Lights & Wonder

Posted on December 9, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

Lights in the Sky, the magical Northern Lights have been seen recently as far as North Georgia where I live. Something I thought I’d never get to experience unless I went to Alaska, now I can’t wait to see them in all their glory next year!

The Lights of Aurora Suite (Last Chance 165758) has a wonderful pack of 6×6 Designer Series Paper in it

called the Lights of Aurora 6×6 Designer Series Paper (165755) that is filled with images of the northern lights that is perfect for your projects.

Today’s card uses that Designer Series Paper and teams it up with the Peace on Earth Stamp set (Last Chance 165918) to make a wonderful card of encouragement for a friend.

This card not only shows off this beautiful paper but is also a fun fold, called the Fold Back Card. You open the card by folding back the right edge, which allows the sentiment to swing back and the card to open.

The inside shows off more of the lovely paper. This card uses one full sheet of the 6×6 since the two larger panels are 3″ x 5 1/4″ and the small panel is the last little bit from the top 3/4″ “waste” piece and measures 3/4″ x 5 1/4″.

How do you make this fun fold? It’s so simple, simply score your 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ card base in the center like normal at the 4 1/4″ mark and then score again at the 7 1/2″. Decorate the panels as desired and then add the sentiment (or another element) that creates the closure. You’ll want to pop this element up on the 1″ section only to create a bit of height so it swings easily. That’s it! So simple but definitely a wow kind of card. Why not give it a try?

More Snowy Delights

Posted on December 8, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

As winter weather and snow plows are working over time in parts of the country I’ve been watching my old school friends posting their snow pictures from the area I grew up. So today I’m going to share some cards using the lovely Snowy Delights Bundle (Last Chance 165809).

This bundle is filled with fun products that coordinate together or that stand alone and today’s cards show the fun you can have with this bundle.

This first card uses the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks (Last Chance 165808) and a fun contemporary color combo of Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lime Twist and Blueberry Bushel.

A bit of the Balmy Blue 1/2″ Sheer Ribbon (Last Chance 165767) gives some texture to the project and a place for the sentiment to be placed. Don’t you love the little stitched edge on the Snowy Delight Dies (Last Chance 165807) used for the sentiment? I just love these fun little details to add texture and interest to our projects.

And this next card is done in Balmy Blue and Azure Afternoon for a softer feel.

Simple stamping was used for the back drop of the die cut snowflake and a fun little Drusy Adhesive Backed Embellishments (164223) add a bit of sparkle and shine to the center of the snowflake.

And last but not least is this fun fold card with a special snowflake belly band.

The Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (161600) and die cut snowflakes give it tons of texture. And the pop of shine has been added with the Gold Shaker Stars (Online Exclusive 166065).

Remove the snowflake belly band and you’ve got a fun little suprise.

Did you know that our Last Chance List has been updated last week? Some of the items from the Mini catalog can be found on it and many are discounted. If you haven’t checked it out why not stop by my online store and take a look before they are gone for good.

Gingerbread Man

Posted on November 24, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

Run, Run as fast as you can…. Does this stamp set make you think of that childhood rhyme? Funny it made me think of it when I first saw the Gingerbread Man Bundle (165785)

And this cute little guy is great for those fun holiday projects with it’s option of creating gingerbread man shaped cards and gift tags, or even a treat item.

Today’s card both use this Bundle, this first card is simple stamping and die cutting.

Done in fun bright colors, Melon Mambo, Timid Tiger, and Summer Splash. The gingerbread man was cut out in Pecan Pie and stamped using our White Craft Ink (147277) and Memento Tuxedo Black (132708/133456). The sentiment is stamped in Real Red. These colors are pulled from the package of the Delightful Decorative Dots (165915) that embellish the gingerbread man.

This next card uses the classic colors Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler and steps it up with the white trim on the gingerbread man being heat embossed with our white embossing powder found in the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679).

A bit of the same craft white ink has been swiped across the Christmas Words Collage Hybrid Embossing Folder & Dies (165912) to highlight the words in the background. And the front of the card opens

to show off a sentiment and allows you to sign. Want more space? instead of a embossed quarter sheet of card stock, you could add this little guy to a full card base and add an inside panel. Don’t you love the flexibility we have when we create to make it our own?

And don’t forget tomorrow kicks off our Black Friday sale – be sure to stop by and check it out!
