Oct 19, 2020 | August-December 2020 Mini Catalog, Banner Year, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Dies, Plaid Tidings, Stitched Leaves |
One of the card’s in today’s to-go card class features a Plaid Stitched Leaf. I’m loving the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper. Though the name implies Christmas, the wide array of colors makes it perfect for a variety of occasions. The colors selected from the plaid design for the class card features Cinnamon Cider and Mango Melody. The plaid stitched leaf pulls the design together. With the many plaid designs, you have a range of color selections to use.
Project Materials:
- Cinnamon Cider Cardstock (4-1/4” x 11”, score at 5-1/2” and fold for card base)
- Whisper White Cardstock (2 pcs: 4” x 5-1/4”; ½” x 3” for banner label)
- Mango Melody Cardstock (5” x 3-3/4”)
- Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (3” x 3”)
- Banner Year Stamp Set
- Cinnamon Cider Classic Ink Pad
- Pick A Banner Punch
- Cinnamon Cider ¼” In Color Ribbon (3-1/4”)
- Stitched Leaves Dies
Directions:
- Adhere a piece of the 4” x 5-1/4” Whisper White cardstock to the Cinnamon Cider card base.
- Using the large stitched leaf die (and the center of the leaf); cut a stitched leaf on the upper portion of the Mango Melody cardstock.
- Add the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper piece to the back of the Mango Melody so that it’s framed by the leaf cutout. Adhere to the Whisper White layer on the card base.
- Using the banner punch, create a banner label using the strip of Whisper White cardstock.
- Stamp the “with a grateful heart” sentiment from the Banner Year Stamp Set onto the banner label using the Cinnamon Cider Classic Ink Pad.
- Add the Cinnamon Cider ribbon to the card front centered in the area below the leaf cutout. Attach the sentiment banner atop the ribbon using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- For the card interior, add the stitched leaf to the Whisper White cardstock.
Change the plaid pattern, the base colors and the leaf die used and you’ll have a variety of cards! It’s easy to quickly create a card set for gifting (or keeping for yourself to use).

It’s a new month and to kick it off, we have the October 3D Tutorial Bundle & Blog Hop! We have the talented Patti Dolan joining us again as a guest designer. In addition to the tutorial bundle, the design team is featuring a blog hop. We’re each sharing a second project created using the same products to coordinate with our tutorial project. You’ll find the blog hop links at the bottom of this post. This month, the team is highlighting autumn.
Remember, the projects designed for the 3D bundle tutorials aren’t available elsewhere online. Therefore, you’ll receive EXCLUSIVE projects in the tutorial bundle. In addition, we’re including both Imperial and Metric measurements for each project.
Starting next month, the 3D Bundle Tutorial Design Team is moving the date for our post to the 10th of each month. So mark your calendar! With the change, this month’s tutorial is available for purchase until November 10, 2020.
Now for a Sneak Peek of the October 3D projects…
You’re going to love these autumn themed projects in the October 3D Tutorial Bundle.
Here’s my bonus project to coordinate with my October 3D tutorial project and features the Love of Leaves Bundle.
Card Details:
- Create a card base with Early Espresso cardstock (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score & fold at 4-1/4″).
- Next, add a Very Vanilla cardstock layer (5-1/8″ x 4″).
- Cut two strips of Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (1= 3/8″ x 5-1/4″ and 1=3/8″ x 4″). Attach the two strips to the Very Vanilla cardstock layer with each approximately 1″ from the side and bottom of the cardstock. The strips will intersect.
- Stamp the sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set using Early Espresso Classic Ink Pad onto a 2″ square of Very Vanilla cardstock. Cut using a stitched circle die from the Stitched Shapes Dies. Sponge along the edge of the circle with Early Espresso Classic Ink Pad.
- To stamp the leaves: first ink the leaf stamps from the Love of Leaves Stamp Set with Old Olive Classic Ink Pad. Then using a sponge dauber, dab Terracotta Tile Classic Ink along tips and partially along the sides of leaves. With another sponge dauber, dab Bumblebee Classic Ink in the center and along part of the leaf edges below the Terracotta Tile. (Note: it is difficult to see where you’ve dabbed the ink on the stamp but there’s “no wrong” way. Think of how leaves look when changing colors – no two are alike. ) After daubing the inks, stamp leaves onto a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and cut with the coordinating Stitched Leaves Dies.
- Using the second largest leaf die from the Stitched Leaves Dies, cut a piece of the Brushed Metallic Cardstock.
- For the next step, layer the leaves onto the card front and overlapping the intersection of the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper strips.
- To complete the card front, attach the sentiment label using Stampin’ Dimensionals. And of course, don’t forget to embellish the envelope.
When wanting to create autumn leaves, layering ink using sponge daubers onto your stamps is a fun technique. But remember, just dab the ink onto your base color of ink.

