I started with a Crumb Cake card base! Then I took a piece of Real Red cardstock measuring 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ and placed a piece of the Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper (4″ x 4″) on the lower portion. I stamped the greeting from the Cookie Cutter Christmas Stamp Set in Real Red Ink onto Whisper White cardstock (1-1/2″ x 4″). I attached the greeting to the top portion of the Real Red. Then I used some of the Candy Cane Lane Designer Washi Tape to place over the overlap of the greeting and designer paper. I just wrapped the ends around to the back side. Now you can add this piece to your card front. For the little gingerbread man, I stamped him in Chocolate Chip Ink onto Whisper White cardstock. Then I punched him out with the coordinating Cookie Cutter Builder Punch (Bundle & Save 10%). I also stamped the bow in Real Red and punched it out with the same punch. I added the bow to the gingerbread man with a Mini Glue Dot and I added the gingerbread man to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I finished off the card with a little heart to share a little more love in the card. I used the Real Red Enamel Shapes for the little heart! Love it!!!

I also wanted to share these adorable little things! Remember the September Paper Pumpkin Kit which came with these little test tubes?? I said I was saving those for a special project…..well this wasn’t the one in mind but I love it! I saw these on Pinterest and just had to make some myself. I filled the test tubes with some oats and some Metallic Sequins. Then I created the tags with the Cookie Cutter Christmas Stamp Set and coordinating Cookie Cutter Builder Punch (Bundle & Save 10%). I stamped the reindeer in Early Espresso Ink and added a Red GlimmerCircle to his nose! I used some of the Candy Cane Lane Baker’s Twine to tie it to the test tube! I just think they are adorable!!! Now I still have a few left for yet another project! 😉 What have you done with your test tubes? Let me know in the comments below!!!

Have an amazing day!!! I’m going to be working with my Mom on her Christmas Cards today and then enjoying a fabulous Thanksgiving Dinner!!!
I love how embossing folders can make a quick and fabulous card! The texture and image just have such a WOW factor and I love that! Besides cranking the Big Shot twice, this card is so simple. Just do all of the Big Shot work while watching your favorite show or a Christmas movie and you will be done in no time at all! Let me know in the comments what your favorite Christmas Movie is! I think mine is either Elf or National Lampoon Christmas Vacation!
For this card I started with a Cherry Cobbler card base. Then I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock (4″ x 5-1/4″) and ran it through the Big Shot with the Pine Bough Embossing Folder (on sale this week!). I stamped the greeting from the Merriest Wishes Stamp Set in the bottom right corner in Cherry Cobbler Ink. You can use any of your favorite greetings! Then I die cut the ornament from the Merry Tags Framelit Set (Bundle & Save 10% with the Merriest Wishes Stamp Set). There are a few other ornaments that you could use on your card as well to mix it up or to die cut more with each crank through the Big Shot. The Big Shot Die Brush is your best friend on popping the cardstock out of the framelit! I love that little tool! I tied some Cherry Cobbler Baker’s Twine around the top of the ornament and added it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. You know how I love those little things!!! Now you are all done! How simple was that?!?!?
Don’t forget to check out the Online Extravaganza going on this week! Lots of fabulous product on sale up to 40%!!!
Happy Tuesday!!! Are you ready for this amazing masterpiece??? I have to say this is probably THE MOST amazing, detailed, stunning card I have ever made in my 12+ years of stamping. Check it out!!!
There are just no words for this card. I honestly don’t think I am going to send it out. I’m going to save it and display it every year ever so proudly. I just love it so much!!! Now let’s get started on how to make it with the Santa’s Sleigh Bundle (Save 10%)!!!
I started with a Night of Navy card base measuring 11″ x 4-1/4″ and a strip of Whisper White measuring 11″ x 1″. Both of these are scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″ which creates the Z folds! For the panels, I cut Soft Sky cardstock into the following measurements – 4″ x 5-1/4″ and two pieces of 4″ x 2-1/2″. Then I cut Whisper White to layer on top measuring 3-3/4″ x 5″ and two pieces of 3-3/4″ x 2-1/4″. Go ahead and layer the white onto the Soft Sky and then onto the card base. You can stamp the greeting in the upper right corner. I used the one from the Santa’s Sleigh Stamp Set!
Now you can add the Whisper White strip to the bottom of the card. I lined it up with the bottom of the white on the panels. Be sure that you are only adding adhesive to the small flap and half of the long flap. I like to fold it all up and then add the adhesive to the spots showing (see video below). Place it on the card and then you can work on all of the decorations. I added the trees first. I stamped 2 blue trees using the Santa’s Sleigh Stamp Set and die cut them out with the Santa’s Sleigh Framelits (Bundle & Save 10%). I also cut out a tree in Silver Foil Paper! I added two trees to the large panel and one to the middle small panel. Next up are the reindeer. I stamped all of them in Chocolate Chip Ink onto Crumb Cake cardstock. You will need 6 reindeer. I die cut them out. I also die cut the sleigh in Night of Navy, the sleigh overlay in Silver Glimmer Paper, 12 stars in Silver Glimmer Paper (one for each reindeer and a few others to decorate, and a few bows for the presents in Silver Glimmer Paper!
Now to assemble the second Z with the Whisper White strip! All you need to do is take a strip of white scored cardstock and add it to your card opposite folds as the base. Fold it like a Z and the long panel will go across the front (sticking to the left side) and the short panel will adhere to the back right hand side. I used Fast Fuse Adhesive for a strong hold and placed it on the bottom lined up with the bottom of the white panel. I added 2 reindeer to each of the little panels of the white Z fold overlapping them just a little. Be sure that when you add adhesive to the reindeer that you are only adding it on the legs so that adhesive isn’t showing and then glues your card together.
Before placing the last reindeer on, I added the sleigh to the card. I placed the Silver Glimmer overlap onto the navy sleigh with Fine Tip Glue Pen and then added it to the far left of the card. I did trim off a little bit of the sleigh on the bottom rung. Once the sleigh is in place, you can add that final reindeer. Now is also when you will add all of your presents. I stamped the 3 different styles of presents from the Santa’s Sleigh Stamp Set onto Night of Navy and Soft Sky cardstock and cut them out. They are super easy to cut since they are rectangles! Place as many presents as you wish in the sleigh. Then I added the ribbons and all of the Silver Glimmer stars to the card with the Fine Tip Glue Pen. For the reins, I added some of the glue from the Fine Tip Glue Pen to the first reindeer, placed the Whisper White Baker’s Twine down and then added a star. Press and hold for a few seconds and then move to the next one. You could also use a Mini Glue Dot for this part if you wish. Be sure to leave some slack between each reindeer so it doesn’t pull tight when you open the card and so it swags just a bit. I glued the end of the reins under the front of the sleigh at the end. Now you are all set! The most amazing card ever! Yes it is a bit time consuming but it is just so stunning!!! I can’t wait to display mine…..I don’t think I can part with it and send it out.
If you would like to see that all in action, check out my Video Tutorial below or click here! Don’t forget to give it a thumbs up if you liked it and be sure to subscribe if you are new!!!
Happy Stampin’

