Eden’s Garden Card Samples

Eden's Garden Card Samples

It’s so fun when Stampin’ Up! releases a teaser from upcoming catalogs. And, the Eden’s Garden Collection is gorgeous. The elements from the collection are available now through January 3, 2022 (or while supplies last for the papers and the gems). The stamp set and dies will be available when the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog goes live January 4, 2022.
 
Beginning today (November 2, 2021), you can order the entire collection for $82 by clicking here. The collection includes:
  • Eden’s Garden ($23), a 10-piece cling stamp set with awesome sentiments such as “Sending Hugs,” “Hello There,” and “Let’s Celebrate Everything.”
  • Eden’s Dies ($35), set includes five versatile and fancy dies.
  • Ever Eden 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper ($15). The gold hints and highlights really make this paper shine. This is a limited-edition release, so it’s only available while supplies last. You won’t find this in any upcoming catalog. I recommend purchasing at least one package: It’s gorgeous!
  • Ever Eden Cotton Paper ($8), 10 sheets–five each of two colors: Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent. This is a limited edition release; only available while supplies last.
  • Garden Gems ($7), 140 adhesive-backed gems in Cherry Cobbler and Soft Succulent. Available while supplies last.

Frosted Gingerbread Mini Cards

Frosted Gingerbread Mini Cards

When it comes to Christmas and the holidays, are you a traditionalist? Or do you prefer non-tradiational colors? I experimented with both using Stampin’ Up!’s Frosted Gingerbread Bundle. It comes with the Frosted Gingerbread Stamp Set and the coordinating Gingerbread Dies. Buy them as a bundle and save 10 percent.

The coordinating Gingerbread & Peppermint 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper makes this a versatile and fun combination of products. The colors include Real Red, Old Olive, Early Espresso, and Cinnamon Cider — what might be called your traditional colors.

I love this pack of 48 sheets, You can  use the dies to cut the images directly from the paper, as well as use it for accents and backgrounds.

Frosted Gingerbread Mini Cards

I had much fun experimenting with this bundle and just had to make some 3 x 3 mini cards in a variety of designs. Here’s a sample of the traditional colors using pieces cut from the patterned paper.

Frosted Gingerbread Mini Cards

Mini cards make great teacher gifts, hostess gifts, and stocking stuffers. Or, use them as your own gift tags. They are so easy to make. Cut your base card stock at 6 inches x 3 inches and score at 3 inches. Fold and decorate.

In addition, Stampin’ Up! offers mini envelopes as well as fun acetate boxes that can be decorated to coordinate with the cards. Be sure to view the product list below.

Gorgeous Leaves Thanksgiving Card–Alcohol Blends Technique

Gorgeous Leaves Thanksgiving Card

I love the background of this card. It features the rubbing alcohol and Stampin’ Blends technique. See the video below for a look at how this technique works.

Basically, choose the Stampin’ Blends colors you want to use. Scribble or color on a piece of Vellum Card Stock. For this card, I used Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake. Then, with a paint brush, drip 91 percent rubbing alcohol onto the colored parts. Watch as the ink spreads and merges to make a cool background. Once it’s dry, you can use the vellum for a variety of card-making purposes. You’ll get a different result each time you try this. Experiment and have fun with it!

In addition, this card uses:

Candy Canes Treat Packet

Candy Canes Treat Packet

Love this super easy treat packet! Perfect for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, and treats for friends. I was inspired by a video by Katherine Themann back in August. So many fun ways to change these up with different patterned papers, rubber stamps, holidays and themes. Be sure to watch my video below showing visually how these go together.

I used Stampin’ Up!’s Candy Canes background stamp found in Stampin’ Up!’s July-December Mini Catalog. See this post for other card samples.

Candy Canes Treat Packet

  • Start with piece of Real Red card stock measuring 10 inches by 3 1/4 inches.
  • Score at 1 inch, 4 3/4 inches, and 6 1/4 inch. Fold.
  • Decorate the front and the back of the packet with either stamped card stock (like the Candy Canes) or Designer Series Paper. You need two pieces that measure 3 inches x 3 1/2 inches and one piece that measure 3 inches by 3/4 inches.
  • Add a sentiment and embellish.
  • Trim three inches from one of Stampin’ Up!’s 3 x 9 gusseted cellophone bags. Fill with candy of choice. (This is the best part! — and eating the extras!) Adhere the bag to the inside of the treat packet.
  • Close the treat package with self-adhesive Velcro.
  • Top off with complementary ribbon.

Enjoy a couple of other samples.
