This was my first play session with the “Humble Home Bundle”. This bundle has been in and out of stock, but I believe it is due back in stock the week of December 2nd. I’ve had a very busy month of November with two (2) Vendor events and a Holiday Stamp Camp at my home. Basically for me, with Thanksgiving and my events, November has flown by! I made this card for my display board at all of my events.
You can find the “Humble Home Bundle” in the September – December Mini Catalog on p. 46. Punches are so much fun, especially the one in this particular bundle! I tried to keep this card fairly simple with some embossing, dies and the coordinating punch. My color palette was Real Red, Basic White and a touch of Crumb Cake.
I embossed the Basic White layer with the “Snowflake Sky” Embossing Folder, #162026. This item is currently not available, but should be back in stock soon. After stamping the house and punching it out, I used “Stampin’ Blends” to color. I added “Wink of Stella” to the white scalloped edges on the house and roofline for a subtle shimmer. The Real Red die cut circle is from the “Spotlight on Nature” Dies. The Stitched Circle is either from the “Stitched Shaped” Dies (retired) or possibly one of the “Stylish Shapes” Dies.
“Red & White Baker’s Twine” was added to give this card a bit of detail. I also colored several of the larger embossed snowflakes with “Wink of Stella” on the upper portion of the card. Overall, a fairly simple and cute card!
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!
