With Christmas around the corner, I created a card you can make in a short period of time, if you have the supplies in my Product List below.
Winter Meadow Designer Paper is gorgeous, and today I combined it with four different die sets, and no ink. First, I used the largest Radiating Stitches Die to cut a tree pattern of Winter Meadow DSP. This was glued to a Pretty Peacock card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Winter Meadow Noel
Next, I used the second largest Radiating Stitches Die to cut a textured pattern of Winter Meadow DSP.
Here’s the secret: before gluing the layer in the center of the card front, I used Joy Of Noel Dies to cut “NOEL.” This allowed me to place the letters, cut from More Dazzle Specialty Paper, in the die-cut holes, straight and even.
To add some detail, I used a Forever Forest Die to cut three small trees from Winter Meadow DSP. After backing the trees with cardstock for thickness, I glued them in place.
I also cut a bow, using a Country Wreaths Die, and attached it in the corner.
I couldn’t resist making two more cards, using the same supplies!

Product List
Bee Mine Designer Paper has adorable bees that can be fussy cut, and that’s how today’s card began. After freeing the bees from the designer paper, I cut Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Then, I added three strips of Tear& Tape, spaced as you see.
The tape is the same width as the red Bordered Ribbon, that comes in the Bee Mine Suite, making it nice to attach the ribbon on top of the tape. Once the ribbon was in place, I snipped the excess from the ends, and glued the layer to a Daffodil Delight card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Made with Love
Next, I stamped “Made with Love,” from the Celebrate With Tags Stamp Set, in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After stamping, I fussy cut the words, and glued them to the red ribbon, along with the bees.
The final step was embellishing with three, Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers, also in the Bee Mine Suite.
The Bee Mine Suite is in the new January-April 2024 Mini Catalog, available for Demonstrators to order in December, and customers in January. Plus, the suite will be featured at OnStage@Home on November 11th!
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

Welcome to November! The All About Autumn Designer Paper has been in and out of stock more than any Stampin’ Up! item, since I’ve been a Demonstrator. I finally got my hands on some, and, yes, it is gorgeous! Today, I’m showing off two of the patterns on a “Double Z Fun Fold Card.”
First, I cut a piece of 8 1/2″ X 11″ Early Espresso Cardstock in half, 4 1/4″ X 11″, and scored it at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″. You can use the other half to make a second card.
The two smaller panels were decorated with All About Autumn DSP, 2 5/8″ X 4 1/8″. I cut a second piece of a different landscape for the larger panel, 5 3/8″ X 4 1/8″.
All About Autumn
After gluing the panels, I cut a band for the bottom from Early Espresso Cardstock, 11″ X 1 1/4,” scored at 5 1/2″ and 2 3/4″. The band was decorated with three strips of All About Autumn DSP, which I had cut from the panel pieces. The long strip is 5 3/8″ X 1 1/8″, and the two shorter strips are 2 5/8″ X 1 1/8″.
The branch was cut with a Meadow Die, also from All About Autumn DSP. I backed it with two layers of Early Espresso Cardstock, for sturdiness, before gluing it in place. I made sure not to put glue on the end that hangs over the edge.
The trickiest part of the Double-Z Fun Fold is fastening the band. It seems odd, but the long section of the band is glued to the short front section. I find it easiest to apply glue to the folded band, because this exposes only the part that should have glue. Then, fold the card while adhering the band in place. I suggest having a “dry” run before applying glue.
“Sunshine to brighten your day,” and “comfort & strength,” are from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set. I stamped the sentiments in VersaMark on Early Espresso Cardstock, and sprinkled with White Embossing Powder. After setting with a Heat Tool, I used Sending Dies for cutting, and attached them with Mini Dimensionals.
For some sparkle, I added a few Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins.
This Double Z Fun Fold card fits nicely inside our Medium Envelopes, and Basic White Cardstock can be glued to the back for a personal message.
I was inspired by The Paper Players, and chose the middle row across: patterned paper, die-cut, sequin/enamel dots. Plus, I used brown and fall items.