Sep 25, 2020 | August-December 2020 Mini Catalog, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Fun Folds, Holiday, Magic In This Night |
In my last post, the Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper was being highlighted on a non-Halloween card. Today, it is front and center again on two Halloween Z-fold cards. One of the cards features spiders and the other features bats. Even with creepy crawlies and things that fly in the night, the cards aren’t too spooky! Since the cards are part of the September To-Go Kit featuring the stamp set, A Wish For Everything, the front sentiment and inside greeting fit perfectly on the Z-Fold cards.
Notice the little spiders? They are cut using the Little Treat Box dies. The spiders are the perfect size for this project.
What fun with the bats! The bats are cut from a piece of the Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper. The Halloween Magic Dies coordinate with designer series paper to cut the bats. Plus there’s a die with the three small flying bats that add the perfect touch to the back panel.
Materials:
- Card base: Cajun Craze or Black Berry Bliss cardstock: 4-1/4” x 11”, score on 11” side at 2-3/4” & 5-1/2”
- Z-Fold layer – Basic Black Cardstock: 3-1/4” x 9-3/4”, score at 2-3/4” & 5-1/2”
- Magic in this Night Designer Series Paper
- Panels for card base: 4” x 5-1/4”; 2 pcs – 4” x 2-1/2”
- Panels for inside z-fold: 4” x 3”, 2-1/2” x 3”
- Whisper White cardstock panel: 2-1/2” x 3” and 2-1/4” square scrap piece for sentiment
- Stamp Set: A Wish For Everything
- Ink: Cajun Craze Classic Stampin’ Pad
- Dies: Halloween Magic, Little Treat Box and Stitched Shapes
- Embellishments: bats cut from the Designer Series Paper & the Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins or the spiders (die cut using the Little Treat Box dies), Basic Rhinestone Jewels & 1-1/2″ Metallic Mesh Ribbon
Assembly Directions:
- First, fold and burnish the score lines on both cards. For the base panel, the small fold is the card front. The card folds into a “z”.
- Add the Magic In This Night designer series paper panels to the card base and to the Basic Black cardstock z-fold layer.
- Using a strong adhesive, attach the z-fold layer to the card base. Note: the large side panel of the z-fold layer is added to the 2-3/4” front panel of the base.
- Next, stamp the inside sentiment with Cajun Craze Classic Stampin’ Pad onto the Whisper White panel. Then, attach to the last panel of the z-fold.
- For the front sentiment, stamp Happy Halloween onto a 2-1/2” square of Whisper White cardstock. For the circle shape, use the Stitched Shapes Die. If adding sentiment to the spider card, add the metallic mesh ribbon beneath the sentiment. (As an added touch on the spider sentiment, stamp the webs from the Banner Year Stamp Set using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink)
- Refer to photos for each card for placement of spiders and bats. Embellish with adhesive-backed sequins on the bat card and rhinestones on the spider card.

Sep 23, 2020 | 2020-2021 Annual Catalog, August-December 2020 Mini Catalog, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Holiday, Magic In This Night, Simple Stamping, Uncategorized |
When designing cards for the recent To-Go class, the Magic in This Night Designer Series Paper was front and center on two card designs. It is not just for Halloween but can be used for various occasions. For the card in class, it is featured on a Thanksgiving Wishes card. While several of the designs in the designer series paper are Halloween themed, most are generic designs. On today’s card, the Pretty Peacock design offers a beautiful background. It coordinates wonderfully with silver foil texture embossed elements.
Materials:
- Pretty Peacock card base: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, score at 4-1/4”; 1-1/2” x 1-1/2” for leaf
- Whisper White: 4” x 5-1/4” (for Layer 1); 1-1/4” x 2-1/4” (for sentiment)
- Magic in This Night Designer Series Paper: 5” x 3-3/4”
- Silver Foil Sheets: 3-1/2” x 2-1/2”
- Stamp Set
- A Wish for Everything Stamp Set
- Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pad
- Dies:
- Gathered Leaves
- Stitched Shapes
• Embellishment: 1-1/2” Metallic Mesh Ribbon (approx. 8”)
• Stampin’ Seal, Stampin’ Dimensionals & Glue Dots
To assemble the card, attach the Whisper White cardstock and the Magic in This Night Designer Series Paper to the card base using Stampin’ Seal. With the small, veined leaves dies from the Gathered Leaves Dies, cut two leaves from the Silver Foil Sheet and one leaf from the Pretty Peacock scrap. Next, stamp the sentiment onto the Whisper White using Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pad and add to card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then, add the cut embossed leaves to the label and card using Stampin’ Dimensionals and glue dots to adhere. Complete the card by adding a Metallic Mesh Ribbon bow to card.
Be sure to look at both sides of your Designer Series Papers when designing cards. Often, themed papers offer prints that are appropriate to use for other occasions. Remember, Magic in This Night is not just for Halloween!

Since transitioning to virtual card classes due to the pandemic, registrants receive a “little something” extra with the kits. This month, an autumn theme bag topper added to a Mosaic Gusseted Cellophane Bag was perfect for the special treat. Even better, the bag topper is quick to make using the Celebration Labels Dies. The dies and Celebration Tidings Stamp Set are available together in the Celebration Tidings Bundle. For an autumn theme, the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Paper is ideal.
Bag Topper Tips:
For creating a bag topper, the Celebration Labels Dies offer a range of sizes so you can create toppers for a variety of bag sizes. Just lay a die across the top of the bag to determine the size needed. After die cutting your designer series paper or cardstock, place the label on your scoring board aligning the notches on the label and score to create the fold line. To seal bag top, use Stampin’ Seal+ on the label and fold across the bag opening. As noted, I used the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper for my project bag toppers. The designer series paper is perfect for an autumn theme bag topper.
For the autumn theme treat bag, a coordinating gift tag is added to the bag topper. Cut one end of a 3-1/4″x 3/4″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using the Banners Pick A Punch. Then, stamp the “just for you” from the Celebration Tidings Stamp Set onto the tag using Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad. Using the Autumn Punch Pack, cut leaves and acorns from the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. Add the leaves to the tag with glue dots and use a Stampin’ Dimensional on the acorn. Next, add a small bow to the gift tag. To finish, use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the gift tag.
Creating bag toppers using the Celebration Labels Dies is quick and easy! Adding this special touch to a cellophane bag elevates the simplest treat. With upcoming holidays, consider ordering the Celebration Tidings Bundles so you can quickly turn a “little something” into “something special”!
