  • Drip drops of reinkers onto baby wipes. I used Wild Wheat, Early Espresso, Pretty Peacock, and Cajun Craze.
  • Cover the area. It has to be large to accommodate the large background stamp.
  • Dip the stamp in the baby wipe and then stamp on the Very Vanilla card stock.

When the calendar turns to September, it’s time to starting thinking about creating those fall cards. For me, the perfect bundle is Stampin’ Up!’s Changing Leaves Bundle. It includes the Changing Leaves Stamp Set and the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder. Buy them as a bundle, and receive a 10 percent discount. You won’t find this bundle in the catalog. It’s one of the Online Exclusives releases, and it’s been highly popular. 

I think you’ll see why it’s been a sought-after item with just a few of the cards I show you in this post today. Be sure to watch the Facebook live replay below to see how this awesome hybrid embossing folder works. It embosses AND die cut sat the same time. And the result is stunning! I show quite a few samples in the video in addition to the few featured in this post.

These measurements will help you create this card at home for the card featured at the beginning of this post:

  • Basic Beige cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4

Hang an Ornament All is Merry

Hang an Ornament All is Merry 

Are you a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas cards? Do you prefer the holiday colors of reds and greens? Or do you like something a little different?

I find I’m a little bit of both!

For today’s card, I steered more toward the non-traditional with Night of Navy and gold while using Stampin’ Up!’s Hang an Ornament Bundle, now available from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. I think you’ll love the price point of this bundle at $29.50. It lends itself to creating some quick and easy, but beautiful holiday cards.
