Nutcracker Tags Made From the Kit

Leave a reply
Nutcracker Tags

I knew I wanted this Nutcracker Tags Kit the minute I saw it in the Stampin’ Up! Online Store! I could tell the tags would be so cute for Christmas gifts and maybe even to make into a card. Each nutcracker image is printed and diecut in bright festive colors. To embellish them, just adhere pieces of their costume with Dimensionals to the tag. Tie them onto a background striped tag and all you have to do is write your “To: From:” on the back when you add them to a gift. No stamping is required. Just add the pieces, the sentiments, and tie the tags together with the black baker’s twine. The tags and sentiments even have gold glitter to make it look extra festive and high-quality.

The Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection is great for anyone to make! I had the opportunity to stamp with my great-niece and worked along with her as we made cards from three different kits and she could easily do it. In fact, after a little while she didn’t even want to follow the directions, she just wanted to make her own creation with the contents in the kit! And that’s fine! The Kit is yours! If you want to change anything or add any of your own products, like extra cardstock, just go ahead and have fun!

At this time, the Nutcracker Tags Kit is sold out. It says “Currently Unavailable” and you can add your email address for Stampin’ Up! to send you an email if and when they get more in stock. I hope they do get more in stock because I really do like this kit. You would still have time to order and make the kit if they are restocked in the next few weeks. I hope so!!

But if you did already purchase the Kit, this is your reminder to get it out and make the cute nutcrackers! Your gifts will look more luxurious and festive with these tags!

Brushed With Beauty Birthday Card

Leave a reply
Brushed With Beauty Birthday Card

Last week Stampin’ Up! released some new products for stamping and scrapbooking and my order came the other day! We often say the Stampin’ Up! paper is prettier in person than you see in photos or online. I’d say that is true about this new Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper that I used on this Brushed With Beauty Birthday Card. Floral papers can be used for almost any occasion so it is good to have several on hand for your cardmaking needs.

This Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper is part of the Brushed With Beauty Suite in the new Online Exclusives for November 2025. If you want it ALL, just order the Suite with one product number (167100). If you want to pick and choose, then order by item. Also, there will be a virtual Stampin’ Up! class in a private Facebook group using this Suite! You can purchase the class HERE by November 17th to craft along and/or watch the class on November 20th. You can still purchase it later to watch the replay.

For this card I used Mossy Meadow cardstock for the card base. When I went to choose a designer paper pattern, I knew I was going to use a different pattern along the side. But when I saw the pattern on the back side of this floral bouquet patterned paper, I decided to just fold over the edge to reveal “the other side” of the paper. The floral bouquet paper was cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and then the right side was folded back 1/2″ to make that interesting side edge. I adhered the designer paper then to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Petal Pink card stock which. matches the paper, allowing the Petal Pink to only show on the left side of the card.

The greeting is stamped from the Simply Said Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow ink on Very Vanilla card stock. It was diecut with a small oval die in the Traditional Labels Dies. Then I chose a larger oval die of Petal Pink cardstock for a layer behind the greeting. I chose the Petal Pink 5/16″ Braided Trim to place underneath the greeting. It is just kind of folded in half with a little loop at the top peeking over the top of the greeting and then trimmed the ends. The whole greeting is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For a finishing touch, I added three Pearls of Beauty in Crumb Cake. There are also White and Calypso Coral pearls in the package. They are pretty and fairly flat, which is good for mailing.

Christmas Tags & More Plaid Christmas Card

Leave a reply
Christmas Tags & More Plaid Christmas Card

Here’s a fun Christmas card to make, the Christmas Tags & More Plaid Christmas Card. Between the cute designer series paper, the new dies to make the focal point, and the ephemera pieces and embellishments, this card will be easy enough for you to make and be proud of.

The card base is Garden Green, and I used the Christmas Tags & More 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. As you can see, this pack of paper is not only about Christmas tags! You can make tags out of some of the sheets just by cutting the images apart, as I did in THIS blog post. But you can certainly use the pack of paper for lots of Christmas cards, Christmas projects, and making scrapbook pages. I love this plaid design that I used for the background.

