Last Card of the Year: Easy & Cheerful Birthday Card with Round We Go Stamps & Dies!

 

I couldn’t resist sneaking in one more video this year! I’m sharing an easy and cheerful birthday card made with the ‘Round We Go’ stamps and dies. I kept it simple with a fun color palette of navy, Petunia Pop, and Granny Apple Green. To add texture, I used the Dotted Circles Embossing Folder, which perfectly complements the round elements.


To finish it off, I added a few iridescent rhinestones I snagged from the Last Chance List (so grab them while you can!). Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cardmaker, this design is fun and easy to recreate. Watch for tips, tricks, and inspiration for your next card project!

Materials Used:

  • Round We Go Stamps & Dies
  • Dotted Circles Embossing Folder
  • Navy, Petunia Pop & Granny Apple Green Cardstock
  • Iridescent Rhinestones (Last Chance List)

Creative Adventure with the Fragrant Forest Stamp Set

 HI Stampers - 

This week, I took on a fun creative challenge—designing a card in real time with the stunning Fragrant Forest stamp set. This beautiful, single-stamp design features a forest of trees, perfect for creating bold and timeless cards.


 For this project, I used Old Olive cardstock, Old Olive and Memento black ink, but the real fun was letting the design unfold as I went. From selecting sizes and colors to navigating unexpected "oops" moments, it was all part of the journey. 

Sometimes the best cards come from experimenting, and I wanted to bring you along to see my process—the good, the bad, and the adjustments in between. 

Watch the Tutorial: Check out the full tutorial on my YouTube channel where you can craft alongside me and see how this card came to life.

Reindeer Fun: 2 Festive Card Ideas Including a Gift Card Holder!

 

Hello, crafty friends! 🎄✨

I’m so excited to share this week’s projects featuring the Reindeer Fun Stamps & Dies. This versatile set is perfect for holiday crafting, and today I’m showing you how to create two festive cards—including a clever gift card holder that’s sure to impress!


Project 1: Gift Card Holder

Need a creative way to present a gift card? This project has you covered! Using the same Reindeer Fun Stamps & Dies, I created a festive card that doubles as a gift card holder. It’s the perfect blend of practical and adorable!

Alternative Tip:Use the dies to cut images directly from the DSP for quick and easy embellishments




Project 2: Layered Reindeer Card

For the second card, I showcased many of the 'Reindeer Fun' dies to create an adorable dimensional card. By combining stamping and die-cutting, the reindeer really pops off the card! To add even more charm, I made this card into a gift card holder.


Tips:

  • The dies make it easy to add layers for a 3D look.
  • Don’t forget to mix and match patterns from the DSP to create a cohesive but fun layout!

Why You’ll Love These Projects

These cards are packed with holiday cheer and are surprisingly simple to make. The Reindeer Fun Stamps & Dies are so versatile—you can create everything from intricate layered designs to quick projects by cutting out pre-printed images from the DSP.
