Winter Adventures

Alpine Winter Suite + Dreamy Snowflake Hybrid Embossing Folder

Today I am participating in the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. This month we are creating using a sketch challenge. To create my card I have chosen the Alpine Winter Suite and Dreamy Snowflakes Hybrid Embossing Folder. Both will go live on September 1st. Below, I have added a picture of the collection and the embossing folder, as well as the item numbers.

August 2026 Challenge

I love the subtle snowflakes from the embossing folder. They create the perfect back drop for this card! All the elements go together so perfectly!

In order to use all the elements that I wanted to, I enlarged my card to 5" x 7". Snowflakes, snowshoes, an alpine cabin..... So much fun to create with this collection!

The specialty paper in this suite is flocked! The gems are snowflakes. The detail on the snowshoes is so good! I love them.

Elegant Leaves in Pecan Pie

Elegant Leaves Bundle + Banner Saying Bundle + Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder

Today's Monochromatic Insta Hop color is Pecan Pie. To create this card I've used the new Elegant Leaves Bundle, I stamped the leaves in a well inked pad of Pecan Pie, so that it was nice and saturated. Next I stamped the highlights using Versamark and heat set copper embossing powder on it. The final appearance is perfect, exactly what I wanted.

The Elegant Leaves Bundle will go live on September 1st. I have listed the item # below the instructions in this blog.

Nature's Symphony in Pretty Peacock

Nature's Symphony Bundle + Fern & Flora Bundle

One of the most beautiful colors that I am drawn to create with over and over is Stampin' Up! ® Pretty Peacock. I love the cardstock, the ink and how well it pairs with so many other colors. So I was thrilled that this week's Monochromatic Insta Hop color is Pretty Peacock!

I have softly blended ink onto Luxe White Specialty paper.... the leaves and sentiment are from the Nature's Symphony Bundle..... and those sweet little moths are from the Fern & Flora Bundle.

Nature's Symphony Bundle + Fern & Flora Bundle

The main color is Pretty Peacock, but for the moths I used Stampin' Blends I used the Light Pretty Peacock and the Dark Lost Lagoon. The texture of the Luxe White 12" x 12" Specialty Paper is beautiful by itself, so I chose not to add any gems or ribbon on my project.

The only thing I wish I had done differently, is that I think the inner leaves would look more natural if I had positioned in the left corner and over the decorative strip. Or if it was in the lower left corner that would have reduced how busy the top of the message liner is.
