At last month’s Shoebox Swap, I was able to make this beautiful Free Skate card. The purpose of the swap was for demonstrators to make and share projects from the Holiday Catalog. We each brought all the precut materials to use for stamping and assembling our design. This allowed us to create a variety of cards in just a couple of hours . Today’s card uses the Free Skate Bundle. The bundle includes the Free Skate Cling Stamp Set and the Detailed Skate Dies. The card also showcases the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper. I would like to thank the card designer, Jamie Lavender, for the beautiful layout and product selection. Isn’t it gorgeous?
Card Details:
Card base is Pretty Peacock (8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored and folded at 4-1/4″).
For the next layer, cut a piece of Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper 5-1/4″ x 4″. Attach to the card base using Snail Adhesive.
Use the Detailed Skate Dies to cut the skate. The skate base and ties are cut from Pretty Peacock cardstock. The lacy pattern on the skate uses Whisper White cardstock and the skate blades are Gold Foil paper. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or the Fine Tip Glue Pen to attach the layers to the skate base.
Stamp the sentiment using Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pad onto a 3-1/2″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the Holly. Color the holly leaves with the Dark Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends.
Cut the sentiment piece using the Stitched Labels Dies and attach to the card base with Snail Adhesive.
Add Red Rhinestones to the berries on the holly.
Finish the card by adding the skate to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Are you looking for a simple Halloween Card to make? This card has you covered! The beauty of the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper are the wonderful designs to use on craft creations. Notice the Designer Series Paper panel on the card below? It’s a bookshelf with interesting book titles and is one of my favorite papers from the package. With the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder, you can easily take your card “up a notch” by adding texture to one of the card layers.
Card Details:
Card Base is Terracotta Tile cardstock (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″) score and fold at 4-1/4″.
Cut a Basic Black layer 4″ x 5-1/4″. Attach to the Terracotta Tile card base with Snail Adhesive.
Using a 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Crushed Curry cardstock, texture embellish using the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder. Attach a 5″ x 2″ piece of Monster Mash Designer Series Paper to the lower half of the texture embossed Crushed Curry cardstock. Before adding to the Basic Black layer, wrap Basic Black Scalloped Edge Ribbon across the card front where the Designer Series Paper and Crushed Curry cardstock meet. (refer to photo)
Punch the girl ghoul image from the Monster Mash Designer Series Paper with the 2″ circle punch. Add to top of the card using Snail Adhesive.
Complete the card front by stamping the sentiment from the Spooktacular Bash Stamp Set with Memento black onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and cut with the coordinating Ornate Frames Dies. Attach to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a couple of the Monster Bash Enamel Shapes as an embellishment around the sentiment.
See how simple it is to make this card! The only stamping is for the sentiment.

Do you love project kits? If so, you’re going to love the Christmas Countdown Project Kit by Stampin’ Up! This Christmas craft kit let’s you create your own hand-crafted advent décor. You can fill the boxes with small gifts, and let the countdown begin! The kit includes enough supplies to create 25 mini boxes and has a sturdy outer box to hold them all. The Christmas Countdown Stamp Set is used to complete the holiday themed project and is sold separately. The project colors includes Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow, Whisper White with Gold Foil to add some shine! Be sure to watch the short video below as Natalie showcases the project kit.
But wait! Though the project kit is called Christmas Countdown, it’s not just for Christmas.
Isn’t it a great idea for storing embellishments? In my craft room, numerous methods have been tried for embellishment storage. Yet, the system currently in use still does not allow me to see purchased embellishments. You know the saying – out of sight, out of mind! Which means embellishments are forgotten and thus not used enough. Therefore, I my recent order includes an extra Christmas Countdown Project Kit to use for embellishment storage. I look forward to it arriving and will share the finished project in a future blog.
Other uses include decorating the reverse side of the boxes for other holiday themes such as Easter is Coming. Or perhaps, use as a Birthday Countdown. What other uses can you think of?
Be sure to place your order for the Christmas Countdown Project Kit before it becomes Sold Out! You can order below in the Project Materials section.

