A Child is Born



Supplies

  1. Crumb Cake cardstock—card base 5 ½” by 8 ½” scored 4 ¼” and folded on the score line. Second piece  die cut with the 3rd largest Everyday Arches dies.
  2. Season Of Elegance Specialty DSP—3” by 5 ½”
  3. Gold Foil—cut with the 3rd and 2nd largest Everyday Arches dies, using just the frame in between the two dies and saving the middle for something else.
  4. Basic White cardstock—inside piece 3 ½” by 5”, and a scrap ½” by about 3” for the sentiment
  5. Stamp sets—A Child is Born
  6. Dies—Everyday Arches
  7. Ink—Crumb Cake and Versamark for heat embossing
  8. Heat embossing tools and gold embossing powder
  9. White Watercolor Pencil (from the first set of Stampin' Up! Watercolor Pencils)

Fold the card base in half on the score line. Attach the Season of Elegance DSP to the left front leaving about ¼” of the base showing on the left.

Stamp the nativity scene in Crumb Cake on the Crumb Cake Everyday Arches die  cut. Color the baby’s blanket in the White Watercolor Pencil—you can color all the people’s clothes if you’d like.

Stamp the 2 star stamps in Versamark at the top after using your Embossing Buddy, sprinkle with gold embossing powder and heat emboss. Stamp the sentiment the same way on the ½” piece of Basic White using Versamark and gold embossing powder (or just in Crumb Cake). Slant cut the edges of the sentiment.

Attach the gold foil frame to the front of the card, then attach the Crumb Cake stamped piece inside the frame. Attach the sentiment to the front using Dimensionals.

Stamp the inside sentiment and the lamb in Crumb Cake on the Basic White piece and attach to the inside of the card.

  3rd Charming Duck Pond Post This card is a modified gate-fold card as the left front is just 1 1/4". I love how you can use most of the page of the 6" by 6" piece of DSP scenery to make this card. Sometimes I use the back side for the little pieces, but this time I used a separate piece of DSP with just the rushes on it. Enjoy!

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

Gingerbread Man & Woman Aren't these gingerbread man and woman just so cute? They are from the new 2025 Sept-Dec Mini Catalog that goes live to everyone at midnight 9/3/25. I am sure they are going to be a big seller, so get yours quickly before they sell out (just my prediction). The stamp set has lots of different expressions for our little gingerbread person, and the dies have many different objects for them to hold, but the cutest part of the bundle is that the die cuts 2 gingerbread men that you fold in half to make a card that can open.  This set is called Gingerbread Man, but I just had to see if I could make a gingerbread woman as he seemed to need a girlfriend. I don't know if you can tell, but her skirt is made from one of the Coneflower Celebrations dies cut from both Real Red and Garden Green cardstock. I'm sure whomever thought up those dies never thought they'd be used like this.  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Thick Basic White car...
