We really need to get back into sending handmade cards during the Holiday season. The Timeless Tidings Project Kit will make it quick and easy.
These elegant cards will make you look like a professional cardmaker in no time at all. The Timeless Tidings Project Kit makes 20 cards, 5 each of 4 designs, one more beautiful than the next. The kit includes 20 printed card bases and envelopes with gold foil edges. You can’t get any more professional looking than that. I remember when I was a little girl and we received a Christmas card in a fancy gold edged envelope, I knew it was extra special.
The Timeless Tidings Project Kit also includes lots of beautiful gold foil and printed die-cut accents and backgrounds. You will even receive 80 green and champagne rhinestone jewels to give your cards that extra special sparkle.
Ok, aren’t these just gorgeous? The four designs are elegant, yet just take minutes to stamp, assemble and embellish. Pair the Timeless Tidings Project Kit with the Timeless Tidings stamp set and you’ll have all you need to get these done. But, wait, you can also step them up with a few die-cuts and punches, if you so desire.
These are my stepped up versions using the same kit. That’s right, I started off with the Timeless Tidings Project Kit and Bam! stepped it up.
I’m loving how this one turned out. I added a die cut in the background from the Detailed Baubles Thinlits Dies. Adding the scallop circle of Cherry Cobbler really made the sentient pop. And our Gold Metallic Thread added just the perfect bit of wispy goodness.
Our Merry Christmas to All Bundle has big beautiful words and die cuts that are easy to use and incorporate into your card making. I used the bundle to die cut the “Merry”. The sprig punch made it quick and easy to add just a little something to bling it up.
Isn’t it funny how a little piece of ribbon can dress things up. And it’s not really Christmas without at least one snowflake. I love the way Stampin’ Up! products all coordinate. Makes creating very quick and easy.
This one has to be my favorite. I punched a starburst from our gorgeous Gold Glimmer paper, added a strip of Cherry Cobbler card stock to the main image and dressed things up with the Merry Merlot ribbon. But the star of the show, in my opinion, is the beautiful die cut from our Delicate Lace Edgelits.
I’m happy to show you how I put these together in my FREE video tutorial.

Copper Shimmer Paint – YUMMY!!!!! Wait until you see all the fabulous things you can do with this pot of shimmery goodness. The Dashing Deer was calling out to me, please make me shimmer.
I recently participated in a Holiday Catalog Card Swap and received a fantastic double z-fold card from a fellow demonstrator, Julie Mannino. Lots of folks that saw it on my Alaska Achiever’s Card Swap video, asked that I demo the card. I loved Julie’s card, but I also wanted to put my spin on the design elements. I want to thank her so much for the fantastic fold and inspiration.
Remember, the Copper Shimmer Paint was calling my name. I broke out my Stamparatus, stamped that fabulous detailed deer in Soft Suede. Then, shook up my copper shimmer paint, uncapped it to reveal some of the paint in the cap. I dipped my dauber into the cap and randomly dabbed it on the stamp. Closed the Stamparatus door once more to stamp. Opened the door and voila, copper shimmer paint stamped onto my dashing deer. I LOVE it!!!
I know it’s really tough to see in the photographs. But, trust me, it’s fantastic and you gotta try it. It’s one of those ah ha moments. To give my copper shimmer paint dashing deer even more texture, I embossed the Whisper White mat with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder. Next, I wanted to stamp those sweet little smaller deer images.
Can you see that yummy shimmer on the ground? First, I stamped the images onto the Whisper White cardstock in Soft Suede. The Softly Falling folder was used again, but less snow this time. Washing on some Shaded Spruce ink with my aqua painter gave a ground for the little deers to stand on. But, since it was snowing we needed some shimmer on the ground. So instead of the copper shimmer paint, this time I used our Frost White. Painting in on with a small paint brush gave me the control I needed to get the effect just right.
The double z-fold looks dramatic, but is really very each to put together. I would love to teach you how in my FREE video tutorial.
Here’s how the magic happens.
Card Base – Merry Merlot CS – 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″
Z-Fold Panel – Shaded Spruce CS – 3 1/8″ x 10″, scored at 4 1/2″ and 7 1/4″

Sentiment – Whisper White CS – 2 1/2″ x 4″; run embossing buddy over surface, stamp the sentiment in versa mark, sprinkle with gold embossing powder and heat set with the heat tool. Punch out the image with the Everyday Label Punch. Merry Merlot CS – punch one image using the Everyday Label Punch. Cut the image in half, lengthwise and set glue the sections to the top and bottom of the sentiment.
Deer – Whisper White CS – 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ – Using the Stamparatus, stamp the large detailed deer in Soft Suede. Ink up a sponge dauber with the Copper Shimmer Paint and dab the shimmer paint onto the stamp. Stamp again. Cut out the image with the coordinating die.

