Simply Sunday: Simply Beautiful Traditions of Christmas

Posted in Birthday, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

There’s something magical about crafting on a Sunday morning—especially when we blend the classic beauty of Christmas with a fresh, modern twist. Today’s project is all about celebrating the Simply Beautiful Traditions of Christmas using the gorgeous Traditions of Christmas Suite, but with a little unexpected flair… PINK! Yes, pink is everywhere this year—Halloween, fall décor, and now Christmas cards. And honestly? I’m here for it!

I began with a soft Bubble Bath card base measuring 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. Clean, simple, perfect. For the card front, I trimmed a piece to 4″ x 5-1/4″ and ran it through the Peaceful Greenery Embossing Folder. This embossed frame is everything—delicate leaves, soft texture, and a beautiful focal point that sets the stage for the entire card.

Inside that embossed frame, I heat embossed the sentiment in gold embossing powder, using the “Just for You” from the Traditional Labels Stamp Set. Even though this suite leans into Christmas, this sentiment gives the card wonderful versatility. With just one phrase, this becomes an all-occasion card wrapped in festive elegance. Perfect for my daughters December 23rd birthday!

For the finishing touch, I die cut one of the stunning floral sprays from the Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Paper. The gold foiling on this collection is absolutely breathtaking, and layering that spray along the embossed frame instantly elevated the card—no stamping required!

As I look at the finished card, I’m thinking it could use just a sprinkle more sparkle… maybe a few of the Traditional Sparkling Sequins to catch the light and add that extra holiday charm.

If you’re loving today’s Simply Sunday project, imagine the endless combinations you can create with the Traditions of Christmas Suite. From quick & elegant cards like this one to rich, traditional holiday creations—it’s truly a suite that does it all, without overwhelm.

Wishing you a creative and peaceful Sunday, my friends. 💗✨

Autumn Toile Magic: Create a Showstopping Background

Posted in Fall / Autumn, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I hope you enjoyed my Simply Sunday cards! Today, we’re stepping things up a notch and highlighting one of the real gems in the Autumn Toile Suite—the ornate background die found in the Amber Autumn Bundle. Honestly, this die was the first thing that caught my eye when I opened the suite, and once you see it in action, you’ll understand why. It’s a showstopper!

This intricate background die creates a stunning, leaf-patterned backdrop that instantly elevates your card designs. The beauty of it is you don’t need to fuss with multiple layers or complicated layouts—just one pass through your die-cutting machine and you’ve got a card front that looks elegant, rich, and detailed.

For today’s card, I started with a Very Vanilla card base to keep things simple. The magic happens when you pair it with the Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper, included right in the suite. I ran the background die through with this paper, and the result is an absolutely gorgeous metallic leaf layer that shimmers and shines. To finish it off, I heat-embossed my greeting in Bronze Metallic Embossing Powder—and die cut with the Textured Notes Dies—so everything ties together beautifully.

Imagine this same design layered over a patterned background from the Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper—wow! The possibilities are endless, and the die does all the heavy lifting for you. That’s the brilliance of this suite: simple stamping and die-cutting turn into cards that look intricate and professional.

If you’re looking to add elegance and ease to your fall crafting, the Autumn Toile Suite is a must-have. With the Amber Autumn Bundle, metallic specialty papers, and coordinating accessories, you’ll have everything you need to create cards that impress without stress. Today’s card is just the beginning—I have more to share with you soon, so stay tuned!

Let me know what you think … comment below, and thanks for stopping by today!

Heartfelt Creations: Exploring the Heart Shaped Bundle / Day 2

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Sale-a-bration by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Yesterday, I shared my video and one of the three beautiful cards I created using the Heart Shaped Bundle. Today, I am excited to share the other two designs with you and highlight just how versatile and stunning this bundle is. This item is an absolute must-have, and during Sale-a-bration, you can earn it for FREE! However … I just heard it’s been marked “Low Inventory”.

The Heart Shaped Stamp Set is a heartfelt and creative tool that lets you send messages of love and gratitude in style. This set features sentiments like “My Thoughts of You,” “Thank You,” and “Hello,” making it perfect for Valentine’s Day, friendships, thank-you notes, or any occasion where a little extra love is needed. The floral heart stamp is beautifully detailed and can stand alone as a focal point or complement your sentiments perfectly. Coordinating dies make it easy to highlight the stamped images, add dimension, and create stunning focal points by layering the delicate heart for an eye-catching finish.

