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’s challenge is “Sparkle & Shine.”

It’s always fun to add “Sparkle & Shine” to Christmas cards! I began today’s card by Using Word Wishes Dies to cut “Merry Christmas” from gold, Textured Metallic Specialty Paper. This die set has retired, but Words for the Season Dies are in the 2025 Holiday Catalog, available now.

“Sparkle & Shine”
For the background, I used a selection from Joyful Days Memories & More Card Pack, cut to 5 1/4″ X 4″. It was at the top of my list, because, there are 54 double-sided cards in this pack, and the artwork is amazing! It can be used for scrapbooking AND card making! After cutting, I embossed it with the Peaceful Greenery Embossing Folder.

Next, I used a Peace On Earth Die to cut the sentiment label from the scene of trees, as well as a piece of Vellum. Vellum was used to obscure the trees, so Merry Christmas would be clearly visible. Then, I glued the “border” to a Mossy Meadow card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. After gluing “Merry Christmas” to the Vellum, I glued the Vellum to the trees label cut, and raised the label on Dimensionals.

For a bit more sparkle, I added three Traditional Sparkle Sequins in gold. Aren’t they pretty?

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’s challenge is “In Color Spotlight.”

I used all five colors with 2025-2027 In Color Designer Paper to spell the word, “happy.” The letters were cut with the Mini Alphabet Die: h(Darling Duckling) a(Strawberry Slush) p(Timid Tiger) p(Cloud Cover) y(Secret Sea). A Foam Adhesive Sheet was used for Dimension, adhering it to the designer paper, before rolling the letters through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

Choose Happy
Next, I attached the letters to “notebook paper,” created with a Just A Note die, Basic White Cardstock, and a Just A Note stamp for the lines with Secret Sea Ink. Isn’t it adorable? I cut a second piece, from Secret Sea DSP, to layer behind it, and attached both with a paperclip. The paperclip was cut from Silver Foil, and isn’t it realistic?

“Choose” is from the Choose Happy Stamp Set, stamped in Secret Sea Ink, cut with a Perennial Postage Die. Before attaching”choose” with Dimensionals, I glued two arrows, cut with Just A Note Dies, from Secret Sea Cardstock. The background is Basic White Cardstock, given texture with the Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder. This was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4.

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’s challenge is “Online Exclusives.” I’m enamoured with the new, Perfectly Pears Bundle, and Painterly Pears Designer Paper, and couldn’t wait to share it with you!

I began today’s card with one of the ten, Perfectly Pears Dies, to cut a branch from Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used Old Olive and Medium Deep (#159461) Stampin’ Blends for coloring. The three blossoms were also cut with Perfectly Pears Dies.

Perfectly Pears
Next, I used a Perfectly Pears Die to cut the pears from Painterly Pears Designer Paper. This paper is sensational, and I love that some of the dies cut images from it.

The pears and branch were attached, with Dimensionals, to Basic White Cardstock, cut with the third largest Textured Notes Die. And, I stamped “A good friend is a gift,” from the Perfectly Pears Stamp Set, in Mossy Meadow Ink. This layer was attached, with Dimensionals, to Basic White Cardstock, cut with the largest Textured Notes Die.

Prior to gluing the layers to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I embossed the larger layer with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder. This card gives you just a taste of the Painterly Pears Suite; I think you’ll want ALL of it!

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’s challenge is “Floral Delight.” We all love flowers, so let the show begin!

I couldn’t wait to feature the Coneflower Celebrations Bundle, a favorite from the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. Isn’t this large, 3D coneflower, sensational?

3D Coneflower
It was fun putting designer paper to work to cut the flower parts with Coneflower Celebrations Dies. The petals were cut from Beautiful Bokeh DSP, and the cone, stem, and leaves, were cut from Splendid Autumn DSP. After cutting, I glued the parts together, using a Dimensional on the “fold-over” piece for added dimension. And, the top petals were glued just beneath the cone, so they could lift.

The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/2″, given texture with the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder. This was glued to a Mossy Meadow card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

“It’s your day!” is from the Coneflower Celebrations Stamp Set. I stamped it in Mossy Meadow Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used an Unbounded Love Die for cutting. The same die was used a second time to cut the green border, from the designer paper as the stem and leaves. For additional texture, I placed three, Neutral Matte Dots on the sentiment label.

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’s challenge is a sketch.

To begin the challenge, I stamped a circular scene from the Under The Moon Stamp Set on Basic White Cardstock. I used Night Of Navy Ink for the “sky” and dolphins, and Coastal Cabana Ink for the “ocean.” The moon was colored with a Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend. Then, I used a Spotlight On Nature Die for cutting, layered it for thickness, and placed it on Dimensionals.

Under the Moon
The background is Basic White Cardstock, cut with the largest, Textured Notes Die. After cutting, I added color with a Blending Brush and Coastal Cabana Ink, along with stamping spots from the Elements Of Text Stamp Set. This was layered on Mediterranean Blooms Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 3/8″, and glued to a Coastal Cabana card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

“You are seriously the best” is from the Textured Notes Stamp Set, stamped in Night Of Navy Ink. After stamping, I used a Textured Notes Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. As a final touch, I added three, Tinsel Gems.

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’s challenge is “Going Dotty.”

The dotted, Country Lace Designer Paper, makes a wonderful background for my wildflowers. I used an Online Exclusive, Textured Notes Die, for cutting the Petal Pink DSP. Then, I glued it to a Petal Pink card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Wildflowers on Dotted Background
Next, I used three Thoughtful Wishes Dies to cut the wildflowers from Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper. These have been favorites from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. After cutting the flowers, I arranged them, partially gluing them to the background.

The sentiment, “You are seriously the best,” is from the Textured Notes Stamp Set. I stamped it in Mossy Meadow Ink on Thoughtful Journey DSP, used a Textured Notes Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. To complete the design, I added three Iridescent Foil Gems.

This is the Botanical Textures Suite Collection. The products can be purchased together in the suite, or separately. Click here to view ALL of the Online Exclusives in my store:
