Christmas Already--Jolly Holly Card

Summer may not be over, but it is time to begin thinking about Christmas and cards.  The Jolly Holly Bundle was released with the July Online Exclusives (I find I love the bi-monthly release of new products more and more).

The Hybrid Embossing Folder can be used lots of ways--
  • use only the folder to get the texture on your cardstock
  • use with the large die inside embossing folder to texture and to get partial die cutting of the holly
  • use the dies alone and get lots of die cut holly
After gluing the embossed cardstock (edges only) onto your cardstock, gently raise the holly leaves up from the cardstock; the "joy" fits in the center--hardest thing in making the card is to get the "joy" straight; color and die cut some holly to adhere to the card front; add a few rhinestones (you can color them red with Stampin' Blends) and your card is complete.  Thanks to Jennifer Sunseri for the great idea and video!!

Inspiring Imperfections

Happy Monday---the heat ~110 degrees continues here in the desert!  Hoping to get into the 90's by the end of the week. 😅 Don't forget products with the new In Colors are 15% off through the end of the month.

Since it's too hot to even go the pool, it's a perfect time to stamp--isn't it always??  The Kintsugi Inspirations Suite in the 2025-26 Annual Catalog is absolutely beautiful--especially the DSP!  It has two sheets that contain different colors of vases, bowls, and then the flowers.  Easy to use the dies to cut out and make a variety of colors with the same layout.  I did use Joined Together embossing folder on the card base and used Textured Notes rectangles under the vases.  Something out of my wheel house, but was well-received by the ladies last week.  :)

Artistic Leaves + In Color Sale

15% Off - See ALL the Products HERE
Since we're still in Summer, I wasn't ready yet to do a card in Fall colors, but I really like the Artistic Leaves stamp set that came out in the July Online Exclusives.  Create with Stamping Friends solved my dilemma.  This beautiful card uses the leaves set, but does them in bright, happy colors.  The card is done by stamping the two different leaves on top of each other in different colors.  Soft Waves Embossing Folder adds a gentleness to the card.  Enjoy making this one.  I'm sure I'll be using it again with Fall colors when the leaves begin to change.

Bright Borders

Good Morning!!!  Sadly, I'm back down the mountains of the Sequoias, but happy to be back stamping,  Had a wonderful time with the kiddos and the cooler temps!  

This card, Bright Borders, is from Patty Bennett and is a great way to use up leftover DSP. You must use 12x12" paper--which we have--and score/fold your 5-1/2" x 12" card stock at 4-1/4", 7-1/4", and 10-1/4".  DSP is cut just 1/4" narrower.   Bright Borders set and punch add just the right sentiments with lots of different choices.  I liked using the Garden Green for my card base.  It brings out all the colors of the DSP.  I did punch out a Garden Green to offset the sentiment.  Everyone loved making this at our last class!

Cutest Onesie
This adorable bundle isn't new, but is soooo cute!  I find that while my friends aren't having babies, their children are.  Laura Seki created this beautiful card--thanks!  The eyelet embossing folders is adhered with the "debossed" side showing.  Using two of the dies from the Spotlight on Nature dies creates the ring for the onesie.  Beautiful Bokeh creates a great background for a boy or a girl.  Use both colors on the card for the "we don't know the sex of the baby."  Enjoy Shopping!!!
