SURPRISE! Free shipping, again!

Today through Friday (Dec 10-12), your order ships FREE if the product total is $75 or more! And, you will qualify for the product of the month for only $5.00. This month, it's a 12" x 12" pack of DSP called True Blue Florals, which includes 2 each of six double-sided patterns:

When your cart reaches the minimum, a window will pop up and ask if you want to add it to your cart. Hint: You do! It's only available one to a customer, no matter how many orders you place in a month, and supplies are limited, so when it's gone, it won't be re-ordered by Stampin' Up!

Today's card is the one I made for our son, whose birthday was earlier this month. It used the Addressed to You stamp set from the upcoming new catalog, and the Lovely Stripes 3D embossing folder which will be in the Online Exclusives starting next month, too.

 

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Black & Gold Christmas

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Black & Gold Christmas, a truly non-traditional, modern and elegant look. Luckily, the Modern Christmas Specialty DSP has lots of black and gold patterns, so this card was easy to design!

I started with gold foil and used the largest Textured Notes die to cut it. Then I measured just inside the decorative edge to cut a piece of DSP to fit. (Measurements below.)

A gold foil tree was cut using the Pine Tree Trimmings die and embossed with the Lovely Stripes embossing folder that's coming in January. The sentiment is found in the Greetings For You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, which just happens to be on the Last Chance list. It's fabulous for quick cards because the greetings are already die cut AND have an adhesive back! It's out of stock right now, but supposed to be back in stock the week of Dec. 15. Grab it while you can for next year's cards!

Measurements

• Card base: Basic Black 4-1/4" x 11", scored/folded at 5-1/2"
• 1st layer: Gold foil sheet die cut 3-7/8" x 5-1/4"

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF898

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is using Basic White and any metallic. White and gold are a classic combination, so that's what I chose.

The gold embossed background used the new Lasting Linen background stamp that is a November Online Exclusive. I heat embossed with gold embossing power, but didn't cover the entire background, giving it a torn edge look.

The label and greeting are from the upcoming Jan-Apr mini catalog. The stamp set is called Addressed to You, and has greetings and images for holidays and birthdays.
