The Graceful Evergreen Deer Hot Foil Bundle caught my eye during the pre-release and I just knew it would make beautiful and elegant Christmas cards! I combined it with Silver and Red foil and the Magical Christmas Hot Foil dies and created this easy Christmas card!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, scraps for hot foiling

Let me take you through the Hot Foil System Instructions first.

Plug in the machine and press the White Button – the platform takes a while to heat up – so be patient and wait for the first beep!

When the platform beeps press the white button and play the hot foil dies on the platform.
The platform will beep a last time and the lights will all be lit – when the green light is on you are ready!

Place the foil cut off the rolls sized enough to cover the dies shiny side down over the dies.

Then add the paper over the foil.

Then cover with the Hot Foil Shim and the Hot Foil Spacer in that order.

Unplug the system and roll through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine VERY SLOWLY. You want ample time for the foil to contact with the paper and transfer!
Remove from the machine I roll through forwards and backwards and then remove the foil from the paper and die cut your beautiful deer out using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine with the BASE plate #1, the Small die adaptor p[late #2 and sandwich the paper and the cutting dies inbetween 2 Cutting Plates #3s.

I also placed the Shining Stars smallest star dies on the paper after cutting the deer for absolutely NO FOIL went to waste!

I also plugged the Hot Foil System back in and redid the steps with the reverse Hot Foil Plate. Because this is such a large plate to heat up I deviate from the original instructions here and place the Reverse Hot Foil Plate on the platform immediately after plugging it in to give it extra time to heat up all that metal!
When the platform beeps press the white button and the yellow button will start blinking allow this extra time to heat up the die.

Press the white button after the second beep and the lights will all be on red-yellow and green and start to build your sandwich, Foil shiny side down, cardstock, shim and spacer!

Now I had plenty of Hot Foil Dies to build my Christmas cards both the regular and reverse images! Regular images photographed on the left and reverse images are on the right side!
Now to build an easy Christmas card background for my hot foil dies to shine!

I used the stamps from this bundle and made two masks by stamping directly on my grid paper and cutting them out close to the stamped images.

I stamped two smaller trees in Granny Apple Green ink on the card front.
Covered one of the trees with a mask.
I stamped the larger trees in Shaded Spruce ink both full strength and stamping off to create some color variation and depth.
I added my word Hot Foil Dies from the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies.
Added red foil stars from the Magical Christmas Hot Foil dies and Shining Stars dies.
Added the gorgeous deer die.
And finished the card off with the awesome Christmas embellishments Real Red and White Adhesive-backed Peppermints!

Such a fun Christmas card and the Hot Foil dies make it so elegant!

Try your hand at making some Christmas cards out of your stash today – one stamp at a time!

more color mondays – pretty peacock, gold and pecan pie

more color mondays – pretty peacock, gold and pecan pie

Today’s More Color Monday card is one that we are making in today’s Studio Stamp-a-Stack class it is bold and easy to make!

Occasionally I will revisit an old card sketch challenge to show you another way to interpret the sketch – this time instead of using the circle image literally I used diamonds for the center focal point and changed the colors for a different feel!
This is a re-visitation of Card Sketch #106!

Measurements:
BASE: Pecan Pie CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Pretty Peacock CS: 3″ square, 5/8″ x 3 1/2″
Luxe Foliage Specialty Paper: 2 1/2″ square
Gold Foil CS: 2 1/2″ square
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″

I die cut the Luxe Foliage Specialty Paper with the Tile Garden Die set.
I die cut the Gold Foil with a Stylish Shapes square that was slightly larger than the Tile Garden die chosen.
I die cut the Pretty Peacock square with the larger Tile Garden square die.
I embossed the Basic White CS layer with the Rustic Check 3D embossing Folder
Adhere the embossed layer to the Pecan Pie card base.
Adhere the Gold Foil square at an angle onto the Pretty Peacock square.
Adhere the Luxe Foliage square onto the Gold Foil diamond placing it exactly like the pretty Peacock square.
Stamp the “grateful for you” from the Elegant Leaves stamp set in Versamark ink and heat emboss with WOW Gold embossing powder with a Heat Tool.
Cut banner edges into both ends and pop up the sentiment piece over the diamond focal piece.
Adhere the sentiment focal piece to the upper center of the embossed layer and add Gold Adhesive-Backed Dots as a coordinating accent!