Oh, my, I was a lucky lucky girl to win the Beautiful Baubles stamp set in a prize patrol on our Alaska Trip Achievers Cruise. I just knew, as soon as I could, that I would be ordering the matching Detailed Baubles Thinlits Dies. I recently hosted our WOW Team Holiday Swap and this was my card. I’ld like to take a moment to brag, if I may. I have the most talented, creative awesome team EVER!!!!
Before I get into the details on my card. Check out my Team Members creations. But wait, before you do, beware, they are going to make you want so many new products in our Holiday Catalog, you might need to grab another wish list.
First up, Nancy Sanders, Stampin’ on Sanders’ Pond, created this fabulous Fall card using the products in the Country Lane Suite. The chicken wire and Tin Tile Embossing Folder give this elegant card lots of texture and dimension. One of the best parts, she didn’t have to fussy cut the flowers! Brilliant!!!
Molly Downing, crating Memories with Molly, used two suites in her spectacular creation. The Joyous Noel and Peaceful Poinsettia just can’t be missed. I absolutely love the inlay technique she used. And did you see all that yummy glimmer paper in new colors?
Lisa Lepine is one of the newest members of my team and one talented lady. She used lots of the Dashing Deer DSP that you can earn for free, with a qualifying order/workshop, during September. Doesn’t this one remind you of a Christmas present, all wrapped up and ready to share.
WOW, Helene Hebert, used the products in the Frosted Floral Suite. Wait until you see the Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper in person. They are all shimmery, yummy sheets of 12×12 goodness. This bundle will take your card making and memory creating past the holidays.
Told ya, talented right? I can’t wait for our next swap to see what these ladies come up with. In the meantime, let’s get back to my Beautiful Baubles card.
I wish I could have captured the detail, shine and dimension in this card better. The gold embossing of the beautiful baubles really pops. But, I wanted to step it out a notch and make the ornaments look like glass. So, I applied a layer of sheen with our Fine Tip Glue Pen.
Those sweet little leaves are fantastic Sprig Punch! That’s right, quick and easy. And that absolutely gorgeous gold foil “merry”, is from the set Merry Christmas to All. We’ve been needing those larger die0cut words for a while now. Check it out on page 5 of the Holiday Catalog.

We’ve got a fabulous new limited-time bundle, Blended Seasons, that will make creating cards quick and easy, but oh so beautiful. This exclusive 12-piece red rubber stamp set and coordinating10-piece die set will take you through every season of the year. Blended Seasons can be used to create Christmas, Fall, Thank You, Congrats, and Thinking of You cards. This bundle is available only while supplies last during the month of August 2018.
Lucky, lucky us, Stampin’ UP! has also released a new 10-piece package of Watercolor Pencils in some yummy new fresh colors. And aren’t they beautiful. If you haven’t tried Watercolor Pencils, Blended Seasons is the perfect set to get you started. They are so forgiving and can be blended with either a Blender Pen, Aqua Painter or Clear Wink of Stella Pen.
For my first Blended Seasons project, and certainly not the last, I created a lovely Christmas card gift set. This would be a great hostess, teacher, or special friend gift. The set includes four cards and envelopes and they are all packaged in one of our Acetate Card Boxes.
One of the best parts of this creation is that I’m giving you a sneak peek of some new Holiday Catalog products. I was lucky enough to get these during my Alaska Incentive Trip.
So, this month scoop up the Blended Seasons bundle, earn your $5 coupon for every $50 in your order and then in September you get to redeem the coupons for the gorgeous All Is Bright DSP and the Swirls and Curls Embossing Folder.
I didn’t have my new watercolor pencils when I designed this gift set, so I used our Stampin’ Write Markers in Cherry Cobbler, Call Me Clover and Shaded Spruce. See how versatile the coloring is with Blended Seasons. You can use your coloring medium of choice, whether that’s Watercolor Pencils, Stampin’ Write Markers or Stampin’ Blends.
The belly band features another new Holiday Catalog product, the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I’m so happy I won that one on the Alaska Incentive Trip. It’s my favorite and I’m sure you’ll want to add it to your stash.