Happy Falloween! My Halloween cards have been mailed, so today you get pretty Fall leaves. I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with Basic White Cardstock, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die.
“Falloween”
Prior to attaching the layer with Dimensionals, I embossed it with the Leaf Fall Embossing Folder.
Next, the leaves were cut with one die (solid) from the Aspen Trees Die Set, and three dies (open) from the Chic Die Set. I used red and golden portions of Masterfully Made Designer Paper to give the leaves a variety of color and texture. Then, I glued the “open” leaves along the diagonal line, created with the embossing folder, and attached the “solid” leaves with Dimensionals.
“Thank you” is from the Inked & Tiled Stamp Set, stamped in Pecan Pie Ink.
The final step was attaching the layer to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, with Dimensionals.
I was inspired by TGIF.

Today’s card is a sneak peek of a new Online Exclusive that you’ll be able to order November 7th.
The Fluffiest Friends Stamp Set is bundled with 21 Dies, which makes us all very happy!
Bruce the Beaver
Bruce the Beaver was especially happy, because he was the perfect “round” shape for this week’s Global Design Project. Be inspired by our designers use of this sketch. Then, create a card of your own, and hang it in our gallery.
I began by stamping Bruce in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used his Fluffiest Friends Die for cutting. Then, he asked to be colored with Stampin’ Blends in two shades of brown: Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie. Plus, he made sure I colored his heart made of sticks.
Next, Bruce said I needed to add pretty vertical lines, and we agreed that an Irresistible Blooms Die would be just right. I did this by adhering a Mossy Meadow pattern of One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Paper, 1 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, to an equal size of Adhesive Sheet. Then, placing the die on top of the designer paper, I rolled it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
After cutting, I peeled away the backing, and attached the die-cut to the middle of Basic White Cardstock, 3 5/8″ X 4 7/8″. This layer was glued to Mossy Meadow Cardstock, 3 3/4″ X 5″, which was glued to a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The sentiment, “hi friend,” is from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set, cut with its die. Bruce wanted to say this, because he wants to be friends with everyone. He’s so cute; I don’t think that will be too difficult for him, do you?
That’s when I thought the card was complete, but Bruce said it was Fall, and he needed colorful leaves. He said the leaves could be easily cut with Fluffiest Friends Dies from scraps of designer paper (One Horse Open Sleigh and Masterfully Made). Then, he grabbed the Artistically Inked Stamped Set, and stamped dots in Mossy Meadow Ink. I stuck Bruce to the card front before he got anymore ideas!

Meandering Meadows is a new designer paper, available November 7th in Online Exclusives. It was hard to choose which of the gorgeous landscapes to use on today’s sneak peek. I decided on the one you see, on my Double Z Fun Fold card.
First, I cut a piece of 8 1/2″ X 11″ Balmy Blue Cardstock in half, 4 1/4″ X 11″, and scored it at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″. You can use the other half to make a second card.
The two smaller panels were decorated with Meandering Meadows DSP, 2 5/8″ X 4 1/8″. I cut a second piece of the same landscape for the larger panel, 5 3/8″ X 4 1/8″.
Meandering Meadows Fun Fold
After gluing the panels, I cut a band for the bottom from Balmy Blue Cardstock, 11″ X 1 1/4,” scored at 5 1/2″ and 2 3/4″. The band was decorated with three strips of Meandering Meadow DSP, which I had cut from the panel pieces. The long strip is 5 3/8″ X 1 1/8″, and the two shorter strips are 2 5/8″ X 1 1/8″.
See the cute fence? This beautiful designer paper coordinates with the Garden Meadow Bundle (stamp set and dies), also available November 7th. I cut the fence from Balmy Blue Cardstock, and glued the bottom edge to the band, as shown.
The trickiest part of the Double-Z Fun Fold is fastening the band. It seems odd, but the long section of the band is glued to the short front section. I find it easiest to apply glue to the folded band, because this exposes only the part that should have glue. Then, fold the card while adhering the band in place. I suggest having a “dry” run before applying glue.
“You’re wonderful. You’re loved. You matter.” and “you can do amazing things,” are from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set. I stamped the sentiments in Night Of Navy Ink on Basic White Cardstock, used Wonderful Thoughts Dies for cutting, and glued them in place.
This Double Z Fun Fold card fits nicely inside our Medium Envelopes.
