Day 11: A Regal Winter Card with a Unique Cut Pattern

Posted in Christmas, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Welcome to Day 11 of my 12 Days of Christmas! As we approach the grand finale of this festive series, I’m excited to share a card that’s both simple to create and absolutely stunning. Today’s project features the Regal Winter Designer Paper paired with a unique card cut pattern that’s easy to execute but delivers a big impact—perfect for making a lasting impression during the holidays.

Let’s start with the card base. I used Night of Navy cardstock, cut to 5 1/2″ x 7 1/2″, and scored it at 3 1/4″ to create an elegant flap-style fold. This subtle design twist adds a touch of sophistication without complicating the process. For an optional accent, you can use the 1″ strip you trimmed off earlier and adhere it to the far right inside edge of the card. However, I chose to enhance this area with a Silver Foil mat, cut to 3/4″ x 5 1/4″, and layered it with a strip of Regal Winter Designer Paper, cut to 1/2″ x 5″. This simple addition elevates the design and ties everything together beautifully.

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 3″ x 5 1/4″. This is the perfect space for stamping your sentiments or writing a heartfelt message. A subtle stamped design, such as snowflakes or winter foliage, can be added to this panel to coordinate with the front of the card while leaving plenty of room for personalization.

Now for the star of the show—the card front. The beautiful Regal Winter Designer Paper takes center stage, mounted on a Silver Foil mat to create a stunning layered effect. The Silver Foil is cut to 3″ x 5 1/4″, while the designer paper is slightly smaller at 2 3/4″ x 5″. These layers not only highlight the intricate patterns of the paper but also add depth and a touch of shimmer, making the design stand out.

To complete the card, I chose a festive greeting, stamped it on Basic White cardstock, and die-cut it using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. To make the greeting pop, I layered a piece of Silver Foil behind it, creating a striking focal point that draws the eye. As a finishing touch, I embellished the card with Rhinestones, adding a bit of sparkle that catches the light and enhances the frosty, wintery theme.

This project highlights some of my favorite Stampin’ Up! products, including the Regal Winter Designer Paper, Spotlight on Nature Dies, Silver Foil Sheets, and Rhinestones. These tools not only make crafting easy but also allow you to create polished, professional-looking cards that are sure to impress.

I hope this card inspires you to try something new with your holiday crafting. All the products used in this project are available in my online store, and with the FREE SHIPPING ending TONIGHT, now is the perfect time to stock up on your favorites. Let’s keep crafting festive and fun—check back tomorrow for the final day of my 12 Days of Christmas series!

Happy crafting and …

12 Days of Christmas – Day 10: Festive Country Birdhouse Bundle

Posted in Christmas, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Welcome back to Linda’s Stampin’ Escape and Day 10 of our 12 Days of Christmas series! 🎄 Today’s card takes a walk through a peaceful winter woodland, where chickadees flit among pine boughs, bringing festive cheer to your Christmas projects. With the Country Birdhouse Bundle and Nests of Winter Designer Paper, creating this serene and versatile card is a breeze—and just wait until you see how these products can carry you right into the spring season! 🌸

This bundle is packed with charming details, from intricate birdhouse dies to adorable bird and floral stamps. Whether you’re creating a wintry masterpiece like today’s card or a spring-inspired design, the versatility of this bundle ensures it’s a year-round crafting must-have.

For today’s card, I combined the chickadee stamp with pine accents and the cozy woodland designs from the Nests of Winter Designer Paper. The delicate patterns on the paper bring the perfect touch of texture and seasonal charm, making it easy to craft a cohesive look.

To keep the focus on the birdhouse scene, I die-cut the birdhouse from one of the wood patterns from the Country Woods Designer paper and the bird from the Nests of Winter paper. Then, I nestled them into a setting of pine boughs and branches, creating a scene reminiscent of a snowy winter morning. Look at the dimension and texture in this card!

No Christmas card is complete without a cheerful sentiment! I chose the “Be Merry” stamp from the Christmas Labels Stamp Set. Using one of the birdhouse dies, I stamped the greeting onto the die cut perch, adding a touch of whimsy and cohesiveness to the design.

