Today I am sharing cards I created with the Itty Bitty Christmas and Christmas Layers Dies, and a couple cards from Stampin’ Up! It is amazing how different each card turned out … I wanted to show the different elements of the stamp set and dies to demonstrate how versatile this pair is.
The first card is bursting with holiday flair and is decked out in gold. The floral pattern really highlights the greeting and ties in the gold throughout the card so nicely. The base is Shaded Spruce and the designer paper here is now retired but you could substitute the “Tis the Season” Designer Series paper … it has the pretty plaids too.
Here is another sample that highlights the floral dies cuts … I love these, they actually look more like a metal embellishment than a die cut piece of cardstock!! They also used the die cut image to create a fun background on this card.
My second card is so different from the first in that we have created our own “Shimmer” paper by spritzing the beautiful Seaside Spray from our 2019 – 2021 In Color collection. For a little more sparkle, the snowflakes are cut from the Sparkle Shimmer Paper! But wait … there is one more layer of sparkle when I added the Rhinestones to the snowflakes.
My last card of the three is just simply elegant and done with White and Silver … and yes, graced with a touch of glitter. Instead of die cutting the image and adhering it to the base as I did in the first card, I actually cut it out of the front and used it to impose a second layer to the card… stunning.
I have another samples the highlights the foliage die …
If I didn’t tell you these cards were from the same stamp set and dies … you might not know that they were!!
Thanks for checking in with me today … meet you back here tomorrow for some more samples.
Have some fun today!

Today I’m going to share the Video from my Tuesday night Facebook Live … Yes, I figured out how to upload it into today’s post. For those who could not make the live presentation, I thought you would love to see how easy it is to create the Window Sheet Card ….
I hope you enjoyed the video and the card! So easy to make and so fun to receive such a unique card. I would like to invite YOU to join me next Tuesday for another technique ….
I’ll be back tomorrow with another card featuring the Toile Greetings Designer Series paper … but it won’t be Christmas!!
Today I have an adorable “Window” card to share with you that I created with the In the Woods Dies and the Toile Tidings Designer Series paper (Save 15% through Oct.31st, 2020).
I usually share my Technique Tuesday video with you today but I could not get it to download … but you can check it out on my Linda’s Stampin’ Escape Facebook page.
Let’s begin with dimensions: Start with a 6-3/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of cardstock … I used Garden Green for today’s card. Your cardstock will sit into your paper cutter horizontally (or landscape). You will score at 4-1/4″ and cut at 5-1/2″ … this cut will leave you a 1-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece.
Your window sheet will be cut just shy of 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″. Now, align the 1-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece that was cut off and align it with the bottom of your card. Sliding in your inside layer into your card, you can align it so you can stamp your greeting. The Merry Christmas comes from the exclusive stamp set enclosed in this months Paper Pumpkin.
Once the greeting is stamped and the cardstock is secured inside, we can align the window sheet to the top flap of your card. Then align the 1-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ pieceto the bottom of the card, then secure the window sheet to it.
The Toile Greetings Designer Series paper will then go over the top and bottom pieces (covering them up) and the window will be securely in place … Now it’s time for our tree! The die cut tree is multi-dimensional, once we pulled the branches up, I painted them with Shimmer Paint.
Once the paint dries you can mount your tree onto your card. I did mine with the Mini Dimensionals but you could mount it directly to the card front. As far as our pretty star … that embellishment was voted on by my Facebook Live views last night.
I thank you for joining me today, have a good one!

Today I’m sharing two cards created with the Forever Greenery Designer Series paper. I made these cards for some wonderful ladies who have supported me and my business through orders, clubs, classes or attended retreats … I have more cards on the way!!
I also have some more Mini Catalogs … Who NEEDS one!? If you don’t have a those holiday pages in your hands, please let me know. I’m one of those people who needs it in my hands so I can go over it again, and again!
My first card uses a quarter sheet of the Forever Greenery Designer Series paper … trimmed down an 1/8 of an inch to have a Garden Green mat behind it …
The ribbon is stunning!! It is the Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon. It matches perfectly with the Forever Greenery Designer Series paper because of all the beautiful shades of green in this paper.
My next card began with a 1/4 sheet of another pattern from the designer paper but then cut in half. You will get 24 cards out of your designer paper with this layout …
Along with the pretty paper and beautiful ribbon, I’ve added a touch of texture to this card … the Tasteful Textile embossing folders. It adds such a pretty touch to the card.
The greeting comes from the Forever Fern bundle but the die cut circle comes from the Heartwarming Hugs product suite … you must check it out, it is soo cool.
Hope you have enjoyed my card share today, feel free to leave a comment below. Thank you so much for stopping by ….
Have a great weekend!