On the front of the card, I used the Branching Out Dies which are in the Holiday Mini Catalog and part of the Branching Out Bundle. I love using these dies for their shape and for their layering sizes. The top layer is a piece of Basic White cardstock layered on top of Garden Green cardstock. The small print piece at the bottom is a piece of the Tags & More 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, but only using a portion. This whole piece is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

In the center is a wreath from the Time For Celebration Ephemera Pack. This wreath fit perfectly on this diecut with the greeting one of the pieces in the Greetings For You Ephemera Pack. I have used elements in this pack so much! They are pretty in gold foil and saves you the trouble of doing embossing. The red bow is from the Time For Celebration Ephemera Pack also, right by the wreath. For a little sparkle and embellishment, I used the Traditional Sparkling Sequins, which I love, love, love! I just placed three red sequins around on the wreath and one silver one on the center of the bow.

If you didn’t have the Branching Out Dies, you could layer any rectangle dies or just cut rectangle shapes of cardstock with a paper trimmer and it would all still be fine.

It appears that many or all of the products I used on this card are “currently unavailable” at this moment. This is why it is a good idea to order products you like as soon as you can when they come out. However, not all is lost! These products should be back in stock in about a week or two. You can go to the product page and fill in your email to be notified when they are back in stock. Sometimes they are even available earlier than expected so this is a good tool to use. Or just check back.

The Christmas Tags & More DSP is due back the week of Nov. 17th, as well as the Greetings For You Ephemera Pack. The Branching Out Dies are due back in stock the week of Nov. 24th as well as the Traditional Sparkling Sequins. The Time For Celebration Ephemera Pack is delayed until the week of Dec. 1st. You will still have time to order these items as they come back and still have time to make your projects. You can also use the same card design with other paper, other rectangular shapes for layers and another greeting and embellishments.

Keep checking the Stampin’ Up! Online Store and perhaps you will be the first one of these products being available again!

Stampin’ Up! New Stamp Set and Die Packaging

Leave a reply
Stampin' Up! New Packaging

Tomorrow, November 4, will be new Kits in the Kits Collection at Stampin’ Up! and new Online Exclusives available to everyone! I think it is so much fun to frequently be getting new products even if it keeps our heads spinning trying to keep up! Here are three examples of the new packaging Stampin’ Up! is beginning to use! These are new Online Exclusives you will be able to order tomorrow, and if you do, you will get the New Stampin’ Up! Stamp Set & Die Packaging!

If you recall, back in August Stampin’ Up! announced several big changes. The red rubber cling stamps would be discontinued and all stamps would be photopolymer (the clear stamps) eventually. The reason for this is that the red rubber raw materials were getting harder to source. Since the photopolymer stamps are thinner, the packaging would change from the hard plastic stamp cases to a similar kind of packaging dies have been coming in, the sturdy, durable clear plastic. This saves space and you can, if you want, put the stamp set and dies together in one envelope. A big plus is that artwork of the stamps AND dies will be included with the package. One odd thing is that while dies and stamps now have the same name, the stamp set packaging shows the name of the stamp set boldly at the top. The dies say “Stampin’ Cut & Emboss” at the top with the name of the dies in small print just above the artwork! So some of us may still need our reading glasses!

Those of you with fantastic organizing skills may find this new packaging either an exciting challenge or a new problem! I don’t think I plan to change over any of my old things into new packaging, but some people will want to. Stampin’ Up! is selling plain envelopes if you want extras for other sets you have. These are called Stamp & Die Organizers (167772) and will be available starting tomorrow in the Online Exclusives. You get 10 organizers, 5-5/8″ x 9″, with a self-tuck closure. These will help you organize your products to be all the same if you like. You can also purchase empty Standard Stamp Cases in the Online Store if you have any need to those for your organizing.

We’ll hear lots more about these changes in the coming days and as you get some new products in the new packaging you will decide how you want to store your stamps and dies or if you even want to change the way you do it now. These envelopes are taller than the die packaging we have now. You’ll just have to see how everything works for you! But don’t be surprised if you get new packaging in your next order, depending on what you order.

