This is from Stampin’ Up!:
World Card Making Day is all about making beautiful, heartfelt cards. During the event, we’ll walk you through several projects, and you’ll create the cards right along with us. You’ll end up with new project ideas and some stunning new cards!
To make the most of this experience, you can order the Cottage Rose Bundle from the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog, the Cottage Wreaths Bundle from the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog, or the Warm Welcome Bundle, which you can get early from the January–June 2023 Mini Catalog! If you want, you could even order all three bundles!
When you order one of these three bundles: Cottage Rose Bundle, Cottage Wreaths Bundle or Warm Welcome Bundle you’ll get a FREE gift of Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels!
You can still attend this event without ordering the bundles, but it will be a lot more fun to craft together if you have one or more bundles!
For today’s card, I was excited to use the Cottage Wreaths Bundle, and stamped a wreath of leaves in Garden Green Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I stamped a second wreath of stems on top of it in Early Espresso Ink.
After stamping, I used a Cottage Wreath Die to cut the wreath, and another die in the set to cut the bow from Gingham Cottage Designer Paper. Doesn’t the Real Red plaid make a pretty bow?
Christmas Wreath
Beneath the wreath is Basic White Cardstock, cut with the fourth largest Deckled Rectangles Die. After cutting, I embossed it with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder, and placed it on Dimensionals.
For a different color combination, I added a layer of Early Espresso 6″ X 6″ Designer Paper, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die, to the Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The sentiment, “Christmas Greetings,” is from the Trees For Sale Stamp Set, stamped in Early Espresso Ink, and fussy cut. I attached the wreath and sentiment with Dimensionals, and my card was complete.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

Sep 21, 2022 | Fusion, Gallery, Hand-Crafted Cards |
When I saw the Fusion sketch, I knew I wanted to include a fancy edge, cut with an Eden Die. This is a fabulous die set that I’ve used many times, and it’s one of the Weekly Deals right now, but the discounted offer ends tomorrow, Thursday the 22nd. You can see the entire set in my Product List below, and clicking on it will take you to my store for ordering.
I used this die by lining it on the edge of Gingham Cottage Designer Paper, 2″ X 5 1/2″, and rolling it through my Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine.
Brick wall and poinsettias
After die-cutting, I glued this piece to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Prior to gluing, the card base was embossed with the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder.
Next, I fussy cut the poinsettias from Boughs Of Holly Designer Paper, and attached it with Dimensionals.
Merry Christmas is from the Cottage Wreaths Stamp Set, stamped in Evening Evergreen Ink on Basic White Cardstock. I made two cuts with the smallest Deckled Rectangles Die to make the label the desired size, and attached it with Dimensionals.
I was inspired by Fusion.

My second Painted Pheasant card is showing off colors that I found in a photo: Soft Suede, Mango Melody, Early Espresso, Orchid Oasis, Cinnamon Cider, plus, a Real Red Stampin’ Blend. The markers come in color collections that you can see in my Product List below.
“A pleasant little note”
Isn’t he pretty?
To color the pheasant, I used the same “ink to stamp” technique as the first card, which is painting the stamp with the Stampin’ Write Markers, using the Stamparatus. The Stamparatus holds the Basic White Cardstock in place, while coloring the stamp on the lid of the Stamparatus, and lowering it to stamp the paper, one color at a time.
The Basic White Cardstock is 5 1/4″ X 4″, which I glued to a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Prior to gluing, I stamped the pheasant’s habitat in Crumb Cake Ink with an image from the Painted Pheasant Stamp Set. I also cut a strip of grass from Crumb Cake Cardstock, using a Playful Piggy Die, and glued it along the bottom.
If you like “play on words,” you’ll enjoy this sentiment, “A pleasant little note.” Cute, huh? I stamped it in Early Espresso Ink, and used a Potted Succulents Die for cutting.
After attaching the sentiment with Dimensionals, I added a bow of Linen Thread on a Glue Dot.
I was inspired by TGIF.
