Here's another sneak peek of a card from the mini catalog that starts next week. I stamped the dragonfly with the "Dragonfly Garden" set and cut it out with the coordinating punch. I colored the wings in with a Calypso Coral Watercolor Pencil. The background paper is from the Neutrals 6 x 6 DSP and the new Dandy Garden DSP, then I cut it out with the Stitched Rectangles Dies. The dandelions were made with the Sweet Silhouettes Dies and the card with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.
Here's a little preview of a set coming out in January. It's called "Sweet Ice Cream" and it has a coordinating punch, ribbon, and DSP.
This is a simple, but pretty one from "Curvy Christmas" with coordinating Classic Christmas DSP. These are only available for a couple more weeks!
Here's another card from the "Gnome for the Holidays" set. I stamped everything in Real Red and then embossed it with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to make the frame around the words. Last, I made a little bow with the Real Red Braided Linen Trim.
Don't you love this cute little moose? He's from the "Merry Moose" stamp set and it has a coordinating punch. I used the paper from the Plaid Tidings DSP collection and the Delightful Tag Topper Punch. The background was made with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. The twine is from the Playful Pets Ribbon Combo.
This wintery card is from the "In the Pines" set with coordinating Pine Woods Dies. These dies have several different tree shapes and sizes. I stamped the trees in Just Jade and the outline in Shaded Spruce. The background was made with the Evergreen Forest Embossing Folder.
One of my favorite sets in the mini catalog is "Gnome for the Holidays". It has three cute little gnomes, a gnome tree house, and several sentiments. I used the Greenery Duo Embossing Folder on both cards and the Layering Circles Dies to make the little window. The top card was made with Heartwarming Hugs DSP (Real Red & Granny Apple Green) and Toile Tidings DSP (Real Red & Just Jade) for the bottom one. I cut the little gnome out, attached him to the backside of the window, and then popped the center piece up with Dimensionals.
This limited time set called "Curvy Christmas" is available now while supplies last. You can also purchase the coordinating Curvy Dies to make these beautiful curves. I stamped the stars in Versamark and heat embossed them with White Embossing Powder. Then, I used some Snowflake Splendor DSP for the middle layer. Last, I stamped the words in Night of Navy and added some little snowflakes from the same set.
This card has several different elements from the "Festive Post" set. I cut out Shaded Spruce card stock with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. Then, I stamped the images and cut them in rectangles to fit on those backgrounds. I made the white background with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. Last, I added some ribbon from the Playful Pets Ribbon Combo Pack.
I used the Sweetest Borders Dies to cut out these cute candy canes. The words are from the coordinating "Sweetest Time", stamped in Real Red, and cut out with the Stitched Rectangles dies. I used the Little Details Embossing Folder (duo) to make the loopy edging and the Winter Snow Embossing Folder to make the snowflakes in the background.
. . . and just like that, we're back into Christmas cards. This shaker card was made with the "Snowflake Wishes" stamp set and coordinating So Many Snowflakes dies. This die set has many snowflakes which I cut out with Pool Party card stock, Misty Moonlight card stock, and Silver Foil Paper, but it also has a snowflake window shaped piece too. I used Snowflake Splendor DSP behind the window and embossed the top (Whisper White) with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. I used a Window Sheet with Foam Strips to pop it up and put Snowflake Sequins in the middle. I added some Pool Party Sheer Ribbon and the words are from "Peace & Joy".
Happy Halloween from my six little pumpkins: Blake, Nash, Crew, Finn, Oliver, and Cameron!
This cutie card was made from the "Coming Home" set and coordinating Home Together Dies. I stamped some Trimming the Town DSP and then cut the trees out. I put a little snowflake DSP on top of the circle and then added the house to that. I used the Winter Snow Embossing Folder to make the background and layered some Snowflake Splendor Ribbon under that. The words were cut from the DSP and popped up on Dimensionals.
This is one of my favorite Christmas cards this season. I stamped the words with "Banner Year" in Real Red on thick Whisper White card stock. I embossed the tree with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder and the circle with the Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folders (pair). I cut the circle with the Stitched Shapes Dies and put that on the cute plaid paper from the Paid Tidings collection. I added a little bow with some Baker's Twine from the Playful Pets Ribbon Combo.

Last, I added some Adhesive Snowflakes and some Pool Party Sheer Ribbon.

These Happy Dies are the easiest dies to make a fast card with. I cut the HAPPY out in Night of Navy and the pennants in Calypso Coral. I placed a piece of DSP from the Playing with Patterns collection under the word. I used the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder with Coastal Cabana card stock to make the card base. The "birthday" is from the coordinating "So Much Happy Set".

I cut them out in Pool Party, So Saffron, Terracotta Tile and mounted them on a piece of DSP from the Plaid Tidings collection. The words are from "Many Mates". Which do you like better, mounted on So Saffron or mounted on Pool Party?

I haven't used these dies in awhile, but I love them! Well Written has tons of scripty words to choose from plus these stems and bird. I used the light Blends in Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana, and Misty Moonlight and colored streaks across Whisper White card stock. Then, I cut out the stems and bird from that. I mounted it on Whisper White card stock and mounted that on Coastal Cabana card stock that I embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder. The words are stamped in Misty Moonlight from "Many Mates".
Sometimes I wish fall would come a little sooner, or at least it would cool down a bit. This cute leaf was cut out with the Stitched Leaves Dies. I used the striped fall paper from the Gilded Autumn DSP collection and popped it up with Dimensionals. I put a piece of Mint Macaroon card stock embossed with the Greenery Embossing Folder Duo. The words are from "Many Mates" and I added some ribbon from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack to finish it off.
I cut the vellum and the banners with the Tasteful Labels Dies and used the In Good Taste DSP Collection for all the wood/texture pieces.

I cut out the goat with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and the words with the Stitched Shapes Dies. Last, I added some Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.

I used Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Mint Macaron.
It's hard to believe there are four months until Christmas, this has been such a strange year. I thought I would post another holiday card before going back to cards in the big catalog.

This cute DSP is from the Trimming the Tree collection and the background was made with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder.
Here's a brand new set from the new mini (formerly known as the Holiday Mini). It's called "Gift Wrapped" and it has a coordinating bow punch. I stamped it in Real Red and popped up one of the bows with Dimensionals. I cut the word frame out with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies from the big catalog.
