Triangle Santa Hat Card
Like most card makers and crafters, all the beautiful paper attracts my attention, including Stampin’ Up!’s Red Velvet found on page 63 of Stampin’ Up! August-December Mini Catalog. You get two sheets of 12 x 12 soft flocked card stock for $6. It works well for both punches and dies. I decided to have some fun with it and created a Santa hat! In fact, I couldn’t decide on some of the elements, so I made two.
This first card includes:
Pear Pizzazz card stock base
Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper cut at 5 1/2 inches by 4 1/4 inches
Pear Pizza layer cut at 5 inches by 3 1/2 inches and embossed with Subtle Embossing Folder
Pom pom created with Small Bloom Punch and run through the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder
Hat band created with piece from Rectangle Dies and run through the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder
Letters die cut with Playful Alphabet Dies and Red Velvet. (I attached Adhesive Sheets to the dies before running them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine. That makes it easier to apply letters to the card front.)
Red Rhinestone embellishments
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to visit all of the blog to grab some paper crafting inspiration.

Whimsical and fun, the super cute animals work well for both kid and adult cards and projects. They also lend themselves well to coloring. Although I used Stampin’ Up!’s Stampin’ Blends, you could also use color pencil, watercolor pencils, Water Painters, Stampin’ Write Markers, or even Crayons to dress us these holiday themed graphics.
This guy is just precious. I stamped him with Black Memento Ink and colored him with Stampin’ Up!’s Crumb Cake and Real Red Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment comes from the Banner Year stamp set, and the piece is layered on one of the designs from the “Tis the Season 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.
You can’t get more fun than an ice skating polar bear! He’s colored with the Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends to match the color scheme of the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper.
This card features singing mice! I also used the 6 x 6 Christmas Classic Designer Series Paper (available with the new Curvy Celebrations offering). Once again, I colored with Stampin’ Blends. This is just perfect for the piano teacher for whomI created this card. The sentiment comes from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set.
I hope you’ve enjoyed my Warm and Toasty Card Samples. Please let me know how I can help you in your paper crafting journey. If you’re not currently working with a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I’d love it if you would choose me.

Maui Achievers October 2020 Blog Hop Projects
I love many things about Stampin’ Up! products. I love the color coordination. The card stock matches the ink matches the markers matches the ribbon matches the ribbon. You get the idea! But I also appreciate the product versatility. The stamps, ink, paper, and accessories lend themselves to a variety of projects, in addition to greeting cards and memory keeping. I enjoy creating home decor with my Stampin’ Up! goodies.
Today, I’m sharing two holiday themed framed projects — one a bit more traditional and the other whimsical. Which is your favorite?
The “Let It Snow” frame features the Snowman Season stamp set and the coordinating Snowman Builder Punch (from the Annual Catalog) as well as the Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper embossed with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder (Mini Catalog).
See the list of products at the end of this post. Please let me know if you have questions about today’s projects. If you’re not currently working with a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I’d love to help you with your papercrafting supplies and projects.
Thanks for hopping with us today. Look for us next month!
Today, I’m sharing a Tree Angle Winter Card Sample. Scroll to the end of the post for a how-to video.
As paper crafters, I think we can agree we all love paper — all kinds of paper! It always catches my eye first in the catalog. I especially love Stampin’ Up!’s Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper and the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper. Find them in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.
I wanted to use them both in the same card. I die cut the trees using Stampin’ Up!’s Stitched Triangles Dies
To create a winter scene, I layered the trees on Balmy Blue Card Stock embossed with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. The sentiment comes from the Tree Angle Stamp Set.
In addition, I created my own colored ribbon using the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends and the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding. This works as both a winter and a holiday card.
Be sure to watch this video that shows how the card goes together. Hop over to my YouTube Channel and subscribe. I add one video a week featuring different techniques and cards.
