Runner-Up Spotlight – Jolly Holly Bundle Beauty! 🎄

Posted in Christmas, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

It’s time to celebrate our Runner-Up in the Fall Stamping Retreat Attendee Swap Contest — the talented Toni Morgan! 🌟

Toni created this stunning Christmas card using the Jolly Holly Bundle, and oh my goodness… it’s SO Christmas! 🎅💚 You all know how much I love holly — it’s one of those timeless images that just says “holiday season” to me, and Toni captured that beautifully.

She started with a Cherry Cobbler card base, then embossed the front with the coordinating Jolly Holly Hybrid Embossing Folder. This folder is really special — it’s one of those unique tools where a die fits inside the folder so you can cut and emboss at the same time! Talk about a timesaver that adds an instant wow factor!

Toni layered her design with a Very Vanilla mat, perfectly framing the card front and her greeting (stamped in Cherry Cobbler, of course!). One of the things my customers love most about Stampin’ Up! is the color coordination — the way ink, paper, and embellishments all match beautifully — and Toni showcased that perfectly here.

For her focal point, Toni used the two rectangular dies from the bundle — one to cut into the Cherry Cobbler layer, exposing the Very Vanilla beneath so she could stamp her sentiment, and the other to create a delicate gold frame that she layered around it. Such a clever design element! ✨

To complete her card, she stamped, colored, and die-cut the holly to adorn her framed sentiment, creating that festive finishing touch. And because Toni has an amazing eye for detail, she added the Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries to her embossed background — giving her card texture, shine, and even more Christmas cheer. 🎁

This bundle was one of our Spotlight Sessions during retreat, so not only did attendees receive Toni’s beautiful swap card, but they also got to create three additional cards I designed to showcase the highlights of this wonderful bundle.

Toni’s card truly captures the joy and elegance of the holiday season — full of texture, color, and creativity. It’s no wonder she took home Runner-Up honors in our Attendee Swap Contest! 🏆❤️

I’ll be back tomorrow with our WINNER and her card. Thanks for stopping by!

🎄 Jolly Holly Bundle – Ring in Christmas in July!

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Are you ready to ring in the holidays with the enchanting Jolly Holly Bundle? 🎄 I’ve got another video — and 2 brand-new cards — to inspire your holiday crafting!

This delightful collection includes a stunning stamp set, a versatile hybrid embossing folder, and coordinating dies that work together to create festive magic. Whether you’re crafting holiday cards, gift tags, or even seasonal décor, the Jolly Holly Bundle is a must-have for your Christmas in July projects (and beyond!).

✨ Card #1: Ringing in the Holidays
For my first project, I wanted to use the stamps from the bundle – and choose the bells! The bells were colored with the Smoky Slate and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends…. then added some Wink of Stella for sparkle.

The bells were popped on to decorative circles die cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies, layered onto a strip of “Season of Elegance” Designer paper … and a background created with the Soft Waves embossing folder …

✨ Card #2: Elegant Holly in Vanilla
Now for a simple yet stunning card. For the second card, I used the Hybrid Embossing Folder again — with two simple techniques, embossing and then the emboss / cut and fussy cutting the holly out to create simple embellishments.

🎄 Christmas in July with the Jolly Holly Bundle!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Get ready to deck your halls — and your craft table — with the enchanting Jolly Holly Bundle! This delightful collection features a stunning stamp set, a versatile embossing folder, and coordinating dies that work together to create festive magic. Whether you’re crafting holiday cards, gift tags, or even seasonal décor, this bundle is a must-have for your Christmas in July projects (and beyond!).

✨ Card #1: Classic & Elegant with Old Olive
For my first project, I pulled out the Old Olive Two-Tone Cardstock from the Wildflower Celebrations Two-Tone cardstock and ran it through the Jolly Holly Hybrid Embossing Folder. The texture this creates is simply beautiful — crisp holly leaves with rich detail that instantly say “holiday elegance.”

The technique of using the sanding block to expose the white core, is what transforms the cardstock and our card. Coloring the berries with the Stampin’ Blends adds yet another level of holiday delight …

✨ Card #2: The Magic of the Hybrid Embossing Folder + Die
Now for a little crafting magic! For the second card, I used the Hybrid Embossing Folder again — but this time paired it with the coordinating die. The result? A dimensional, cut-and-embossed design that practically leaps off the cardstock. It’s the perfect way to step up your card designs and impress anyone who receives them. And I did this by cutting apart the cardstock and using the holly to embellish my card ….