Today’s card is layers of the beautiful Floral Delight Designer Series paper which is covered with cheerful flowers in yellow and a nice textured piece with a checked pattern across them both to give the card a warm and welcoming feel.

The floral heart image was stamped using a Old Olive ink and the die cut heart was done in the same color. I chose the “My Heart Loves Your Heart” sentiment, stamping it in Old Olive making everything coordinate, and tie it all together.

The flower was die cut from the same checkered strip of designer paper to make it pop against the green. To elevate that warm and welcoming fell, I added a few of the new Antique Pearls. This card is perfect for sending heartfelt thoughts to a loved one, especially when paired with a handwritten note inside.

For the last card, I wanted to highlight the coordinating dies to add texture and dimension. I started with the Basic White color for the card base. The intricate heart shape was die-cut in three different colors; Basic White, Silver Foil and Soft Sea Foam, and layered creating a stunning 3D effect.

The background was embossed with the Fern 3-D Embossing Folder to create a soft texture. The “Just Because I Care” sentiment fit was tucked inside the heart, and I heat-embossed it in Silver for a touch of shine. The layered hearts and embossed sentiment creates a simply elegant card brimming with texture.

This beautiful card could easily be sent as a Wedding, Anniversary, Birthday … any occasion really, just by swapping out the sentiment.

The Heart Shaped Bundle is one of the most versatile tools you can add to your crafting collection. Whether you’re making Valentine’s Day cards, thank-you notes, or just sending a simple hello, this bundle has everything you need to create heartfelt, handmade projects. The mix of detailed florals and timeless sentiments ensures you’ll use it over and over again. And the best part? You can earn this bundle for FREE during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying purchase! Don’t miss your chance to own this beautiful set and start creating your own masterpieces. But remember … it’s Low Inventory right now!

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~ As we continue our journey through the enchanting world of crafting with the Most Adored Specialty Designer Paper, today marks the 4th day of exploration. In this blog post, my spotlight hues for the day are the rich Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce. The floral patterns of the paper come to life as we unleash the magic of Stampin’ Blends. The Pansy Patch stamp set takes center stage for a heartfelt sentiment, while the Stitched with Whimsy Dies add a touch of whimsical charm. Let’s take a look at today’s creation! 

I thought it would add some excitement by highlighting my paper with the Double Box Fold, a fun fold that lays flat in the envelope for mailing. The Most Adored Specialty Designer Paper, in the pretty floral pattern, becomes a canvas for creativity. Using Stampin’ Blends in Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce, infuse vibrant hues into the delicate blooms.

For the sentiment, I chose the Pansy Patch stamp set, which offers a perfect blend of grace and sentimentality. Stamp a heartfelt message onto the card, and then use the Stitched with Whimsy Dies to frame and highlight the sentiment. The intricate stitching adds a touch of sophistication, making the sentiment a visual focal point on the card.

Here are the Measurements:

Colored Base: 4 1/4″ x 9 1/2″. Score at 6″, 6 1/2″, 8″ and 9″

I’m covering Cute and Classy Easter Cards today!

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, VIDEO by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I’m sharing two quick & easy Easter Cards; a Cute and a Classy!! You can enjoy watching the replay of last nights Facebook LIVE and then I’ll share the cards close-up and personal!! lol

I started with the Quick & Cute Easter Card and the Enjoy the Adventure Memories and More card kit and envelopes and paired it up with the Rain or Shine Specialty Designer paper.

I did tuck a small Stampin’ Dimensional under my bunnies foot so he is popped up pretty good. There is a lot of texture and dimension on this card, even though it is a simple layout.

I forgot to mention in the video that the Rain or Shine is a “Specialty” paper, and it’s easy to see the embossed areas of my bunny. This paper is so cute and can be used for so much more than a “rainy” card … Easter!! Who knew!

If you would like to see more card samples from the Enjoy the Adventure then just CLICK HERE

Now let’s move on to our Quick -n- Classy card!

You have simplicity of this design and a great paper saving tip by cutting out your butterfly from the gold foil piece underneath the designer paper. I used the “Easter Blessings” stamp from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set … you can always use what you have in your stash!!