Using challenges can inspire creativity or break a creative block – try some of my past or present color and card sketch challenges!
Now it’s your turn to create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

frosted pinecone spanner card

frosted pinecone spanner card

by | Oct 9, 2026 | card samples, embossing folders, fun fold, In Colors, masculine cards, stamps ink paper, techniques

It’s wild to think that you can take a standard card and with two simple cuts you can create a WOW card. Same dimensionals – TOTALLY different results!

The spanner card starts out as a standard card and then something magical happens with two cuts! Stick around and I will show you how to make this fun fold card!

Measurements:
BASE: Pecan Pie CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Pecan Pie Two-toned CS: (4) 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic White CS: 3 1/4″ x 4″, 1/2″ x 5 1/2″

Score the card base at 4 1/4″.

Place the right-hand edge of the card at 1″ (on the right-hand side of the cutting track) with the top of the card at the top of the Stampin’ Trimmer upper edge and the score line in the middle.

Place the cutting blade at the score line and cut upwards to the top edge of the card at 1″ in.

Move the card base to the right so that the left-hand edge aligns to the 1″ mark at the left hand side of the cutting track.

Place the cutting blade in the score line and cut upwards to the top of the card base.

Move the left-hand edge to the

Take your four 3/4″ pieces of Two-tone cardstock and emboss two of them on the light side in the 3D Textured Tree Ring embossing folder.

Take the other two strips and stamp the splatter image on the light side in Pecan Pie ink.

Adhere the two stamped strips about 1/8″ in on the inside of the card base leaving 1/8″ even border on the sides and top and bottom of the card. Adhere to both sides of the inside of the card (these strips will be hidden underneath the top flaps when the card is closed.)
Blend the diagonal edges of one of the Basic White 3 1/4″ x 4″ pieces and adhere to the middle of the inside of the card base.
Stamp the inside sentiment in Pecan Pie ink to the center of this inside Basic White layer.
Adhere the two embossed strips of Two-tone CS to the front outside panels leaving an even 1/8″ border on top, bottom and sides.
Using the Stampin’ Positioner because of the large stamp image of the pinecone, take the second Basic White 3 1/4″ x 4″ layer and position the layer under the pinecone stamp in the Stampin’ Positioner.

Add Pecan Pie ink to the stamp and stamp onto the Basic White layer.

Using a water painter wet the brush and drawing from the stamped lines inward draw the ink into the pinecone and stem to watercolor the image.

Using a blender pen, dip the tip into the lid of the Peaceful Pine ink pad with ink on it and use the pen like a colored marker and draw over the pine needle images.

Using blending brushes blend the edges of the pinecone layer with Peaceful Pine and Pecan Pie inks.

Using a White Gel pen I added white lines above the Peaceful Pine marker lines to look like a snow effect!

Adhere the pinecone image layer to the center front panel.
Take the 1/2″ strip and stamp a straight line sentiment across the middle of the strip in Pecan Pie ink.

Blend the edges in Pecan Pie ink and a blending brush.

Add adhesive ONLY 3/4″ in from the outside edges and secure over the two outside panels of the card – this creates a “spanner” piece to connect the two outside panels to act as one unit and “span” the gap leaving the middle panel to become another layer to the card!

This is what the card looks like when you lift the first spanner layer open to reveal layer number 2 which is the card front’s original middle panel!
Adhere three embellishments to the spanner strip and this WOW card is completed!

