Below are cards that I made using the Lights Aglow designer paper pack from Stampin' Up! (available through December 2022) These are made the same way as the cards in the video - but using the different paper, greetings and labels gives a different look. This paper has shiny gold accents - and the cards are much more BEAUTIFUL in real life!

If you aren't ready to make Christmas cards yet - you can still make this kind of card for any occassion. The cards below are made using He's the Man designer paper - which includes the die cut labels I used on the front of these cards..

The cards below were made using the designer paper called, Design a Daydream. This is a hostess exclusive pack of paper - which can only be purchased using Stampin' Rewards.

These are the first cards I made with the new 2021-23 In Color Collection. All of these colors are gorgeous in real life - and they work so well togehter. These cards show you how well the card stock, ink, ribbon, and embellishements all match perfectly!

For all of these cards, I started with a Basic White thick card base, then added a layer of In Color card stock. I cut a piece of Basic White card stock using the largest scallop rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The stamped images are from the Tasteful Touches stamp set. I added ribbon and jewels to each card.

For this card I embossed the Polished Pink card stock layer using the Ornate Floral 3D embossing foler.

I did not use an embossing folder on the card on the left (Pale Papaya.) For the card on the right (Fresh Freesia) I used the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.

Finally, for the dark green (Evening Evergreen) card, I used the Evergreem Forest 3D embossing folder. The greetings on these two cards are from a new stamp set called, Inspired Thoughts. The new light green color is called Soft Succulent.

I have made several more sets of cards using products from the new Stampin' Up! annual catalog - and I have an order in for even MORE new products. So be sure to check back, or sign up to be notified when I post to my blog.
