Hi Stampers. If you are looking for a quick and easy card that packs a bit of wow, I have just the card for you! This beautiful but simple card features the Star of Light stamp set and Starlight Thinlit Dies by Stampin’ Up!
This card starts with a Night of Navy card base – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. Next up is a layer of Whisper White CS 5-1/4″ x 4″. Onto this layer, I used Night of Navy ink to stamp the swoosh of stars twice letting it stamp off the edge and the sentiment in the lower right corner.
The coordinating Starlight Thinlit Dies had this awesome start in two pieces. I cut the back out of Night of Navy CS and the front part out of Sparkle Glimmer Paper. The top star was adhered to the bottom one with liquid glue and the bottom star to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The inside of the card has a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White CS. Again, I used the Night of Navy ink and stamped the sentiment in the center and the dotted lines in each corner. This card proves that cards can be simple and still beautiful!

Hi Stampers. Welcome back to my blog. Today we are going to play around with a very popular bundle in the 2018 Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog – Alpine Adventure. I’ve been making cards for a store in Sun Valley and this bundle works perfectly for that little ski town.
This card starts out with a Real Red card base, 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″. Next, this card has an Early Espresso layer, 4″ x 5-1/4″ followed by a layer of Real Red CS 3-3/4″ x 5″. Onto this Real Red layer, I stamped the Buffalo background stamp in Basic Black. I did this on the Stampin’ Up! Stamparatus, so that I could ink it up and stamp it multiple times, giving me a good impression. I stamped the sentiments (from the Merry Christmas to All stamp set) onto Very Vanilla CS scraps in Early Espresso ink. The skis were stamped onto Crumb Cake CS using Soft Suede ink and the ski boot brackets were stamped in Early Espresso ink. I fussy cut around the sentiments and mounted them on scraps of Early Espresso CS and fussy cut around them again.
For the front of the card, the sled, skis and snowshoes were all cut out using the coordinating Alpine Sports Thinlit Dies. The sled and snowshoes are two pieces, a top and bottom, cut out of Crumb Cake and Early Espresso CS. I sponged a little Soft Suede ink onto them to give them a more wooden look. For the sled I used a piece of Gold Cording to make the rope you hold onto and there is a bow made of linen thread on the snowshoes. The snowshoes and sled also have a bit of Wink of Stella on them to simulate snow. The base of the sled, the skis and the bottom snowshoe are all glued to the card front with liquid glue. The top of the sled, the sentiments and the top snowshoe are attached with stampin’ dimensionals.
The inside of the card is lined with a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Very Vanilla CS. Onto that CS, I stamped the snowflake several times in the upper left and lower right corner using Smokey Slate ink. I’m just tickled at how awesome it came out! I hope you love it too! I also hope that you got your hands on this set before it sold out – it’s selling like hot cakes!
If this card inspires you, I would appreciate it if you would leave me a comment. If you don’t have a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – I would love to be YOUR demonstrator!

Hi Stampers. As we creep ever closer to Christmas, the winds have turned cold here in Idaho. With those cold winds a few snow showers have fallen upon us too. It looks beautiful, FROM INDOORS! I dislike driving in the stuff. It still scares this Northern California girl. However, it definitely gives a feel that Christmas is in the air.
I am in love with this color combination. It came out so soft and beautiful. I started with a Bermuda Bay card base, 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. Next I adhered a layer of Coastal Cabana CS that is 5-3/8″ x 4-18″ using liquid glue. I then stamped the snow blizzard onto a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White CS, using stamps from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Blizzard stamp set. The snow blizzard is stamped in Coastal Cabana & Bermuda Bay ink. I would ink and them stamp multiple times before inking again, giving the gradation of color. That layer was then adhered to the card front using liquid glue.
I stamped the greeting onto a small strip of Whisper White CS using Bermuda Bay ink and matted it with a slightly larger piece of Bermuda Bay CS. The sentiment is adhered with stampin’ dimensionals. The snowflakes were cut out of Sparkle Glimmer paper using the Blizzard Thinlit Die and adhered the snowflakes to the card front using mini glue dots. Each snowflake was then topped with a single Rhinestone Basic Jewel.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the snowflakes in upper left and lower right corner of a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White CS. The snowflakes and the sentiment (also from the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set), were stamped with Coastal Cabana ink.
I just can’t get over how beautiful this card is. Stampin’ Up! sure gives us some gorgeous supplies to play with! If you would like to make this card for yourself, I have included links below to my store for all the products used in the making of this card. Don’t forget to leave me a comment!

