Today’s card focuses on some of the Specialty Paper. It is the Snowflake Magic Specialty Designer Series paper. I have used all three sheets of it to create this fun card.
Papers
These sheets from the Snowflake Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper are gorgeous. I have used all three of the sheets in the pack. There are two pieces of each sheet in the package. The layer is one of the pieces. And the ornament is made using the other two. I think the white with silver piece makes the ornament look like one of the old mercury glass, or at least a well loved ornament that might have faded a bit.
Dies and Stamps
The ornament is created using the Handcrafted Elements Die set. It is a stand alone die set that may have been overlooked in the Mini Catalog. It is on page 21 in the upper right corner. There are a few different dies. But his ornament is my favorite. It is made using two die pieces. The outer shell and then the center piece. I used two of the different DSP papers to create my ornament.
The second Die set used is to give my ornament somewhere to hang from. It is the Joy of Noel. The little sprig of pine was just enough to hang the ornament. And the matching stamp set is where the “Joyous” is from. To keep the ornament as the star, I stamped the Joyous on Pool Party card stock and used Lost Lagoon Ink. Even though I wanted it not as prominent it still needed some sparkle. To give the sentiment some shine, I went over it with the Wink of Stella pen. In person you can definitely see the sparkle.
Finishes
The sparkle did not stop with the Wink of Stella. I had to add some bling. There are a few Iridescent Pearls scattered around. They are hard to see because of the snow flakes in the photo. But they are there. You can see the two placed in the center of the ornament.
The last touch is the gorgeous Pool Party Ribbon. My ornament needed to have a hanger. The Pool Party and Lost Lagoon work so well together that I decided the ribbon would be perfect. It is the Pool Party Grosgrain Ribbon.
Thank you for stopping by today!! Don’t forget to begin your list for the sale!

The card I have to share with you today is one that appears to be created by torn paper. In fact that is the case. Except the paper is produced from the talents of Stampin’ Up!s creative artists who did actually tear paper. I love the look it gives.
Papers
The card layers to this card are mostly from the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper. One of the Stampin’ Up! artists created this paper. She is obviously very talented. It is one of my favorites. And to prove that I used three different patterns from the pack.
The card base is Pretty Peacock to match the leaves of the flowers. Then the Basic White layer to help the colors pop. And the Berry Burst is a beautiful color with the white mixed in from the pattern. I added the Lemon Lime Twist for a brightness and to help the flowers really stand out. Finally the flowers are cut from the Berry Burst piece with the leaves from a third sheet of the paper.
Dies and Stamps
The flowers and leaves are cut using the Timeless Charm Dies. (I also used the stamps for the inside sentiment) I love these flowers and leaves. And with the different shades of green from the paper, it really helps them to pop! NOTE: I apologize. This card was made a little while ago and now the dies have sold out. It was/is an Online Exclusive. The stamp set is still available but not the dies. However there are several floral dies that would work just as well. Sorry!!
The sentiment is simple but one I use regularly. This Happy Birthday is the perfect size for the front of a card. It is from the Go To Greetings set. There are a few sentiments in different sizes. I really love that. And to finish the card I added three of the Iridescent Discs. These are great because they are flat. So no added bulk in the envelope when mailing.
Thank you for stopping in today!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Today’s card is a partner to yesterday’s card. They use the same paper and stamp set. However this one is using Deckled Circles for the layers. I love showing the versatility of our products. And this card shows not only the stamp set but the Designer Series Paper as well.
Yesterday’s card used the same Stamp Set, DSP, just different colors and different sentiment. However it used Deckled Rectangles, where this card is Deckled Circles. Both of these are Go To’s in my Die collection. If you want to check yesterday’s card, Click Here.
Dies
The Deckled Circles Dies are a great set of circles. There are 14 circles in the set. With the largest being a 5 3/4″ circle. So these would be wonderful for Scrapbooking as well as card making. You can see them in my online store, or on page 63 of the Mini Catalog. They are sort of hidden on the corner of the page.
Stamps
This card began just as yesterday’s card with the Stamped With Love envelope. It is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. The fountain pen is colored with Mossy Meadow, Real Red, and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. Smoky Slate was used for the “silver” of the fountain pen part. I love that this stamp set is so flexible!
The sentiment used today is from the Sending Cheer stamp set. It is the one with the fun gingerbread man and santa’s hat in the Mini Catalog. I really love the boldness of the message and the font that is used. Stamping with Real Red really makes it pop! And of course the red heart for the postage stamp.
Papers
The colors for today are only one different from yesterday. The card is Mossy Meadow with a Real Red layer. And a Circle layer of Real Red as well. I even placed the focal point in the same place as yesterday. This was done to show off as much of the DSP as possible.
The DSP is from the same sheet of the Traditions of St. Nick Designer Series Paper. This is an online exclusive paper. But it is great for today’s Christmas card, as well as yesterday’s Think of you card. All it took was a bit of a color and sentiment change. The finishing touch is a trio of the green tinted Blooming Pearls.