It’s time to lift up our cups and celebrate the Cup of Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set in the Stampin’ Up! 2019 Holiday Catalog! The celebration is for the patent pending Reversibles stamp set. It includes specialized photopolymer stamps that allow you to stamp with both sides of the stamp for greater versatility. The Cup of Christmas stamp set and coordinating Cup of Cheer Dies are available separately or for a savings of 10% can be purchased in the Cup of Christmas bundle. The Cup of Christmas Stamp set includes 15 photopolymer stamps but with the reversible stamps, it’s like having two extra stamps added. There are 13 dies including mugs, candy canes, holly and more in the set of Cup of Cheer dies.
In the video below, Brian showcases the new Cup of Christmas photopolymer stamp technology.
Having recently received the stamps, I can attest that it’s wonderful to be able to stamp reverse images. It opens the door to greater creativity. I’ll be sharing projects using the Cup of Cheer Bundle soon.
Spread tidings of comfort and joy and a cup of cheer to all your friends and family this season with the Cup of Christmas Stamp Set and Cup of Cheer Dies.

It’s such fun to give small “thinking of you” gifts and the 3″ x 6″ gusseted cellophane bags from Stampin’ Up! are the perfect size for such purpose. Naturally, the gift bag needs a gift tag and the one on the project below is quick and easy. This project is perfect for using up scraps of cardstock. Since we’re celebrating the arrival of Fall soon, leaves in Fall colors are used to embellish the tag. The Gather Together Bundle includes the Gather Together Stamp Set and the Gathered Leaves Dies. Can you see the dimension in the leaves? The dies not only cut but emboss! Details for creating the tag are listed below the project photo.
Card Details:
To create tag base, cut a 1-1/2″ x 3″ piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock. On one end of the cardstock, use the Delightful Tag Topper Punch to create the tag. Use the corner rounder section on the Detailed Trio Punch to round the edges on the opposite end of the tag.
On the tag, stamp the large leaf from the Gather Together Stamp Set using Pear Pizzazz Classic Stampin’ Pad.
Next, use the three leaves dies to cut a leaves from scraps of Merry Merlot, Pretty Peacock and Cajun Craze cardstock. One leaf in each color was cut. TIP: By first lightly spritzing the cardstock with water and then cutting with the dies. The embossed impression is much deeper. Plus when the cardstock dries, the edges of the leaves curl just as Fall leaves curl.
While the leaves are drying, stamp the sentiment from the Parcels and Petals Stamp Set (in the Annual Catalog) onto the tag using Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad.
Once the cut leaves are dry, sponge Golden Glitz Delicata Metallic Ink onto each leaf. Layer the leaves onto the tag below the sentiment using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
After adding your treats to the 3″ x 6″ cellophane bag, fold top over approximately 3/4″ and secure with a staple. Fold 3″ x 2″ piece of Come to Gather Designer Series Paper in half and secure to the bag by using Snail Adhesive on each side of fold. (you are sandwiching the bag top inside the Designer Series Paper)
Finish by adding the gift tag to the bag with Mini Stampin Dimensionals and add a Cajun Craze Linen Thread bow using a mini glue dot.

Since Labor Day has come and gone, it signals the transition from summer into fall celebrations. So despite having temperatures near 100 this week, the monthly card class theme was projects focusing on Fall and Halloween. One such project is a Halloween card. It features products from the Monster Bash product bundle. The Monster Bash Suite is full of coordinating products that will help you prepare for fun Halloween festivities. Today’s card features the Spooktacular Bash Stamp Set, the Ornate Frames Dies, the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder and the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper. You can purchase the entire Monster Bash Suite (Item #153485). It includes all the materials on the featured card plus the Coffin Treat Boxes, Basic Black Scalloped Edge Ribbon and Monster Bash Enamel Shapes. Or if you prefer, the Spooktacular Bash Stamp Set and the coordinating Ornate Frames can be purchased in the Spooktacular Bash Bundle.
Card Details:
To form card base, cut Terracotta Tile cardstock (5-1/2″ x 11″, score and fold at 4-1/4″).
The next layer is Crushed Curry cardstock (5-1/4″x 4″). To texture emboss the panel, use the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder. Attach to the Terracotta Tile card base using Snail Adhesive.
On Very Vanilla cardstock, stamp the sentiment and the vampire using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. TIP: Use the Stamparatus when stamping (especially for the vampire) so you can double stamp to get a complete stamped image. After stamping, cut the shapes using the Ornate Frames Dies. Also, cut a scroll frame from Terracotta Tile cardstock. Attach the vampire to the scroll using Snail Adhesive.
Cut a 2-7/8″x 2-7/8″ square of the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper. Attach it to a 3″ x 3″ square of Basic Black cardstock with Snail Adhesive. Wrap black ribbon around the square and tie into a knotted bow. Adhere to the card front using adhesive.
Finish card front by adding the vampire scroll and sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To complete the look, stamp the envelope and the card interior with some of the fun stamps from the Spooktacular Bash Stamp Set!
