I used the Color Velveteen Paper Pack and Stitched Leaves Dies to make the leaves for the front of this easy Autumnal thank you card. I love how the dies for the centers of the leaves make impressions in the velveteen. The sentiment is from the Love of Leaves stamp set, which is available with these dies in a bundle to save 10%.

For today’s cards, I used the Sweetest Time Bundle (Sweetest Time stamp set and Sweetest Border Dies) to make just the sweetest Bermuda Bay & Granny Apple Green Christmas holiday card. These may not seem like very traditional Christmas colors, but I think they work, don’t you? I got my inspiration from a card on page 73 of the August – December 2020 Mini Catalog.

S Sweetest Bermuda Sweetest Bermuda Sweetest Bermuda Sweetest Bermuda
Here’s what I made:
I made two different cards. They have different sentiments, and the holly leaves and pine sprigs are colored differently. Which do you like better?
S
Here’s how I made the Sweetest Bermuda Bay & Granny Apple Green card:
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 5-1/2″ x 3″
Stamped with the Sweetest Time stamp set:
- sentiment in Bermuda Bay ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS (I used a different sentiment on each of the two cards. I used the same color ink, and the same die to cut both.)
- candles in Bermuda Bay ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
- candle flames in So Saffron ink
- NOTE: On one I stamped the flames on the same CS as the candles, then fussy cut around them. On the other one, I fussy cut only the candles and adhered them onto the card, then stamped the flames above them, which I found to be much easier.
Cut using the Sweetest Borders Dies:
- the Whisper White Thick CS layer using the holly border die
- 2 holly leaves and a pine sprig from a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
Cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies:
Cut using Paper Snips:
Colored using Sponge Daubers:
- all die cuts in Bermuda Bay and Granny Apple Green inks
- NOTE: I made two cards. On one I colored all the holly in Bermuda Bay and the pine sprigs in Granny Apple Green. On the other one I did the opposite.
Colored using a Stampin’ Blends Marker:
- white ribbon in Light Bermuda Bay
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- ribbon adhered onto the layer using Stampin’ Seal+, wrapping the ends around to the back of the layer
- 3 candles glued onto the front of the card base, overlapping them slightly
- die cut holly layer glued onto the front of the card base, over the candles, and lining up the bottom edges
- sentiment glued over the holly layer, hiding the bottoms of the candle (On one I glued the sentiment, and on the other one I adhered it using Stampin’ Dimensionals.)
- individual holly leaves and pine sprig glued onto the sentiment

I used the Sweetest Borders Dies and Sweetest Time stamp set along with ribbon and pearls to make this sweet holiday card. I used Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam instead of the more traditional red and darker green, for a subtler nod to the holidays. It also just happens to be one of my favorite color combos.

Stamped with the Sweetest Time stamp set:

Cut using the Sweetest Borders Dies:

- NOTE: I kept the two largest holly berry circles that came out of the die cut
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- ribbon adhered onto the top part of the die cut Soft Sea Foam CS layer using Stampin’ Seal +, wrapping the ends around to the back

- Petal Pink CS layer glued onto the small Soft Sea Foam CS layer

- larger Whisper White CS layer adhered onto the die cut Soft Sea Foam CS layer, over the ribbon, using Stampin’ Dimensionals
- a second piece of ribbon tied in a bow around the first ribbon, to the left of the sentiment
- pearls applied over the “berries” in the die cut. I used 5 small, 10 medium, and 2 large pearls. The 2 large ones are on the filled in circles. You could leave out the saved circles, and let the 2 large pearls have a Petal Pink ring around them.
- Whisper White CS with stamped holly glued onto the inside of the card base
Here you can see where I glued the two largest circles back in the holes for the two largest pearls:
