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.

Stamps and Dies
This card is made with one of my favorite ever leaf sets. I love the shading of the stamped images in the Autumn Leaves set. And being able to add the veining, if desired, really takes it up a notch. For today’s card I opted to keep everything fairly simple. The leaves are stamped with Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze Inks. I added the veining with Basic Gray Ink.
To add a bit more dimension to the card, I die cut two of the small leaves from Old Olive card stock. And used the lovely frame also from the Autumn Leaves Dies. The sentiment is from the set as well and fits perfectly in the space. I am thrilled that this bundle is going to carryover for a bit of time.
Extra Definition
To add some extra definition to this card I used the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. This one is in the Online Exclusives. It is a great leafy folder and could be used year round. By embossing on White card stock there is a softer look I believe. Plus adding the two die cut leaves adds to the texture also.
Papers
The card stocks used are a mix of what could be considered Fall colors. Old Olive is the card base as well as the focal layer base. But to add a bit of color, I opted to use Crushed Curry for the first layer. It helps to give the embossed White a bit of help, and also brings out the Crushed Curry leaf. I also used it to ground the sentiment . The white on white did not show at all well. But adding that little scrap strip of Crushed Curry was a perfect touch. And the final touch is the scattering of the Speckled Dot Adhesive Back embellishments.

I love an easy way to make a wreath. Wreaths are always so welcoming to me. This one is very quick and simple to do. The card contains products on the Last Chance List. And one that is carrying over.
Wreath
This fun snowflake wreath is created using the Wishes All Around Dies. There are a couple of different wreaths but this one caught my eye. It is a very simple wreath, which I love. The wreath itself is one single die that creates the circle of snowflakes. For an addition, I used a separate die to cut the extra snowflake that hangs to the center. And I was wonderfully surprised when it “attached” to the arms of the other snowflakes to hang perfectly. I really love that unexpected fit!
The wreath did not need any extras in my opinion. So all I added was a simple bow. The Simply Elegant Trim, which comes in a pack of gold and silver, was the immediate thought. This trim is so easy to work with and surprisingly does great small bows. To give it a little extra oomph, I did a double loop bow.
Papers
The star paper of the card is the Silver Glimmer Paper. Actually this is a pack of gold and silver glimmer paper. And better yet, it is adhesive backed. The name is simply Silver & Gold Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper. A mouth full for a beautiful paper. It saves the step of adding adhesive sheets prior to die cutting. And this adhesive backing peeled away very easily. I give this paper a definite 10 on the paper scale!
The card base and layer are both Basic White. I used Thick Basic White for the card base and then regular weight for the layer. With the layer raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals, it did not require the added thickness. I do love the White on White cards, I just rarely make them. LOL!!
Embellishments
There are no extra embellishments! Shocking I know. But, I did emboss the White layer. It is difficult to see in the photo, but I used the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder. Those snowflakes are great on their own, but were a perfect match tot he snowflake wreath. And this great folder is on the Carryover List. That is a good thing.
Last Chance and Carryover Lists
The card today used the Wishes All Around which is on the Last Chance List. I hope you will give this set a second look if it is not already on your list or in your collection. And the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder is on the Carryover List. So woohoo there! Although it could sell out as well.

I am going to be focusing cards on products that are retiring for the next little while. With the Last Chance lists out, we are all thinking of those items. This may give you additional ideas for your cards. And as usual, I have chosen to love most of the ones that are retiring!! LOL!! The lists are at the bottom of my post.
Stamps & Bundle
This card is made with the fabulous Joy of Noel Bundle. The stamps are ones that are timeless and classic. I love them! The greenery is from the Joy of Noel stamp set and is cut with the matching Dies. I added two additional sprigs of berries. They are all stamped using Basic Gray for a little softer look, and colored with Stampin’ Blends.
There is an additional stamp set used for the fun sentiment. It is the Merry & Bright stamp set. Personally, I have fallen in love with the cut apart letters. Having seen it done by others for quite a while, I was hesitant to try myself. Now I am hooked. For this card it takes down the elegant a bit to more of just a sweet card.
Papers and Embossing
The gorgeous DSP is what decided the green for this card. It is from the Traditions of St. Nick Designer SeriesPaper. This is one of the Online Exclusive papers and is still available. The two tones of green gave me Mossy Meadow and Old Olive for the coloring of leaves. Real Red for the card base was a given for the berries and ribbon.
The White layer is embossed using one of the pack of 3 Online Exclusives Embossing Folders. They are simply called Basics 3D Embossing Folders. And they are wonderful to have in your tool kit! This one is floral. I always thought of it as a summery type flower. But after using it, it could very easily be visioned as a poinsettia. Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think.
Finishes
The ribbon seemed perfect for the attaching the greenery. It is from the Real Red and Garden Green ribbon combo in the Annual Catalog. I love that it is very easy to work with. That is always a win. And the finishing touch is the Basic Rhinestones Jewels for a touch of bling.

The card I have to share today is with a set that caught my eye immediately. It is one of those from our childhood that just makes you smile. I hope you like my idea.
Bundle
Sorry: When I made this card and began the post, I did not realize the Rocking Horse Dies are sold out. However, you can make the card without the dies by fussy cutting the horse.
This fun Stamp and Die Bundle is the Rocking Horse Bundle. That rocky horse is such a great memory. Even if you never had one, the idea of it from old movies, just makes me Smile and feel loved. I used quite a lot of the images in the set. The rocky horse is stamped with Early espresso and then colored with Stampin’ Blends to match the card base colors. Then it is die cut using the matching Die.
The gifts are also included in the stamp set. They are in a stack with one die. I stamped them twice using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored them with Stampin’ Blends, and die cut one stack. The second stack was fussy cut. I wanted a lot of presents!! Some of them are a bit odd shaped when cut apart. So I used the other gifts and the horse to hide the partial shape. A stack of presents is a good thing!
The sentiment is also part of the stamp set. That sentiment is right there with the rocky horse in why I wanted the set. It is fun to just say the words. Actually the sentiment is one long sentiment. I wanted to present it in a more fun and bold way. So I cut the words apart and spread them across the card.
Papers
The lights are from the Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper. Actually the striped piece is as well. The lights were my first idea and then the stripes went along with the Fun part of the card. These lights remind me of the larger bulb lights on the trees growing up. So I new they needed to be prominent in the card. They cover an entire piece of the paper, but I only needed a few. It only took a couple minutes of fussy cutting to cut around this strand of lights. I did not try to be too perfect in my cutting.
The striped background paper is also from the Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper. This piece became the “wallpaper” of the Christmas room. It pairs great with the Christmas lights and I was sure to add little touches of Poppy Parade in the gifts and on the rocky horse.
The bright Granny Apple Green was pulled from the Christmas Lights and was a perfect Green for the Poppy Parade as the Red for this card. I love traditional, but sometimes you must stretch outside the box a bit. And to complete the card, I added a scattering of Rhinestones around the sentiment pieces and the horse.