Amber Autumn Card For November

Leave a reply
Amber Autumn Card For November

It’s November already so here is an Amber Autumn Card For November. You could easily use this card for Thanksgiving although a Happy Thanksgiving greeting is hard to come by! Now that Halloween is over we can turn our attention to Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up.

The card base is Early Espresso with a layer of one of the plaids in the Timeless Plaid 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. This paper is so versatile with it’s different plaid patterns and pretty colors. The pumpkins are stamped from the Amber Autumn Stamp Set. I used Memento ink and colored in with various colors of Stampin’ Blends markers. I used Very Vanilla cardstock and then diecut with one of the Branching Out Dies. I think these dies are on their way to being favorites! I love how they can be layered with lots of different sizes. I chose Pecan Pie cardstock for the layer.

Although that was all I planned to do with this piece, it seemed to be missing something. I got the idea to use the Metallic Textures Rub Ons for a little extra something. You can cut out the exact area you want to use so I cut out three different small groupings of gold dots and applied them around the top of the pumpkins. The card needed a little gold!

At first I tried a greeting in one of the ephemera packs, even sponging it with some Pecan Pie ink but finally decided the white background clashed with the Very Vanilla cardstock on the card. I was hoping there was a Happy Thanksgiving in the ephemera pack but I didn’t find one. So I stamped my own greeting from the Amber Autumn Stamp Set on a strip of Very Vanilla in Pecan Pie ink and popped it up on MIni Dimensionals.

These months are really flying by, but even in Houston TX the temperatures have dropped a little so that it feels like fall. I’m going to put away my Halloween decorations now and get out my Thanksgiving decorations! And maybe make a few Thanksgiving cards to send!

Elegant Pine Snowflakes Scrap Cards

Elegant Pine Snowflakes Scraps Cards

Do you know what today is? Today is October 25, TWO MONTHS until Christmas Day! Wow! That puts things into perspective for us crafters, right?! I wanted to post a Christmas card today to remind all of us that even though it isn’t Halloween yet, it is almost Christmastime! Here are two cards, Elegant Pine Snowflakes Scrap Cards, that you can easily make with brand new paper or the scraps that you have left after making other cards. And you can use any paper you have! In fact, you can make this same kind of card for a birthday or any occasion, just change the theme and greeting of course!

Elegant Pine Snowflakes Merry & Bright Card

This card is made with a Real Red card base. As you may have guessed, I used the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper in the Online Exclusives since September. You could use Cherry Cobbler cardstock or one of the greens. The paper strips are cut at 1 3/4″ x 4″. I adhered mine directly on to the card base. However, sometimes it is easier to cut a piece of cardstock the same size as the three strips together and adhere the strips onto that layer, then the whole piece on to the card base. Or you can make a layer that is larger (if you cut your strips smaller) and have that layer show around the margins of the strips. Very versatile design. These strips are all touching, but you can also make them smaller and narrower and leave a space in between.

The greeting is one of the gold foil sentiments in the Greetings For You Ephemera Pack. It is layered on a Gold Foil diecut circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. This eventually is layered on a larger Real Red diecut circle. First, however, I used the Real Red 1/2″ Shiny Ribbon back and forth behind the gold foil layer and held in place with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I often put some Stampin’ Seal on the paper to hold the ribbon in place until I get it just right and then add the Dimensionals.

For some pizzazz, I added five gold Traditional Sparkling Sequins for sparkle. With this design you can make hundreds of other kinds of cards. It’s a great way to use more than one pattern of our beautiful paper!

Elegant Pine Snowflakes Joy Card

Here is a second card, made with the same Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper, but with the strips switched around and a different greeting and ribbon. This card base is our old favorite, Old Olive. The greeting is also in the Greetings For You Ephemera Pack, but the whole word punches out. It is layered on an Old Olive Stylish Shapes circle with Gold Striped 3/8″ Mesh Ribbon, which is so pretty. Just like the first card, the greeting is popped up on Dimensionals. This time I used the Real Red Traditional Sparkling Sequins for some sparkle on the card. Just add a greeting or write a message inside the card and you are set to go!

