August 2025 Showcase

Hello and welcome to the Ink Stamp Share blog hop. We are a group of demonstrators who love to share our passion for card making with you. The challenge for this blog hop is the August 2025 Showcase. That means we share with you whatever we are working on. Now I just received my pre-order for the new mini catalog and September Online Exclusives. It was so hard to choose what I wanted to start playing with.

I ultimately chose the Festive Friends Bundle. Isn’t the Elf, Snow Man, and of course, Santa just so stinking cute?

My card base is Thick Basic White cardstock. I layered a mat panel of Shaded Spruce on top of the card base. For the next mat layer, I chose Cherry Cobbler and embossed that with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing folder. The Designer Series Paper I used is called Elegant Pine Snowflakes. Snowflakes isn’t my cup of tea, but I do love this paper.

I stamped the snowman image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White cardstock and die-cut it with the large circle Stylish Shapes Die. I colored the nose using Timid Tiger Stampin’ Blends, his hat in Secret Sea Stampin’ Blends, and his scarf in Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment is stamped using Shaded Spruce ink and die-cut with one of the Traditional Labels Dies.

And what is a card without bling? I added three of the Traditional Sparkling Sequins. Both the sentiment and snowman are popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

It’s not too early to start your Christmas cards, and the Festive Friend Bundle is perfect for them.
