Throwback Thursday: A Hot Foiled Buffalo Check Christmas Card

Leave a comment

Welcome to another Throwback Thursday at Stampin’ With Leah! This week, I’m mixing some beautiful new Stampin’ Up! products with an old favourite to create a Christmas card full of shine and sparkle!

I love finding new ways to use my retired crafting supplies, and today’s card is a perfect example!

A Little Christmas Magic with Hot Foiling

The star of this card is definitely that gorgeous red buffalo check background! I used the new Buffalo Check Hot Foil Die with red foil to create a shiny, festive pattern on Basic White cardstock.

I layered the foiled panel onto Basic Black cardstock before attaching it to a Basic White card base. That thin black border really makes the red foil pop!

For my Throwback Thursday element, I reached for the retired Christmas Labels Bundle. It’s still one of my favourites! The decorative details around the label are so pretty, and I love how they contrast with the bold background.

I heat embossed the Christmas greeting in white on Basic Black cardstock, creating a crisp, striking focal point.

To finish the card, I added the sweet Adhesive-Backed Christmas Berries. Those little berries and leaves are the perfect festive finishing touch!

Mixing Retired and New Stampin’ Up! Products

One of my favourite things about cardmaking is discovering new ways to use products I already own.

The Christmas Labels Bundle may be retired, but it works beautifully with newer products. And if you don’t have this particular bundle, another decorative label die and Christmas greeting would work just as well!

Cardmaking Tip: When using a bold background like buffalo check, choose a high-contrast sentiment panel. White heat embossing on black cardstock helps your greeting stand out without competing with the background.

Want to Try Hot Foiling?

If you’ve been curious about hot foiling, this card is a wonderful example of the beautiful metallic shine you can add to your handmade cards!

✨ The Stampin’ Up! Hot Foil System is expected to be back in stock the week of November 9!

And there’s an extra reason to be excited! Stampin’ Up! is offering a FREE Metallic Magic class with a qualifying Hot Foil System purchase through January 4, 2027.

It’s a great opportunity to learn a new technique and create beautiful projects with your new supplies.

I’ll be sharing updates when the system becomes available again, so be sure to follow along or join my newsletter!

October Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop – Autumn Colours & a Little Hot Foil Shine!

Leave a comment

Hello, crafty friends!

Welcome to the October Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month, we’re celebrating autumn with a beautiful colour challenge featuring Golden Glow, Crushed Curry, Blackberry Bliss, Pecan Pie and Early Espresso.

I love these rich, warm colours together, and they were perfect for creating a pretty fall card with a little extra sparkle!

For my card, I started with a Blackberry Bliss card base and layered Golden Glow cardstock with Basic White.

I added three strips along the left side to bring in some extra colour and texture. The Crushed Curry strip is heat embossed with white leaves from the Nature’s Symphony set, the Blackberry Bliss strip is embossed with Fern and Flora 3D EF, and the Pecan Pie strip was crumpled and heat embossed with a texture element from Nature’s Symphony in gold to add a lovely bit of shine.

The leafy focal image is where I had the most fun! I hot foiled the Botanical Glow Hot Foil Die then used the challenge colours to create a mix of warm golden leaves ( Golden Glow blends), rich brown tones (Pecan Pie blends) and pops of Blackberry Bliss (blends). I love how the different colours bring the whole card together.

Of course, I couldn’t resist adding a little more sparkle! Some Golden Glow Ink splatter, a few Gold Dot embellishments and a double strand of Linen Thread tied into a bow finished everything off.

The Thinking of You sentiment ( in Early Espresso) keeps this card versatile, too. It’s always nice to have a few cards like this ready to send.

Keep Hopping Across Canada!

Now it’s time to see what the other talented Coast to Coast Creators have made with this gorgeous autumn colour combination!

I always enjoy seeing how differently we all interpret the same challenge. There’s so much inspiration to discover!

Throwback Thursday: A Sweet Baby Card with Brides & Babies

Leave a comment

There’s something extra fun about pulling out a REALLY old stamp set and giving it a fresh new look!

For this week’s Throwback Thursday, I reached way back into my Stampin’ Up! collection for the Brides & Babies stamp set. And when I say throwback, I mean it — this one has been in my collection for a very long time! But seriously, how sweet is that little baby tucked into the moon? Some images are just too adorable to let go.

I paired this old favourite with some newer goodies to give it an updated feel. An Everyday Arch creates the large background layer and gives the card a fun focal point without taking away from that sweet stamped image.

I kept the colour palette soft and dreamy, with Pool Party and Lost Lagoon and just a touch of Golden Glow Shimmer Brush for the stars. The little scattered stars in the background help carry the theme across the card without making it feel too busy.

