paper. I was able to preorder it as a demonstrtor. That is one of our awesome perks! So I have a birthday card using the bundle and the Designer Series Paper.
The Pictures of the products are shown below. The Quite Curvy Bundle will be in the upcoming Mini Catalog. As I said above, the Curvy Christmas and the Classic Christmas DSP will only be available during this Sneak Peek time of November and December.
For today’s project I used two sheets of the Classic Christmas DSP. The colors are gorgeous! I cut the top piece using one of the curvy dies in the bundle.
The sentiment is from the Quite Curvy stamp set. It is shaped a little curvy to go along with the curve of the die cut. I stamped the sentiment using Just Jade Ink to pair with the Just Jade base card.
The leaves are from the Love Of Leaves Bundle. I stamped the images tone on tone and then used both the definition die as well as the cutting die for each leaf. After laying them out the way I liked, I added a double strand bow using Linen Thread. The Linen Thread is one of my must have products!
Thank you for stopping in today! I really appreciate it and hope you like the card. Please come back tomorrow for another new project.

I have a quick and easy Christmas card to share with you today. I have combined the Winter Woods stamp set with some matching DSP for a cute Christmas Tree card.
The beautiful tree is from the Winter Woods stamp set and stamped using Shaded Spruce Ink. I love the detail in the stamp! I paired it with a similar looking tree on the DSP from the Tis The Season Designer Series Paper.
The sentiment is from the Cherish The Season stamp set. I love the beautiful script of the sentiment. The ground beneath the tree is stamped in Pool Party. For the finishing touch I added the darker red rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestones.
Today’s measurements:
base of Shaded Spruce is 4 1/4 X 11
Cherry Cobbler is 4 1/8 X 5 3/8
DSP is 4 X 5 1/4
Whisper White is 3 3/8 X 4 7/8