Try making a spanner card soon with your own stash and see how easy it is to make something special! Now it’s your turn to create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

winter birthday card

winter birthday card

by | Oct 2, 2026 | card samples, Christmas card ideas, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, embossing folders, In Colors, masculine cards, specialty papers, techniques

Today’s card is a great Dreamy Snowflakes Winter Birthday card with the NEW Winter Dreams Specialty flocked paper in Secret Sea!
So elegant and fun – soft to the touch and great patterns!

Measurements:
BASE: Secret Sea CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White CS: (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″, 3″ square for die
DSP: 2 1/4″ square

Stamp the birthday sentiment I chose the “have a beautiful birthday” from the Poetic Petals stamp set on one of the Basic White CS layers.
Emboss the first Basic white layer with the sentiment with the Dreamy Snowflakes embossing folder.
Take the second Basic white layer and stamp the trio of snowflakes in Secret Sea ink and blend the edges with a blending brush and Secret Sea ink.
Adhere the trio snowflake stamped layer to the inside of the Secret Sea card base.
Adhere the sentiment layer on the front of the card base.
Using the middle square die from the Tile Garden die set, die ciut the 3″ Basic White CS square.

Cut the Specialty paper Winter Dreams to 2 1/4″ square.

Blend the die edges with a blending brush and Misty Moonlight ink.
Adhere the DSP to the Blended die cut square.
Pop up the DSP square on Stampin’ Dimensionals to the top center of the embossed layer.
Adhere the Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes to finish off this lovely winter birthday card!
I made to alternative cards with the extra watercolored paper from the card this past week. I first made the card embossing the Basic White layer before stamping the sentiment so I added the sentiment to a leftover watercolored Fluid 100 paper.
Instead of an embossed layer I used the rest of the watercolored paper for the background layer!
I love all the different versions and these Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes are such a sweet embellishment!

Try making a winter birthday card for your stash – now it’s your turn to create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

more color mondays – misty moonlight, secret sea and smoky slate

more color mondays – misty moonlight, secret sea and smoky slate

by | Sep 28, 2026 | card samples, Christmas card ideas, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, fun fold, In Colors, masculine cards, more color mondays, new catalog, techniques, watercolor

Today’s More Color Monday color challenge features hues of blue and silver – Misty Moonlight, Secret Sea, and Smoky Slate.

The Dreamy Snowflakes Bundle is packed full of possibilities with a great stamp set, hybrid embossing folder and lovely snowflake dies!

This is a great watercolored Gate Fold card with added corners to tuck this pretty pocket card in to hold the gate fold closed – love this application! Follow along today for all the details and measurements!

Measurements:
BASE: Secret Sea CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 2 1/8″ and 6 3/8″, 2 1/2″ square
Fluid 100 Watercolor paper: 1-2 sheets
DSP: 2 1/4″ square
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Smoky Slate CS: 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″

Place drops of ink from the ink refill bottles on three different acrylic blocks, one for each color: Misty Moonlight, Secret Sea and Smoky Slate.
Take an entire sheet of Fluid 100 Watercolor paper and water the entire surface with the wide Water Painter brush.
Pick up color from the ink resevoir on the acrylic blocks and dap onto the wetted Watercolor paper surface, allow the paint to run and drift with the water – add more water if the ink color is not running freely.
Pick up another color and do the same dabbing color into the white wet space on the watercolor paper allowing the ink to drift and blend into the surrounding areas.
Continue to dab color and fill in the white space adding more water as needed and more color to balance out the space.
When you like the result you can allow to dry which will take a very long time or you can drop a paper towel onto the surface to soak up the excess ink and water (keep in mind these two processes will give two completely different results allowing to dry naturally will provide more vivid color but takes patience and a lot of drying time or faster results with the paper towel and drying with the heat tool after is far faster but the paper towel will take away a lot of the ink color and give you a more muted effect.
I was ok with the more muted effect because I picked strong dark colors, so I blotted the excess and dried with the heat tool!
I stamped the border stamp in the three ink colors on the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer and added the two smaller snowflake images in Misty Moonlight ink and Secret Sea ink.
I added the inside sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink at the top center of the paper.
Adhere this layer to the inside center panel of the card base.
Cut the Secret Sea and Winter Dreams Specialty DSP in half diagonally.
Adhere the DSP to the Secret Sea matte diagonal.
Cut the watercolor paper to 1 7/8″ x 5 1/4″ twice.
Adhere the strips of watercolored paper to the outside gate fold panels.
Keep in mind that he diagonal cuts are longer than the Gate fold side panels to which we are going to attach them to so be mindful not to add glue to the bottom inside tip of the triangle as it will hang over the edge of the card panel.