And then, of course, I needed a little something special! The Gold Striped 3/8″ Mesh Ribbon adds just the right amount of shimmer, while a few Antique Pearls finish everything off beautifully.

I love how mixing older stamps with current products can make something that has been sitting on the shelf for years feel completely new again. It’s also a great reminder that you don’t always need the newest stamp set to create something you love — sometimes an old favourite is exactly what you need!

Do you have a REALLY old Stampin’ Up! stamp set that you still can’t bring yourself to part with? I’d love to know which one!

Coast to Coast Creators: A Little Christmas DSP

Leave a comment

It’s time for another Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop, and this month we’re celebrating the brand new September–December 2026 Mini Catalogue!

There are so many fun new products in this catalogue, but I couldn’t resist creating with the A Little Christmas 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. Those sweet little Christmas mice are just too cute!

For my card, I really let the DSP do the work. I fussy cut the adorable mice, cookie jar, bow and gingerbread cookies directly from the patterned paper a ready made little Christmas scene. The large vellum circle behind the images gives everything a place to land while still allowing all those fun little details to shine.

I paired the patterned paper with Lost Lagoon and Cherry Cobbler, which gives the card a slightly softer take on traditional Christmas colours. The ‘Softly Woven 3D’ embossed Lost Lagoon background adds lots of texture without competing with the busy little scene in the centre.

A few gold embellishments and a little bow of twine add just enough extra detail. I finished the front with the “wishing you a festive season” sentiment, heat embossed in white on Cherry Cobbler cardstock.

And because I had those adorable little gingerbread cookies sitting on my desk after all that fussy cutting, I couldn’t resist adding a couple to the inside too!

A Little Christmas DSP

This is exactly the kind of Designer Series Paper I love — not only are the patterns beautiful for backgrounds and layers, but there are also so many images that can become the focal point of a card.

If you enjoy fussy cutting, papers like this give you so many possibilities without needing a coordinating stamp set or dies. Just grab your Paper Snips and start cutting!

Be sure to continue along the Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop to see what everyone else has created with products from the new September–December Mini Catalogue. I always love seeing how differently we use the same catalogue for inspiration!

Throwback Thursday: Mixing Old & New

Leave a comment

I love a good Throwback Thursday project — especially when I can bring a few retired favourites back out and pair them with something current!

This card was created with a few special colleagues in mind as we get ready to head back to school. I am so grateful to have such an amazing team to work with every day, and I thought a sweet little note card would be a fun way to let them know how much I appreciate them.

For this card, I pulled out the retired Bird’s Eye View stamp set and stamped one of the birds perched on a stack of books. I added a little pair of glasses for some extra personality, then coloured the image in Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly, Pool Party and Lost Lagoon.

Those colours coordinate beautifully with the striped and polka dot circles I die cut from the current Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper using the Stylish Shapes dies.

I also added a strip of cardstock (2-1/2″ x 5-1/2″) embossed with the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder for a little texture. The heat embossed sentiment is from the retired Wild Bunch stamp set, and I finished things off with a few retired Pearlized Faceted Circles.

I really like how easily these older products work with something new. You don’t need an entire collection of brand-new supplies to create something fresh — sometimes it’s just a matter of looking at what you already have in a different way.

And that might be my favourite part of Throwback Thursday!

Old favourites + new products = lots of creative possibilities.

And this week, a little creativity is also a reminder of how thankful I am for the wonderful people I get to work alongside every day. Here’s to a great school year ahead!

Throwback Thursday: A Christmas Card with Half Full

Leave a comment

I’m using some of my free time over summer break to get a little ahead for Christmas Craft Fairs this fall, so apparently it’s time to start making Christmas cards! 🎄

For this Throwback Thursday, I pulled out an old favourite: the Half Full stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I love revisiting older stamp sets and giving them a fresh look with newer colours and products.

For this card, I went with a mostly white colour palette for a soft, snowy Christmas feel. The embossed background adds lots of texture while keeping the overall design clean and elegant.

The wine glasses are coloured with Golden Glow, while the holly leaves feature Peaceful Pine and a pop of Real Red for the berries.

And then there are those gorgeous Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes! These are a pre-order product that I was able to play with early as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. They’ll be available to customers in September, so I thought this card would make a fun little sneak peek.

I love how those tiny snowflakes add just a touch of sparkle without taking away from the focal point.

Of course, a card made with the Half Full stamp set needs a little humour!

There’s another fun sentiment waiting inside this card — because sometimes the inside deserves just as much attention as the front. 😉

I’m hoping to build up a good collection of cards for my Christmas Craft Fairs over the next few months. Getting started during summer break means I can enjoy the process instead of scrambling to make everything at the last minute!