While today’s card is all about Christmas, the Country Birdhouse Bundle is designed to shine in every season. Imagine swapping out the pine boughs for blooming flowers in spring or colorful leaves in autumn. Birds are a universal symbol of beauty and renewal, making this set a timeless addition to your collection.

Christmas is right around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to craft heartfelt cards for loved ones. But with the Country Birdhouse Bundle, you’re not just investing in holiday crafting—you’re setting yourself up for creative success all year long.

I’d love to see your take on today’s card or how you’re using the Country Birdhouse Bundle. Share your creations with me on social media or in our VIP group! And don’t forget—our 12 Days of Christmas series isn’t over yet. Be sure to check back for more festive inspiration! 😊

12 Days of Christmas – Day 8: Simple to Stunning Christmas Cards

Posted in Christmas, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Welcome back to Day 8 of our 12 Days of Christmas series! Today, I’m sharing two beautiful Christmas cards created with the Regal Winter Designer Paper. Whether you’re looking for something quick and easy or want to elevate your design to something stunning, these cards are perfect for your holiday crafting. Let’s dive in!

The Simple Magic of 4″ x 6″

One of my favorite ways to maximize Designer Series Paper is with the 4″ x 6″ cut. With this method, you can create 6 cards from just one sheet of 12″ x 12″ paper—talk about economical crafting!

Here’s the breakdown:

  1. Cut your designer paper into 4″ x 6″ pieces.
  2. Trim off 3/4″ from the 6″ side, leaving you with a perfect 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece for your card front.
  3. Save the trimmed strip—it’s the perfect touch to embellish the inside of your card!

Next, choose a coordinating cardstock for your card base. I selected Blackberry Bliss for one card and Night of Navy for the second card. Once your Designer Paper is attached, all that’s left is adding a greeting and a few embellishments to bring your card to life. Let’s take a look.

The Blackberry Bliss card keeps things simple yet festive with a warm, bold pattern. I adhered the Designer Paper directly to the card base and used the trimmed strip to decorate the inside panel for a polished look.

For embellishment, I added a piece of Blackberry Bliss & Gold Textured Ribbon and a cluster of Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems in Gold. A beautiful stamped sentiment in coordinating ink from the Peaceful Season stamp set completed the card, keeping it quick but oh-so-stylish!

For the Night of Navy card, I used a warm floral pattern from the Regal Winter Designer Paper pack. To add a bit of flair, I trimmed the Designer Paper to 3 3/4″ x 5″ then matted the paper onto a 4″ x 5 1/4″ Silver Foil sheet . This silver mat creates a stunning frame that makes the design pop.

To finish, I wove the Silver Ribbon from the Gold & Silver Combo Pack behind the greeting. The greeting comes from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set and was die cut from the Deckled Rectangles Dies. I then scattered a few Rhinestone Gems for that frosty sparkle.

You will also see that extra little piece of designer paper on the inside of this card too. It just adds a nice coordinating / finishing touch!

Whether you’re going for the elegance of Navy and Silver accents or the warmth of traditional Blackberry Bliss, this simple-to-stunning approach is a must-try. Grab your favorite Designer Paper, a coordinating cardstock, and a touch of sparkle to create your own holiday masterpieces.

Which card is your favorite—the Blue Beauty or the Redish Radiance? Let me know in the comments below! Don’t forget to check back tomorrow for Day 9 of our 12 Days of Christmas series.

Happy crafting, and may your season be merry and bright! 🎄✨

🎄 Day 4: 12 Days of Christmas: Deck the Halls with Sparkling Ornaments! 🎄

Posted in Christmas, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Welcome to Day 4 of my 12 Days of Christmas series! Today, we’re turning up the holiday cheer with a project that’s as quick and simple as it is beautiful. We’re creating Christmas ornaments that are perfect for decking your cards—or even adorning gifts!

This festive creation features some of my favorite key products: the Take a Bow Designer Series Paper, the Berry Burst, Old Olive & White 12” x 12” Glimmer Specialty Paper, and the Frozen Edges Bundle. Together, these items make it easy to create ornaments that shimmer and shine with holiday magic. Let’s get started!

How to Make Sparkling Ornaments

First, I cut the Take a Bow Designer Series Paper into 3” x 3” squares. The festive patterns make a perfect base for our ornaments, and this size is just right for punching and layering with additional sparkle.

