I’m so excited to share with you my newly discovered, favorite, stamp set, Delivering Cheer. It’s from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog, and today’s card will be for Thanksgiving, but this darling, girl can “deliver cheer” for all occasions.
“to you and yours”
The little girl was stamped in two pieces, which you’ll notice by looking at the stamp set in my Product List below. The stamps are photopolymer, so you can see through them for placement. I stamped her in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, using my Stamparatus for added ease of placement.
Then, I used Stampin’ Blends for coloring: Soft Sea Foam, Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green, and Daffodil Delight.
After coloring, I used the third largest, Stitched Rectangles Die for cutting, the one that’s approximately 3″ X 4 1/4″. Next, I glued this to a layer of Harvest Meadow Designer Paper, cut with the largest, Scalloped Contours Die. These layers were glued to a Misty Moonlight card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Last, but not least, the sentiment from the Heartfelt Wishes Stamp Set. I stamped “to you and yours” in Memento Black Ink on Thick Basic White Cardstock, and used an Ornate Frames Die for cutting.
Oh, I can’t forget to mention her leggings. Aren’t they the cutest? I stamped those in Misty Moonlight Ink; a perfect fit!

The Scalloped Contours Dies are a favorite, but the Color & Contour Stamp Set shouldn’t be overlooked. For today’s card, I’m using the “bundle,” and you can see all of my supplies in the Product List below.
Color & Contour
I began by stenciling Pool Party dots on Very Vanilla Cardstock, 4 1/4″ X 5 /12″. This was done by placing one of the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks on top of the cardstock, and using a Sponge Dauber to apply the ink. It’s so easy, with great results, every beginner should give it a try.
The ink was applied on a diagonal, leaving empty space in the upper right, and lower left, corners.
After stenciling, I used the largest Scalloped Contours Die to cut the cardstock to size. Then, placing it on my Stamparatus, I stamped the bouquet, single leaf, and sentiment in Pool Party Ink. All of these fun stamps are in the Color & Contour Stamp Set.
Next, I stamped two flowers; one in Pale Papaya Ink, and one in Pool Party Ink, and used the die for cutting. This was the most difficult part, requiring some twirling of the die to match the stamped flowers.
After attaching the flowers with Dimensionals, I added several Artistry Blooms sequins to their centers, shown in the first photo. They are self-adhesive, making them super easy to apply.
I was inspired by TGIF.

I’m taking a break from Christmas cards, because I always need “thank you” cards, and my stash is running low. Isn’t my butterfly pretty? I used the largest, Brilliant Wings Die to cut the butterfly from a green/blue portion of Rainbow Glimmer Paper. This paper is great for butterflies, because it’s sturdy, yet flexible, so they can fly.
Brilliant Wings
After cutting the butterfly I glued, just the body, to a circle of blue from Beauty of the Earth Designer Paper. The circle was cut with the 2 3/4″ Layering Circles Die, and layered on a circle of cardstock for thickness.
“Thank you” is from the Love of Leaves Stamp Set, stamped in Night of Navy Ink.
Beneath the circle is Thick Basic White Cardstock, 4 1/4″ X 1 3/4″, embossed with the Stitched Greenery Die.
The embossed piece is glued to Beauty of the Earth Designer Paper, cut with a Stitched Rectangles Die, 3 1/4″ X 4 3/4″. Finally, the rectangular layers are glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, and the circle is attached with Dimensionals.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

When you can’t give an “in person” hug, a paper hug is the next best thing. And, these koalas know just how to do it!
Koalas Hugging
I began with a card base of Smoky Slate, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I used the largest Stitched Rectangle Die to cut Basic White Cardstock, and embossed it with the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder. After embossing, I layered it on Basic Gray Cardstock 1/8″ larger, giving it a 1/16″ border, and attached the glued layers to the card base with Dimensionals.
Next, I stamped the koalas, from the Count On Me Stamp Set, in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, cut them free, and colored them with a light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend.
We found the perfect sentiment in the Through It Together Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink, and used the smallest layering Circles Die for cutting. The koalas were concerned about having a place to sit, so I left some same at the top of the circle.
The koalas wanted a cheery background, and chose a bright pink. The larger rectangle was created by stamping a Sponge Dauber in Magenta Madness Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and cutting with a Stitched Rectangles Die, 1 3/4″ X 3 1/4″, approximately. The smaller rectangle was cut from 6X6 Designer Paper with a Stitched Rectangles Die, 1 3/4″ X 1/4″, approximately. The current 6X6 patterns of designer paper are in my Product List.
After gluing the rectangles in place, I attached the koalas and sentiment with Dimensionals, and today’s card was complete.
I was inspired by Fusion.

It’s November 2nd, and the day is finally here…..you can order the “early release,” Eden’s Garden. I thought it was only appropriate to use Eden’s Garden for today’s card. You can now order from pictured, direct links to my store. YAY!
The first thing I did was cut this adorable, rectangular wreath, from Brushed Metallic Cardstock, with an Eden’s Garden Die.
Eden’s Garden & Gold
Next, I created my own background paper, using three, Eden’s Garden Stamps, with three colors of ink: Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, and Real Red.
I love how the “Distinktive” stamps in the Eden’s Garden Stamp Set give natural shading of dark and light.
I stamped the foliage on Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, then cut it to size with the second largest Stitched Rectangles Die. This layer was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
For the sentiment, I cut a second wreath from Basic White Cardstock, using only the center to stamp “wishing you a joyful Christmas and happy new year.” The sentiment is from the Tidings and Trimmings Stamp Set, stamped in Real Red Ink. I glued the sentiment, inside the wreath, on the card front at the same time.
To complete my design, I embellished it with a bow of Simply Elegant Trim, and some Metallic Pearls.
Product List
I was inspired by the Paper Players, and used the diagonal: foil, patterned paper, die cut.

For this week’s Global Design Project, we were given Stesha Bloodhart’s Christmas card for inspiration. Her beautiful card gave me the opportunity to use my favorite little bird from the Birds and Branches Stamp Set, which I stamped in Cherry Cobbler Ink, and cut with its Birds & More die.
Christmas Bird
The bird is perched on a branch of Basic White Cardstock, sponged with Mossy Meadow Ink, and cut with a Pinecone Die. The snipped section you see is actually “left-over” from a card I had previously designed. You know how that happens, right?
Next, I used the largest, plain, Layering Circles Die to cut Basic White Cardstock, and gave it texture with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder. Then, I backed the white circle with Mossy Meadow Cardstock, cut with the largest, scalloped edge, Layering Circles Die, and placed it on Dimensionals.
The background is Neutrals 6X6 Designer Paper in a Crumb Cake plaid, 5 1/4″ X 4″, with a distressed edge. Stesha uses this technique often, which I accomplished with the edge of my Paper Snips.
The card base is Cherry Cobbler Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
“Merry Christmas” is from the Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set, stamped in VersaMark on Mossy Meadow Cardstock, sprinkled with White Embossing Powder, and set with the Heat Tool.
I used our new “early-release” Eden’s Die for cutting, which you’ll be able to order tomorrow, November 2nd. You’ll want the entire Eden’s Garden Bundle!!!! Details below.
