I was scrolling Pinterest one day. That’s all i need to say, right? But a card by Colleen Magness caught my eye. She shared a video demonstrating the die stenciling technique. So fun! I had to try it for myself. In case, you haven’t seen it, I’m sharing my interpretation of her technique.
Blessings of Home Die Stenciling Technique
This is how it works:
Choose a stamp set with a die. Flower sets generally work well. Here, I use Blessings of Home. (Find it on page 75 of Stampin’ Up!’s 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. ) The Nature’s Prints stamp set also works well. See a sample of that card below.
Die cut the flower image. It helps to use Thick Basic White card stock.
Stamp the flower image on your card front. (I used a die cut from the new Deckled Rectangle Dies.)
Lay the stencil over the top of the flower.
With a blending brush, apply ink to the image within the stencil portion. I used the same color ink for both. (Blackberry Bliss)
Remove the stencil.
Cool technique, right?
You can then add your own Designer Series Paper, sentiment, and embellishments. Here, I added used a piece of patterned paper from the Design a Daydream 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (have a party and you could earn this free), a sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set, White Seam Binding, and Pearl Basic Jewels colored with Black Berry Bliss Stampin’ Blends.
See the card below for a card that uses a Pool Party color scheme in conjunction with the die stenciling technique.

Each new Stampin’ Up! catalog presents opportunities to play with new stamp sets, Designer Series Paper, embellishments, and more. The Uniquely Artistic stamp set is one of those new products. Find it on page 114 of the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. I received it with my recent registration for a Stampin’ Up! virtual event. It’s one of my favorite things about being a demonstrator: receiving sneak peeks of new products.
When I received the set, I wasn’t quite sure where to start with a card design. So, I turned to the Annual Catalog and used the the samples within for inspiration.
I CASEd the above card from the catalog sample on page 115. It features the colors of Daffodil Delight and Mint Macaron. I embossed the background piece with the Gingham Embossing folder.
Uniquely Artistic Card Samples
The two cards below use heat embossing as the main technique.
The card above uses a sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set punched with the Double Oval Punch. I grabbed the gorgeous piece of Designer Series Paper from the Abstract Beauty 6 x 6 package. (If you love this Designer Series Paper, order it now. It’s going to retire!)
This beautiful card uses products from the Love & Happiness Bundle from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. Hint: This, too, is retiring, so grab it before it’s gone.
See this blog post for more card samples using this brand-new set

I hope you’re enjoying Stampin’ Up!’s new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog! Sometimes, it takes awhile to discover all of the really fun and cool paper crafting products offered. The Mini Pocket Envelope dies present a lot of possibilities. Find this one in the back of the catalog on page 172.You can use any Designer Series Paper, almost any stamp set, and an array of embellishments with the die set to make handmade creations.
My first thoughts ran to treat packet holders. Then, I saw gift card holders — as a stand-alone project and as an attachment to a card. Use them for graduations, weddings, birthdays, and Christmas.
Today, I share a couple of versions of this with you. I know there are so many options!
The pocket can be used alone or on the front of a card.
This die is perfect for a graduation gift card holder.
Let’s not forget Christmas gift card holders.
I hope you enjoy these projects. Be sure to watch the video (a Facebook Live replay from May 17, 2022) to see how i created these holders.

When I purchase a brand-new suite of paper crafting products from Stampin’ Up!, I work with it intensely. I try to create as many card samples as possible with it. So, I recently dug into the new Sun Prints Suite Collection found in Stampin’ Up!’s 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.
I admit I was a little stumped on how to use the round floral image in the Natural Prints Dies. It screams wreath, and I experimented with turning it into a holiday wreath and creating Christmas cards.
I also used Stampin’ Up!’s Christmas to Remember stamp set and a label from the Seasonal Label Dies.
This card features Gold Foil, gold heat embossing, with the sentiment from the Peaceful Deer stamp set.
Be sure to watch the video to see how these cards are created.