Today I’m going to share the “Have a Hoot” stamp set while showing a progression of simply stamping to the avid stamper who wants it all … These cards were created by the home offices of Stampin’ Up!
Let’s begin with our first card …
CASUAL We kept things simple on the first version of this cute card. A few simple layers, a splash of color, ribbon, and a sentiment popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals. This cheerful, little project takes just minutes to make and would be the perfect solution for a casual crafter workshop.
AVID Step up the charming second card by running the tag through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Peek-A-Hoot Dies for a stitched-edge look. Fold the gold-trimmed satin ribbon in half, insert the ends through the hole in the tag, then pull them snugly through the loop at the end of the ribbon. We added a little extra pop to this card with a layer of Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper, some Gold Glitter Enamel Dots, and heat embossing.
STEPPED-UP AVID Our fanciest card is a real hoot. We embossed the card front using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder, adhered die-cut branches, and added a strip of Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper. Perfect!
Whoo wouldn’t love to have a Christmas cardmaking party featuring these cute, outdoorsy cards? We certainly wood . . . er . . . would! Ask me about a “Facebook Virtual Party”!!
I thank you for joining me today, hope your day is good one! Enjoy the kick-off to the weekend ~

This very first box was created with the Forever Greenery Product Suite. The cute little stitched circle die cut comes from the Heartwarming Hugs bundle and the leaves were cut directly from a wreath cut using the Arrange a Wreath Bundle.
Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and join me while I take you step by step creating this simple box …
So easy right? I will also be sharing the dimensions with you, as promised in the video. I thought it would be fun to share the box made in this video along with the card I made in last weeks video. You can find all my videos on my Linda’s Stampin’ Escape YouTube Channel … please subscribe while you are there 🙂
The next little treat box celebrates Christmas … I used the Heartwarming Hugs Product Suite. With so many amazing papers in this package, it was hard to choose one … hope you like it!
The “For You” badge was fun to make … first I stamped it in Real Red on Whisper White and die cut it with this die that cuts out the center as well. The cool die that mats the circle is a fun shape to work with. The tree was stamped in Mossy Meadow on Pear Pizzazz.
I wrapped a ribbon around the top and tied a bow on … you don’t always need a handle!The next treat box I want to share is my Halloween one …
My Oh My … I had fun with this one!! I wrapped the top and created the handle with Pretty Peacock cardstock … along with a piece die cut with the fun shape from the Heartwarming Hugs! Using that die I also cut a piece from the Black Glitter paper… together they make a fun design behind the greeting.
I blinged out the handle with more of the Black Glitter paper and those lovely Iridescent Pearls. The next treat box was created with the same Magic in this Night suite … No handle!
This one was created with the help of the September 2020 Paper Pumpkin. The greeting, the hat, the flower and the mini doily are all from the Paper Pumpkin kit! I’ll be sharing more about the upcoming Paper Pumpkin soon.
Here are the dimensions for our treat / gift box ….
I hope you have enjoyed today’s project share … they were really fun to make. I wasn’t kidding when I said that once you start making them that you’ll want more paper ….
Don’t forget that 15 of our designer papers are 15% Off until the 31st of this month. The deadline is coming up soon. Let me know if you need any help placing your order.
Thank you for joining me today …
Have a wonderful day!

If you are looking for the perfect way to tell someone how much you card, then I have the perfect card for you. Today I have a beautiful card that can express your feelings and warm their heart with a fall bouquet of wild flowers.
This pretty card is just one of the cards created for my Stamp Club. My Clubs meet once each month, but since the Covid outbreak we began communicating virtually… let me know if you are interesting in a club.
The focal point of the card is it’s beautiful greeting … “The best moments in my life happen with you”. It is then highlighted by the spray of greens and flowers.
The flowers and greenery frame the stamped greeting cut with a circle die and layered with the Stitched So Sweetly die … these are then layered onto a “wood” strip of designer series paper.
The card base is Very Vanilla as is the card front which is embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. You can actually attach the designer paper to the card front and emboss with the Subtle folder … the wood designer paper looks amazing embossed!!
Don’t forget to add a little bling! If you can’t find the right color in one of our color packets of rhinestones, color your own … Our Stampin’ Blends will color the Rhinestones to match your projects.
If you would like a FREE PDF file with Step by Step instructions to this card, please message me in the comment section below. And if there are any supplies you need to recreate this card, please consider me as your demonstrator … I will have links below.
Thank you for stopping by to check out my blog today. It made me smile! Have a good day ~

