Pretty Poinsettia Deep Impressions

This is my second “Christmas in July” card, using the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle. Yes, it’s an Online Exclusive favorite! I began with Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, colored with Small Blending Brushes and three colors of ink: Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, and Pool Party. After coloring the layer, I glued it to a Garden Green card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Poinsettias

Next, I used Pretty Poinsettia Dies to cut Two Tone Cardstock in Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, and Real Red. To make a poinsettia, I glued two rounds of Real Red bracts to one round of Garden Green leaves, and a center of Granny Apple Green. Then, I attached three poinsettias to the card front with Dimensionals.

Pretty Poinsettia is one of the sets that Stampin’ Up made to give extra dimension to the die-cuts by using an Impressions Plate. It comes with instructions, but I’ll try to explain. You’ll need to run the die-cuts through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine two times. The first time you will cut as you normally do: plate #1, plate #2, plate #3, paper, die (cutting side down), plate #3. The second time, you will leave the cut paper in the die, turn it cutting side up on plate #2, which is on top of plate #1. Then, place the flexible, Impressions Plate on top of the die-cut, top it with plate #4, and run it through a second time.

“Most wonderful time of the year” is from the Pretty Poinsettia Stamp Set. I stamped it in Garden Green Ink on Basic White Cardstock, used a Scalloped Blooms Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. After attaching three, clear, Epoxy Shapes, my card was complete.

Forever Florals for Global Design Project

Jul 20, 2026 | Gallery, Global Design Project, Hand-Crafted Cards | 2 comments

This week’s Global Design Project is a color challenge, using Lemon Lolly, Flirty Flamingo, and Coastal Cabana. I can’t wait to see how YOU use the colors. Please join our challenge, and tag your entry #gdp557.

Using the Forever Florals Bundle, I created a wedding, or anniversary card. I began cutting Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, with the largest, Forever Florals Die. This was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Forever Florals

Prior to gluing, I stamped the sentiment on the card front. “Always & Forever” is from the Forever Florals Stamp Set, stamped in VersaMark, sprinkled with Gold Embossing Powder, and set with the Heat Tool.

To bring in the challenge colors, I used Forever Florals Dies to cut blossoms and leaves from the three colors of cardstock: Lemon Lolly, Flirty Flamingo, and Coastal Cabana. The hardest part of this simple design was placing the tiny pin dots of glue.

Stampin’ Hot Foil System Tutorial and My First Attempt

Jul 19, 2026 | Gallery, Hand-Crafted Cards | 3 comments

To see photos correctly, please click “read on blog.”

I hope that by the time you see this blog post, the Stampin’ Hot Foil System is still available. Over 2 million have sold, and the current supply is diminishing. More have been ordered, but we aren’t sure how long that will take. When I ordered the system, I included the Luxe Alphabet & Numbers Hot Foil Dies, and Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls, which is what I’m showing you today. I watched the video below, as well as following the instructions that come with the Stampin’ Hot Foil System, and I was delighted with my first attempt.

Hot Foil Letters

I used Pecan Pie Two-Tone Cardstock for the first group of letters. This paper was recommended, because of the smooth finish. I’ve been told we can use our regular cardstock, but it will have a less precise outcome. I’ll be trying it soon.

For the second group, I used Basic White Cardstock, which is also smooth, and worked perfectly. After using the Gold Foil Die, I used the regular, “cutting” die to cut the letters. This is a great die, because it could be used without adding the foil.

You can be sure, I’ll be using my letters on cards in the near future! Now, have fun watching this video!

Wild Bunch Cow for TGIF Inspiration Challenge

Jul 17, 2026 | Gallery, Hand-Crafted Cards, TGIF | 0 comments

To see photos correctly, please click “read on blog.”

This week, TGIF has an inspiration challenge. I HAD to use our cow from the Wild Bunch Stamp Set! This set has sold out, but I have my set to give away. Anyone who places an order with me in July will be in a drawing to win the set. You can see the set in my Product List below. We’d love to see what you create, using this picture as inspiration. It doesn’t have to be a cow; let your imagination run “wild.”

I started by stamping the Wild Bunch cow in Early Espresso Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used a Water Painter and Pecan Pie Ink to color the cow. After stamping “hello” in Early Espresso Ink, I used a Forever Floral Die for cutting. The sentiment is in the Help Me Grow Stamp Set.

Wild Bunch Cow

Next, I used Forever Floral Dies to cut foliage from Garden Poetry Designer Paper. I chose red, yellow, and purple, like the flowers in the picture. These were glued to Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, which was glued to a Gorgeous Grape card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

To complete the card, I attached the cow with Dimensionals, and gave her a wreath of purple flowers. Then, for some bling, I added three Sunset Sparkle Sequins.

Oh My Fright Halloween Card

Jul 15, 2026 | Gallery, Hand-Crafted Cards | 2 comments

To see photos correctly, please click “read on blog.”

The smiling ghost in the Oh My Fright Bundle is so cute! He reminds me of Casper the Friendly Ghost, so that’s his name. Casper was easy to stamp in Basic Black Hybrid Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and cut with his Oh My Fright Die.

Casper

Next, I used Oh My Fright Dies to cut the tree from Blackberry Bliss cardstock, and the moon from 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Specialty Paper.

The background is Garden Poetry Designer Paper, embossed with the Swirls Of Magic Embossing Folder, and cut with the largest Everyday Arches Die. Then, I glued it to a Blackberry Bliss card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Prior to embossing the background, I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss Ink. “BOO to you” is from the Oh My Fright Stamp Set. After gluing the tree flat, and attaching the moon and Casper with Dimensionals, my first Halloween card was complete.

Summer Happiness for Global Design Project

For this week’s Global Design Project challenge, we get to CASE (copy and selectively edit) Emma Goddard’s fantastic card. Won’t you join in the fun, and post your creation on social media? Don’t forget to tag it #gdp556.

The set Emma used is retired, but I used a new set from July Online Exclusives, which has smaller, but very refreshing drinks.

By Su Mohr for GDP556; Click aromasandart.com to go to my website for details; Featuring: Summer Happiness Bundle, Banner Sayings Bundle,Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP, Lovely Arrangements Dies; #summerhappiness #bannersayings #lovelyarrangements #beautifulordinarylife #gdp556 #globaldesignproject #drinks #handmadecards #cardmaking #stampinup #CASE

Here’s to you!

I began by stamping the drinks, from the Summer Happiness Stamp Set, in Black Hybrid Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used a Summer Happiness Die for cutting, and colored them with Stampin’ Blends. The drinks were colored in Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, and the straws in Strawberry Slush.

The background was cut with a Lovely Arrangements Die from Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Paper, two times. After layering the circles for thickness, I glued them to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

The sentiment, “here’s to you,” is from another new bundle, Banner Sayings. It comes with a punch for cutting, but I used a Lovely Arrangements Die to make the label extra narrow. I stamped the words in VersaMark on Basic Black Cardstock, sprinkled it with white WOW powder, set it with the Heat Tool, and attached it with Dimensionals. To complete the design, I stamped the sun, from the Summer Happiness Stamp Set, in Daffodil Delight Ink on Basic White Cardstock, used its die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. Three Sunset Sparkle Sequins were added for some shine.
