Candle Party Sneak Peek Welcome to my first Chanukah card of the year, that I will also be teaching at my Oasis Rancho Bernardo class on 10/30/26, as well as at my Chanukah class at my house on 11/8. This Chanukah card actually has 2 sneak peeks from the November 2026 Stampin' Up! Online Exclusives, the Candle Party bundle AND the Gold Striped Vellum that you see behind the menorah (or Chanukiah when it has 9 total candles and is used at Chanukah time). When you see the adorable Candle Party bundle below, I am sure you will first think about all the birthday cards you can make with it, but I thought about how fun it would be to make it into a menorah.  Let's make this card. Gather your supplies: Night of Navy cardstock--card base is 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at 4 1/4". Second piece cut 1/2" by 3 1/2" Gold Striped Vellum Specialty DSP--4" by 5 1/4" Basic White cardstock--front piece 3 1/2" by 4 3/4". Inside piece 3 3/4...

Shining Stars October Product of the Month The Shining Stars set of dies is AMAZING and you can buy it for only $5 and only while it lasts as a Product of the Month in October. To buy this product you will need to spend $75 on anything else you want. The sentiment and the inside stamping on this card come from a great bundle called Candle Party that will be available in November as an Online Exclusive. It is a great bundle for making birthday cards. I plan to use the candles to make a menorah for Chanukah too!  If you want to see how to make this card, watch my Facebook Live (uploaded to YouTube) below if reading this seems difficult. Then come back every Monday at 1 pm PST and watch me make a new card on Facebook. Let's make this card. Gather your supplies: Very Vanilla cardstock--card base is 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at 4 1/4".

Floating Christmas Ornament Card This card uses a variety of products from the 2026 Sept-Dec Catalog to create an ornament that appears to float above the card. It floats as it is strips of DSP on a Window Sheet that is elevated off the card using Dimensionals. I love this illusion and have made many cards like this in the past and they always make me smile. I used Designer Series Paper from the Timeless Christmas Suite as well as 2 different stamp sets from this catalog.  And do you see that subtle texture behind the ornament? That is the Softly Woven Embossing Folder that I just love.  Let's make this card. Gather your supplies: Thick Basic White cardstock--card base is 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at 4 1/4" Timeless Christmas DSP--various pieces 1/2" by 4", with one for the inside Timeless Metallic Specialty Paper--2 pieces of red and one of green cut 1/2" by 4". Cut a 3/4" by 1/2" piece of green for the top of the ornamen...