Today’s card mixes Christmas DSP with the Stamped With Love set from the Annual Catalog. They may not have been designed together, but I believe they are a perfect fit.
Papers
The beginning to most of my cards is the DSP. This one was no exception. The retro looking mailboxes are a reverse side of one of the sheets from the Traditions of St. Nick Designer Series Paper. It is an Online Exclusive that is really nice paper with lots of Old World looking ST. Nick’s on it. As soon as I saw the paper, I knew it needed to be paired with the Stamped With Love set from the Annual Catalog.
The DSP piece is a muted Mossy Meadow color. I used Mossy Meadow for the narrow border layer. But went with Wild Wheat for a richer look. Actually, the idea for the Wild Wheat came in coloring the fountain pen. I wanted to make the writing tip either gold or silver. The Wild Wheat fit the bill for gold.
Stamps
There are two stamp sets used for this card. The first is the Stamped With Love. But it does not have a sentiment on the envelope. So I went with the beautifully written Thinking of You from the Very Best Occasions stamp set.
The fountain pen and the heart inside the stamp are both colored using Stampin’ Blends. Real Red for the heart and Mossy Meadow and Wild Wheat for the fountain pen.
Dies
To create the focal layers, I used the Deckled Rectangles Dies. These come in several sizes and are a great to have in your tool chest. To fit the size I needed, I ended up using the same size for the focal layer and the background layer. With them being offset it is a perfect fit. To finish the card, I added a single green pearl from the Blooming Pearls embellishments.
Layers
The layers of the card are 4 1/4 X 11 scored at 5 1/2. The Mossy Meadow is 4 7/8 X 3 5/8. And the DSP is cut to 4 3/4 X 3 1/2.

The card I am sharing today is a multi-fold that showcases some of the beautiful Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper. It is paired with the Cheers To The Season set.
The Folds
The front of the card looks fairly plain. And ended up a tad brighter than I originally planned. But it gets better with the other folds!
Now you can see the gorgeous Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper! It will be available for you to order soon!
Papers
This fold is one that came about as I was making it. And I failed to write down all of the measurements. The card base is 8 1/2 X 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4, and then 2″ cut off the front. The inside “card. was cut to fit after I added the Crushed Curry back and front layers. It is intended to look like an additional layer. (Check the first photo). So take that measurement and make it twice as wide to fold over. Sorry about not writing things down!
The papers, besides the DSP, were pulled from the DSP. I used Cherry Cobbler for the base and then Crushed Curry layers. The front disguises the pretty inside of the card. My goal was for the opening to be a bit of an unexpected surprise. I cut the DSP to continue the scene across the layers.
Stamps and Dies
There are a variety of stamp sets used on this card. The front panel is cut with the Scalloped Contours Dies to highlight the Cheers wine glass. That stamp is from the Cheers To The Season set. It is a favorite for it’s solid images for Thanksgiving/Fall, Christmas, and this wine glass for New Year or any time.
The front For You tag is from the Country Bouquet stamp set. I needed something small for a tag and this one worked perfectly. It is punched using the Best Label Punch. The little corner cuts are a great touch on a small tag. And the background is a scrap of the DSP.
The inside sentiment is from the Something Fancy stamp set. I love the mix of fonts as well as the fun sentiment. Being late on cards is a special talent of mine! LOL!!
Finishes
The finishes on this card are pretty simple. The ribbon for the tag is the Sweet Sorbet Woven Metallic Ribbon. This is last year’s In Colors and I used these ribbons regularly. They are very easy to tie a bow with and give just enough sparkle to a card. The other finishes is some additional Bling! I used the Iridescent Pearls and colored two of the three with the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.
