2025 Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue

The Details of My Embrace the Magic Card

For my card, I knew that I wanted to use the beautiful Lights of Aurora DSP with that tree die! I saw an accordion card that inspired me to trim my DSP into strips instead of keeping it in one piece. Then, I matted it onto Basic Black card stock leaving a gap between the strips and a 1/8” border all around. Tip: adhere the end strips before adhering the centre one.

Once my DSP was down, I started to layer my scene with the Basic White snow caps and the Basic Gray mountains adhered directly to my DSP. I popped up the trees with the mini Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Next, I embossed the sentiments in white. The Blackberry Bliss sentiment was fussy cut down to fit the letters, while the Basic Black sentiment was die cut using the largest flag from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I popped up all the sentiments with the Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

All this was adhered to a Basic White mat and then to a Blackberry Bliss card base that was dry embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder.

As a finishing touch, I placed a scattering of the Frosted Iridescent Dots on my card.

My Delightful Birthday Card - a birthday card with flowers — My Delightful Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Delightful Birthday Card using the Floral Delight Suite Collection from the new Stampin’ Up! 2025 Mini Catalogue. I have 6 family birthdays all within a week coming up at the end of January. So, I am in birthday card mode! One card done…just 5 more to go! Lol!

The Details of My Delightful Birthday Card

My card was for a demonstrator swap using new products from the January – April 2025 Mini Catalogue. So, I decided to use the beautiful Floral Delight Suite Collection. I just love the bright and cheery colours of the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper, ready to be used on cards and scrapbook pages for a touch of spring, summer, or autumn.

For my card, I decided to create a Z-fold card with the DSP on the front panel and an Eyelet Embossed Basic White piece on the inside, but still visible when the card was closed. The embossed piece added interest while not detracting from the focal point.

For the focal point, I decided to layer two circles from the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I thought that the delicate edging of the Daffodil Delight piece coordinated well with the embossed eyelet piece.

The Delightful Wishes Stamp Set is a Two-Step Stampin’ set; it allows you to layer two or more images to create one final image with extra texture and dimension in the colours you want. So, I used Daffodil Delight Ink to stamp the outline image first. I found that doing this first helped to line up the Lemon Lolly stamped main image. Next, I stamped the leaves in Old Olive to add some colour. I love the way this turned out creating a soft look behind the sentiments.

Next, for the sentiment, I decided to layer the “wishing” die cuts to create dimension with the Old Olive stamped sentiment nestled below.

Finally, as a finishing touch, I added a scattering of the sweet Tiny Bee Trinkets around my sentiment and on the Eyelet Embossed piece. A perfect accent to my card!
