Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
Happy Holidays! This month, the theme is Winter Wonderland. We hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
For my Winter project, I chose Winter Meadows Designer Paper on a fun fold card, the “Triple Fold-out.”
For those who like to plan ahead, Winter Meadows Designer Paper is a carry-over to 2024, so you might want to grab some now.
Triple Fold-out
I began by cutting Basic White Cardstock, 4 1/4″ X 11″. Then, I scored it four times: 2 1/2″, 3 3/4″, 6 3/4″, and 8 1/4″. After folding and burnishing the folds (mountain, valley, mountain, valley), I prepared the panels.
There are two squares of Misty Moonlight Cardstock, 4″ X 4″, topped with Winter Meadow Designer Paper, 3 3/4″ X 3 3/4″. The third panel has Misty Moonlight Cardstock, 2 1/2″ X 3 3/4″, topped with Winter Meadow Designer Paper, 2 1/4″ X 3 3/4″.
The third panel is glued flat, but the first two panels are glued to the Basic White card base with an overlap, so take care not to glue the entire panel.
I couldn’t resist adding birds to the scene, using two from Flight & Airy Designer Paper. This paper is a FREE Sale-a-bration item, available to customers January 3, 2024. You’re going to love it!
To give the birds a place to perch, I cut Basic White Cardstock with a Christmas Pinecone Die, snipped three sections, and glued it on each panel.
“Merry Christmas” and “Wishing you a wonderful season filled with all the good things that warm your heart and lift your spirit” are from the Regal Reindeer Stamp Set. They were stamped in Night of Navy Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and I used the Double Oval Punch and Something Fancy Dies for cutting.
As a final touch, I added three, Fresh Freesia, Tinsel Gems.
Thank you for visiting. Have a wonderful holiday season!
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop next month, when our theme will be “Sale-A-Bration,” where the projects will showcase all of the great products available with orders over $50.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.

Tweet, from the Fluffiest Friends Stamp Set, wanted to be featured on a card celebrating the New Year. She said I should stamp her in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, color her with Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends, and use her special die for cutting. Not only that, but she had to have her branch for perching!
Tweet’s New Year’s Card
Next, Tweet wanted big balls of Tahitian Tide and Melon Mambo. I wasn’t sure what she meant, but she told me to make stencils, by cutting holes in scratch paper with Deckled Circles Dies. Then, she said to put the stencils on top of Basic White cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, and use a Blending Brush to add color to the holes.
After seeing the balls of color, she thought this would look pretty on a Real Red card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Tweet wanted the sentiment to say, ” Cheers to you and the New Year, ” which we found in Throughout The Year Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink on the large, Tahitian Tide ball.
When I thought we were finished, she said it needed three more things! First, I needed to add a Real Red bow, cut with a Country Wreaths Die. Second, it was important to add stamped dots from Cheers To The Season Stamp Set. And, last, but not least, Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs, because everyone should know this was my Host Code gift for the month.
Tweet was inspired by The Paper Players.

For this week’s Global Design Project, we get to CASE (copy and selectively edit) Charlet Mallet’s fun design.
See how our designers “cased” Charlet, then join in the fun, and add your design to our gallery.
The Bee Mine Bundle is a favorite from the upcoming January-April 2024 Mini Catalog (available Jan. 4) and the one I chose for this week’s design.
I began with a Soft Sea Foam card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I stamped hearts, in Soft Sea Foam Ink, on Basic White Cardstock, 3 1/4″ X 4 1/2″, and glued it in the middle of the card front.
Bee Mine
Next, I cut a yellow plaid pattern of Bee Mine Designer Paper, 4″ X 2″. This was layered with Soft Sea Foam Cardstock, 4″ X 1 3/4″, layered with Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 1/2″.
Prior to gluing the layers, I stamped “Bee Mine” and the bee’s trail in Memento Black Ink, on the white layer. These stamps are in the Bee My Valentine Stamp Set.
The Bee Mine Stamp Set also has stamps to create the bee. I stamped the bee’s body and wings in Daffodil Delight Ink, and the stripes, face and antennae in Memento Black Ink. The bundle comes with the Bee Builder Punch for cutting. So fun!
After gluing the wings and antennae, I gave the bee cheeks, and attached her to her trail with Dimensionals.
The envelope flap was decorated with the same, yellow plaid, Bee Mine Designer Paper. I cut a 6″ X 2 1/4″ section, glued it to the flap, and used Paper Snips to cut it to size, using the flap as a template.

Bruce the Beaver is back, and this time he says “love you.” Bruce is from the Fluffiest Friends Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and cut with his Fluffiest Friends Die.
Bruce said he would look cute colored with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends to match a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Bruce loves you!
For his background he wanted lots of hearts, stamped in Real Red Ink on Basic White Cardstock, 3 1/2″ X 4 1/2″, bordered with Real Red Cardstock, 1/8″ larger. There isn’t a heart in the Fluffiest Friends Stamp Set, but he said the bee’s wings in the Bee My Valentine Stamp Set would be perfect.
Next, Bruce wanted to sit on his pile of sticks, stamped in Memento Black Ink, and cut its die.
He must have gotten into red ink to color the sticks he is holding.
Bruce also came up with the idea to use the Bee Builder Punch to make his speech bubble for “love you.” Isn’t he a clever beaver?
Before jumping onto the card front with Dimensionals, Bruce peeled a heart from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers pack, and stuck it on his speech bubble. I had to agree, it was a nice touch.
The Bee Builder Punch and Bee My Valentine Stamp Set are in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog, available January 3, 2024. However, if you join Stampin’ Up!, you can pre-order NOW! This is one of the perks for being a Demonstrator. I’d love for you to join my Dream Makers Team; just click HERE.

I keep saying this is my last Christmas card, but here is one more. I love the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Paper, and today’s card has a scene cut in two pieces: 2 1/4″ X 3 7/8 and 1 1/4″ X 3 7/8″. These were glued to a 4″ square of Garden Green Cardstock, which was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Prior to gluing, I embossed the card base with the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder.
Winter NOEL
Next, I stamped NOEL, from the Joy Of Noel Stamp Set, in Early Espresso Ink on Basic White Cardstock, 1 7/8″ X 2 1/8″. This was glued to Garden Green Cardstock, 2″ X 2 /14″, and attached with Dimensionals.
The little bunny is from the Regal Reindeer Stamp Set, stamped in Early Espresso Ink, and cut with his Reindeer Die. He seems to hop on quite a few of my cards!
For some sparkle, I added Iridescent Rhinestone, one of my favorite embellishments.
I was inspired by TGIF.
