Sparkling Season

Hi Crafty Friends and Happy Saturday!  I have a quick share for you today, but before we get to my holiday card, I want to announce a New Challenge that will be starting on the 20th of January 2026.  It's The Pick 3 Challenge. Please check it out, be sure to follow, spread the word and get ready to play along!

My card today is another fairly CAS design, using the Sparkling Season Stamp Set from Gina K. Designs.  This set was a Simon Says Stamp Stamptember offer a few years ago and it's a timeless holiday set.


I started with heat embossing the images and sentiment on Stampin' Up Blackberry Bliss card using Ranger Fine Detail gold embossing powder.  I've back the focal panel with gold mirror card and adhered to a Blackberry Bliss card base.


I use this set every year for at least 1 Christmas Card, I love the nostalgic feel of the baubles, the sentiment font and the elegant gold and blackberry together.  

That's all for today, so until next time, Happy Crafting!

Splendid Autumn

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!  I hope your day is terrific and you're finding some time for yourself.  I have a quick share today featuring the new Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up.  Golly, this paper is gorgeous!

I've created a fun fold card style, with a a card base, and a smaller card base op top, all decorated with lovely Autumn colors.


The card base was created using Mossy Meadow cardstock, and I've embossed a panel of Blackberry Bliss card.  The sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up set - Climbing Roses.





I've added Linen Thread and a Bow for a bit of an earthy accent, along with clear faux gems.  There is plenty of room inside to write a personal message.  

That's all I have for today, I wish you a great rest of the week and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Donna

Inspiration Station Challenge #65

Happy Monday and Happy Labor Day to all of my friends here in the States.  Today begins a new challenge month at The Inspiration Station Challenge.  The Autumn season will soon be upon us and the inspiration photo this month is a gorgeous, autumn countryside scene:


For my project, I've used the new Stampin' Up Autumn Expressions Stamp and Die Bundle along with the Splendid Autumn 6x6 paper pack.  The designer series papers in this pack are beyond beautiful and I let the paper do most of the work on this card.


I was directly inspired by the autumn colors and trees in the scene. I love visiting areas in parts of the United States where the leaves change colors in the Fall, our Florida Palm trees stay green year round!

For my card base, I've used SU Wild Wheat cardstock, the mat behind the designer series paper strips and sentiment is Blackberry Bliss and the die cut frame and chain are cut from Cajun Craze card stock. 


For added interest, I've die cut leaves from SU Mossy Meadow cardstock and added some twine strips behind the sentiment, which has been popped on dimensionals.  Lastly, I've added amber gems for a bit of shine.  I've also decorated the envelope flap using Cajun Craze ink and pretty wheat stalks from the stamp set.

We certainly hope you'll join us this month at The Inspiration Station Challenge and share your inspired projects.  We would love to see what you create.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Donna
