I love hearts, and no matter what paper you use, they look beautiful. For today’s heart I used one of the Hearts Of Elegance Dies with Flowering Zinnias Designer Paper. You can see the entire, Online Exclusive, bundle in my Product List below. The detailed edge of this heart is wonderful!
Torn Paper Heart
Have you tried “paper tearing” for a different look? The heart began with four torn pieces of designer paper glued to Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″. Then, I used the Hearts Of Elegance Die for cutting.
For the background, I used the So Swirly Embossing Folder on Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″, which I glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The sentiment is from the Hearts Of Elegance Stamp Set. For contrast, I stamped “xoxo” in VersaMark on Basic Black Cardstock, and sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder. After setting it with the Heat Tool, I used a Stylish Shapes Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. Three Shiny Sequins were added as a finishing touch.
It was so much fun tearing the paper, this could become a favorite technique!
TGIF was my inspiration. Click here to see many clever ways to use the “torn paper” technique.

Where did I get this wonderful reindeer? I punched him out from the Joyful Images Ephemera Pack. You can see all of the images by clicking on the picture in my Product List below. The reindeer is standing on Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, in front of a wreath. The wreath was cut with an Encircled In Nature Die, and I used the same die a second time to cut Mossy Meadow Cardstock. Then, I backed the white cardstock with Iconic Celebrations Designer Paper in a tree pattern. After gluing both to a Mossy Meadow card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I glued the Mossy Meadow wreath in place.
Joyful Reindeer
A bow from the Joyful Images Ephemera Pack was glued to the top of the wreath, and the reindeer was attached with Dimensionals. I colored his jingle bells with a Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend. A slightly different deer, from the pack, is in the picture.
“Season’s” Greetings” is from the Greetings Of The Season Stamp Set, stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink.

Stampin’ Up! has a new product, Tags For The Season Mix & Match Specialty Ephemera Pack. There was a fantastic tree I HAD to use on a card front!
Christmas tree tag
For the background, I embossed Soft Sea Foam Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder. After embossing, I glued the layer to a Garden Green card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Before attaching the tag, with Dimensionals, I stamped “Merry Christmas” in Real Red Ink. This sentiment is from the Humble Home Stamp Set, and fit the space perfectly. Then, I tied a bow of Natural Tones Linen Thread, and used a Glue Dot to place it in the tag hole. To complete the card, I added three Metallic Gems to highlight the gold on the tree. You can see in the first photo, the envelope flap was decorated with Take A Bow Designer Paper.

For today’s Global Design Project, I had fun CASEing Cindy Timmer’s gorgeous card. I love her metallic leaves, with a touch of blue, against the white background.
I used the same colors, with the Sophisticated Sled Bundle, for CASE the designer. I began by using the two sled dies to cut Country Woods Designer Paper and Textured Metallic Specialty Paper.
Good Tidings
I glued the sled to Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, that was embossed with the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder. This layer was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Prior to gluing the sled, I glued the half wreath, cut from Basic White Cardstock and Textured Metallic Specialty Paper.
Next, I cut the ice skates from Basic White Cardstock, and the blades and shoelaces from Textured Metallic Specialty Paper. After gluing the pieces together, I attached them to the sled with Mini Dimensionals.
I stamped “Good Tidings” in Versamark, sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder, and used the Heat Tool for setting. Then, I used a Happy Little Things Die to cut the sentiment, and attached it with Mini Dimensionals. To complete the card, I added three Metallic Gems. This photo shows off the shine!

November’s assignment for the 2024 Artisan Design Team was to create projects using the Happy Hibiscus Bundle, one of the new additions to Online Exclusives. You’ll find the supplies in my Product List below, as well as the link to Online Exclusives.
Happy Hibiscus Artisan Project
For the first card, I chose a Petal Pink card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I used the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder with Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″. After running it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine, I colored it with a Large Blending Brush and Flirty Flamingo Ink. Next, I used a Small Blending Brush and Petal Pink Ink to add highlights to the flowers.
The sentiment, “You make me smile,” is from the Happy Hibiscus Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Happy Hibiscus Die for cutting. Before attaching it with Dimensionals, I colored it with a Blending Brush and Flirty Flamingo Ink. The three flowers were cut from Flirty Flamingo and Petal Pink Cardstock with Happy Hibiscus Dies, and glued in place. The flower centers are Resin Dots.
The second card features a large hibiscus flower, cut with a Happy Hibiscus Die from Basic White Cardstock, and embossed with the Happy Hibiscus “Hybrid” Embossing Folder. I used the same colors, with a Blending Brush, as the first card, and placed it on Dimensionals. Then, I used another Happy Hibiscus Die to cut three leaves from Basic White Cardstock. After cutting, I colored the leaves with a Blending Brush and Old Olive Ink, and glued them in place.
The background was created with a Happy Hibiscus Die, which I used to cut four circles. One was stamped with the sentiment from the stamp set, “Thanks for being so kind.” Before gluing the circles to Basic White Cardstock, 3 5/8″ X 4 7/8″, I used a Happy Hibiscus stamp with Memento Black Ink in four places. This layer was backed with Flirty Flamingo Cardstock, 3 3/4″ X 5″, giving it a 1/16″ border. The card base is Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2 X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Stampin’ Fancy Friday Sketch Challenge
This month is a sketch challenge.
Using a card sketch is one of my favorite ways to boost my creative mojo. Looking at the sketch, I used Full Of Life Designer Paper to cut two pieces with Paper Snips and two with Everyday Details Dies.
Then, I glued the two “paper snipped” pieces to Basic White Cardstock, embossed it with the Dotted Circles Embossing Folder, and glued it to a Granny Apple Green card base.
“Hi” is from the Friends For Life Stamp Set. The “die-cut” pieces were attached with Dimensionals, and as a finishing touch, I added three Shiny Sequins.
