I used the new Dragonfly Garden stamp set along with the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper, Stitched Shapes Dies, and Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins to create today’s card. I cut a strip from one side of the DSP layer and flipped it around. It doesn’t make a huge difference, but it just adds a little something-something. The stamp set will be available to order 5 January 2021, either alone, in a bundle with the Dragonflies Punch, and as part of the Dandy Garden Suite Collection. That’s only a week away!
I love hearing from you! Please leave your comments and questions in the comments section at the bottom of this post!

Happy Christmas Day! I hope you have a wonderful day full of cheer and love. Today I’m sharing the fourth and last card we made during my December Stamp Club. We used the In the Pines stamp set, the Snow Globe Scenes Dies, and the new Treasured Tags Pick a Punch to create this sweet pastel card. The Snow Globe Shaker Domes make shaker cards nice and easy. They do add thickness, so this card should be delivered by hand or mailed in a sturdy box.

Cut using the Pine Woods Dies:
- 3 trees from a scrap of Shaded Spruce CS
Created the envelope shaker:

- put some Sequins for Everything in the envelope in front of the DSP layer
- closed the envelope flap, folding down the envelope to the edge of the DSP layer

Assembled the card:

Today I’m sharing another card we made at my Stamp Club’s December virtual gathering. It could be a Christmas holiday card, or just a wintery thinking of you card. We used the In the Pines stamp set, Snow Globe Scenes Dies, Snow Globe Shaker Domes, and Snowflake Sequins to make this lovely shaker dome card.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Whisper White Thick card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Whisper White Thick CS layer cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
Cut using the Snow Globe Scenes Dies:
- globe shaped hole in the white layer
- globe base from a scrap of a Silver Foil Sheet
Stamped with the In the Pines stamp set:
- First I laid the die cut layer on the card base where it would later be adhered, and used a pencil to lightly trace the shape of the die cut hole, so I would know where to stamp on the front of the card base.
- small tree outlines in Pretty Peacock ink
- small tree fills in Shaded Spruce ink
- sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink onto the white layer
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- adhesive backing removed from the front of the shaker dome, then the white layer places over the dome and pressed to adhere the dome onto the back of the layer
- snowflake sequins (about 1/2 teaspoon or so) placed on the card base, making sore to keep them well within the pencil line
- adhesive backing removed from the back of the dome, and glue applied to the rest of the back of the layer
- white layer pressed in place over the sequins
- dome base glued onto the layer, under the dome
