We all love punches, and this wine bottle was easy to make with the Vintage Bottle Punch. First, I stamped the bottle from the Bottled Happiness Stamp Set in Pool Party Ink, along with the label and “Wine Not” in Soft Succulent Ink. After winding some Linen Thread around the neck, secured with a Glue Dot, I placed the bottle on Dimensionals.
Wine on a tree ring
Next, I attached the bottle to a tree ring that I cut from Rings Of Love Designer Paper, one of the FREE Sale-a-bration items. This designer paper has been out-of-stock a short time, but will be back soon.
The Mossy Meadow branch was cut with a Harvest Die, and the leaves were cut with a Forever Flourishing Die from Soft Succulent Cardstock that I daubed with Mossy Meadow Ink.
The background is Basic White Cardstock, embossed with the Timber Embossing Folder, adding to the “woodsy” feel. This is one of the items that was added to Sale-a-bration for the month of August, free with a $50.00 qualifying order. You can see the complete list of additional Sale-a-bration items below.
After cutting with the second largest Deckled Rectangles Die, I glued it to Soft Succulent Cardstock, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die. Both layers were glued to a Mint Macaron card base, 8 1/2″ X 5/12″, folded at 4 1/4″, and my card was complete.
I was inspired by Fusion.

Are you ready to see some gorgeous red and green Christmas paper? The Boughs Of Holly Designer Paper offers rich, traditional colors for your Christmas cards. This design is “quick & easy” with the exception of fussy cutting the poinsettia. But, even that didn’t take long. You can see all of the patterns of paper by clicking on the picture in my Product List below.
Painted Texture Poinsettia
Next, I used the smallest Deckled Rectangles Die to cut three rectangles from Boughs Of Holly Designer Paper. Then, I used the largest Deckled Rectangles Die to cut Basic White Cardstock, and glued the three, smaller, rectangles in place.
Prior to gluing the layer to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I ran the entire piece through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Painted Texture Embossing Folder.
The sentiment, “Merry Christmas,” is from the Regal Reindeer Stamp Set, stamped in Evening Evergreen Ink on Basic White Cardstock. I used two cuts with the smallest Deckled Rectangles Die to create the smaller size. After gluing the tips of the poinsettia to the sentiment, I attached the flower and label with Dimensionals, and my “quick & easy” card was complete.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

I missed out on the Split Card Textures Dies the first time around, and they went out-of-stock. I jumped on it when they came back in, and couldn’t wait to make this card! The die worked perfectly on my 4″ X 5 1/4″ Basic White Cardstock, leaving a small border. You can turn the pattern in four directions, but I chose to have the pattern on the left side for today’s card.
Split Card Textures
Next, I backed the die-cut pattern with Balmy Blue, Awash In Beauty Designer Paper, cut 1/16″ smaller, so it wouldn’t show after gluing. This was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I put my Paper Snips to use, and cut a gorgeous bouquet from the Awash In Beauty Designer Paper.
Prior to gluing, I stamped the sentiment, “just because,” from the True Beauty Stamp Set. Don’t you love the font? This is the one suite from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog where I bought the whole shebang, which included the Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels, so I added a few pearls to complete my card.
I was inspired by the Paper Players, and chose the middle row across: die cut, blue, patterned paper.

I created today’s project ahead of time, in hopes that the Tree Lot Dies would still be available. Unfortunately, this was a popular Sale-a-bration item that has sold out, and you can see why, with this adorable camper!
“Glamping” across the miles
The good news is, the coordinating, Trees For Sale Stamp Set in the 2022 July-December Mini Catalog is still available. Plus, Stampin’ Up has added more Free products to the Sale-a-bration promotion! Please note: The Sale-a-bration Free item numbers differ from the catalog item numbers.
For those interested in instructions for today’s card, you can keep reading. Incidentally, the background was created with the Gingham Embossing Folder that is now one of the FREE Sale-a-bration items.
The Tree Lot Dies included three trees, “Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear.” I cut the solid trees from Granny Apple Green Cardstock, the “open” trees from Parakeet Party Cardstock, and glued them together.
“Glamping” across the miles
The camper was cut from Thick Basic White Cardstock, and the trim was cut from Tahitian Tide Cardstock. The trim is one die that, conveniently, cuts in two pieces. After gluing the camper pieces together, I glued a small piece of vellum to the back for windows, and placed it on Dimensionals.
For the background, I embossed Basic White Cardstock with the Gingham Embossing Folder, and layered it on In Color 6″ X 6″ Designer Paper in Tahitian Tide. The card base is Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
“Smiles across the miles” is from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set, stamped in Mango Melody Ink, cut with a Sending Die, and placed on Dimensionals. I added three In Color Matte Dots to accentuate the sentiment.

Can you believe it’s the first day of August? Sale-a-bration is continuing until the end of August, so be sure to take advantage of getting the freebies. You get to choose a FREE item with every $50 you order, and you can see all of the free items by clicking on the Sale-a-bration cover below.
Global Design Project is beginning the month with a sketch challenge, and I have the perfect Tailor Made Tags Dies. There are two styles in the set, and I made a frame from one of the larger tags by cutting the middle with a Stitched Rectangles Die. I used In Color 6″ X 6″ Designer Paper in Evening Evergreen, backed it with Soft Succulent Cardstock for sturdiness, and placed it on Dimensionals. A bow of Linen Thread was tied through the hole at the top.
Perched on a Tag
The star of the show is the darling bird from the Perched In A Tree Stamp Set. I stamped her in Early Espresso Ink On Basic White Cardstock, and used her Aspen Trees Die for cutting. The stamps and dies come in a bundle for a 10% savings, which you can see in my Product List below.
After cutting, she was easy to color with Light and Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. She is attached with Dimensionals, but her feet are glued.
The sentiment, “Let Heaven and nature sing,” is also from the Perched In A Tree Stamp Set, stamped in Evening Evergreen Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After stamping, I cut the sentiment by hand, and glued it on the tag.
The background is a beautiful, pinecone, pattern of Painted Christmas Designer Paper, cut with the second largest Stictched Rectangles Die. This is layered on Soft Succulent Cardstock, cut with the largest Stitched Rectangles Die. The card base is Evening Evergreen Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4/14.

There is a beautiful wreath in the Natural Prints Dies Set, just begging for some bright colors. If you aren’t attracted to blue, white, and gray, as it is shown in the catalog, you could have missed it.
Friendship Wreath
To begin, I used the brush side of five Stampin’ Blends to color across Basic White Cardstock, in this order: Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Fresh Freesia, and Polished Pink. I held the Stampin’ Blend sideways, so it wouldn’t damage the brush.
After cutting the wreath, I stamped the sentiment in Memento Black Ink, and used a Sending Die for cutting. “Thank you for your friendship” is from the Cup Of Tea Stamp Set, which I glued to the wreath, and placed on Mini Dimensionals.
The wreath “hanger” is from the Decorated Pines Die Set, cut from Basic Black Cardstock.
Just in case it wasn’t bright enough, LOL, I used Gingham Cottage Designer Paper, cut with the largest Stitched Rectangles Die. Don’t you love it? It’s a huge pack of paper; hence the higher price. You can check it out in my Product List below. The card base is Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
For some subtle sparkle, I added three Fine Sparkle Gems, hidden within matching colors.