Place a thin strip of Multipurpose glue to the outside and bottom edge of the triangle – DO NOT place glue on the bottom inside tip leave about 1/2″ glueless.

Adhere the triangles to the bottom corners of the two gate fold panels with the diagonal edges on the inside of the gate fold panels.
Cut a 4 1/2″ segment of the Gold and Secret Sea Satin Ribbon and fold in half and lay at the top of the Smoky Slate layer.
Cut a 1 1/4″ x 4″ strip of watercolor paper from the inked watercolor paper and stamp the snowflakes in the three colors over the surface.

Adhere over the ribbon at the top of the Smoky Slate layer.

Stamp the Merry Christmas sentiment in the center in Secret Sea ink.

Cut a large snowflake from the Dreamy Snowflakes die set and adhere to the center over the ribbon and watercolor paper.

I initially added Basic Rhinestone Jewels to finish off the card. I did not think they added enough contrast and thought the pocket card needed a little more stamping – let me know if you like the more plain version or the stepped up one!

This is the simpler version photographed.
I decided to step up the pocket card by adding a few stamped snowflakes on the sides and the center bottom.
I decided to make one more change…

I added the new Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes in Secret Sea for the embellishment as I thought the embellishments needed some contrast color.

What do you think?

Sometimes you think you are done with a card and you look at it and realize that it needs just a little more or a tweek here or there – that is what this card was telling me! Ever have that little voice tell you something needs just a little more!!

Now it’s your turn to create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

I always love these Demonstrator Swap card posts because I get to show you all so many lovely projects and ideas! My group of friends and demonstrators that faithfully swap almost every month are some of the sweetest and most creative people and I LOVE getting to show off their work to you!

Today’s first card uses the Mosaic Garden Suite of products from the NEW September to December catalog and Carol S. uses the Softly Woven 3D EF in Hydrangea Hue CS, the Mosaic Garden DSP, the Tile Garden Bundle.

Kathi D made a sweet card using the Velvet Meadows DSP and the Sweet Words and Labels Bundle.
Kathi D. made another card for last month’s card using the Winter Adventure bundle and the Whispering Woods DSP with a very cool explosion fun fold.
This great masculine card from Jeanna T. features the Wrapped Greenery Bundle and the 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery DSP.
Sharon S. made a fun fold card called the secret message slider which I detailed on my January 16th, 2026 blog post if you want to look back to see how this is made! She used the Violet Dreams DSP, the Shimmering Stripes Specialty paper and the Thinking of You bundle in hues of Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather!
Denise’s swap card uses the beautiful new Sunflower Fields DSP and the Radient Foils Specialty Paper with the Radiant Sunflowers bundle!
My last card to show you is a stunner from Lori V. but I do not know the official fun fold name it cobines the mechanics of a bendy card and an M fold card so I am calling it the M Fold Bendy card – ingenious right? LOL!!! Regardless of what you call it it is gorgeous! Using the Product GIVE BACK – if you purchase this DSP called Whispering Woods Stampin’ Up! will donate $3 to charities that spread holiday cheer! You can make beautiful cards and give back – HOW GREAT IS THAT!!

I have multiple views of this fun fold below because you just have to see it from all angles – I will be doing my own version soon! Stay Tuned!

It folds flat like a regular card but the edges flip out and the layer on the front bends outward! The sentiment comes from the Soiree Salutations stamp set.

I hope all of these great cards brought you some awesome inspiration for the upcoming holiday season full of cards and gifts and possibilities!

Now it’s your turn to create some holiday magic – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
Natalie
