Sneak Peek: Nests of Winter Suite from the Holiday Mini Catalog

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, VIDEO by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I’m so excited to give you a sneak peek of the Nests of Winter Suite from the upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog! This suite is an absolute gem, perfect for cozy, winter-themed projects and versatile enough to use all year long. ❄️ Whether you’re making holiday cards, thank-you notes, or winter birthday greetings, this suite has you covered.

Today, I’m sharing a replay from my LIVE session on Tuesday, where I demonstrated how to create two quick and easy cards from a single sheet of the beautiful pattern paper in this suite. 🌟 The sheet I used is perfect for making six cards, and I’m showing you two designs to get your creative juices flowing. The patterns are stunning and make creating gorgeous cards a breeze!

CLICK HERE TO VIEW VIDEO

Card 1 & 2: Quick and Easy from One Sheet 📜✂️

For the first two cards, I used a sheet featuring a serene scene with the bird and pussy willows. The beauty of this design is that you can easily cut it into 4″ x 5 1/4″ sections, creating multiple cards with minimal effort. The colors are soft yet bold, with a mix of gray, whites, and reds that capture the essence of a peaceful winter day.

Here I used the Stylish Shapes to highlight my greeting. The second card has a banner cut from the Stylish Shapes and then I fussy cut around the greeting to create a bit of a focal point.

Card 3: Featuring the Coordinating Dies ✨

The third card is all about showcasing the fabulous coordinating dies that come with the suite. I used the Winterly Trees dies, which perfectly match some of the birds (and more) in the paper pack. These intricate dies add a lovely touch of dimension and elegance to any project. I highlighted one of the bird pairs by die-cutting it from a piece of the pattern paper and layering it over a piece of the Naturally Gilded Specialty Paper. The result is a stunning card that’s sure to impress! Oh yes … and off camera, I tucked some silver cord behind the greeting.

This suite is much more than just holiday-themed suite; it’s a versatile collection that you can use throughout the year for various occasions. From winter wonderlands to beautiful cards to show how much you appreciate your friends, the possibilities are endless! 🏞️

Add It to Your Wish List! ✨📝

I hope these projects inspire you to add the Nests of Winter Suite to your wish list. It’s a must-have for anyone who loves creating beautiful, seasonal cards and projects. And if you’re interested, I’m considering hosting a class to dive deeper into this suite and explore all its creative possibilities. Would you like to join? Let me know in the comments!

Happy crafting! ✨

A Perfect Wedding / Anniversary Card ….

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Wedding by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I’m excited to share a special card I created for my design team challenge. The theme was Wedding or Anniversary cards, and I decided to go for a modern and elegant look. This card is done in classic white and silver, making it perfect for a wedding or a 25th anniversary celebration.

The Layering Leaves stamp set with the Naturally Gilded Specialty paper, was the star of the show. This sets beautiful fonts make it perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any project.

To give my card a modern twist, I used the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder. This folder adds a unique and contemporary texture that really makes the card stand out. The embossed circles create a stunning backdrop for the other elements on the card, adding interest without overwhelming the design.

This card is one of my favorites because it combines several different elements and techniques to create a cohesive and elegant design. The white and silver color scheme is timeless and perfect for special occasions like weddings and anniversaries. The modern texture of the Circles 3D embossing folder, the natural beauty of the Layering Leaves stamp set, and the shimmer of the Naturally Gilded Specialty paper all work together to create a card that is both sophisticated and contemporary.

If you would like the PDF for this card and another beautiful wedding design, place an order during the month of July and I will send them both to your email address.

Thanks for joining me today.
