The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.Today features the monthly Share It Sunday projects where the team shares any project that have been working on. I recently received the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder and decided to play with it. I have seen a few White on White cards and really like how they look. I decided to give it a try. I did end up adding the Red designer paper to help pop it a bit, but I think the card turned out very elegant. This is one that I will definitely make more of to send to family & friends for the holidays.

My favorite things I find have to do with gardens (flowers, foliage, and herbs), so it is no surprise that I could not wait to get a chance to dive into the Painted Christmas Suite from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. The suite includes two bundles, the Christmas Season Bundle #156801 and Chris
Do you love using Embossing Folders in your Crafting? For this card I have used both the Stampin' Up! Merry Melody and Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folders that I paired with the Painted Christmas Paper, Christmas To Remember and Seasonal Labels Dies and shared making it in a recent video. I made the Kraft Merry Melody embossed background pop by using a Blending Brush a light hand and Early Espresso ink. I added interest to some of Seasonal Labels Leaves by embossing with the Evergreen Forest 3D. I die cut the Painted Christmas Paper and Sentiment Label also using the Seasonal Labels dies. I added the Gold Holly Leaves and Gilded Gems to finish the card.

I thought I was done with Christmas cards, but no...I needed a few more. So I have one more Merry Monday for you, and I love these cards! But to get there: Who else has a craft desk that looks like this? I don't know how I was even able to work in here! But somehow the chaos was semi-controlled, and I ended up with some beautiful cards. Wanna see? First I wanted to create a "not Christmas" card. A friend of ours does not celebrate the holidays, but I always like to remember her with a card. From our home to yours...of course I needed to emboss little houses on the card front! The Soft Succulent cardstock is subtle, not really Christmas-y, yet adheres to the season (for me!). I used a piece of designer paper from the Fitting Florets pack, and bordered it with some Evening Evergreen cut with the Basic Borders dies. And wrapped it all up with some Evening Evergreen ribbon. Love! But then, I got an idea: Using basically the same layout but entirely different look! I have not shown the Boughs of Holly designer paper anywhere near enough love this season, so I cut a 2" x 5-1/4" piece for the side of the card. But having the pretty paper on a plain background just didn't seem right, so I embossed another piece of Evening Evergreen with the Merry Melody embossing folder. Soft Succulent cut with the Deckled Rectangles dies, stamped in Evening Evergreen and mounted on Basic White cut with the Scalloped Contours dies was perfect! And look at those tiny poinsettia flowers! I used flowers from the Merriest Frames dies, stacked them atop each other with a retired Holiday Rhinestone in the center. The little leaves were hand-snipped. So cute! So that's it! The end. Fini. I'm done! Well... not entirely! Just done with holiday cards. But I'll be back this week with more sneak peeks from the upcoming January - April 2023 Mini catalog as well as some samples with new Sale-a-Bration stamps. So c'mon back for more...

I have been so very excited to share these gorgeous Stampin' Up! Christmas Season stamps in person with my customers in some recent classes and saved a few card sets for a VIDEO. I cased this card from Cheri Stojkovic I stamped the scene using the stamp set onto Kraft 6x6 Paper, any of the amazing stamps in the set will work. I stepped it up by embossing the stamped piece with the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder. The Christmas To Remember Stamp set sentiment is stamped on a Seasonal Label Die cut. I also cut a piece of the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Paper that I cut in half and let peek out the ends. I finished with a scattering off the stunning but sadly retiring Wonderful Gems.

This is one of my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack class cards! Everyone joining me to stamp at my classes this month will be making this. I think it is an elegant traditional holiday card. It is just a gorgeous monochromatic card. I used the 'Decorated with Happiness' Bundle, along with the Sweetest Christmas DSP! Check out how I embossed the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder onto the Garden Green cardstock! How did I stamp the pines? I inked the pines up with my Garden Green ink pad. Stamp full strength. Lift, slightly move & stamp again. Lift, slightly move & stamp again.This is called shadow stamping & gives more dimension & character to make the pines look more full & natural.