For today’s card I am once again using this new fold I recently discovered. It’s just too fun and a great way to use our gorgeous Designer Series Papers! This card starts with a Soft Suede card base that is 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″. The Joyous Noel DSP layer is 8″ x 4″, scored at 4″ and 2″ and folded in an “N”.
The top of the card has a 3″ x 4-1/4″ layer of Soft Suede CS, a 2-7/8″ x 4-1/8″ layer of crumb cake and 2-3/4″ x 4″ Very Vanilla CS. Onto the Very Vanilla layer, I stamped the tree in from the Stampin’ Up Winter Woods stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink and sponges some Crumb Cake ink to simulate ground.
Using the deer from the Dashing Deer stamp set, I inked up the deer’s body with Soft Suede ink and the antlers I inked with a Soft Suede marker. I then cut out the deer with the coordinating Detailed Deer Thinlit dies and attached it to the Very Vanilla layer with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The inside of the card has a 3″ x 4-1/4″ layer of Soft Suede CS, a 2-7/8″ x 4-1/8″ layer of crumb cake and 2-3/4″ x 4″ Very Vanilla CS. Onto the Very Vanilla layer, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Winter Woods stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink

Hi Stampers. Welcome to the Pals monthly blog hop. We’re so glad you’re here! December is time for glitz and bling with “All that Sparkles & Shines”. Today we feature projects that sparkle or shine. Maybe even a little of both.
You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
When this blog hop asked for something that Sparkles and Shines, I knew this card had lots of both! This is a custom card in a box that I made for a client. This Blueberry Bushel card in a box was covered in Sparkle Glimmer Paper. She wanted it to say something specific and it was customized to her needs. (That’s why some of the words are blurred out). So, the three side panels were printed from my computer onto Whisper White CS and sponged the edges with Blueberry Bushel ink using a sponge dauber. I then added some snowflakes that were die cut from Sparkle Glimmer Paper using the Big Shot and the Blizzards Thinlit Die. (The blizzard die, just happens to be on sale *wink wink*). A few clear faceted gems added just a little more sparkle and shine.
I stamped the snowmen from the Stampin’ Up! Spirited Snowmen stamp set in Memento Black ink and colored them with the Stampin’ Blends Markers. The snowmen were then fussy cut and adhered to the box using glue dots. I also added a few extra snowflakes around them. The snowflakes are attached to clear acetate strips and the card with glue dots. I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Farmhouse Christmas stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink and cut it out with a circle from the Circles Framelit Dies. Behind that I have a piece of Pacific Point CS that was cut with a scalloped circle from the Circles Framelit Dies. The circles were attached to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
If you are looking for the measurements to all the pieces here, they can be found on this prior post. There you will find a PDF tutorial and a video.
More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s hoppers. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created. Don’t forget to show us some love by commenting on our creations.
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, January 9, 2019 when our Hoppin’ Pals share projects “From the Heart”. Don’t miss the fun.
Hi Stampers. Today I’m making a Christmas Thank You card using the Stampin’ Up! Dashing Deer stamp set and the corner fold technique. Thank you notes seem to have fallen to the wayside and I think they need to come back. Lets make people feel special by sending them a handmade thank you card.
The Cherry Cobbler card base is 11″ x 4 1/4″, scored at 5 1/2″. I then made the corner cuts at 3 1/4″ and folded it over.
On the front of the card I used a 4 1/8″ x 5 5/8″ piece of Mossy Meadow card stock covered by a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Festive Farmhouse designer series paper. In the 3 1/2″ square I added a 3 1/2″ square of Mossy Meadow CS followed by a 3″ x 3″ layer of Very Vanilla CS.
I wrapped some Mossy Meadow ribbon around the card on the left inside and used glue dots to attach it on the inside of the card. Then I made the bow and attached that on the front with glue dots.
I finished it off by adding 3 of the smallest Gold Faceted Gems. (Note: a design tip is to add these sorts of things in odd numbers.)
On the inside of the card is a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ layer of Mossy Meadow followed by a 5 1/4″ x 4″ layer of Very Vanilla CS. I stamped the sentiment and smaller deer (from the Stampin’ Up! Dashing Deer stamp set) in Mossy Meadow ink.
Here is how the square and ribbon look from the inside. I hope this card inspires you to send out a few thank you notes of your own this year!