Happy Monday everyone!!! I just wanted to give a big Thank You to all of those that participated in the Big Shot Giveaway that I had. I drew the name of the winner on Friday and it was…….drum roll………Gloria C. I’m so excited for her and wish I could have given you all a Big Shot! I had a lot of fun with this so stay tuned as I’m thinking I will do more fun giveaways like these. I’m thinking maybe an entire color family of ink pads (10 pads) next time…what do you think? Let me know in the comments below what you would like!!!
Well Fall/Winter has officially set in here in Illinois. We had one day last week where it was almost 80 degrees and I was in love!!! It felt like Spring again…..and then I got bit by a mosquito and decided FINE bring on Fall! Then 5 hours later, it was!!! Brrr. It’s cold out, the leaves are blowing and I’m ready for Thanksgiving! Can’t believe that’s next week! I’m so excited! I LOVE Thanksgiving!!! Today I’m going to skip Thanksgiving and help you get ready for the next holiday as this card is one in my Cut For Christmas offer! I do all of the cutting, provide instructions, and a color photo and all you have to do is stamp and assemble!!! Quick and easy!
I started with a Crumb Cake card base. Then I adhered four strips of Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper measuring 1″ x 2-3/4″ onto a piece of Real Red cardstock (4-1/2″ x 3-1/4″). The fun thing about this is that the Designer Series Paper is 2-sided so you have endless options on your strips. You can work with 2 prints or 4 prints in any combination! You also don’t have to worry about using up only certain styles in your Designer Series Paper Pack. Love it!!! Then I wrapped some Candy Cane Lane Baker’s Twine around the Real Red rectangle. You can do this in the middle and tie a bow or in an “X” pattern like mine. I actually put the knot on the back side because I didn’t want it to show. Then I added this piece to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used those because I love them so much and so the cardstock lays flat and isn’t bumpy over the Baker’s Twine. For the greeting, I stamped the snowflake from the Tin of Tags Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped off once before stamping on the Whisper White for a lighter look so that the greeting still pops! Then I stamped the greeting from the Tin of Tags in Real Red Ink over the top of the snowflake. I die cut out the scallop circle with the Layering Circles Framelits. I love these things because they layer so well and add the perfect took to any project!!! I die cut out a smooth circle in Early Espresso and layered the two together. I added the greeting to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Again, I used Stampin’ Dimensionals because I love them so much and so that it looks smooth over the Baker’s Twine.
I love this card for the amazing greeting and cheerful look! I got the idea for this card from fellow stamper, Ann Veneziano that I did a card swap with!!! I love sharing ideas with other stampers!! It’s so much fun!
Don’t forget about the Online Extravaganza that started today!!! Fabulous Door Busters today and next Monday! Also, the Tin of Tags Stamp Set I used on this card is on sale this month too! I love that set for greetings!!