Next, I grabbed the white paper from the Glimmer Specialty Paper pack and cut it into 6” x 3” strips. Using the Frozen Edges Bundle, I die-cut icicles from these strips. Here’s the fun part: you get two icicle pieces with each cut—top and bottom both work beautifully! To make them easier to use, I cut these in half again, creating 3” strips.

I glued the 3” glimmer icicle strips to the top of each 3” x 3” designer paper square, instantly adding a frosty sparkle that perfectly complements the holiday patterns. With the layers ready, I took out my trusty 2 3/8” Circle Punch and punched out the ornament shapes. The result? Gorgeous ornaments adorned with sparkling icicles that are quick and easy to create!

You will complete your card by attaching your ornaments to the front which boasts more of the Take a Bow Designer Series Paper. My Merry greeting comes from the Christmas Labels Bundle. How cute is this card!

Don’t forget, many of these items—like the Frozen Edges Bundle—are on the Last Chance List, so grab them before they’re gone.

I hope today’s project has inspired you to add a little extra sparkle to your holiday cards. Be sure to check back tomorrow for Day 5 of my 12 Days of Christmas series. Until then, happy crafting and happy holidays! 🎅✨

Day 2 of 12 Days of Christmas: Peaceful Painted Trees with a Touch of Pearl

Posted in Christmas, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Welcome to Day 2 of my 12 Days of Christmas celebration! Today, I’m thrilled to share a card that combines elegance with ease. This design features the stunning Painted Trees 3-D Embossing Folder, the Peaceful Season Bundle, and introduces the dazzling Pearlized Enamel Effects – Basics. This card was a hit with my Stamp Club, where members enjoyed learning the step-by-step process to create it. Now it’s your turn to dive in and see just how simple it is to bring this beautiful design to life!

Christmas cards hold a special kind of magic, and the Painted Trees 3-D Embossing Folder delivers that magic effortlessly. The intricate trees scene provides a textured backdrop, setting the stage for a serene, peaceful holiday message. Pairing it with the Peaceful Season Bundle—complete with coordinating stamps and dies—adds layers of charm. To top it off, the Pearlized Enamel Effects add just the right amount of shimmer, and truly highlighting our trees.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Card Base:
    Night of Navy: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored and folded at 4 1/4″. Attach 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White to the inside / stamp sentiment if desired.
  2. Basic White / Embossed Trees:
    Cut to 3 3/4″ x 5 1/2″. Using the Painted Trees embossing Folder, place your white cardstock in the center of the folder and “center” the largest tree to be the focal point of your card.
  3. Add Pearlized Details:
    Now for the fun part! Using a Sponge Dauber, lightly tap the Pearlized Enamel Effects onto your trees to add delicate covering on them, truly highlighting the beautiful detail of the embossing folder. Set aside and let dry while you continue.
  4. Gold Foil Mat::
    The Gold mat is 4″ x 5 1/2″. Using the “detailed” CHRISTMAS die from the Peaceful Season Bundle, you will place this in the center of the Gold Mat and die cut your greeting. At this time, using a scrap piece of Night of Navy… cut the coordinating Mat / Bold CHRISTMAS die. Adhere the two die cut pieces together with glue, and don’t forget the dot for your “i”.
  5. Assemble the Card:
    Begin by layering your greeting over the embossed trees. Add “MERRY” at this time. Now place your embossed tree piece over the Gold Mat. Now is the perfect time to add the beautiful Night of Navy and Gold Glitter Ribbon to your piece. Once you’ve added your bow, attach this assembly to your card base. You can adhere directly or add Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up.
  6. .Embellish:
    This will complete your card! I added the Gold Textured Adhesive Backed Dots. Feel free to use any of your favorite embellishments… I just wanted to stick with the GOLD and NAVY theme, as it’s so elegant.

This card was a joy to make and a delight to give. The combination of texture, elegant embossing, and that touch of pearly shine creates a timeless holiday greeting that anyone would cherish.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the Step by Step Instructions and feel inspired to give this card and the Enamel paint technique a try. The Painted Trees 3-D Embossing Folder and Peaceful Season Bundle are must-haves for your holiday crafting, and the Pearlized Enamel Effects truly elevate your designs.
