The Traditions of Christmas DSP does it again! This image can also be cut with the Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine using the Christmas Greenery dies. You’d be surprised how quickly this card comes together when you have a ready-made focal point.
This image is plentiful on the page of DSP, and comes in 3 color ways. Look closely at the background of the Pool Party die cut, as it’s been stamped with our new Lasting Linen stamp. The texture is GORGEOUS and I hope this one sticks around for a very very very long time.
When the coloring is done for you, the cards go together very quickly. I don’t know about you, but it seems as though this time of year I need a LOT of cards. Head over to the Online Store if you need a little more DSP or some dies.

Our card and envelope packs are one of my favorite short cuts to card making. The Christmas Greetings Mix and Match cards and envelopes remind me of a Hawaiian fabric pattern called palaka, so I snapped up a couple of packs in my sneak peek order. Turns out they are a great match to the Traditionsmof Christmas DSP!!
Stamps: Blooming Phrases
Color Palette: Basic White, Real Red, Garden Green, Gold
Multiple images from the DSP can be cut with the coordinating dies, another big time saver. You’ve seen my coloring: it’s not like this!! And all that gold detail is just glorious.
Our Gold Mesh ribbon was on Last Chance and has sold out, but there’s a beautiful new option in the Online Store. And that new Christmas Words Hybrid Embossing Folder is AWESOME. You can cut out the individual words, but I like it just as it is!
The cards come with coordinating envelopes and the overall look is luxurious but just a little bit country. Pick up a couple of packages for your holiday cards and you’ll be halfway done! Shop the Online Store.

Llamas are back – this time in landscape! Their necks aren’t quite as long, but there’s room for more of them, and more llamas can only be a good thing. Please tell me you agree.
Stamps: Long Time No See,Spooky Halloween
Color Palette: Basic White, Memento Black, Gray Granite, Smoky Slate, Lost Lagoon, Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade
Accessories: Stampin’ Blends, Paper Snips (no longer available), Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon (retired)
I really wanted this to be a Christmas Card, but when I switched out the sentiment I had second thoughts. This sentiment is from Coneflower Celebrations, and I think it fits better. Ugh. I need to find order a Christmas sentiment this shape!
Either way, this card was colored with Stampin’ Blends much the way Tuesday’s card was. The llama-neck-sweaters have 3 colors, and if you look closely you’ll realize that some of the llamas are Smoky Slate and some are Gray Granite. Those funny starry background bits are from Spooky Halloween, because it was sitting on my desk begging to be included (Yes, the stamps talk to me, and I respond. And yes, that probably means I’m certifiable.)
Look at their perky ears! They’re waiting for you to tell them how handsome they are!! Go ahead, make their day. And then shop the Online Store for your own perky llamas.

The Z-fold card is one of my favorite designs: it’s a simple fold with a big impact. It’s essentially a regular fold with an extra score and a focal point, so it’s a great candidate for production. And it’s a great way to spotlight our beautiful Designer Series Papers!
Stamps: Greetings of the Season, Translucent Florals
Color Palette: Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Mellow Moss
Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Spotlight on Nature dies, Gold Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Embossing Buddy, Season of Elegance DSP, Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots, Gold Ribbon (retired)
Don’t you love the shimmer of Gold Embossing? Every time I emboss something, especially a greeting, I ask myself why I don’t do it more often. It’s not hard and it adds so much!!
To create the Z-fold, cut your 8 1/2″ x 11″ cardstock into two panels measuring 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score one of them at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″ and fold in half, then fold the front panel back to the left. Add a focal point (I love using a die cut) and you are ready to go!
Shop for Season of Elegance DSP in the Online Store. You still have time to make a few more cards before the holidays! Running out of time?? Then send Happy New Year cards – that sentiment is in Greetings of the Season. We’ve got you covered!

This Jolly Old Elf was at the top of my mini catalog list, but I’m a traditionalist and don’t like to dive into Christmas too early. Crafting is different, though: there’s a lot to do before December 25th.
Stamps: Surfing Santa
Color Palette: Basic White, Real Red, Old Olive, Soft Seafoam, Pool Party, Gray Granite, Daffodil Delight, Naturals 500, Memento Black
Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Deckle Circles dies, Nests of Winter DSP, Stampin’ Blends, 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems, Stampin’ Dimensionals
The first time I stamped and colored this image, I fussy cut it. Normally that makes me really happy, but somehow Santa got lost without a spotlight. I did cut the tops of the waves, but it barely qualifies as fussy cutting. I stamped them 3 times across on the Nests of Winter DSP – I love the result when you stamp tone-on-tone on top of DSP!
This Santa will have a permanent place in my stamp archive – does he belong in yours? Shop the Online Store for all the supplies for this card.

