Soft & Lovely Magical Meadow

Posted on by

The Magical Meadow Bundle (retiring 162144) is filled with lovely images and sentiments that can be used through out the winter months and the images are DistInktive (TM) stamps give you lovely shading and texture since it is already built in.

This bundle is part of a suite so it has some wonderful products that coordinate with it too. Check out these lovely cards using the Magical Meadow Stamp Set (Retiring 162134). This first card uses simple stamping and some layering with the Deckled Rectangle Dies (159173) to create a wonderful winter card. The light airy Silver & White 1/2″ Sheer Ribbon (162149) adds more texture.

And this next card is a fun fold using a bit of 2023-2025 In Color Jute Twine (161637) to add some texture and close the fun fold.

The lovely Faceted Gems Trio Pack (162148) add a bit more texture and shine.

While these first two cards use the greenery images to create a lovely card, they both have different feel to them due to the color choice. And this next card uses the Magical Meadow Bundle along with the same Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper (162133) to create this lovely Starry Sky inspired card.

Once again the ribbon adds a bit of shine while the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (162026) and Double Oval Punch (154242) add some texture. And this final card uses the lovely Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper (162133) and teams it up with the Very Best Occasions (159871).

A few of the Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins (161627) add a bit of shine and elegance to the card.

I’m excited that some of the elements from this Suite will be carrying over so you’ll want to make sure that you get the Bundle that is part of the retirement list now so you don’t miss out.

Enjoy and don’t forget to stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a tutorial with you!

It’s a Traditional Christmas with Saint Nicholas

Posted on by

Do you have Saint Nic come to your house and fill the stockings? I know when I was a child my girlfriend did and thought it was pretty cool. I had no idea then that December 6th is Saint Nicholas Day, better known as Nikolaus in Germany. And while the day may not receive the full religious celebration it does in Southern Germany and other traditionally Catholic regions, children across Europe look forward to this day each year by leaving a stocking or shoe by the fireplace. As soon as I saw this set it made me think of my friend Dawn and her families tradition.

The Saint Nicholas Stamp Set (retiring 162099) that was used for this first card also has a coordinating die set and comes in a money saving bundle too.

Our Stampin’ Blends were used to color the image and it’s been cut out with our Deckled Rectangle Dies (159173). And this next card also uses a traditional feeling stamp set, the Regal Reindeer stamp set (159722) and it’s coordinating set of Reindeer Dies (159727).

his time the reindeer was colored with our Watercolor Pencils for a softer feel. Both are great for the holiday season.

Festive Fun

Posted on by

Fun little animals aways draw my eye and today’s card has a giraffe! The Festive & Fun stamp set (retiring 162078) contains fun little animal images doing traditional holiday things.

Check out this card that uses the set along with the Tiny Christmas Tree Die (retiring 162114) and cheerful Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper (retiring 161945).

Cute, right? Stampin’ Blends were used to give this image bold colors and the Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs (161954) add some shimmer to the ornaments on the image. They fit just right inside the stamped images.

Let it snow with Sparkling Snowflakes

Today’s monochromatic card tutorial uses the lovely Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set (Retirement List 162158) that is part of our Retirement list and only available while supplies last or until January 3rd.

It contains some lovely all occasion sentiments along with holiday ones making it great for all winter long. And since it is a 2 step stamp set you’ve got lots of choices too. Snowflakes! I love them and the fact they are all different and unique like us.

Magical Meadow Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Today’s card is done in the soft colors of Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve and Misty Moonlight giving it a soft winter feel.

I’ve used the Magical Meadow Stamp Set (Retiring 162134) that will be retiring and is only available while supplies last along with the Something Fancy Dies (160424) from the Annual Catalog. You might already have this set of label dies since it is a great staple that you’ll use over and over again.

the Magical Meadow stamp set is a beautiful set with DisInkTive ™ images and wonderful winter sentiments. It is part of the Winter Meadow Suite of Products (162150) and while the stamp set and dies are on the retirement list some of the accessories are not, so you can get additional accessories like the paper in the future. Remember, if a suite or bundle is sold out you can always purchase things separately.

Here is a video tutorial for you and PDF with the complete supply list, YouTube Link, and measurements with instructions for recreating this card.

It also uses our those Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots (156506), this time the copper ones. It also uses the natural trim from the Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo Pack (162192). The ribbon has simply been cut in half to create a smaller width.