Another simple layout but with so much beautiful dimension and a bit of added texture from embossing our greeting in gold.

So glad you decided to stop on by today and take a look … hey, invite your friends to check out my blog as well. Love to share my creations and inspire as many as I can.

Have a great day ~

Easy Heat Embossed Birthday Card

Posted in Birthday, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have a beautiful card for you! It’s an easy heat embossed birthday card that will WOW your friends and family. I created this with the Artfully Composed Suite. Yes, the same stamp set and dies that I just announced a New Class with.

This stunning beauty was done in Evening Evergreen (one of our in colors) and embossed in Gold. I took the basic card base cut at 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ the scored and folded at 4-1/4″ and stamped the front of it with the leaves using the Evening Evergreen ink. I love color on color as it adds a nice richness to the card, and gives it dimension by just stamping.

Next, I used the VersaMark ink to stamp the leaves all over the Evening Evergreen front (5″ x 3-3/4″) and then covered it with Gold Embossing powder, tapped off the excess and heat embossed until it was a beautiful, shiny gold!!

Once embossed, I layered it onto a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Gold Foil paper. I usually cut out leaves or the mat for my greeting out of the center of the gold as not to waste any (can’t see that part anyway!!

Then I stamped my greeting in Evening Evergreen on a piece of scrap and then cut it out. You can use dies or punches if you prefer. I layered it with a piece of Evening Evergreen and cut to match and then popped it up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish off the card, I added some of the beautiful Gold dots from the Brushed Metallic Dots. I appreciate you stopping by my blog!

I hope I inspired you to pull out your heat gun again and do some embossing, or better yet … join my class on June 16th (Find Details Here) and discover all you can do with this amazing suite of products. Today we just touched the surface with our Easy Heat Embossed Birthday Card!

Thanks again for stopping by! Linda

Color Your Season Wishes …

Posted in Promotions / Deals by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have a beautiful autumn card filled with color and a touch of Gold … oh so pretty.  This is just one of the cards that we created in my Color Your Season Class. I am head over heels with this bundle because there is so much possibility and so many occasions you can create.

This amazing bundle will cover every season and is perfect for Birthday’s, Christmas, Thank You, and even Weddings!

My card today brings on the warmth of the Autumn season and is the perfect card to share with “your” person, the friend that is always there for you …

The leaves were stamped with the VersaMark pad and heat embossed with Gold Embossing powder.  The amazing color in the leaves comes from the new Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen… simple yet stunning!  You could also use your Aqua Painter with the Watercolor Pencils and create a “softer” look.

The Watercolor Pencils and the Color Your Season bundle are only available through August 31st, 2018 or while supplies last! Tomorrow I will be sharing a “Reflection of the Seasons” which will highlight all of the cards that I’ve shared so far and another NEW Creation for you!

Today’s card was done on Very Vanilla, embossed with Gold and backed with Gold Foil Paper.  The beautiful greeting comes with this amazing stamp set and was also heat embossed in Gold …

As the leaves gently fall you will notice that we began with our greens and slowly adding Crushed Curry … then Cajun Craze and finally the Cherry Cobbler – just like the color changes in the fall. I wanted to add a gold leaf just to highlight the gold and pull everything together (plus it’s really pretty).

It really didn’t take long to color and blend on the card and it was very relaxing … brings you back to the days when you were a kid and your Mom gave you a coloring book to keep you busy on a rainy day. We don’t seem to take advantage of that type of downtime … now you can relax and create beautiful cards that will bring joy to a friend. Life doesn’t get better than that.

I thank you for stopping by today and spending some time with me. Stop back tomorrow for a “Reflection of the Seasons” which will highlight all of the “Color Your Seasons” cards that I’ve shared so far and another NEW Creation for you!

Have a beautiful day and share a smile with a friend.

Butterfly, Blooms & Birthdays …

Posted in Birthday, Stampin' Retreats, Techniques by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’d like to share one of the cards that our attendee’s made at our 2016 Annual Spring Retreat. My goal for our projects is to share different ways that you can use your stamp sets and accessories so they create a better value for you.

Today’s card truly demonstrates that goal …

000_3325

The Bloomin’ Love bundle was one of the stamp sets and accessories that we highlighted at this retreat and we used the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits Die in a very different way! We used it as a pattern behind our butterfly!

