Welcome to Team Stamp It’s November Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here! This month, we feature handmade cards and projects around a Christmas theme. Be sure to visit all of the blogs on the hop. Leave a comment and have a chance to win a Confetti Birthday Card Kit.
My contribution to the hop is this sparkly Christmas card using pieces from the Reindeer Fun Dies and the Festive 12 x 12 Glimmer Paper.
Do you see the wreath die on the right? Well, the little circle pieces featured in the card above come from the wreath center. I couldn’t let those go to waste!
Reindeer Days Festive Glimmer Card
See these details and measurements:
Real Red card stock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
Granny Apple Green card stock measuring 5 1/4 x 4
Basic White card stock measuring 5 x 3 3/4
Festive Glimmer wreath centers: Attach to Basic White panel and run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. This is known as the Embedded Embossing Technique.
Sentiment heat embossed with white on the Cherry Cobbler Glimmer paper. Did you know you can heat emboss on Stampin’ Up!’s glimmer paper? What a fun technique.

Yay! Stampin’ Up!’s holiday catalog is now here! The September-December 2024 Mini Catalog was live Wednesday, August 4, 2024. What does that mean? It means you can start shopping for the paper crafting goodies to create your fall and holiday cards. It’s filled with brand new stamp sets, dies, bundles, Designer Series Paper, ribbons, and embellishments. So much to love.
In today’s post, I share a few cards created with a brand-new bundle — Hang an Ornament. The unique design allows you to create a “pop out” ornament that recipients can hang on the tree or use as a gift tag.
I love the price point of this bundle. It sells for $29.50. Find it on page 44 of the new holiday mini catalog. In addition, on all three cards in today’s post, I used the Take a Bow 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.

Greetings of the Season Card Sample
Today, I’m playing with the Greetings of the Season Bundle. The sentiments and die cuts are perfect for creating handmade Christmas cards as well as tags and small gifts.
The card itself features the heat embossing technique and the inlaid embossing technique. Be sure to watch the video below to get tips to create this card at home. Here are some measurements and details to help you get started.
Thick Basic White cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
Basic White cardstock panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4
Gold Foil Sheet measuring 5 1/4 x 1 1/2
Technique: I glued the foil to the Basic White cardstock panel and ran the whole piece through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder.
I die cut images from the Season of Green & Gold 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper and the Golden Greenery Dies. Can I just say this patterned paper is gorgeous. The 12 x 12 sheets feature greenery and many of the sheets shimmer with gold and gold accents.
Heat embossed the sentiment in gold and die cut with Greetings of the Season Dies.
Embellished with gold Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems and the Gold 1/8″ trim.