What do you think about a Christmas Card with Sweet Sugarplum??? I kind of like it! It is different but it still is super elegant and fun! It is also super easy with the Fancy Frost Designer Series Paper because I didn’t have to run this through the Big Shot, I just cut it and adhered it on!!! Love it!!!
I started with a Sweet Sugarplum card base. Then I took a piece of Fancy Frost Designer Series Paper (4″ x 5-1/4″) and adhered a piece of the Sweet Sugarplum Glitter Ribbon down the center. Just wrap the ends to the back side and attach it to the card front! I love this ribbon because it is so glitzy and shiny but it is really easy to use and tie into bows. For the greeting, I stamped it from the Star of Light Stamp Set in Sweet Sugarplum Ink onto Whisper White. Then I die cut out the greeting with the Layering Ovals Framelits. I picked out the scallop oval that was just a smidge larger and die cut that out in Sweet Sugarplum so I could layer. I am telling you…..why did I wait so long to get these circles and ovals??? These are amazing! I just think it looks so fabulous to have these perfectly layering greetings with that little scallop. It’s just so eye-catching and fabulous!!! After layering the greetings, I adhered them to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals! I like to use those when layering over ribbon so that it looks smooth and flat rather than lumpy over the ribbon. Plus I just LOVE Stampin’ Dimensionals! To finish it off, I tied a little bow with some more of the Sweet Sugarplum Glitter Ribbon and attached it to the card with Mini Glue Dots! All done and looking fabulous!!!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Also, don’t forget I will be doing a Facebook Live video at 1 p.m. Central Time for the winner of the Big Shot Giveaway! Click here to join the group!
Happy Thursday!!! We are almost to the weekend and I’m sharing a fabulous card with you today that I thought wasn’t going to finished. Once I did finish it, it turned into this amazing card that I thought “WOW, I love that and think I will use it in a class!” Do you ever have one of those moments while crafting that something doesn’t turn out like you wanted or you get started but then take it a different direction and toss what you were doing aside? That is what happened here. I die cut the gold ornament and had some other designer paper ready but didn’t like the look. I tossed it aside but at the end of the day, I thought just finish this card and use it personally…..and then this happened! I LOVE IT!!!
I started with a Whisper White card base measuring 4-1/4″ x 11″. Then I took a piece of Cherry Cobbler (4″ x 5-1/4″) and layered some of the Presents and Pinecones Designer Series Paper (3-3/4″ x 5″) on top. This wasn’t my favorite paper at first glance but I have been using it a lot this season. You can see more samples using it here and here! I die cut the ornament out with the Merry Tags Framelits in Gold Foil Paper. You should totally go for it and get the Merriest Wishes Stamp Set so you can Bundle & Save 10%. I have loved using this stamp set and you can always use one of the greeting on the inside of this card! After die cutting out the ornament, I placed an Emerald Envy Circle on the back that I punched out with the 1-3/4″ Circle Punch. Then I slide a piece of the Emerald Envy Silky Taffeta Ribbon through the ornament top and placed a Stampin’ Dimensional on the back to hold the end of the ribbon and to adhere to the card front. Add a few more dimensionals and then place the ornament on the card with the other end of the ribbon going over the top of the Cherry Cobbler and secured to the back. Once the ribbon is secured, you can add this to your card base. To finish it off, I tied a bow with some more of the Emerald Envy Silky Taffeta Ribbon and secured it to the top of the ornament with some Mini Glue Dots! Now you are all done! You can add a greeting of your choice to the inside if you wish! I just love the colors and that gold shine and silky ribbon!

This card looks just like Christmas morning! Coming down the stairs and peaking into the living room to see the tree all lit up and all the presents underneth the tree! It’s just so magical!!! I’m loving the Santa’s Sleigh Bundle (Save 10%) which is how I created this card!
For this card, I started with a Real Red card base. Then I took a piece of Whisper White measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″ and I stamped the tree from the Santa’s Sleigh Stamp Set in Garden Green Ink and the 3 different styles of presents in Real Red Ink. Then I stamped the bows onto a scrap piece of Whisper White and then die cut them out with the Santa’s Sleigh Framelits. I die cut a star from the same Framelit set in Crushed Curry paper. I added the star and bows to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals to give a little texture to the scene! Since these are so small, this is where you will want to cut the outside edge of the dimensionals into small pieces. I wanted a little bit more of a fancy greeting than those that are in the Santa’s Sleigh Stamp Set so I pulled out the Hang Your Stocking Stamp Set. I stamped the greeting in Basic Black. I wrapped some Basic Black Baker’s Twine around the top and tied it into a bow and then added it onto the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. When I have ribbon around the cardstock then I like to adhere it with dimensionals because then it looks smooth and not lumpy! And there is your Christmas morning….just like that!!!!
You can check out some of there samples using the Santa’s Sleigh Bundle right here and stay tuned for another super amazing one I will be posting soon! The one coming soon is THE best….most detailed……AMAZING card I have made in my 12+ years stamping! Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out!
Happy Stampin’
