Today’s card began with snippets of Garden Green Cardstock, cut with a Christmas Pinecone Die. This die is a carry-over, available now in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, which you can see in my product List below. It can cover an entire card front, or be cut into smaller pieces, as shown here.
Christmas Pine Boughs
Next, I used a Christmas Classics Die to cut the square from Joy Of Christmas Designer Paper, layered it for thickness, glued the boughs to the back, and placed it on Dimensionals.
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 3 7/8″ X 3 7/8″, embossed with the Cane Weave Embossing Folder. This was glued to Joy Of Christmas DSP in a Pecan, woodgrain pattern, 4″ X 4″. Then, I glued the 4″ square to a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, embossed with the Timber Embossing Folder.
“Many merry thoughts and wishes” is from the Saint Nicholas Stamp Set, stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink, and cut with a Sending Die. I used a Foam Adhesive Sheet for dimension, and propped the end, under “many,” on a Mini Dimensional.
For a touch of sparkle, I added three, Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls.

Today’s card was created with the very versatile, “Distinktive” stamp set, Cheers To The Season. The “So Thankful” leaf is perfect for Thanksgiving cards, don’t you think?
“Distinktive” is a word Stampin’ Up! coined for “stamps that create different opacities in a single stamped image.”
After stamping the leaf in Cajun Craze Ink on Basic White Cardstock, I used my Paper Snips to fussy cut, and placed it on Dimensionals.
So Thankful
Next, I used the second largest Deckled Rectangles Die to cut Basic White Cardstock. Then, I stamped Pumpkin Pie Ink, with the “swish” stamp, six times. This was followed by stamping Early Espresso Ink, with the dot stamp, three times.
After stamping, I used Dimensionals to attach the layer to a Cajun Craze card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
To complete my Thanksgiving card, I added embellishments to the stamped dots: Iridescent Rhinestones, Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins, and 2023-2025 In Color Dots.

Who loves Candy Corn? I do! Even if this Halloween candy isn’t your favorite, you have to like “paper” Candy Corn! This Candy Corn was created with an image from the Taco Fiesta Stamp Set. By stamping the tortilla chips in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and coloring them with Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends, I turned the chips into candy. Please overlook the black dots:)
Candy Corn
Once the candy was made, I wanted to spell the word, “candy,” which I was able to do with the Alphabet a la Mode Dies. I cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie Designer Paper, and attached it to an equal size of Foam Adhesive Sheet, 3 1/4″ X 1 3/4″. Then, I placed the letters on top of the designer paper, and rolled it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I put it through the machine an additional time, upside down, to make sure it was a good cut. The backing was left on the letters until they were ready to be placed on the card front. I positioned a ruler along the bottom to keep the letters straight.
For the background, I used the largest Scalloped Contours Die to cut Basic White Cardstock, and glued this to a Daffodil Delight card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Prior to gluing the layer, I gave it texture with a Basics 3D Embossing Folder, available in Online Exclusives.
The sentiment, “just for you,” is from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink, used its Sentiment Silhouettes Die for cutting, and attached it with Mini Dimensionals. After attaching the Candy Corn with Mini Dimensionals, my Halloween card was complete.

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!

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.
