Welcome! Today I am sharing a card I made for the Luv 2 Stamp Group Artisan Design Team. This Christmas card features products from the new Stampin’ Up! 2023 Mini Catalog. Need one? Request your FREE copy here.
I used the Joy To You stamp set, which has great large sentiments to use as a focal point. I gave the sentiment an ombre look by first stamping in Lemon Lime Twist and then adding Shaded Spruce with a dauber.
The patterned paper is from the new Merry Bold & Bright DSP. This is my favorite Christmas paper in the entire catalog because I love bright and non traditional colors for Christmas.
The ribbon is also a new product and while it looks to be blue in some of the image, it is a white iridescent and just happens to pick up the blue from the Blueberry Bushel cardstock underneath. This new ribbon is a dream to tie as well.
I finished off the card with Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs (also a favorite).

I love unexpected color combos and this one does not disappoint. What do you think? I get a lot of my color inspiration from a free Stampin’ Up! resource called Color Coach. In fact, it’s how I came up with the color combos for yesterday’s cards. You can grab yours on my resource page.
Unexpected color combos are a really fun way to add interest to your cards. Share your favorite unexpected color combo with me in the comments below.
Happy Saturday friends! Today I am sharing a card I made for the Luv 2 Stamp Artisan Design Team. If you aren’t familiar with our Hybrid Embossing Folders-you are missing out. They are amazing. For this card I have used Delightful Doily from the Annual Catalog. I started by cutting 1/2 inch strips of cardstock and alternated them on piece of Crumb Cake cardstock. Once I had them adhered, I put the panel inside the Delightful Doily Embossing Folder and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
Next I put one of the dies inside the embossing folder along with a piece of Copper Clay cardstock and ran it through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to emboss and cut the large doily in one pass. To complete the card, I stamped a sentiment and accent from the Color & Contour stamp set onto a piece of Basic White and cut it out with the circle die from the Delightful Doily Hybrid Embossing Folder. Next, I added some splatter with White Craft Ink, some gold Festive Pearls and a piece of Gold Trim.
If you’d like to see how to use our Hybrid Embossing Folders, I have a video here showing how to use Sweet Citrus. Still have questions? Let me know in the comments below.

Happy Thursday! Today I am sharing a Design Team project that features the Friendship Royalty stamp set from Stampin’ Up! I love this set and that it can be for all ages.
Heat embossing is one of my favorite techniques and the stamps in this set really stand out when using this technique.
