Peaceful Deer Card
Hello!
Today’s card features the Peaceful Deer stamp set and coordinating Deer Builder Punch. The stamp set and punch were introduced as a bundle in the 2021 Holiday Mini Catalog and I didn’t purchase it at the time. I was happy to see that it carried over into the current Annual Catalog so I was able to purchase it this year. It is such a nice stamp set, filled with lovely images, and yes, you can create many peaceful scenes with these stamps. We made this card in the Christmas card classes I held last week.
Here is how I made the card.
- Card base – cut a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
- Cut one piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock and one piece of Old Olive cardstock at 2 1/2″. Cut strips from two different pieces of the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper at 2 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ and adhere to the cardstock pieces. Adhere to card front.
- Stamp deer with Crumb Cake ink on a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock. Punch out with Deer Builder punch.
- Cut a 3″ square piece of Basic White cardstock and run through die cutting machine with the third largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies. Stamp ground with Soft Suede ink. Stamp two of the smallest trees with Mossy Meadow ink, stamping off before stamping onto the cardstock. Stamp the stars with Smoky Slate ink. Cut a 3 1/4″ square of Evening Evergreen cardstock and run through die cutting machine with the second largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies and adhere to stamped piece.
- Adhere circle to card front. Adhere deer to the top of the circle with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few gold Festive Pearls for a bit of bling. Add shine to the deer, trees and stars with Wink of Stella.
- Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp ground twice with Soft Suede ink. Stamp the second largest tree at bottom left with Mossy Meadow ink, stamping off before stamping onto the cardstock. Stamp greeting from the Brightest Glow stamp set with Evening Evergreen ink. Adhere to inside of card.
Here are a few pictures from the three classes I held. several people were MIA when I took the photos!

Scary Silhouettes Card
Hello!
Today’s card features the Scary Silhouettes Dies from the holiday mini catalog. I’ve loved celebrating Halloween ever since I was a small child. I have made Halloween cards for years, but hadn’t offered a class for several years because my customers didn’t seem interested. However, I decided to offer a class this year and I got a great response, so was able to hold two sessions last week. This one of the cards we made and everyone had fun playing with the die cuts!
Here is how I made the card.
- Card base – cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
- Cut a piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock at 3 3/4″ x 5″. Cut a piece of the Black & White Designs Designer Series Paper with the stars at 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ and adhere to the Pumpkin Pie piece. Adhere to Rich Razzleberry piece and adhere to card front.
- Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 2 3/8″ x 2 7/8″. Color the piece with blending brushes. Color the top of the piece with Pumpkin Pie ink. Color the middle with Rich Razzleberry and then color the bottom with Blackberry Bliss ink. Go over each color as many times as you need with the blending brushes until you get the depth of color that you like.
- Cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock at 2 3/8″ x 2 7/8″ and run it through a die cutting & embossing machine with the tree branch die. Adhere to the piece colored with the blending brushes. Run a scrap piece of Basic Black cardstock through the machine with the haunted house die. Adhere house to bottom of the tree branch piece. Adhere to front of card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Run a scrap piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock through a die cutting machine with the second smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Stamp greeting with Memento Black ink. I used a greeting from Wicked Cool, a long-retired stamp set that I kept because it is one of my favorite Stampin’ Up! Halloween stamp sets! Adhere to lower right corner of the tree branch piece with Stampin’ Dimenionals.
- Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp with greeting and adhere to inside of card.

Forever Fern Fun Fold Card
Hello!
Today’s cards feature the Forever Fern stamp set and coordinating Forever Flourishing Dies, along with the Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper. I recently attended Stampapalooza, an online stamping retreat. One of the activities was a mystery project, where a series of clues were posted that included supplies needed, cutting and scoring dimensions, etc. I had an unopened package of Pretty Prints DSP waiting to be used, and once I decided on the DSP, the rest of the card quickly fell into place! I immediately thought that the Forever Fern stamp set and Fern 3D Embossing Folder would look great with the paper. The first card I made used Evening Evergreen as the main color and later on I went back and made two other cards with Blackberry Bliss and Bermuda Bay. Give this fun fold a try. It is easy to make and is also a great way to showcase DSP and coordinating stamps! I made a few Halloween cards using this fold too.
Here is how I made the cards,
- Card base – cut a piece of cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″. Score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder. Cut off a 1 1/2″ piece from the front side of the cardstock and trim it down to 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″.
- Cut a piece of DSP at 2 3/8″ x 5 3/8″ and adhere to card front.
- Run 1 1/2″ strip through a die cutting & embossing machine with the Fern 3D Embossing folder.
- Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Adhere the embossed piece to the right edge. Stamp one of the fern images from the stamp set at bottom left.
- Cut a piece of cardstock at 3 1/2″ x 3″ and score at 1/2″ with the long side at the top of your trimmer. Fold on score line and give a sharp crease with a bone folder. Run a line of liquid glue or adhesive along the 1/2″ side. Center this piece in the middle of the Basic White cardstock piece and adhere. Adhere the entire piece to the inside of the card.
- Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 2 3/4″ square. On a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp one of the fern images and run through die cutting and embossing machine with the coordinating die. Adhere to Basic White square piece at an angle. Stamp the speckled image several times around the fern. Stamp “hello” at bottom right. Adhere to front flap. Embellish with a few rhinestones.
Colors used for this card: Cardstock: Evening Evergreen for card base, Soft Succulent for fun fold flap; Ink: Evening Evergreen for greeting, Soft Succulent for ferns, Soft Sea Foam for the speckles
Colors used for this card: Cardstock: Bermuda Bay for card base, Coastal Cabana for fun fold flap; Ink: Evening Evergreen for greeting, Coastal Cabana for ferns, Pool Party for the speckles.
Colors used for this card: Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss for card base, Rich Razzleberry for fun fold flap; Ink: Blackberry Bliss for greeting, Rich Razzleberry for ferns, Fresh Freesia for the speckles.
