January 8, 2026 No Comments

This lovely Thinking of You card made with the 12 Days of Crafting Advent 2025 set by Stampin’ Up. I used some of the designer series paper, glitter dots, label with gold strips and one of the memory maker cards to make this card.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar 2025 Day 2 designer series paper (2025 Advent Stampin’ Up)
12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar 2025 stamp set (2025 Advent Stampin’ Up)
Glitter Dots from 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar Day 3 (2025 Advent Stampin’ Up)
Memory Maker Card from 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar Day 9 (2025 Advent Stampin’ Up)
White and Gold labels from 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar Day 4 (2025 Advent Stampin’ Up)
Old Olive ink (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

From a piece of Old Olive card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut another piece to 3 ¼” x 4 ¼”. From white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one to 4” x 5 ¼” and another to 3 1/8” x 4 1/8”. From the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Day 2 designer series paper, find the Old Olive leaf paper and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and other to 1” x 5 ¼”.

From the pack of Memory Maker card that came in the Advent 2025 Day 9 find the Old Olive piece with flowers at the bottom. And from the white and gold labels from Day 4 find the round white label with the top and bottom gold strips. With your Old Olive ink and the “Thinking of You” greeting stamp from the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar stamp set, stamp in the center of your white and gold label.

Adhere your white piece measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” to the front of your card base, and then adhere the leaf paper measuring 4” x 5 ¼”. Adhere the Old Olive piece measuring 3 ¼” x 4 ¼” piece to the center of the front of your card, then adhere the white piece to that and then the Memory Maker piece to that. Now adhere your stamped white and gold label in the upper left corner. Glue glitter dots randomly around your label.

Take the white piece you cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the inside of your card. Then adhere the 1” x 5 ¼” leaf piece to the left side of your white piece, leaving about 1/8” of white showing on the left side. Stamp a greeting if you choose to, I have a friend who has requested blank insides so I didn’t stamp a greeting in this one.

You have a great thinking of you card for anyone and for any occasion.

Soft Seedlings Thinking of You Card

October 12, 2025 No Comments

I have had this Soft Seedlings stamp set from Stampin’ Up for over a year and haven’t used it until today for anything more than the greetings. It was a fun set as I inked it and then sprayed it with water to give a great effect.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

More Mustard card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Basic Beige card stock
Soft Seedlings stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
More Mustard ink (Stampin’ Up)
Spray bottle with water
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice

From the More Mustard card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and a stripe to 1 ¼” x 5 ½”. From the Basic Beige cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ½” and a strip to 1” x 4 ½”.

Take one of the 4” x 5 ¼” of Basic Beige and with the large leaf stamp and your More Mustard ink and ink the stamp, then stray with some water and stamp in one corner just slightly off of each edge. Do the same in the opposite corner. In the other two corners do the same but just stamp part of the large leaf, not the stem or helicopters. Adhere to the front of your card base.

With the strip of Basic Beige stamp the “Thinking of You” greeting in More Mustard ink and then stamp part of the helicopter stamp on each end. Adhere to the More Mustard strip and the adhere to the front of your card on an angle and trip the ends to match the angle of your card.

Take the other piece of Basic Beige and adhere to the inside of your card. Use the “So grateful” greeting stamp and stamp with More Mustard ink to the upper center of the inside of your card. Then with More Mustard ink stamp a helicopter in the lower left corner.
