The Christmas Classics Dies are amazing, and I love the large label dies, surrounded by wreaths. For today’s sneak peek, I used the square wreath to cut One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″, glued to a Lost Lagoon card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
This designer paper is an online exclusive, available now. The Christmas Classics stamp set and dies will be available Sept. 6, along with all the new products in the holiday catalog.

Christmas Classics Peace
Next, I used the square, Christmas Classics Die to cut the center from the designer paper.

Prior to attaching the square with Dimensionals, “Peace on Earth,” was stamped in Early Espresso Ink. The sentiment is from the Christmas Classics Stamp Set. Don’t you love the font?

You’re going to love the Beary Christmas Designer Paper, a favorite from the 2023 Sept-Dec Mini Catalog. I fussy cut one of the cute bears for the focal point. There is also a punch to cut the bears. These products will be available September 6th.
The background is a sweater knit pattern of Beary Christmas DSP, 4 1/4″ X 4 1/4″, glued to a Mossy Meadow card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Beary Warm Christmas
Next, I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow Ink on Basic White Cardstock, 2″ X 3 3/8″. “Wishing you a wonderful season filled with all the good things that warm your heart and lift your spirit” is from the Regal Reindeer Stamp Set, a current set in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. I backed it with Real Red Cardstock, 2 1/8″ X 3 1/4″.

How do you like the cute, red bow? I used a Wanted To Say Die to cut it from Real Red cardstock, and glued it on top of the sentiment panel.

To complete the design, I added three, Iridescent Rhinestones, a favorite embellishment in the Annual Catalog.

I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

This is my first, 2023 Fall card, created with Season of Chic, a current set in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. When I saw the colors in a color challenge, it made me think of Fall leaves: Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Sweet Sorbet, and Blackberry Bliss. I’ll be sending this as a Thanksgiving card.

Leaf Fall
I began with a Blackberry Bliss card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with Basic White Cardstock, 4 ” X 5 1/4″, embossed with the Leaf Fall Embossing Folder.
This embossing folder isn’t in the catalog, because it’s an online exclusive. Clicking on its picture in my Product List below will take you there.
Prior to embossing, I stamped leaves from the Season of Chic Stamp Set, in Sweet Sorbet, Calypso Coral, and Daffodil Delight.

Next, I used Chic Dies to cut leaves in the same colors of cardstock, and glued them in place.

The sentiment, “you make each season of life even more beautiful,” is from the Season of Chic Stamp Set. I stamped it in Blackberry Bliss Ink, used a Christmas Classics Die (available Sept 6) for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.
For a little sparkle, I added three Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls.

I was inspired by The Paper Players.

The Joy Of Christmas Designer Paper is gorgeous, and it pairs perfectly with the Joy Of Noel Dies. For this “sneak peek,” I used the NOEL die to cut a checked pattern of the DSP. A piece of Foam Adhesive Sheet, 2 1/4″ X 2 1/4″, works well to give the word Dimension.

Joy of Noel
The Joy Of Christmas DSP along the bottom is 5 1/4″ X 1 1/2″, glued to Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″. Isn’t it pretty? This layer is glued to a Shaded Spruce card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Here’s a peek at the 12 patterns of paper, but they are more beautiful in person.

Prior to gluing, I embossed the Basic White layer with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder, a favorite that is in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.

I completed the card by cutting a Shaded Spruce Cardstock pine bough, and Real Red Cardstock berries, with Joy of Noel Dies.

I was inspired by TGIF.

“Water creatures” is the theme for this week’s Global Design Project. The stamp sets I chose have wonderful images, which led to #simplestamping, a technique using just stamps, ink, and paper. I love using dies, embellishments, embossing folders, and dimensionals, but sometimes I prefer super simple.
I began by stamping a wave from the Waves Of Inspiration Stamp Set, in Lost Lagoon Ink, on Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″. This layer was glued to a Lost Lagoon card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Next, I stamped, “so glad you’re in this world with me,” in Memento Black Ink. This sentiment is from the Scenic Wonders Stamp Set.
Below the sentiment is a school of fish, from the Beauty Of The Deep Stamp Set.

The fish were stamped in three colors of yellow ink: Crushed Curry, Lemon Lolly, and Daffodil Delight. The dots, also from the Beauty Of The Deep Stamp Set, were stamped in Lost Lagoon Ink.

I just received my holiday pre-order, and couldn’t wait to open the products, and get started! The first thing I did was fussy cut one of the Polar Bears from the Beary Christmas Designer Paper. Isn’t he adorable? This will be available September 6th, along with all the new products in the Sept-Dec Mini Catalog.

Beary Christmas!
Next, I experimented with several backgrounds, and chose Balmy Blue Cardstock, cut with a Christmas Classics Die. This die set is amazing, and it will be getting lots of use. After attaching the Polar bear to the die-cut with Dimensionals, I decided on a Basic White Cardstock layer, 4″ X 5 1/4″.

Prior to gluing the white layer to a Balmy Blue card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I embossed it with the new, Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder.

The sentiment, “Merry Christmas” is from Ringed With Nature, a current stamp set in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. I stamped it in Balmy Blue Ink, and used a Wonderful Thoughts Die for cutting.
To complete the card, I added four Pastel Self-Adhesive Sequins.
