Welcome back to Festive Friday! This week’s card features the Everyday Arches Dies, Greetings of the Season Stamp Set, and the Nests of Winter DSP for a soft, wintery holiday look. ❄️ The background, embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and brushed with White Craft Ink, adds the perfect snowy effect. Plus, I’ve added a touch of shimmer using the FREE Sale-A-Bration Night of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon! ✨
Let’s take a closer look at this week’s festive design! 🎄
The Card Design
This design showcases elegant winter birds, layered with the Everyday Arches Dies to frame the delicate branches from the Nests of Winter DSP. The cool tones and subtle texture create a calm and cozy holiday feel—perfect for sending warm winter wishes!
Card Highlights:
Dies & Stamps: Everyday Arches Dies & Greetings of the Season Stamp Set
Designer Series Paper: Nests of Winter DSP
Embossing: Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (with White Craft Ink for added depth)
Color Palette: Gray Granite, Night of Navy, Basic White
Embellishments: Neutrals Adhesive-backed Sequins & FREE Night of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon
Create the Card Base: Cut Gray Granite cardstock to 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, score at 4-1/4”, and fold.
Emboss the Background: Run a 4″ X 5-1/4″ Gray Granite panel through the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, then lightly brush with White Craft Ink for contrast.
Die-Cut the Arch Frame: Use the Everyday Arches Dies (3rd and 4th largest) to cut Night of Navy and DSP layers, adhere together and attach to the embosssed layer.
Tie it all together: Tie a Night of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon around the embossed layer and make a bow on the right side. Adhere this layer to the card base.
Stamp the Sentiment: Stamp “Merry” and “Christmas” in Night of Navy ink on the left side of the largest Basic White Stylish Shapes banner. Use Mini Dimensionals to attach to the card front, then trim the right edge off of the label.
Embellish: Attach 3 white Neutrals Adhesive-backed Sequins for a snowy finish!
Why I Love This Design
This card has sophisticated elegance with minimal effort! The Everyday Arches Dies create a beautiful frame, and the embossed snowflake background gives a subtle, frosty effect. Plus, the Nests of Winter DSP provides a soft and serene winter scene, making this card perfect for the holidays!

Are you ready for a fun and vibrant colour challenge? This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments , we’re playing with a fresh and cheerful trio: Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist, and Summer Splash! These colours bring a bright, tropical feel to any project, and I had so much fun creating this birthday card featuring the With You In Mind stamp set from Stampin’ Up!
Here’s the card I created:
A Closer Look at My Card Design
For this card, I combined the bold colours of the challenge, layering techniques, and heat embossing to make the elements pop. Here’s how I brought this colour combo to life:
Finishing Touches: A few sparkly embellishments (Iridescent Faceted Gems) add just the right amount of shine!
Background Stamping: I started with a Lemon Lime Twist cardstock base and added subtle tone-on-tone cupcake images using the With You In Mind stamp set.
Layered Panels: To add dimension, I layered Summer Splash and 2024-2026 In Colour 6X6 Designer Series Paper (with a Summer Splash geometric pattern) for extra texture.
Cupcake Details: The cupcakes were stamped in Calypso Coral and then I heat embossed the cupcake bottoms with Silver Embossing Powder to give them a shiny, metallic touch.
Sentiment: The ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment was stamped in Versamark on Summer Splash cardstock, then heat embossed with white embossing powder. Finally I fussy cut it, giving it a crisp and playful look.
Now it’s your turn! Head over to Hand Stamped Sentiments and join this week’s colour challenge. While you’re there, be sure to check out all the amazing cards created by other talented crafters! I can’t wait to see what you create using Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist, and Summer Splash!

Welcome to the Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop for February 2025! Each month, our team of talented creators from across Canada shares projects designed to inspire you. This month, we’re featuring projects made with products from the January – April 2025 Mini Catalogue, and I can’t wait to show you my creation!
My Card: A Soft & Elegant Blend with Cupcake Accents
For this month’s project, I played with Coastal Cabana, Night of Navy, and Petunia Pop inks to create a smooth blended colour strip using blending brushes. This was done on a 4” x 5-1/4” Basic White cardstock panel, adding a soft and elegant ombré effect.
I kept the sentiment bold by heat embossing it in white on Black cardstock using Versamark and white embossing powder. Then, I carefully fussy cut around it to give it a custom look.
The adorable cupcakes were stamped in Fresh Freesia, but I wanted to add some extra detail, so I re-inked the bottom with Versamark and gold heat-embossed the cupcake liners for a touch of shimmer. These were also fussy cut to add dimension.
To bring the card together, I arranged the cupcakes and sentiment onto my blended background and adhered them using Mini Dimensionals for a layered effect. The entire panel was then glued to a Coastal Cabana card base for a fresh, cohesive look. For a finishing touch, I embellished with Two-Tone Sparkle Gems to add just the right amount of sparkle!
Blending for a Smooth Finish: Use light, circular motions with your blending brushes and build up color gradually for a seamless gradient effect.
Using a Glass Mat & Painter’s Tape for Clean Edges: Secure your cardstock to a glass mat with painter’s tape, using the grid lines to ensure straight and even edges while blending.
Heat Embossing for Extra Detail: To add extra dimension, try heat embossing elements like sentiments or small details on stamped images for a polished look.
Fussy Cutting Like a Pro: Move the paper rather than the scissors for smoother cuts and avoid jagged edges.

