One of my favorite products in the September – December Mini Catalog is the “Winterly Tree Tops” Bundle! Not sure which is my favorite, the stamp set and matching dies, the DSP, or the “Birchwood Embossing Folder”. Plus there are two coordinating embellishments in this “Suite” of products, “Natural Tones Linen Thread” and “Earth Tones Shimmer Gems”.
I just absolutely love how beautiful this card turned out! Basically, this was a “copy and tweak” from an example shown in the September – December Mini Catalog on page 30. I changed base colors and used a different greeting from the stamp set. I decided to shift the layout slightly and added an additional piece of DSP from the “Nests of Winter” patterns.
The bird was actually die cut from one of the DSP patterns. This particular print has two different “bird” groups and there is a coordinating die to cut out both of them! My folded card base was Gray Granite and the other colors used were Pool Party, Shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler. One thing to note, I embossed the piece of “wood grain” looking DSP with the “Birchwood 3D Embossing Folder” for some additional texture.
To finish my card, I added three of the “Earth Tone Shimmer Gems” and a simple bow made with the “Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/4″ Satin Ribbon” found on page 25 of the Mini Catalog. Such a super cute card with the “Winterly Tree Tops” Bundle!

I can’t begin to describe how beautiful the “Season of Green & Gold DSP” is. This Specialty Designer Series Paper features gorgeous greenery with glistening gold foil patterns on one side. I had used some of this paper in a previous post shown HERE. Personally, I am a huge fan of green and gold paired together!
This card was truly super easy to create. For my background, I chose a gold foil pattern from the “Season of Green & Gold” DSP. My card base was Very Vanilla with accents of Old Olive and Gold Foil. The greeting is from “Greetings of the Season” stamp set. I die cut both of the Old Olive “pine sprays” with two dies from the “Golden Greenery” Die set. For the “pine spray” with the gold foil accents, I used a coordinating die from the “Golden Greenery” Dies.
I cut the greeting panel with one of the stitched circles from the “Stylish Shapes” Dies. To create the focal point, I used several “circle” layers. One of the other dies used was the “Spotlight on Nature” Dies. To complete my card, I added a bow of (retired) Vanilla ribbon with Gold trim . Like I said, super easy card, but quite striking in real life!
Finally making another post with the “Sophisticated Sled Bundle”! Where did the month of September go? We traveled for two weeks in early September. After returning from our trip, it took me a few weeks to get caught up with the house and my business! As the saying goes, “too much to do and not enough time”!
For my focal point, I used the “negative” die cut from one of my previous cards that I posted. I chose to use a piece of DSP from the “Season of Green & Gold” DSP. The DSP prints in this specialty paper have some beautiful gold foil accents. This DSP is available as an “OnLine Exclusive” on the Stampin’ Up! website. I backed the rectangle die cut shape with a piece of basic white card stock and then a layer of Mossy Meadow. The greeting was embossed in gold, die cut and layered on the card with “Dimensionals“.
To complete this card, I added a gold bow with a previously retired ribbon. Lastly, I added three green rhinestones for an added accent. I believe these rhinestones were leftover from a previous Paper Pumpkin kit quite a while ago. There is one subtle detail that I wasn’t able to capture in my photo. I added “Dazzling Diamonds” Glitter (now retired) to the berries with “Multipurpose Liquid Glue.” The berries really sparkle nicely in real life and the “Sophisticated Sled” Bundle is super fun to create with!
