Dec 13, 2024 | Gallery, Hand-Crafted Cards, Stampin' Fancy Friday |
The Stampin’ Fancy Friday Design Team is a group of past and continuing Artisans, bringing our followers a fancy monthly challenge for inspiration.
This month is a “Pretty in Plaid” challenge.
I chose a red and green plaid from Iconic Celebrations Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″, and glued it to a Basic Beige card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Once I had my plaid background, I stamped the the Happy Hibiscus in Real Red Ink on Basic Beige Cardstock, and used its Happy Hibiscus Die for cutting. Then, I used its Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder to give it texture, and colored the stamen with a Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend.
Hibiscus and Plaid
Next, I used a Happy Hibiscus Die to cut three leaves from Basic White Cardstock, and colored them with a Blending Brush and Mossy Meadow Ink. Then, I glued the leaves to the flower, and attached it to a tag with Dimensionals. The tag was cut with a Merry Tags & More Die from Basic Beige Cardstock, which I attached to the card front with Dimensionals.
For the sentiment, I used Glimmer Paper to cut “Merry,” which was also cut with a Merry Tags & More Die. “Christmas” is from the Greetings Of the Season Stamp Set, stamped it in Mossy Meadow Ink on Basic Beige Cardstock. I used its Greetings Of The Season Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.

This month, the theme is Winter Wonderland. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Move over poinsettia; make room for the hibiscus! The hibiscus is flourishing in San Diego for the holidays, and this beautiful photo was my inspiration.
I began by stamping the Happy Hibiscus flower in Poppy Parade Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After cutting with its Happy Hibiscus Die, I used three Stamping Blends to complete the coloring: Real Red, Cherry Cobbler and Daffodil Delight.
Holidays Hibiscus
Next, I colored Basic White Cardstock with Garden Green Ink and a Small Blending Brush. Then, I used a Happy Hibiscus Die to cut six leaves to surround the flower. Four were glued flat on Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, and two were raised on Dimensionals with the flower.
The branch was cut with a Thoughtful Wishes Die from Crumb Cake Cardstock, and the layer was glued to a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Prior to gluing, I stamped the sentiment in Crumb Cake Ink. “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” is from the Greetings Of The Season Stamp Set.
There’s more inspiration to show you, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. Please mark your calendars for our next blog hop next month, when our theme will be Sale-A-Bration Inspiration.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.

This week’s Global Design Project is a theme: celebration. I wanted to make a New Year card, and thought of the champagne glasses in the Iconic Celebrations Designer Paper. I decided to use a Crafting With You Die to cut an easel from Blackberry Bliss Cardstock, to display the champagne paper. After cutting the paper to fit the easel, 2 1/8″ X 1 5/8″, I stamped “Time To Celebrate” in Blackberry Bliss Ink. This sentiment is in the Round We Go Stamp Set.
Time To Celebrate
Next, I created the bottle, from the Attention Shoppers Stamp Set, by stamping it in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and coloring it with Stampin’ Blends in Moody Mauve and Bubble Bath. After coloring, I used its Attention Shoppers Die for cutting, and placed it on Dimensionals.
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 3 5/8″ X 4 7/8″, stamped with words from the Love This Moment Stamp Set. After stamping, “highlights,” “details,” “who,” “when,” “this moment,” and “never forget,” in Blackberry Bliss Ink (stamped off), I gave it texture with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder. I glued this layer to Bubble Bath Cardstock, 1/8″ larger, giving it a 1/16″ border. This was glued to a Blackberry Bliss card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
I completed the inside with Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, stamped with “Cheers To You and the New Year” in Blackberry Bliss Ink. This sentiment is from the Throughout The Years Stamp Set. I used a Round We Go Stamp to add “fireworks” in Moody Mauve and Bubble Bath Ink.
This week’s Global Design Project is a theme: celebration. We’d love to see what you create using this theme, and please tag it #gdp475. You could be the winner!

The Umbrella Days Bundle is wonderful, and it’s so much fun using the die-cut “paper piecing” technique. For today’s card, I stamped the girl and dog in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used their Umbrella Days Dies for cutting. Then, I colored the dog, the girl’s coat, and pants, using three Stampin’ Blends: Pecan Pie, Daffodil Delight, and Ivory.
Umbrella Days
Next, came the “paper piecing,” using Umbrella Days Dies I cut the dog’s sweater, the girl’s boots, and the umbrella from Full Of Life Designer Paper. Then, I glued the cut pieces in place. I also used two puddle dies, and added them to the scene, prior to attaching the girl and her dog with Dimensionals.
The background is Winter Meadow Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″, glued to a Smoky Slate card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The Umbrella Days Stamp Set has fabulous raindrops that I stamped in Smoky Slate. I also stamped a sentiment from the stamp set in Memento Black Ink, “You are the umbrella to my rainy days.” You can see the entire Umbrella Days Bundle by clicking on the picture in my Product List below.

I’m really excited to show you today’s card, because it’s a sneak peek of the adorable Storybook Friends Bundle and Storybook Moments Designer Paper! The card features an irresistible mouse, named Missy, sitting so nicely in a teacup! She asked me to use Dimensionals, because she wanted to “stand out.”
Missy Mouse
The designer paper comes with two sheets of punch-outs, which you have to see to believe, so here it is. Can you find Missy Mouse? The paper pack also comes with characters that can be cut with Storybook Friends Dies, which I’ll show you on another card.
There are three frames in the Storybook Dies, and Missy chose her frame, cut from Basic Beige Cardstock. Her background is Storybook Moments DSP, a backside pattern, 3 3/8″ X 4 5/8″. This is glued to Crumb Cake Cardstock, 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″, and attached with Dimensionals to a Basic Beige card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
“Hello friend” is from the Storybook Friends Stamp Set, stamped in Crumb Cake Ink on Basic Beige Cardstock. After stamping, I used a Happy Little Things Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. I completed Missy’s card with three, Earth Tones Shimmer Gems.