Since today is only two months until Christmas (and that’s Christmas Day when ALL the work and preparation is over with!) let’s all try to make at least three Christmas cards today, maybe more, just to get in the mood and into gear!

Spooky Sweet Pumpkins and Ghosts Card

Leave a reply
Spooky Sweet Pumpkins and Ghosts Card

Make another fun Halloween card using the Spooky Sweet Specialty Designer Series Paper by using one of the scenes on the papers plus the spooky characters on the paper and cut-outs. There is so much you can do with this paper! For this card, the Spooky Sweet Pumpkins and Ghosts Card, I even added a few little ghosts floating over the field of pumpkins!

The card base is Basic Black cardstock. It goes with the nightime scene out in the pumpkin field. All I did was add some Halloween characters out on the sidewalk from the designer paper. The rhinoceros is a diecut and is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. His little friend, the bird carrying a pumpkin bucket, is standing on the brick wall in the background. The little bat dressed up like a ghost is fussy-cut from the designer series paper. He is also popped up on a few Dimensionals and the bird on the wall is adhered flat to the card.

Just to make the card spookier, I cut out three little ghosts by hand. You can sketch a little ghost by just drawing an arch and then a wiggly bottom of some kind. Add a face for your ghost and cut out. I popped up all the ghosts with one Dimensional each!

The greeting is stamped with the Spooky Halloween Stamp Set on Basic White with Memento ink. To fit them on the card better, I cut all the words apart and made them as narrow as possible. To make them spooky, I sponged them each with a little bit Gorgeous Grape ink. While I thought the card was busy enough, there was no way I could skip adding some Shimmer Star Foam Stickers for a little sparkle.

You still have time to make some Halloween cards for friends and family and get them in the mail! Have fun with whatever supplies you have to make some fun or spooky cards!

Kintsugi Inspirations Just For You Card

2 Replies
Kintsugi Inspirations Just For You Card

This Kintsugi Inspirations Just For You Card came about, just like the card from yesterday’s post, when I realized with the holiday season coming up and always new products, I hadn’t used some of my older designer series paper. Just seeing this pattern with the small blue flowers on stems and gold foil accents made me want to use it on a card right away! I also had a scrap of designer paper with these various vases and flowers. Right away I was inspired to cut out the blue and gold vase and use it on this paper.

The card base is Misty Moonlight with a layer of the blue flowers in the Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty Designer Series Paper. All of these papers are beautiful and very different from what we normally have and use. I made a couple of diecut circles for the greeting, both dies in the Spotlight On Nature Dies, one in Misty Moonlight and one Basic White. The greeting is stamped with Misty Moonlight ink from the Traditional Labels Stamp Set.

After placing the greeting flat on the card, I popped up the vase which I had fussy-cut from the paper on Stampin’ Dimensionals. After I did that I got the idea, from seeing a scrap on my table, to fussy-cut a branch of the blue flowers and insert those into a little slit I made in the top of the vase. I used Mini Dimensionals on the back of the flower stem to pop it up like the vase.

As you know, I couldn’t leave well enough alone and had to add an embellishment! I chose the Iridescent Foil Gems to add around the greeting. It’s usually difficult to stop once you get out a package of gems or sequins!

You’ll find the whole Kintsugi Inspirations Suite in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog on pages 58-60. That means it likely won’t be discontinued any time soon so you still have a good chance to get this unique paper and even the whole Suite if you like!

Nests of Winter Thinking of You Card

Leave a reply
Nests of Winter Thinking of You Card

As I was looking through my designer papers, I realized some of them have not been used for quite awhile with Halloween and Christmas projects taking the focus plus new products coming out pretty frequently. From that perspective, I made this Nests of Winter Thinking of You Card. If you wanted to, you could make it into a holiday card with a different greeting.

