Wow, it’s Wednesday, the day is coming to an end and I’m just now working on the post for today! The Labor Day weekend has thrown me off schedule (LOL). Today, I’m sharing the last of the August card class Nature’s Harvest cards. This card is sending healing thoughts. Notice the textured background? It’s created using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and included in the Harvest Meadow Suite. You’ll want to add this embossing folder to your “must have” list as it creates a beautiful textured backdrop. Below you’ll find the list of materials for recreating the Sending Healing Thoughts card and a video to assist with assembly.

It’s September first and time to start thinking of the arrival of Fall later this month. And what celebration comes in Fall? Halloween, of course! In this post, Cute Halloween meets Pretty Pillow Box Dies. Quick, easy treat holders are made using the Pretty Pillow Box Dies and the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper. The holders are perfect for adding several pieces of small individually wrapped candies. To embellish the treat boxes, the Cutest Halloween Bundle continues the theme and adds the finishing touch to each treat holder.
Details and tips for assembling:
Cut a 4-1/2″ x 6″ piece of the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper using the Pretty Pillow Box Die.
Fold and burnish the score lines on the box.
If desired, cut notches with either the edge of a circle punch (I used a retired 1/2″ punch and inserted it along edge of back flaps – see photo) or use a small circle punch to cut notch – just place the die on 1/2 of the paper.
Next, fold the box flat and seal the scallop flap to the front.
Next open the pillow box, fill with treats and close the side flaps.
To embellish the treat boxes:
Use the Halloween Punch from the Cutest Halloween Bundle to cut images from the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper. TIP: cut around one of the images from the patterned paper, then use a post-it note strip to hold onto the paper while putting into punch to cut the shape. Great way to eliminate wasting paper!
Next, stamp the sentiment onto a strip of 1/2″ Basic White cardstock & cut flag end using the Banners Pick A Punch. Then, layer the stamped sentiment onto a banner cut from a 3/4″ strip of Highland Heather cardstock. Attach to the top of the pillow box with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Complete by adding the image punched from the designer series paper.
These cute Halloween meets Pretty Pillow Box Dies treat boxes are easy to make! These treat holders are perfect for making your Halloween treats special.
You’ll find all the materials listed under Project Materials below. (And if you purchase the Cutest Halloween Bundle, the Pretty Pillow Box Dies & the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper, you’ll get to select a FREE Sale-a-Bration product through September 30)

In the new July-December Mini Catalog, the Whimsy & Wonder Suite features the Whimsical Trees Bundle. For even more whimsical cheer, the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper offers designs in non-traditional holiday colors. Today’s Whimsical Trees card combines the bundle and the designer series paper in a fun holiday card. Even though the Polished Pink and Mint Macaroon aren’t a typical holiday color scheme, the colors combine with the Evening Evergreen to create a merry card.
Whimsical Trees Card Details:
Card Base: Basic White Thick 4-1/4″ x 11″, score & fold at 5-1/2″
Mint Macaroon Layer: 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper Layer: 5-1/4″ x 4″. Attach to the Mint Macaroon layer & then to the card base using a strong adhesive.
Stamp the medium tree using Mint Macaroon Classic Ink Pad onto a piece of Mint Macaroon cardstock. Next, cut using the coordinating die from the Christmas Trees Dies.
Use the large, thin tree die to cut the tree from Polished Pink cardstock. Use the garland die to cut a piece of the Silver Specialty Foil. Layer the garland onto the tree and adhere with multipurpose liquid adhesive (or add Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Silver Foil prior to die cutting).
With the open tree die, cut tree shape from Evening Evergreen cardstock.
Referring to card photo for placement, position & layer the trees on the card base. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the Polished Pink tree.
From scraps of Silver Foil Specialty Paper, cut ornaments and stars with the dies. Embellish the two smaller trees with the ornaments and stars.
Stamp the sentiment onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Polished Pink Classic Ink Pad. Cut using the Double Oval Punch.
With the scallop oval from the Double Oval Punch, cut a scrap of Mint Macaroon cardstock. Adhere the sentiment oval to the scallop oval. Attach to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Complete the card front by adding a bow tied with the silver cord from the Simply Elegant Trim pack.
It was fun to step “outside the box” and use non-traditional colors for a Christmas card. While traditional colors can be used with the Whimsical Trees Bundle, I’ll being using the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper for more holiday themed projects.

In one of the Christmas in July posts, the Art in Bloom Bundle was the feature set. Today, I’m featuring the Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder from the bundle. A simple stamping but elegant card can be created by using the embossing folder to add texture. The Fresh Freesia In Color Shimmer Vellum features the texture embossing and creates a beautiful card. With a few embellishments and a sentiment, it’s a quick and easy card too.
Card Details:
Create a card base using Thick Basic White cardstock. (4-1/4″ x 11″, score at 5-1/2″ and fold)
Texture a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Fresh Freesia In Color Shimmer Vellum with the Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. Attach to card front using Stampin’ Seal along the edge of the vellum.
Stamp the hello sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Fresh Freesia Classic Ink Pad. Use the Tailor Made Tags Dies to cut a sentiment tag.
Embellish the tag using the Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon and add the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Complete the card front by adding a few 2021-2023 In Color Jewels.
See, it doesn’t get much simpler!

For the final Christmas in July project, I have chosen to create an Art in Bloom holiday card. The Art in Bloom Bundle is in the 2021-2022 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. The Art in Bloom Bundle includes the Art in Bloom Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. Be sure to watch the assembly video below to see how to use Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. While the bundle isn’t a holiday design, by using traditional holiday colors of red & green the Art in Bloom Bundle easily transitions to a holiday card. Additionally, using the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper (a returning favorite in the Mini Catalog!) and adding a holiday sentiment completes the card’s theme.