Using the beautiful Wisteria Wonder cardstock for our card front, we cut out our butterfly shape from the Bold Butterfly Framelits, and then tucked the beautiful lace heart behind it.

(Don’t forget what I told you about bundles … current bundles will not be bundled in the upcoming catalog. Save 15% by purchasing your bundles before May 31st) Please use Hostess Code: HEESBTSZ

We embossed our birthday greeting from the stunning Rose Wonder stamp set (also has a bundle)

We also embossed the flowers which come from the Grateful Bunch stamp set (another bundle) and added them to our card. The flowers were attached at different heights by popping some up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

000_3330

Oh yes we did … we added a strip of the rhinestones to create our butterfly! Each of our flower centers also got a rhinestones! In fact, our attendee’s could add as much as they wanted because they each got a full package of rhinestones included in there projects bag.

So … did we inspire you to become creative with your framelits and thinlits? They are so much fun to play with.

Thank you for stopping by ~

Have a beautiful day!

Simply Sunday: Happy Birthday

Posted in 2016 Occasions Catalog, Birthday, Techniques by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today we will keep it short and simple … I know many of you are preparing for your Super Bowl parties!

So let’s begin with our beautiful stamp set “Helping Me Grow” and the hyacinth flower. I chose Perfect Plum and Whisper White for my color combination … simple.

000_3114

I heat embossed the hyacinth with the White Emboss powder then highlighted the flower by sponging some ink over the flower. It also creates a bit of a shadow around the blooms. Wipe off any excess ink with a tissue so it does not smear.

The greeting was stamped from the Rose Wonder stamp set … you will also notice that I used the die from the Rose Garden Thinlits Dies. I love that Stampin’ Up! creates their stamp sets to coordinate with each other.

000_3112

Sweet and Simple … don’t we all love cards like this! Thank you for stopping in.

Enjoy your game day, no matter what you are doing!

White Christmas …

Posted in Christmas by

Hello my Stampin’ Friends,

OK … it is officially winter here!  Snow, slippery roads, and cold … I’m ready for spring!  However, I do love Thanksgiving and Christmas so I’ll hold out for those.

My card share today is a beautiful card that we made at our Holiday Retreat this year.   I think it’s my favorite of all the cards and projects we did (I love the look and the bling).

000_0409

As you can see there are many layers here, but all done in Whisper White, which gives it that special look.  We used the “Beautifully Baroque” embossing folder to create some texture.

The “silver” embossed snowflake comes from the “Festive Flurry” stamp set found in the Holiday Catalog and can also be purchased in a bundle with the coordinating framelits.  The snowflake was centered on the stunning “Silver Glimmer” Paper which in now on sale!  Click on any of the highlighted items to see what is included in that stamp set.

Our greeting “Christmas Cheer” comes from the stamp set “Sweet Essentials” found on page 41 of our catalog.  I decides to create a banner for the greeting so it would stand out more.

000_0410

Quite simple and very elegant with some holiday bling, you can see why I love this card.  Hope you enjoyed it as well.

Thanks for stopping by and stay warm.

Hello Stampers ~

Today I am sharing two cards…  Stampin’ Up! is having a sale on some of our most popular stamp sets.  Two of mine, the “Petite Pairs” and “Sweet Essentials” are featured today!

First, is a card that I received as a “swap” from my Star’s team member, Cindy Schneider.   Our Star’s group meets once a month to stamp, swap, share ideas and business tips!  Not to mention … we have fun too.

000_1317

To create this card, we embossed in white, the flower from ” Secret Garden” (pg. 94) and then sponged with “Pretty in Pink” ink.  Although that is one of the discontinued colors … there are plenty of pretty pinks you can use.  The “Oval Collection” framelits (129381 / pg. 186) was used to cut the flower pattern out and frame it with the scallop mat.

Oh  yes, I need to mention the contrasting cardstock is “Early Espresso”… I love the way espresso looks with the pastel colors (try it with Pool Party!)

The card was embellished with the butterflies from the “Beautiful Wings” Embosslit die… these dies emboss onto the butterfly and cut them out for us!  We also have buttons and heart embosslit dies, all are found on page 188 of the NEW Catalog.

000_1316

I’m thrilled to tell you that the fabulous “Petite Pairs” stamp set, one of three that is currently ON SALE!

000_1209

Little stampin’ tip …
