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!
I’ve had several play sessions with this amazing “Country Birdhouse” Bundle and it is truly so much fun to work with! My first card shown HERE, was super simple and used the NEW color BasicBeige. My second card shown HERE, was a “Notecard” sized card and was basically constructed mainly with the “dies” in this bundle. This time around I chose to again piece together my birdhouse with DSP from the “Country Woods”Designer Series Papers. This card is a standard A2 sized card.
The background on this card is a print from the “Country Woods” DSP. As a note, I die cut the “birdhouse” outline and used that piece of heavy white cardstock to build my birdhouse on. Very similar to one of my previous cards, but I chose slightly different colored “trim” pieces for this birdhouse. Also, I placed this birdhouse on the “wrought iron” looking post. Leaves and flowers from this “die” bundle were added for a bit more interest. The bird is placed so that it appears he is “perched” on the small birdhouse post.
Honestly, this card couldn’t have been any simpler, my favorite kind of card! This “Country Birdhouse” Bundle is definitely one of my favorite NEW bundles in the Annual Catalog!

I just received my Mini Catalog pre-order and had time to play with the NEW “Sophisticated Sled” Bundle. I love that this stamp set has great images and many of them have coordinating dies! The first image I chose to work with was the foliage spray and the awesome leaf swag die cut. I combined these two pieces for the focal point of my card.
First, I created a “frame” with a die from the “Everyday Details” Dies using a print from the “Season of Green & Gold” Specialty DSP. This fabulous die makes a border of small dots around the frame cut out, such a nice added detail! Two layers of the leaf swag were cut, one in Old Olive and the other in Mossy Meadow. Then I stamped the “foliage spray” image in “Memento Black” Ink and colored with “Stampin’ Blends”.
The greeting from the “Sophisticated Sled” stamp set was also stamped in “Memento Black” Ink. I added a “Cherry Cobbler & Gold” Ribbon Bow to the foliage spray with a “Mini Glue Dot“. This ribbon will be available in the upcoming Mini Catalog that begins on September 4th. I placed the “foliage spray” die on “Stampin’ Dimensionals”. Lastly, for one last bit of detail, I added “Wink of Stella” to the berries on the spray. Basically, a super simple card with the NEW “Sophisticated Sled Bundle”! This “bundle” is actually available NOW in the Stampin’ Up! on-line store under “On-Line Exclusives”.
