Today I’m excited to share a card made by one of my Candy Hearts team members, Debbie Catlett. Everything she makes is amazing. Her attention to detail and eye for pretty cards make her projects some of the best I’ve seen. She continues to amaze each month at our Hearts gathering with her swap cards. For today’s project, Debbie used the new Heartfelt Blooms stamp set from the 2018 Sale-A-Bration catalog along with the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper and Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies to create a beautifully rustic thank you card.
The Heartfelt Blooms stamp set is made using a new process to create a photorealistic image with only one stamp. Similar images typically use 2 – 3 stamps applied in layers, such as the Sweet Little Something stamp set.
AND the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set is FREE with a $50 order, but only through March 31, 2018. Be sure to take advantage of this amazing Sale-A-Bration opportunity.

Today I’m sharing the last of four cards I made for the Rising Star card swap, using the Night in Bethlehem bundle. I wanted to give the feeling of a desert city at night, so I used Night of Navy for the night sky, and Sahara Sand and Crumb Cake for the dunes and the buildings. I used copper to add a little shine to the card, both with embossing powder and Copper Foil Sheets.
Here’s the bundle:
Night of Bethlehem Bundle © Stampin’ Up!
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Night of Navy card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Sahara Sand CS cut to 4″ x 4″
- Sahara Sand CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside
Stamped with the Night in Bethlehem stamp set:
- sentiment in Versamark ink onto the front of the card base, near the top right, then heat embossed in copper
- shepherd in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Sahara Sand CS, then heat embossed in copper
- NOTE: To heat emboss:
- 1) rub the CS with the Embossing Buddy to cut down on static
- 2) stamp in Versamark ink
- 3) cover the stamped area with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder
- 4) melt powder with a Heat Tool until it’s shiny
Die cut using the Bethlehem Edgelits:
- shepherd
- star from a Copper Foil Sheet
- each of the two Edgelit designs from both Sahara Sand CS and Crumb Cake CS (4 pieces total)
- This is a photo of all the Edgelits I cut out for all the swap cards. 4 pieces x 5 cards = 20 pieces:
Cut using Paper Snips:
- curve along the top of the 4″ x 4″ piece of Sahara Sand CS, to resemble dunes behind the city
Assembled the card:
- Sahara Sand “dune” layer glued onto the front of the card base
- city layers glued onto the Sahara Sand layer, starting at the top and working down
- shepherd glued onto the last city layer
- star glued onto the front of the card base
