Today we have a “festive” Christmas card. I began by stamping the truck, from the Trucking Along Stamp Set, in Cherry Cobbler Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I stamped the truck outline in Memento Black Ink, and colored the wheels with a Basic Black Stampin’ Blend.
Merrily Trucking
After coloring, I used the Trucking Along Punch for cutting, which will be available the middle of October. (The latest update is October 9). The stamp set is available NOW, in Online Exclusives, and clicking on its picture in my Product List will take you there.
Next, I loaded a tree onto the truck by using a Reindeer Die to cut Garden Green Cardstock. Isn’t this tree cute? I snipped the tree in half to make it the perfect size.
The background was created with Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 3 1/2″, embossed with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder. Prior to embossing, I used a Gorgeously Made Die to cut the top and bottom edges.
Beneath the music is Joy Of Christmas Designer Paper, 5 1/4″ X 4″, glued to a Thick Basic White card base.
The sentiment, “Wishing you a festive Christmas,” is from the Trucking Along Stamp Set. I stamped it in Cherry Cobbler Ink, used a Gorgeously Made Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. Just had to add three Cherry Cobbler Enamel Dots from my retired stash.
When I saw the challenge at TGIF, I made an identical card using different colors.

Today, I’m going to show you how I made a striped circle.
Striped Circle
I’m sure there are other methods, but this is how I did it. First, I cut six strips of Winter Meadow Designer Paper, 4″ X 1/2″. Then, I glued them on Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. The Deckled Circles Die, that has a circumference of 2 7/8″, was used to cut the circle. After cutting, I placed it on Dimensionals.
You’ll have to come back tomorrow to see how I used what remained.
For the background, I cut Basic White Cardstock with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die, to matched the edge of the circle. Then, I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock Ink. “Tidings Of Comfort and Joy” is from the Christmas Classics Stamp Set.
Before gluing the layer to a Pretty Peacock card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I embossed it with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder.
To complete the design I cut a tree from More Dazzle Specialty Paper, using a Reindeer Die, and attached it with Dimensionals. I love the touch of sparkle that this paper provides!
I was inspired by TGIF.

For today’s card, I used One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Paper. It’s an Online Exclusive product, and tomorrow, September 6, there will be new additions. You can watch the YouTube Video below for more details.
I began by cutting a piece of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP, in a Crumb Cake pattern, using a Christmas Classic Die.
Colors of the Season
Next, I cut a second pattern, trees in the color of Pool Party, with a Stylish Shapes Die. This 2 3/8″ X 2 3/8″ square fits nicely in the Christmas Classics die-cut. After gluing them together, I placed it on Dimensionals.
The background is a third piece of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Before gluing it to the Blackberry Bliss card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I used a Christmas Classics label die to cut a piece for the sentiment.
I stamped the sentiment, from the Christmas Classics Stamp Set, in Blackberry Bliss Ink. Prior to gluing “Season’s Greetings” back in the hole, I layered it on three pieces of cardstock, so it would have dimension.
The last step was attaching four Iridescent Pearls.
I was inspired by TGIF.

Today’s card is the fourth sneak peek of the year-round, Translucent Florals. Beginning September 6th, Translucent Florals, along with all the new holiday products will be available to everyone!
I began by cutting the petals from the truly translucent, Vellum Basics Specialty Paper. It reminds me of Dotted Swiss fabric, with its tiny dots.
After cutting the petals, I colored them with Stampin’ Blends in the colors of Bubble Bath and Fresh Freesia. Then, I attached the petals with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals, and glued the centers, cut from the More Dazzle Specialty Paper. Don’t you love the sparkle?
Vellum Translucent Florals
For the background, I cut a branch from Basic White Cardstock, using a Gorgeously Made Die.
The branch was glued to Basic White Cardstock, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die. Then, the layer was glued to a Gray Granite card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The sentiment, “Hello there,” is from the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set. I stamped it in Gray Granite Ink, cut it to shape with two Deckled Rectangles Dies, and attached it with Dimensionals.
As a final touch, I added three Tinsel Gems in Fresh Freesia. See how you can earn my Tinsel Gems Host Code Gift, below.
I’m sharing with TGIF.

For the next several blog posts, I’ll be featuring the Translucent Florals Bundle. It’s a favorite from the Sept-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog, and will be available Sept 6th. The versatility, and beauty of the stamped images is amazing.
I began today’s card by stamping the leaves in Lost Lagoon Ink, and the flowers in Fresh Freesia Ink, on Basic White Cardstock. After stamping, I used their Translucent Florals Dies for cutting.
With “Distinktive” stamps, the trick is to not have too much ink when stamping. This can be accomplished by moving the ink across your ink pad with a flat tool. I use the rounded edge of a plastic knife.
Framed Translucent Florals
Next, I made the frame for my floral arrangement with the largest, and second largest, Countryside Corners Dies, and Masterfully Made Designer Paper.
I glued the frame to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Prior to gluing, I gave the card front texture with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder.
“Thank you” is from the Timeless Arrangements Stamp Set, stamped in Blackberry Bliss Ink, cut with a Timeless Arrangements Die, and attached with Dimensionals.
The leaves and flowers were glued at the bottom, and raised with Dimensionals at the top. Once they were in place, I added three Tinsel Gems in Lost Lagoon and Fresh Freesia. I love these colors and these gems, and they happen to be my Host Code Gift this month. See details below.

The Joy Of Christmas Designer Paper is gorgeous, and it pairs perfectly with the Joy Of Noel Dies. For this “sneak peek,” I used the NOEL die to cut a checked pattern of the DSP. A piece of Foam Adhesive Sheet, 2 1/4″ X 2 1/4″, works well to give the word Dimension.
Joy of Noel
The Joy Of Christmas DSP along the bottom is 5 1/4″ X 1 1/2″, glued to Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″. Isn’t it pretty? This layer is glued to a Shaded Spruce card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Here’s a peek at the 12 patterns of paper, but they are more beautiful in person.
Prior to gluing, I embossed the Basic White layer with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder, a favorite that is in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.
I completed the card by cutting a Shaded Spruce Cardstock pine bough, and Real Red Cardstock berries, with Joy of Noel Dies.