Hello, crafty friends! I’m so excited to share my latest project for the Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge #455. Sketch challenges are such a fun way to get creative and think outside the box, and this one is no exception. If you love playing with fun layouts, you’ll adore this challenge!
Here is the sketch that inspired my card:
And here’s my interpretation of the sketch:
For this card, I used the delightful Fruit Salad 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paperfrom the Sale-A-Bration (SAB) catalog. The vibrant fruit designs are so cheerful and perfect for this playful layout. I paired the DSP with the gorgeous Pastel Ombre Glimmer 12″ x 12″ Specialty Paper to add a touch of sparkle. To finish the card, I added some Iridescent Faceted Gems for that extra bit of shine.
Card Details:
Main Panel: The circles on the sketch were the perfect opportunity to showcase the adorable fruit designs from the Fruit Salad DSP. I layered the fussy cut fruit on die-cut circles from the glimmer paper for a pop of colour and texture.
Sentiment: The “Thank You” sentiment is stamped and heat-embossed on Garden Green cardstock that coordinates with the colours of the DSP.
Background: I chose a soft, patterned background from the same DSP collection to keep the focus on the fruit clusters while adding a subtle layer of interest.
Embellishments: A few Iridescent Faceted Gems complete the look, adding just the right amount of sparkle.
Join the Challenge!
This sketch challenge is open to everyone! Head over to the Hand Stamped Sentiments blog to see all the fabulous inspiration from the design team and fellow participants. I can’t wait to see what you create!

I’m Leah from Stampin’ With Leah, and today I’m thrilled to share not one, but four cards I created using the FREE Bloom Impressions 12×12 Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-a-Bration promotion.

The Sketch
This month’s sketch challenge is all about bold panels and balanced layers. It provided the perfect framework to let the vibrant patterns of the Bloom Impressions DSP shine. Whether you love soft pastels or bold, bright tones, this paper pack has something for everyone. Let’s take a closer look at my interpretations of the sketch.
The Cards: Delightful Wishes Birthday Cards
For this set, I focused on creating four distinct yet cohesive cards by pairing different patterns from the Bloom Impressions DSP with complementary cardstock and embellishments. Here’s how I brought the sketch to life:
Materials:
Cardstock: Basic White, coordinating colors (e.g.,Calypso Coral, Basic Beige, Pretty Peacock, Pool Party, Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia, Melon Mambo and Bubble Bath)
DSP: Bloom Impressions 12×12 DSP (FREE with Sale-a-Bration!)
Stamps and Dies: Sentiment and floral images from the Delightful Wishes Bundle
Adhesive: Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue
Instructions:
Background Layers: Emboss coordinating cardstock (4″ X 5-1/4″) using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder for texture. Trim the Bloom Impressions DSP into 1-1/2″ X 3″ panels and adhere them to the embossed layer.
Sentiment: Stamp the “Wishing” sentiment in coordinating ink on a 2″ X 5″ piece of Basic White CS and the “You a Happy Birthday” can be heat embossed and die-cut on a coordinating CS. Layer the sentiment across the DSP panels, add the smaller sentiment using Dimensionals for added depth.
Floral Details: Stamp and die-cut floral images from the Delightful Wishes Bundle in complementary colors to coordinate with the patterned paper. Stamp the stem in a dark colour and emboss the leaves with metallics. Arrange the flowers around the stem and sentiment, attached with Dimensionals.
Finishing Touches: Mount the card fronts onto 4-1/4″ X 11″, scored at 5-1/2″ card bases and add embellishments as desired for balance and interest.
Tips for Success
Use Coordinating Colors: Let the DSP inspire your color palette for a cohesive look.
Layer with Dimension: Using Dimensionals adds depth and makes your elements pop.
Add Texture: Embossed backgrounds add subtle interest without overwhelming the design.
