Thank you for joining me today to enjoy my Christmas Cardinal card idea featuring the Toile Tidings suite from Stampin’ Up! I’ve teamed up with 3 other members of my Luv 2 Stamp Group to bring you a Blog Hop featuring Holiday Catalog ideas today! Scroll down to link to my friends Melanie, Cindee and Kurstan!
As I was stamping the Cardinal from the Toile Christmas stamp set, I decided to use my Blender Pen and Wink of Stella to blend the Real Red ink a bit, and then I wanted the face a bit darker, so I used my Dark Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends marker and colored over the red face to darken it. I also used my Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends marker to color the beak.
After coloring the Cardinal I die cut him out with the matching Christmas Cardinal dies. This Toile Christmas bundle is priced at 10% off, and is found on page 7 of the 2019 Holiday catalog or #152367 online.
Stamping Tips!
Above & Below: Tips to help you make this Christmas Cardinal handstamped Christmas card, featuring the stamped and die cut wreath from the Tidings All Around bundle #152371, vellum and Toile Tidings designer paper.
My base card is a top fold Real Red cardstock base, with a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Toile Tidings designer paper on top. I used a 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ piece of vellum over the Toile Tiding paper so that the die cut wreath and cardinal would stand out a little more. The final touch was to add a die cut branch in Garden Green from the Christmas Cardinal dies. It’s actually 2 small branches giving the appearance of a larger branch.
All of these supplies are available HERE in my online store, and check out all of the Toile Tidings suite products here.

Stampin’ UP! mini pizza boxes are so cute and great for gift giving!! I decorated this one with the Bird Ballad designer series paper and the Free as a Bird bundle!!
Embossing a 2″ or 2-1/4″ Whisper White circle with the Scripty embossing folder adds a perfect little touch of texture along with the gorgeous 3/8″ Scalloped Lace Trim!
Find ALL of these products in my online Stampin’ Up! store here and in the Bird Ballad Suite HERE.
I used my Paper Snips to fussy cut the 2 birds out of the Bird Ballad designer paper, and I also cut out the little cluster of flowers from the designer paper as well. I covered the box with the beautiful floral background paper in the Bird Ballad DSP pack.

Just Added: Clearance Rack Update!!! CLICK TO SHOP savings up to 60% off!!!
The Seasonal Wreath set from Stampin’ UP! is beautiful and I thought I’d try it out with the new Golden Glitz Delicata ink pad!! It’s so pretty! I simply stamped the wreath in the Gold Glitz ink onto So Saffron cardstock and wow!! perfect for my Fall Thank You customer cards! Find the Seasonal Wreath set at the back of the 2019 Holiday Catalog on page 59, or HERE online.
I stamped the wreath in Golden Glitz Delicata ink onto a die cut So Saffron piece of cardstock (die cut with the Stitched Rectangle dies), layered that onto a piece of Come to Gather Designer paper, and each base card is a Thick Very Vanilla card base.
I love ALL 3 of the new Delicata Metallic ink pads!!!
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts.. these great new ink pads are currently on backorder status, but I always recommend getting them onto your order so that your order will be fulfilled when they arrive back in the Stampin’ UP! warehouse. Find them on page 16 of your Holiday catalog or here online:
- Celestial Copper Delicata Metallic ink pad #150707
- Golden Glitz Delicata Metallic ink pad #150711
- Silvery Shimmer Delicata Metallic ink pad #150709
Above: for most of the cards I created with the Seasonal Wreath stamp and the Golden Glitz ink pad, I kept the wreath simple and added die cut sprigs from the Christmas Layers dies. I added a cute stamped/die cut bow from the Bells are Ringing bundle, and a sentiment stamped onto die cut tags from the Trio of Tags dies!!
Below: I was looking at this pretty So Saffron / Very Vanilla combo and thought… hmmm this might make a pretty wedding card. So, I created this card and die cut the wreath with the coordinating “All-Around Wreaths Dies” and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals, added the Gold 3/8″ Metallic Edge ribbon, and a wedding greeting! So pretty! Gold Metallic Pearls complete this card. The greeting is from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set.
And lastly, I decided to color in some of the wreath with my Stampin’ Blends markers just to add a touch of color with the Gold Glitz!