And while I’m definitely not ready to give up summer yet… I have to admit, Christmas crafting is pretty fun. 🎄

Coast to Coast Creators: A Festive Fun-Fold Christmas Card

Leave a comment

It’s time for another Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop, and this month we’re sharing one of our favourite fun-fold card designs!

I’m excited to share this festive Christmas card with you. I love fun folds because they add a little element of surprise to a handmade card. This one looks interesting when it’s closed, but opens up to reveal even more layers and space for a message.

For this card, I used the gorgeous Stitched Season Designer Series Paper. The traditional Real Red and Secret Sea patterns are perfect for Christmas cards, and I love how the different patterns work together with this particular fold.

The focal point is the Hope, Love & Joy Bundle, with the JOY sentiment layered onto the front of the card.

To add a little extra sparkle and texture, I also used:

  • Shimmering Stripes 12″ x 12″ Specialty Paper
  • Real Red Stitched Ribbon
  • A heat-embossed snowflake
  • A small rhinestone placed in the centre of the snowflake

That little rhinestone is such a simple detail, but it adds just the right amount of Christmas sparkle!

How This Fun Fold Comes Together

The card base starts with a piece of cardstock measuring 5-1/2″ x 12″.

On the 12″ side, score at 4″ and 8″. Then, on the 5-1/2″ side, make a mark at 2″ and cut from that mark to the far score line to create the angled sections.

The Designer Series Paper is cut to coordinate with each angled section:

  • Front angled layer: 3-3/4″ x 3-1/2″, on the 3-3/4″ side mark at 1-3/4″ then cut from that mark to the far point at an angle.*
  • Middle angled layer: 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″, on the 3-3/4″ side mark at 3-1/2″then cut from that mark to the far point at an angle.*
  • Inside angled layer: 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″, on the 3-3/4″ side mark at 3-1/2″then cut from that mark to the far point at an angle.*

*make sure you are cutting in the right direction to adhere to the card base.

The Basic White inside layer measures 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″, giving you plenty of room to add a greeting and a personal message. I added a 3-3/4″ X 1-7/8″ piece of DSP and a 3-3/4″ X 5/8″ piece of Shimmering Stripes DSP to the top of this piece.

The great thing about this fold is that once the card base and DSP pieces are cut, it comes together quite quickly. The angled pieces do all the work of creating that fun, dimensional look!

✨ Now it’s time to see what the other Coast to Coast Creators have created for this month’s fun-fold theme. We have talented Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from across Canada sharing their projects, so be sure to hop along and check them all out.

Thanks so much for stopping by and spending a little time crafting with me!

Coast to Coast Creators – April 2026 | Retiring In Colors

Leave a comment

This month for our Coast to Coast Creators hop, we’re celebrating the beautiful retiring 2024–2026 In Colors—and I couldn’t resist using all five on one cheerful card!

For my project, I started with a Summer Splash card base, which really makes everything pop. I paired it with the gorgeous Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder (sadly on the Last Chance list!) to create that soft, flowing texture in the background.

The star of the show is the adorable upcoming stamp set Caring Animals (coming May 2026!). I stamped the sweet birds and sentiment image and coloured them using the retiring In Color Stampin’ Blends:

  • Petunia Pop
  • Peach Pie
  • Summer Splash
  • Pretty in Pink
  • Shy Shamrock

I love how each little bird brings a pop of colour while still keeping the design clean and simple.

To finish it off, I added a torn strip of Summer Splash cardstock behind the sentiment for a bit of texture and dimension, along with a few soft Pretty In Pink Flat Pearls.

This card is a perfect reminder to grab your favourite In Color products before they’re gone!

✨ Be sure to hop along and see how the rest of the team is using these gorgeous colours!

Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop – February Colour Challenge!

Leave a comment

Welcome back to another Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! Each month, our creative team from across Canada shares projects based on a fun challenge—this time we’re creating using a Valentine’s inspired colour combo. I used the Hope Love and Joy bundle to create this fun card that can be sent any time of year – but especially this February!

For the background, I used the 2025-2027 In Color 6×6 DSP on a Flirty Flamingo cardbase. I embossed a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock with the Hearts of Love 3D embossing folder. and layered it onto a Strawberry Slush mat. The sentiment was stamped in Real Red Ink on a Textured Notes die ( these are on the Last Chance list!). All the hearts were die cut with the Hope Love Joy dies in Poppy Parade, Strawberry Slush, and Bubble Bath.

Finally I embellished the card with Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems (also on thelast chance list).