One of the Maui Stamper team members shared this technique with me, and I was smitten. It’s simple to do and I love the pop of color it gives on top of Crumb Cake card stock! Thanks, Brigid. 💕
Stamps: Spotlight on Nature, Changing Leaves
Color Palette: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Berry Burst
Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Greetings of the Season dies, Deckle Rectangles dies, Exposed Brick Embossing Folder, White Embossing Powder, Embossing Buddy and Tray, Heat Tool, White Craft Ink, Stampin’ Write Markers, paintbrush, dauber, Linen Thread, Purple Fine Shimmer Gems, Stampin’ Dimensionals
There’s a lot going on here, but none of it is hard. I embossed the Spotlight on Nature flower on Crumb Cake card stock with White Craft Ink and White Embossing Powder. To get the color to pop, I used a small brush to paint inside the flowers and leaves with White Craft Ink (I didn’t dilute it). Once that dried completely, I colored on top of the White Craft Ink with Stampin’ Write markers.
I am also quite smitten (it’s an excellent word, try it) with the Greetings of the Season dies. They have a little hole in the die so you can tie on your thread or ribbon. I love how clean that little hole is!!
Do you have our Embossing Kit? I’m telling you, it’s worth it just for the little screwed on stopper at the top. No more broken nails trying to get that stupid plug out! Treat yourself, and shop the Online Store.

I’m finally feeling a little bit of Christmas! This Book Treat Box was a lot of fun to cover and embellish. Without “littles” in my house or my neighborhood, Halloween doesn’t get the attention it used to – but I confess that I filled the box with Halloween candy!
Stamps: Greetings of the Season
Color Palette: Basic White, Old Olive, Garden Green
Accessories: Book TreatBox, Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Greetings of the Season dies, Layers of Beauty dies, Something Fancy dies, Gold Foil Paper, Season of Green and Gold DSP, Gold Trim, Stampin’ Dimensionals
I placed the sentiment focal point on the top of the box so that it could make a “keeper” for this little tab. The tab has adhesive on it, but you would have to tear the box open to get inside. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals on either end of the focal point to leave room for the tab.
Inside the box I layered a little sparkle. If you’re like me, the hardest part of something like this is figuring out which panel is on the inside and which panel is on the outside. I played around with it until I was certain, then made tiny little pencil marks on the panels that I wanted to embellish with DSP.
These adorable boxes are currently out of stock, but they’re expected back in the week of November 4. Keep an eye on the Online Store and get yours before they sell out again!

Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper is a great way to step up a card with a minimum of effort and bulk. Today’s Winterly Tree Tops card uses both the Country Woods (all time fave!) and Nature’s Sweetness DSP options to set the stage for a holiday card.
Stamps: Winterly Tree Tops, Greetings of the Season
Color Palette: Basic White, Real Red, Mossy Meadow, Pretty Peacock, Gold
Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Winterly TreeTops dies, Spotlight on Nature dies, Regal Flora dies, Country Woods DSP, Nature’s Sweetness DSP, Iridescent Adhesive Discs, Stampin’ Blends, Stampin’ Dimensionals
That beautiful red filigree is from Regal Flora, and I cut it in half so it would reach from side to side on the card front. It’s a nice alternative to ribbon when you’re looking for a way to tie together two parts of a card.
The Spotlight on Nature dies pair very well with the Deckled Circle dies to create a layer that makes you think wreath but allows that beautiful greenery at the top to take center stage.
Winterly Tree Tops is really versatile! If you’re ready to add it to your stash, shop the Online Store.
It’s finally LIVE! Check out the September – December mini catalog. You’re gonna love it!

If you’ve followed me for very long, you’ll know I love my birdies. These two are quite the Winterly pair: they look as though they’re having a little spat. But they’re doing a good job of looking good while they do!
Stamps: Winterly Tree Tops, Greetings of the Season, Spotlight on Nature
Color Palette: Basic White, Lost Lagoon, Peach Pie, Blueberry Bushel, Peach Pie
Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Winterly Tree Top dies, Spotlight on Nature dies, Summer Splash Bordered Ribbon, Stampin’ Blends, Winter Meadow DSP, 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems, Stampin’ Dimensionals
I used the grid from Spotlight on Nature to add some texture behind the pair. Texture is one of my favorite simple add-ons. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it doesn’t add any volume to the card. I took my coloring cues from that gorgeous Winter Meadow DSP, and I slipped in the Summer Splash ribbon even though it’s nit technically in the paper. I think it works!
If you love birdies too, or maybe just pretty paper, check your stash. If you need a little something, please shop the Online Store.