Happy Fall everyone!! Isn’t is always crazy how you can tell it’s transitioning into fall when it’s totally dark when you wake up in the morning!? The feeling of the fall season is definitely in the air and I thought I’d try a Daisy Punch Card celebrating that fall feeling! I sent these customer Thank You Cards out a couple weeks ago.. hope my Stampin’ UP! customers enjoyed them!!
I started by stamping lots AND LOTS of medium daisy images from the Daisy Lane bundle, onto So Saffron, Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie cardstock, then stamped the centers in Early Espresso ink (from the Daisy Delight set), then punching them all out with the Medium Daisy punch. I layered 2 punched images together (offset) and they really reminded me of my mom’s garden full of fall colored chrysanthemums each year!
I used these Fall Stampin’ Up! colors: Crushed Curry, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, Copper and Very Vanilla on my Fall Note Card.
I stamped 2 large fall leaf images from the Gather Together set, in Copper Delicata Metallic ink, onto the Very Vanilla note cards, (for the background) and then die cut lots of beautiful leaves from the coordinating Gathered Leaves dies found in the Gather Together bundle, using the Copper Foil paper. I layered 2 of the die cut copper foil leaves onto each card.
SAVE 10%!! Always enjoy a 10% savings when you buy the bundle!!! All of these Stampin’ Up! papercrafting products are available in my online store here, or just click any of the product photos at the bottom of this post to shop anytime! Shop ALL discounted bundles HERE.
I love ALL 3 of the new Delicata Metallic ink pads!!!
Find them on page 16 of your Holiday catalog or here online:
- Celestial Copper Delicata Metallic ink pad #150707
- Golden Glitz Delicata Metallic ink pad #150711
- Silvery Shimmer Delicata Metallic ink pad #150709
The new Delicata Metallic ink pads are AMAZING and perfect for the fall and holiday season!! They are SO popular that they’ve hit the backorder list.. but my recommendation is ALWAYS to go ahead and get them on your order so that when they come back in stock, your order is fulfilled, rather than waiting to potentially see them back on the backorder list again.
The Season of Thanks stamp image is stamped with Cajun Craze ink and is found in the Gather Together stamp set.

Have you ever had a card in your head and you just had to sit down and create it? That’s what happened with this Noble Peacock card! I had already created the watercolored peacock with Pigment Sprinkles, and I just new I wanted to combine it with this gorgeous Noble Peacock foil oval die cut, LOTS of rhinestones, and the Bird Ballad laser-cut card!!
The beautiful oval is die cut using the Woven Heirloom Frames embossing folder and die bundle #152325 and I used Noble Peacock Specialty Designer paper foil!
The peacock is stamped with StazOn black ink on Fluid Watercolor paper, then sprinkled with Pigment Sprinkles and spritzed with water. I die cut it with the matching die cut set and it’s gorgeous! Instructions in the video below!
View the Videos!
Embellish the peacock with Noble Peacock rhinestones… LOTS of them.. it’s such a gorgeous way to bring together all the colors!
I loved every detail about this card, including the laser cut Bird Ballad card that I colored with my sponge brayer!

Thank you for your super kind comments and enthusiastic response to this beautiful Gold Pizza Box with the 3-D pumpkin that I created with Cindee!! We both loved how this project came out and I’m glad you did too! Use it for Thanksgiving or anytime in the fall – hostess gift, table favor, table decor, neighbor gift..
Fall Project Video
See this project and other fall ideas in my VIDEO HERE!
We created a paper belly band to slip around the pizza box so that the recipient can slide it off, and retrieve the goodie in side. The Stampin’ UP! products used are all listed at the bottom of this blog post and can be found online in the Come to Gather Suite as well as the Harvest Hellos Bundle. Find the Gold Pizza Boxes online here. The beautiful greeting is found in the For the Love of Felt set.
The trick to this great 3-D pumpkin is to stamp and punch 8 pumpkin images then fold them in 1/2 and adhere them back to back to back… (see this video). We used 8 folded pumpkins added to one flat pumpkin as you’ll see in the video. You can make this with however many folded pumpkins you would like to. I used the Simply Scored board to make folding them super easy.
In addition to the beautiful pumpkin, the other start of the show on my gold pizza box is the leaves!!! When Cindee and I made these, she smooshed the leaf die (from the Gather Together Bundle) into the ink pad, then placed it onto the cardstock, then die cut them. We used Cajun Craze ink and Soft Suede cardstock. After die cutting, Cindee crumpled the leaves in her hand to give them lots of 3-D texture.
After the leaves, pumpkin and greeting were attached to the Come to Gather Designer Paper belly band, we flicked Gold speckles on the leaves and pumpkin. We also sponged gold onto the leaves. We used the new Delicata Golden Glitz ink pad and reinker for this (per the video).
What do you think.. do you love it!?
