Each month I have a group of ladies who meet to stamp the 3rd Sunday of the month, they are called my Sunday Stampers, today was our November date. Thought I would share with you the cards we made.
First is the Festive Flower Card:
- Card base is Sahara Sand, stamped with Sahara Sand ink using the flower from Reason for the Season stamp set
- Mat of Early Espresso cardstock – 4” x 3”
- Whisper White cardstock 3 ¾” x 2 ¾” – stamped with greeting in the bottom right corner in Early Espresso ink
- Flower made with the Festive Flower Builder Punch
- For the large flower need: 3 1” circles, 8 large petals, 4 small petals and 2 double petals
- Using the Reason for the Season stamp set, stamp petals in the same ink color and sponge ends if desired. I have found it easier with less paper waste if I punch then stamp
- Adhere 4 petals to each circle and 2 double petals together in the center
- Layer with dimensional in between: large petals, large petals, small petals, double petals; in the end you will not see the 1” circles
- I used a Metal Rimmed Pearl in the center
- For a smaller flower use 2 layers of the small petals and 2 double petals
- When I made a flower from glimmer paper, I used glue dots to adhere petals and cardstock for the circles as they adhered much better
- Flower will be adhered to the upper left corner.
Next two cards are the Christmas Wishes (which uses Pacific Point as the main color) and a Snowman Shaker Card:

- Fun Foam layer is 3” x 5” (try to use fun foam close to the color of the outside layer)
- Center Fun Foam on the outside layer, turn over and mark a small “X” were you will die cut a circle
- Using the circle die, run through Big Shot cutting both (outside layer & cardstock) at the same time so the cut out shapes match
- Using a 3” square of Whisper White stamp image from Sparkly Seasons Stamp Set in the center of the square. Use various colored markers/pencils to color your image if desired (Sparkly Seasons bundle with matching Seasonal Frame Thinlit Dies
- Stamp Whisper White outside layer with snow globe base and greeting if desire at the top.
- In most cases greetings are 2 parts, one stamped and one die cut using the matching thinlit die