This paper has been around for awhile but it is still available! It came out last year in the Holiday Mini Catalog along with the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle of stamp set and dies. That Bundle was retired in April 2025, but the pretty Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper is still available! It does say “Low Inventory” as I write this so if you want to purchase it or get another package if you already have some, better hurry! It wasn’t a package of paper I would have chosen, but we used it in a virtual Stampin’ Up! event last fall and I loved it! Before the paper is gone, I decided to set it aside and make a card with it!

The card base is Garden Green Cardstock with a layer of the green striped pattern on the back of one of the featured papers. What I really like was this pair of birds sitting on a branch with red berries. I cut it out by hand with my Paper Snips, then layered the birds on a diecut piece of the Nests of Winter Designer Paper. It was cut out with the Branching Out Dies found on page 50 in the September-December 2025 Holiday Catalog, and then layered on a diecut of Real Red. You could also use Cherry Cobbler. The birds and the layers are all adhered flat on the card but you could pop up the birds or the layers with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting is one I found in the Greetings For All Ephemera Pack. There are ephemera packs in the Annual Catalog on page 25 and in the Holiday Mini on page 15. If you don’t own any ephemera packs yet it’s time to get some! They are fun and easy to use. At first I thought this diecut greeting in the ephemera pack would be too small for this card, but once I placed it on the diecut piece, I really liked it there! If you wanted this to be a Christmas card, just add a different greeting…or just a winter card!

I couldn’t resist adding three small Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries to the card front to match the berries on the paper! These are also “Low Inventory” so bette grab them if you want them. They are great for Christmas cards or any time.

This Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper just appealed to me when I came across i t, looking for something different from all the Christmas and Halloween paper. Often we get so caught up in all our new things, we forget about our older products. This was a pretty paper and I was inspired to use it for something different! Check your designer papers and see if there is something you haven’t used in awhile!

Spooky Sweet Candy Corn Tree Halloween Card

Leave a reply
Spooky Sweet Candy Corn Tree Halloween Card

This Spooky Sweet Candy Corn Tree Halloween Card was a quick and fun card to make at the last minute with no plan! With no card idea in mind except that I wanted to make a Halloween card, I pulled out the Spooky Sweet Specialty Designer Series Paper pack and took it from there!

This Spooky Sweet designer paper is called “Specialty” because it comes with a couple sheets of diecut images. All you have to do is punch them out and adhere them somewhere on your card, project, or scrapbook page. It also comes with “cut-apart” images that could be tags for a candy treat bag or background Halloween scenes of haunted houses or city streets. What got this card started was the strip of paper above the houses that is a Petunia Pop background and an iron fence. That is what I placed on the bottom of my card! My card has a Basic Black card base with a layer of Petunia Pop cardstock, one of the In Colors from last year and now in its second year.

After I had the fence, I just built a scene! I hadn’t used the diecut trees yet so I adhered one with Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up. With the little candy corns being individual diecuts, I thought, why not make a candy corn tree?! Haven’t we all wondered where candy corn comes from? Well, it certainly must come from spooky Halloween trees! You can see them growing right on this tree! I also added the pumpkins with a crow on top and the little Halloween fairy. She is popped up on Dimensionals.

The greeting is stamped in Petunia Pop ink from the Spooky Halloween Stamp Set. I love the greetings in this stamp set. There is also a die set that is very cute that you can add to the stamp set and purchase in the Spooky Halloween Bundle. There still is time to order these Halloween sets and designer paper and be able to make and send Halloween card and treats and certainly to make scrapbook pages to record fun Halloween memories. To help the greeting fit and to look a little more interesting, I cut the words apart and even cut around the shapes of some of the letters in order to fit in the space beside the candy corn tree. For a little sparkle on the card, I also added some Shimmer Star Foam Stickers in all three colors – black, white, and purple. I love these foam stickers! I love that they come in three colors and in different sizes so you can really mix and match depending on your project.

It’s time to make some Halloween cards to give and send so copy some of my ideas and have fun making your special Halloween creations! Remember, the Halloween products are in the Online Exclusives, not in the Holiday Mini Catalog.
