5 Stampin' Up! Sophisticated Sled Card Ideas + Video Tutorial

The Sophisticated Sled bundle includes some iconic imagery to celebrate the winter season. I love the sentiment: "I hope your days are filled with fun and laughter" because it reminds me of my youth when I loved playing in the snow and going sledding. It's been a long time since I have done either of those things. Even when my kids were younger, I let my husband take them out and I stayed inside and made cocoa for them when they came back in!

Here are a few cards that I made with the Sophisticated Sled bundle when it first came out as part of the July 2024 Stampin' Up! Online Exclusives offering. 

I love the classic combination of Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler, and Crumb Cake -- and the plaid pattern from the Iconic Celebrations Designer Paper ties it all together! Here's a second version that I made using a smaller piece of the designer paper.

For the ice skates card, I used Pool Party with the Snowfall Sky Embossing Folder for a monochromatic icy theme.

4 Stampin' Up! Autumn Caring Leaves Projects + Video Tutorials

I just can't get enough of these gorgeous Autumn colors in central Illinois! Here are some of the MANY photos I have taken on my walks in the neighborhood.

While it's not quite the same as the leaves in person, I've been having fun with the Caring Leaves stamp set to create fall cards in my stamp room.

Caring Leaves is a two step stamp set with an outline image and then a solid image to fill in with color. I used Sponge Daubers to create multi-color leaves on this first card.

Watch the video replay. I started out trying the Baby Wipe Technique, but the stamp image was not solid enough to create a vivid image. The results with the sponge daubers were much better.

I used the new Forever Plaid Embossing Folder to add a textured background to this clean and simple gate fold card that I made last week during Sunday Stamping.

Card Measurements:

• 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Old Olive Cardstock, scored at 2-1/8"
• 2-3/4" x 4" Cajun Craze Cardstock, embossed
• 3" x 4-1/4" Basic White Cardstock
• 3/4" x 2-1/2" Early Espresso Cardstock
• 1-3/4" Crushed Curry Circle

5 Stampin' Up! Playful Ghosts Halloween Cards + Bonus Project Ideas

I don't usually get Halloween stamp sets, but I couldn't resist these adorable images when the Playful Ghosts stamp set was first released as part of the July 2024 Stampin' Up! Online Exclusives. Since we didn't have any Halloween designer paper at time (we do now -- check it out!), I used the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder to create accent pieces in Basic Black cardstock that I incorpoated into my card designs. I used Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, and Highland Heather to create these cards.

I used Stampin' Blends to color the images on these cards and added a bit of Wink of Stella on the ghost for some sparkle.

I used a 2-3/8" Circle Punch to create the window on the front of this "Boo" card. The ghost is stamped on the the inside and also visible through the window.

This card was inspired by a card created by Stampin' Up! Concept Artists (see it below). I simplified my version with three circles (two 2-3/8" and one 2"). I stamped the images in black ink and then used a white colored pencil to color each ghost.

Using measurements from a team Mystery Stamping event, I created this card for an episode of Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie.

Watch the replay of Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie for tips on making the last card -- plus a bonus card idea using the same card layout!
