Yuletide Village

The landscape of winter – that is what filled the Yuletide Village stamp set (164310).

This set allows you to create wonderful landscapes that remind you of the holidays. Team it up with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (162026) and you’ve got endless options.

Check out these cards made with this stamp set.

This first card uses the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (162026) to create some texture as back drop for this simply stamped image. A bit of coloring with our Stampin’ Blends and a swish of Wink of Stella Glitter Brush (141897) adds a bit of sparkle to the card. Quick and easy, making it a great card to make a number of quickly for your holiday needs.

And finally this bold Blackberry Bliss church scene.

This card uses our Small Blending Brushes (160518/153611) to create a striking backdrop for the church using Blackberry Bliss and Fresh Freesia Classic Ink Pads. The church itself has been stamped, colored with our Watercolor Pencils (161700/149014) and then fussy cut. A quick bit of the Blackberry Bliss & Gold 1/2″ Textured Ribbon (164039) has been tied at the bottom to add a bit of shine.

Sparkling Snowflakes

Do you love the first snowfall of the year and the sparkle it brings to the countryside as the sun shines on it? I know growing up in Wisconsin this is one of my strongest memories, the brilliance of the snow as the sun hit it. I actually wore my sunglasses more in the winter than the summer! I guess that is one of the things that always draw me to a snowflake stamp set and the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set (162158) not only has some lovely 2 step snowflakes but also a coordinating punch too!

Today’s first card uses that lovely Sparkling Snowflakes Tag Topper Punch (162164).

This card uses colors from winter. The Fresh Freesia, Boho Blue, and Pool Party to create a soft winter time feel. It also uses the simple stamp off method to create 2 tones of the same color so that the two step image is darker than the solid image. You can see the small snow flake behind the sentiment that uses this same technique. Ink up the stamp, stamp off on a scratch paper, and then stamp on your project. Just a little tip – You’ll want to do this fully each time since when you stamp off the edge of the card stock you’ll get a line in your image. The Boho Blue 3/8″ Textured Ribbon (161631), Tinsel Gems Three Pack (161624), and Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (162026) give the card a lot of texture.

This next card is monochromatic and done in Lost Lagoon. One of my favorite new colors added this year.

The sentiment has been punched out using the Double Oval Punch (154242) and has been popped up giving it some depth. The lovely Silver & White 1/2″ Sheer Ribbon (162149) and Faceted Gems Trio Pack (162148) add a bit of shimmer and shine along with texture to the project.

These products are part of the carry over list, but the Sparkling Snowflakes Bundle (162165) discount will be going away since it is only while supplies last or January 3rd when the catalog ends.

Soft & Lovely Magical Meadow

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!

Forever Forest

The Forever Forest Bundle (162058) is designed so that you can create scenes. The coordinating Forever Forest Dies (162057) have built in land scape elements that compliment those in the stamp set.

It’s great for avid stampers to love to create a little something special like this first card for the holidays.

The sky is our quick and easy sky from the O Holy Night Designer Series Paper (161986) and we’ve got tons of shades of blue in this card – Night of Navy, Boho Blue, and Starry Sky have been used along with the fun little bit of texture from the Night of Navy 3-8″ Bordered Ribbon (160581).

And How about this card? Makes me think of fall camping here in North Georgia and our cool nights here right now.

We used to camp every weekend when the kids were younger and had so much fun enjoying the break from every day life. How about you what do you think of when you see a scene like this?

And for the last card today, here is a lovely thinking of you card. Sometimes the holidays and winter can be tough

and the Wonderful Thoughts Bundle (161494) that includes all kinds of sentiments is a great one to team up with the images in this set. Our Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (162026) has been used in the background and adds some texture. The soft colors from the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper (162133) set the color palette for this card and the Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon (161171) adds a bit of texture and keeps this card monochromatic feel.

Don’t you love how our products can create such different feels simply by changing our color choice or accessories? I know I do!

Beary Christmas

Here in my neck of the woods black bears are very popular – I’ve even had a few in my yard passing through. So when I saw the Beary Christmas Suite (162031) I saw endless possibilities for creating projects.

Check out these lovely cards using this group of products.

This first card uses simple stamping and a bit of heat embossing to create a lovely holiday card.

The Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper (162015) sets the color palette for this next card and uses a bit of fussy cutting for the “baby” bear to add a bit of layering.

The Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (162026) adds a bit of texture and along with the Scalloped Contour Dies (155560). And if you want to step it up a bit more. Check out this fun fold using the Tailor Made Tags Dies (155563) as the sentiment mat.

The inside signature panel peeks out from behind the flap adding a bit more color highlighting the sentiment.

Whether you create using the Beary Cute Bundle (162023) or use the Beary Cute Punch (162022) to create silhouettes for other projects I think you’ll enjoy creating with this group of products.
