I’m really really enjoying all the new products in the new Mini Catalog released at the beginning of September. There are so many beautiful new products in there. When I saw the Nests of Winter Suite, I knew I had to own it! These Winterly Tree Tops stamps and dies are gorgeous and work all year around. I love when you can use a stamp set every single season!! The DSP is just stunning and all the pairings make for some gorgeous cards. I have lots more videos I want to create using this suite of products! I hope you enjoy this one as well.
Look how pretty! I LOVE this Designer Series Paper. I paired it with Copper Clay and Basic Grey which is also in the DSP. I stamped in Basic Grey and colored the buds on the inside with a little dab of Copper Clay Stampin’ Blends and then used the Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter to blend it a bit so it ends up looking just like the DSP. The new Natural Tones Linen Thread was perfect on my tag and I also added some Earth Tone Shimmer Gems for a bit of glam! Here are the cutting and scoring measurements for this card. (I’m trying something new here and not typing out the assembly instructions because you’ve already watched the video. Let me know if you’d rather have the written instructions!

This card was my inspiration for the video. My daughter recently had her baby shower and asked me to make her Thank You Cards. I made a few dozen of these using various color card stock bases and all the patterns from the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper. They came out so pretty! I used a die from the Unbounded Beauty Dies for the tag and added some Irredescent Striped Trim and some Glossy Dots.
I’m super proud of this card sample! I had a vision of this little ghost popping out of its pumpkin and I made it happen! The card base is Mossy Meadow and is layered with CajunCraze. I chose those colors because the DSP I chose from the new Iconic Celebrations pack had those two colors in it. I colored in the same colors using Stampin’ Blends. My circles were die cut from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I also stamped Trick or Treat on the front in Smoky Slate so it wasn’t too loud. To create my just refer to the video…I tried to explain it as best I could. I love how this came out!!
Don’t forget to check out all the great new items in the mini catalog. It’s worth a look, plus you can get so many new ideas on card layouts, color combos and more!
Happy Crafting!!