Yesterday I shared the “I Believe” card (shown below) and today I’d like to share another card that I made during World Cardmaking Day using the same simple design.
I began with a Whisper White card base and 4″ x 6″ sheet of the Heartwarming Hugs Designer paper. I scored the designer paper at 5-1/4″ and folded the pretty polka dot side over onto the top of my plaid paper… No cutting!
Instead of using a piece of cardstock, I used another piece of the Heartwarming Hugs designer paper …
These fun designer papers look so great together and add such a fun core to the card. I’ve added the Silver Edge Ribbon to add a touch of bling to the card.
The focal point of my card is the Christmas Means More stamp set …
This is such a fun stamp set and really works well with any of our Holiday Designer Papers.
I did not get my video made yesterday but I will share it with you as soon as it’s done… and I’ll demonstrate how easy the cutting and embellishing the card is.
Thanks for coming back today … I’ll be back tomorrow this another pretty card.

Today I’d like to share a sweet -n- simple card that I made during World Cardmaking Day last weekend. It’s simple design makes it easy to create multiple cards … and with Christmas coming, that’s a good thing!
I began with a Whisper White card base and 4″ x 6″ sheet of the Heartwarming Hugs Designer paper. I scored the designer paper at 5-1/4″ and folded the pretty polka dot side over onto the top of my plaid paper… No cutting!
I found a piece of scrap in Real Red so I used the Wrapped in Texture embossing folder with the dots… I then added the Tulle Polka Dot Ribbon … it adds some fun and dimension to the card.
I used the Pine Tree Punch to punch out my Christmas tree … this piece was “Heat Embossed” with clear embossing powder from a demonstration I did LIVE for my Technique Tuesday on Facebook. Don’t want to waste anything and with the embossed tree, it really highlighted the designer paper on my card.
The greeting comes from the Christmas Means More stamp set. This stamp set was a must have on my Wish List. I BELIEVE … do you?
I hope you enjoyed today’s Simply Sunday card, I will be demonstrating this SIMPLE cardmaking technique tomorrow with yet another version of this card.
Thank you for joining me this Sunday, and I look forward to hanging out with you tomorrow.

Bells are ringing, angels are singing, and the new Joy to the world Paper Pumpkin Kit is coming soon! I’m here today with a friendly reminder that today is the last day to get in on the October Paper Pumpkin kit.
The Joy to the World Paper Pumpkin Kitwas designed to bring people together—connecting them with one another and spreading joy with each other around the world! I think it’s going to be amazing!

You’ve seen my “alternative” cards with the September kit … Here’s a reminder …
I cut apart one of the “cracker” wraps and used it to create my little flower pots … the flowers where there so I made little pots for them! Then I used the scalloped edge as a valance … it is secured directly to the top, and the bottom half is popped up.
Glad you stopped in today, this special offer is for any who purchases one of the subscriptions below …While supplies last

I hope you enjoyed my introduction to the In the Pines Bundle yesterday. This is such a pretty set and can be used for any occasion, who doesn’t love a walk through the pines! Here is a pic of yesterdays cards in case you missed them …
I also shared the directions for these cards yesterday. I love the sentiments on these cards and thought you would love them too! Here is the stamp set and coordinating dies ….
Time to share the beautiful card I have for you today … I’m not really looking forward to snow right now, but I wanted to share how versatile this stamp set is …
You will stamp the trees with the solid tree stamp and cut them out with the open tree die. On Whisper White, stamp the outline tree, emboss it with white emboss powderand watercolor the images with Mint Macaron …. when dry, cut the “detailed” peek through tree die.
They used the wrapped in texture embossing folder for the snow, and heat embossed the falling snow. The Snowflake Sequins add a lovely touch to the falling snow (background is Pool Party).
The greeting is stamped on Crumb Cake and punched out with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. There is a piece of Shaded Spruce behind it to make it pop! Such a pretty and serene card.
Thank you so very much for taking a stroll over to my blog today. I appreciate it and wish you a wonderful day today ~
