Hello Stamping friends! I have another floral cluster card today to share with you from Stamp Simply. This one features the Winter Poinsettia clear stamps with the coordinating Floral Cluster & Sprigs die.
Reminder that there are 4 cluster sets (one for each season) with ONE matching die for all 4! How awesome!
In case you want to color it:

The Spellbinders December Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month Club is here! and it ROCKS! This month, you get the Perfect Fit Hexagon Strips. It’s a set of 4 glimmer plates and 4 matching dies, along with a roll of Aura foil.
This is my 1st card. I Love it!
The strip on the left is the Aura foil. It is so beautiful. I paired it with blush and teal blue foil.
My 2nd card is all blue foil with a touch of sparkle and black. The dies for the Hexagons are also chevron. See that that tiny black chevron strip? I made it with only the dies from the kit.
Next I have peach, black and gray. Oh how I love black foil! So striking. and I love that I can add chevron borders to a few layers.
The Glimmer Hot Foil membership subscription includes an exclusive Glimmer Hot Foil Plate Set + One Roll of Foil.
I like to glimmer 1st and then make the cards. Here are a few step by step pictures so you can see my process. Line up all the hexagon strips on your hot foil machine and make sure it is turned on.
Then add your foil, color side down. It does not have to be perfect since you will be cutting all the strips apart.
The add cardstock. white or colored card stock and change your foil colors too. Just repeat these steps a few times
Add all you plates ( I have 1 cardstock shim) and run the sandwich through your die cutting machine.
NOTE: You will need the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil machine to use with this subscription, plus a compatible die cutting machine. I used my FSJ Platinum machine. A list of compatible machines is available on the Spellbinders website.
This is what you get. I kept going with more colors after this picture.
Next use the dies to cut them all apart. A few of mine did not foil perfectly and thats OK . I had plenty to work with and I saved all the extra pieces.
Aren’t they so pretty? Guess what ? There are some new clubs! Two new Value club options available now available:
Glimmer ‘n Cut – small die, large die and glimmer kits of the month
Glimmer Groupie – small die, large die, card and glimmer kits of the month

I just cant stop. Gnomes are so fun! They are everywhere!
These are mostly from the Simon Says Stamp December card kit. Sadly, the kit itself is sold out. GOOD NEWS: You can purchase the main items, like the stamps, paper and the gnome dies separate. YAY! (links below)
Santa gnome is from the coloring challenge. That just means I stamped and colored him in November. And now he is on a cute card. BONUS! This stamp set has matching dies! wooohoooo!
Same for the Tree Gnome. He happily is now on a card.
Green Santa gnome is also a coloring challenge image. Now he is a Holiday thank you.
Next up is the Gnome Die. There are 2 sizes. You can see my original “Large Gnome” die post HERE. And here is the one that didn’t make a card from that post. He’s so cute!
NOTE: at the time of this post you can order the Gnome dies on reserve. That means you will get them and it looks like they will ship around Dec 17th
Here you can see the difference in the sizes.
And here is how I put the smaller Lil gnomes on a card.
Pastel colors inspired by HomeGoods.

Hi Stamping Friends! Back today sharing the The Fun Stampers Journey Stamp of the Month. It is adorable penguins! Penguins you can use all year. YAY!!
The December Stamp of the Month is called Penguin Waddle. It really is SO MUCH FUN! Look close at my little penguins. I made them shiny with journey glaze.
The glaze makes these little cute guys look really black too. The sentiment on this window card is from Cottage bouquet . Perfect for a Smile card all year round. I love the whip cream ink for the snow. The stamp is from a previous card kit. (link below)
They even come with accessories. I did not use all of them but there are Hats, glasses and a bow tie/hair bow too!
Did you notice? I’m kinda on a snow mound kick with a lot of my cards . It’s so easy with the Spellbinders Curved A2 borderabilities.

A thank you card is the perfect way to tell your loved ones how much their time, money and efforts meant to you during the holidays. I once again have inked up “O Christmas Tree” from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. Absolutely LOVE this set!
You always have someone to thank. Family members for holiday meals and gifts or friends for tasty treats and maybe wine.
You can even change the “Thank you” to “Merry Christmas” if you are in need of last minute cards.

It’s my favorite crafty time of the month: Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month time! Of course the December kit does not disappoint. I easily whipped up 11 cards to share with you. YES! ELEVEN!!
This december kit is called “Hey Foxy” and has the most adorable fox dies. And its filled with gorgeous papers- I loved the pink ones. As usual the kit is overflowing with crafty goodness!
Check out the new Monthly Card Kit Extras. This is if you want just purchase select items from the kit or need more embellishments. You can shop the store or even add to your cart at the club checkout.
This kit is definitely does NOT have a Christmas theme. I did make a few more Christmas cards! I paired the fox with the Sharyn Sowell die cuts and a glimmer sentiment from last month . The wreath is a die cut from the kit that is paired with a glimmer sentiment in rose gold. and an embossing folder.
Love these kits- they are so much fun!
As I catch up from the Holiday Weekend I realized I forgot to share these cards.
These are from the Daily Marker 30 Day coloring challenge I did in November. I have shared several cards and projects already, here are a few more:
Outline Leaves, in Fall colors from Simon Says Stamp:
A sweet Deer from The Woodland Whimsy Card kit (also Simon Says Stamp)
The hedgie, also from the Woodland Whimsy card kit.
Guess What? My favorite Ellen Hutson Bear accessories can be used all by themselves to make adorable cards. Yup, they sure can!
The Woodland Whimsy card kit has sold out, but you can still get the stamps and dies and papers! YAY!! Pop on over to my Instagram account if you want to see the colors of markers for each card.

Fabulous Holiday gift packaging is a fun part of the holidays. Even with all the crazies of the season, adding handmade touches to gifts for friends and family is a must.
These tags are quick and beautiful! and of course use my favorite tree set “O Christmas Tree” from Stamp Simply.
I can not believe that I do not have a larger tag die in all of my stamping stash. That means it’s time to create a rectangle one! The kraft cardstock layer is cut to 3″ x 5-1/2″ and the colored cardstock is 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″. The tree is stamped, and die cut, in coordinating ink to match the colored cardstock.
Heat embossing with white embossing powder for the sentiment. And to complete the “tag” look, with out a tag die, a 1-1/4″ circle die cut on the top. Just fold it in half and punch with any hole punch- mine is about 1/4″.
The snow is Nuvo drops in white. (a favorite of mine this season) The back of the tags are blank… ready for the the recipients name! oh and that silk ribbon is DIVINE!!!! (cut ribbon to 18″)
Oh yeah…and save some money on shipping this week too:
