Stampin’ Up! Beary Christmas Memories and More Card Pack

Posted on October 2, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! Sometime ago I received a gift from my upline of this very fun Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack. It has been sitting on my desk just waiting for me to play. I have three to share today. Before I share, look at pages 22 & 23 in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog and see all the items that come in the pack. These are larger in size: 4 1/4 x 6 1/2, so just be aware of that.

Stampin' Up! Beary C'mas Mem'ries & More Card Pack.2

Card 1, far left, uses the card base from the card pack, a layer of Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP, a window sheet (to make the shaker card) and these tiny trees die cut using the Tiny Trees Die found on page 13 in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog, a sticker from the card pack (Merry Christmas) and a twine (2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine Pack found in the 2023 Annual Catalog.) I also used Pearlized Enamel Effects in White and gave a dot on each of the green trees. It really does make the card sparkle! These little tiny trees are left over from another project some time ago :O)

Card 2, middle, uses the Card base from the card pack, another panel of the Beary C’mas 12×12 DSP and two ‘cards’ layered together and on dimensionals. I also used Pearlized Enamel Effects in white on the trees.

Stampin' Up! Pearlized Enamel Effects in white

It is important when using the Pearlized Enamel Effects to LET IT DRY completely. I usually add it at the end of creating a card and set it aside while I work on another project.

Card 3, far right, is another shaker card but without the shakers :O) That’s another story!!! Here I wrapped the gorgeous Silver & White 1/2″ Ribbon (from the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog) around the ‘shaker’ and tied it with Woven Metallic Ribbon in Parakeet Party from the 2023 Annual Catalog. I adhered the ‘shaker’ portion directly to the decorated card base – decorated with Beary C’mas 12×12 DSP.

This is such a cute card pack and I’ve had such fun putting it together. More cards will be shared another time.

Stampin’ Up! Simple Fun Fold Note Card

Posted on September 30, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

It isn’t raining this morning! Wheee – maybe a bit of sunshine once we have daylight. It’s still dark here in NJ at 6 AM. This card is elegant due to the Shining Brightly DSP: deep Night of Navy & Gold are just stunning on Very Vanilla. And I’ve chosen to do this on a note card size, which when folded is 3 1/2 x 5. But it could easily be done on a standard A2 size card: just adjust the front score to maybe 1 3/4″ and change up the DSP measurements. I see another post opportunity! :O)

Isn’t this Shining Brightly DSP just stunning?! I’ve paired it with Something Fancy stamp set and Something Fancy Dies for the sentiment banner. And these Gold Holly Leaves and Loose Holly Gems and Sequins add a delicate and wonderful touch. I began by scoring the notecard front at 1 1/2 then folded that back on itself. I added the Sining Brightly 1 34 x 4 34 to the front left panel and another strip cut 1 14 x 4 34 to the folded back front section. Next I added another piece 1 34 x 4 34 to the inside right so that when it closes it really is noticeable.

The Very Vanilla sentiment banner was first wiped with an Embossing Buddy to remove any static, then I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark ink and sprinkled Gold Embossing Powder then heat set. After die cutting I added the Gold Holly Leaves and the cute red gems from Loose Holly Gems & Sequins. I added dimensionals only on the left side of banner and secured the banner in place. Nearly done!

Stampin' Up! Simple Fun Fold Note Card inside

For the inside I used the Leaf Punch and Distressed Gold SDSP to punch a leaf. I trimmed it into sections and adhered the multi-leaf section in the top left and the single leaf in the lower right. I added more red gems from the Loose Holly Gems and Sequins to pull it all together. This allows plenty of room for my message :O)

Stampin' Up! Simple Fun Fold Note Card & envelope

For the envelope – very simple… I used another panel of the Shining Brightly DSP to adhere to the flap & trimmed it to fit.

Note Cards are available in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog as are the Gold Holly Leaves; the Shining Brightly DSP and the Loose Holly Gems & Sequins are shown in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Festive & Fun Pop-Out Card

Posted on September 3, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning, good morning! Happy Labor Day Weekend… I have this super cute card for you today, so getting right to it.

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun Pop-Out card, front

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun Pop-out Card, inside

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun Pop-Out Card, fully open

This card could be good for Thanksgiving or for Christmas. Yes, it does have holly leaves as part of the embellishments and ond colored on the cake, but … remove the embellishments and add something else for embellishment, color the sweater a different color, maybe Pumpkin Pie and there ya go. Oh, and don’t stamp the badger.

I used Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper in this wonderful plaid for the card front and another piece of DSP from the same pack for the pop-out portion. The card base is Pecan Pie.

Cut the card base 8 1/2 x 5 12 and score at 4 1/4
Cover the front in Designer Series Paper 4 x 5 1/4 (this is Let’s Go Fishing DSP)
Using a die from Stylish Shapes Dies, place it on the card front, centering left to right, and die cut.
Add a panel of Very Vanilla 4 x 5 1/4 to the inside of the card.
Cut a panel of Pecan Pie card stock 6 x 4 1/2 and cover in DSP 5 3/4 x 4 1/4. Score on the long side at 2″ & 4″. Burnish well.
Stamp the badger image from Festive & Fun stamp set on the second panel in Memento ink and color with Stampin’ Blends Crumb Cake. Color Lifter and Real Red for the candy cane stripes.
Cut a panel of Very Vanilla 4 x 1 1/2; stamp the sentiment from Festive & Fun stamp set in Real Red ink; add Real Red strips; adhere to far left panel of this three panel fold.
Adhere this three fold panel, centering, to the inside of the card. TIP: Before adhering it in place close card to make certain it centers with the circle opening of the card front.
Die cut the same size circle as the card front in Real Red card stock
Stamp image from Festive & Fun stamp set in Memento ink on a Very Vanilla panel and punch out with 2 3/8 circle punch. Color with Stampin’ Blends Crumb Cake, Real Red, Granny
Apple Green, Lemon Lolly (bottom of cake) and Wink of Stella for the cake top. Adhere this to the Real Red Circle.
Close card front with the inside three-fold panel folded; adhere decorated circle to the folded panel in the circle opening.
Decorate card front as desired.
- I added a bow with Linen Thread and Real Red ribbon from the Real Red and Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack
- I also added these super cute holly leaves from the Loose Holly Gems & Sequins in the new Sep-Dec 2023 Mini catalog.

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun Popo-Out Card & Envelope

The photo at left shows how the pop-out card looks from the top. The next photo is the card & envelope… the flap is covered in more of the Let’s Go Fishing DSP and the front is stamped with this cute bird in Memento ink from the Festive & Fun stamp set. It was colored with Real Red Stampin’ Blends.

Fun card, right? I can’t wait to see what you create with this Pop-Out idea. So many stamp sets to choose from!

Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek of Wishes All Around, Snowflakes

Posted on September 2, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello Saturday! Beautiful day here at the Jersey Shore – 54 degrees at wake-up time, warming as we ‘speak’. My card today some new products and some from the Annual Catalog – a good mix to show how SU! coordinates all their products.

Stampin' Up! Wishes All Around bundle, snowflake wreath

Isn’t this snowflake wreath pretty? It’s die cut using Wishes All Around Dies from the new Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog and Soft Shimmer paper in the annual cattie and sits on a Bright & Beautiful 6×6 DSP die cut with Stylish Shapes Dies in a square. That was added to Moody Mauve 2023-2025 In Color Luster paper just slightly larger. Here are the proper steps: die cut the square; die cut the wreath; lay the wreath on the die cut to indicate where to stamp the sentiment; remove wreath & stamp sentiment in Moody Mauve ink using a stamp from Wishes All Around stamp set; adhere wreath with dots of liquid glue; adhere to 2023-2025 In Color Luster paper in Moody Mauve.

Now create your card base: Moody Mauve with a layer of new product from the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog – Snowflake Magic Specialty DSP in white. I used strips of Silver Foil Specialty Pack to ‘frame’ the ‘centerpiece’ of the card. Here’s a tip on how to do that, cuz the square is on dimensionals…

TIP: Add a dab of Stampin’ Seal to the back of the square. Touch it several times to remove some of the sticky. Place it on the card front pushing down lightly. Add strips butting them up against square. Twist the square to remove it from the card front – do not pull straight up! Put dimensionals on the square and put in place.

To complete the decorating of the card… die cut more snowflakes using the Wishes All Around Dies and more of the Silver foil Specialty Pack. Adhere where desired. Tie a bow with the Metallic Woven Ribbon in Sweet Sorbet and Linen Thread and add with liquid glue.

And here’s another tip… When I add bows I sometimes use a glue dot, but if the bow is small, I like to use liquid glue. Put an acryllic block on top of it to hold in place until it is completely dry :O)

Stampin' Up! Wishes All Around, snowflakes inside

For the inside… on a piece of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Wishes All Around stamp set in Misty Mauve ink. i had an extra die cut snowflake from the Wishes All Around Dies and the Silver Foil Specialty Pack and added it to the Basic White panel.

Stampin' Up! Wishes All Around bundle, card & envelope

For the envelope… very simple – these three snowflakes on the envelope front were stamped in Misty Mauve ink and come from Wishes All Around stamp set. The envelope flap got more of the same Snowflake Magic Specialty DSP, adhered & trimmed to fit.

You may want to know why I chose a shade of pink for snowflakes… truth be told, when I was growing up I had an aunt who every Christmas her tree was decorated in silver & pink – therefore the inspiration. It’s not my style, I’m more of a traditional red & green kinda gal, but this turned out pretty well – and in memory of my aunt.

Now, I want to talk about the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog just a bit. The Designer Series paper shown on this card is one of the papers in the new cattie, and I have a Paper Share opportunity for you…

Below is a list of the papers for this Designer Series Paper Share.

A single paper share is $30 plus $8.50 Priority Mail Shipping.

A double paper share is cut 6 x 12 and is $60 plus Priority Mail Shipping.

Remember, one 6×6 sheet of each design from these DSP packs. Most original DSP packs come in 12 x 12 size unless otherwise noted.

Stampin’ Up! Beary Cute Dutch Door Christmas

Posted on August 20, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s Sunday and a glorious 60 degrees! But what that also says to me is summer is coming to an end… and I’m sad about that. Don’t get me wrong, fall is gorgeous, but there is something about the long days of summer that I really like; dawn at 5 AM and sun going down about 9:30 PM. This card is another sneaky peek at the Beary Cute stamp set and coordinating DSP. I love these bears, their faces mostly, whimsical.

The bear was fussy cut from the Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP. I put dimensionals on him & set this aside. The next was die cutting this gorgeous die from Holographic Trio DSP using the Christmas Classics Dies. As you can see, the die has lots of detail. I did peel one of the layers off the back to make the paper a bit thinner; then sprayed it lightly on the back with water to soften it. Then I ran it through the Cut & Emboss machine. :O) I next die cut the layer on which the bear is attached – a die from the Christmas Classics Dies and from Earthen Textures DSP. I put dimensionals on this and attached it to the larger die cut, then added the bear. I cut a piece of Misty Moonlight card stock 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 and ran it through the NEW Snowflake Sky 3D embossing Folder. This will be available to customer Sep 6 in the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog. If you don’t have a Stampin’ Up catalog yet, please connect with me & I’ll get it in the mail ASAP!

Next I created the Dutch Door card base: Very Vanilla card stock cut 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. On the short side, cut at 2 1/8 to the score line. Remove paper, rotate and cut along score line to the 2 1/8 cut, removing the top front half of the card base. (Save this for the inside of the card.) And that’s your dutch door! I ran that bottom ‘door’ through the same Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder to create more texture for the card. I added the square decorated panel with the bear, adhering it just to the ‘door’ of the card front, centering it. I added three Festive Pearls in silver.

Stampin' Up! Bear Cute Dutch Door inside

I cut a length of the Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP 2 x 5 3/8 and adhered it to the top half of the inside card base. The removed Very Vanilla panel to make the dutch door, was cut down to 2 x 5 3/8. I stamped this cute bear in Misty Moonlight ink using the Beary Cute stamp set. I adhered this to the inside of the card and worked on the sentiment. On a scrap of Very Vanilla, I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink using Beary Cute stamp set. I angled the ends, added dimensionals and attached it in the center of the card. I added three Festive Pearls in silver.

Stampin' Up! Beary Cute envelope back flap

For the envelope: more of the same pattern from Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP for the flap trimmed to fit; and this adorable bear stamped across the envelope front in Misty Moonlight ink using the Beary Cute stamp set.

OK, I mentioned these stamps and dies will be available Sep 6 via the Mini 2023 Sep-Dec catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics for the Happy Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Posted on August 17, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Thursday morning! How’s your week going? Mine is good, lots going on, but that’s OK. Working with others is medicine for my soul :O) We have a sketch challenge for our hop today and I’m excited to share a new product from the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog – or maybe a few new products. :O)

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Let me just say, I am LOVING this bundle! This comes in a suite of products called Joy Of Christmas and includes two stamp sets with dies, stunningly glorious DSP (2 packs), ribbon and gems & sequins. They may be found on pages 28-31 in the Min Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog. If you don’t have a catalog, reach out to me… I can ‘fix’ that!

This is a slimline card… card base is Shaded Spruce card stock with a layer of some of this gorgeous Joy of Christmas 12 x 12 DSP then a layer of Vellum adhered to that and a smaller piece of another panel of the Joy of Christmas 12×12 DSP. Then… I took out this glorious die for the background banner. It includes these off-shoots of leaves and holly, etc. I decided to die cut from yet another panel of the Joy of Christmas 12×12 DSP. I pulled out the Joy of Noel Dies to die cut holly (from Garden Green card stock) and pine sprigs (from Shaded Spruce card stock.) These were added to the back of the banner die cut from DSP with Stampin’ Seal then added to the card front with dimensionals. I pulled out a Basic White scrap and stamped this fun mixed font message which is from Christmas Classics stamp set and stamped it in Shaded Spruce ink. I die cut that with a die from the Christmas Classics Dies and added it to the larger banner with dimensionals. I added the Real Red gems from the Loose Holly and Gems & Sequins Pack.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Classics card inside

For the inside of the card… a piece of Real Red card stock with a layer of Basic White. Before adhering the Basic White panel I stamped it with the holly in Shaded Spruce ink, then the sentiment in Real Red ink. Both come from Christmas Classics stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! does not have envelopes that fit this size card, but I happened to have one in red :O). I stamped the cute holly stamp in Shaded Spruce ink on the front and on the envelope flap – and then didn’t take a picture of it. Ugh!

Card cuts for this card:

Shaded Spruce (card base): 7 x 8 1/2 scored @ 3 1/2 on the short side

Joy of Christmas 12×12 DSP: 2 5/8 x 8 1/2; 1 3/4 x 5 (plaid strip); 3 3/4 x 4 1/4 (banner die cut)

Vellum : 2 5/8 x 5 12

Real Red: 3 x 8 (inside)

Basic White: 2 1/2 x 7 1/2 (inside); 1 x 3 3/4 (front sentiment banner)

Stampin’ Up! Beary Cute Christmas

Posted on August 11, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning! I hope you have something fun planned for the weekend, cuz it’s a coming :O) I have a sneaky peek of a new bundle and a set of dies from the Mini 2023 September-December Catalog. The bundle is Beary Cute stamp set with coordinating Beary Cute bear punch. The Deckled Circle Dies are also featured prominently. Oh, and there’s an embossing folder too – Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. These products may be found on pages 22-24 in the Mini Catalog.

Aren’t these the cutest bears! The big bear was punched from the Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP. The other two bears I fussy cut from the same paper. The circles were die cut from Misty Moonlight card stock using the new Deckled Circles Dies – love. The largest circle I ran through the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder after die cutting. Each bear was attached to its own circle with dimensionals. I set these aside to create the card base: Thick Basic White, standard A2 size; Old Olive 4 x 5 1/4 with a panel of Beary Christmas DSP just slightly smaller. These two top pieces were adhered together then added to the card front with dimensionals. Theen the circles with bears were attached with liquid glue. The medium circle does have a folded over length of Glittered Organdy Ribbon for an added bit of sparkle. I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink using the Beary Cute stamp set and a strip of Basic White. It was added to the card front with dimensionals. The final touch was these gorgeous Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins in white.

For the inside… the tree outline was stamped in full strength Old Olive ink; the inside of the tree was second generation Old Olive ink. The package is stamped in Real Red ink, and the sentiment in Old Olive ink. Each of these is from the Beary Cute stamp set. This Basic White panel was added to an Old Olive panel 4 x 5 1/4 then attached to the inside of the card.

The envelope… more of the same panel of Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP for the envelope flap trimmed to fit. The bears were stamped in stamped off Balmy Blue ink using stamps in the Beary Cute stamp set. Voila – another card for my Christmas stash :O)

Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh Bundle

Posted on July 29, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Computers. Ugh. Mine was out of commission all day yesterday. Praying today will be a better day all around :O)

My card today is another scene using the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper. But it is super simple, no real embellishments.

This particular DSP is suited for either a Mossy Meadow background or Crumb Cake, or even Early Espresso. I wanted a light color and stuck with Crumb Cake for the card base and adhered the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP directly to it. It is such a serene scene. From Basic White and the Horse & Sleigh Dies, I cut two ‘mounds’ of snow and adhered those near the bottom. I stamped the horse & sleigh image in Memento ink and colored it with several Stampin’ Blends: Lost Lagoon, Light Cherry Cobbler, Light Smoky Slate and SU 100 for the skin tone. Then I die cut the piece with the Horse & Sleigh Dies and added it to the card front with dimensionals. I die cut the sleigh rungs from Silver Foil Specialty Paper and adhered those with dots of liquid glue.

For the inside, I took a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP, stamped Boho Blue snowflakes with the appropriate stamp from Horse & Sleigh stamp set and adhered this to the inside of the card. I took a piece of Basic White and die cut it with the Deckled Rectangle Dies, stamped the sentiment from Brightest Glow stamp set and added that to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh card & envelope

For the envelope: another piece of Fresh As A Daisy DSP and the fun snowflake stamp from Horse & Sleigh stamp set + Boho ink, then adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit.

Stampin’ Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Bay Window

Posted on July 22, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning. I’ve gotten a bit hooked on using One Horse Open Sleigh DSP in my cards of late – it’s beautiful, it’s scenic, and it just works! In my Thursday class we made this card and I just had to share. It’s soft and very pretty and just so easy.

Stampin' Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Bay Window

From the top, the bay window card looks like this… but it folds flat for mailing.

Stampin' Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Bay Window card from the top

I used Pool Party for the card base 4 1/4 x 11 and scored 1/4, 1 1/2, 3 1/4, 4 1/2 & 5 1/2. Fold the card in half and adhere the the 4 1/2 & 5 1/2 area together on the inside – so it looks like a book fold card. In the photo just above, it’s clear where the card is adhered together. Burnish the score lines well. Now it’s time to decorate with mats and DSP.

Mats 7/8 x 4 1/8 (2, end panels); 1 1/8 x 4 1/8 (2), 1 5/8 x 4 1/8 (center panel)
DSP cuts: I began by cutting my DSP 3 1/2 x 4 so that I had the scene I wanted, then cut the sections: 5/8, 1, 1 1/2, 1 & 7/8.
Adhere DSP panels to the mat sections
Adhere these to the card front keeping the scene intact. DO NOT ADHERE THE LAST FAR RIGHT PANEL JUST YET.
The far right panel needs to be on dimensionals and the card front 1/4″ section slips under this to make the bay window
Look again at the photo of the bay window from the top & on the right the dimensionals are seen. I used two Foam Adhesive strips to adhere to the final decorated panel as this creates a straight line for the 1/4″ edge of the card front to slip under.

Now for the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Bay Window card inside panel

The mat is cut 3 3/8 x 4 1/8. The Basic White is cut 3 1/2 x 4. I stamped the sentiment from Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Pool Party ink. The small rabbit comes from this same Horse & Sleigh stamp set and is stamped in Early Espresso ink stamped off. I used a remaining strip of the DSP to adhere to the far right side of this Basic White piece then adhered both to the inside of the card. And voila!

Stampin' Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Bay Window card & evelope

For the envelope I stamped this wonderful unadorned tree in stamped off Early Espresso ink. It comes from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set. For the flap, a piece of Subtles DSP cut to 2 1/4 x 6, adhered & trimmed to fit.

This stamps & Die set comes from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVE products in the Stampin’ Up! store. Shop with me here to see these ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.

Stampin’ Up! Z Fold with One Horse Open Sleigh DSP

Posted on July 21, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning! Is it TGIF for you? Do you have BIG plans or a relaxing time in store for you? Whatever you do, may you be energized. I have an easy Z-Fold card for you today. And yep, using the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP with the Horse & Sleigh bundle.

Stampin' Up! Z fold Horse & Sleigh Bundle

Cut & score the Basic White card base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 2 1/8 & 4 1/4. Burnish in an accordian fold (mountain, valley) as shown. The mat panels are Early Espresso: 2 x 5 3/8 (cut 2) and 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and adhered with liquid glue. The Designer Series Paper is One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 size and uses two sheets to create a flowing scene. They are cut 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 (cut 2) and from the second sheet cut 4 x 5 1/4. Adhere these to the Early espresso panels creating the flowing scene. Using the Horse & Sleigh Dies, I die cut three trees from Shimmer paper and adhered them with dots of glue. I could have stopped there, but… cut a Basic white strip 1 x 6 and score at 3″ & 5″. Cut another strip of DSP 3/4 x 6 and score it at 3″ & 5″. Adhere these two together matching the scoring places. On a 5/8 x 3 Shimmer paper strip stamp the sentiment from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Misty Moonlight. Add it to the existing 1 x 6 piece. Add this strip to the left card front (HINT: 3″ mountain fold should be at right edge of DSP panel on the largest panel). Once this glue has dried, close card and with the 1″ end folded in a valley fold, adhere to the right side of the card.. Add embellishments: Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes and a Metallic Pearls in silver.

Stampin' Up! Z Fold Horse & Sleigh, back of card

On the back of the card, I took another of the One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 sheets and cut it to 4 x 5 1/4. I stamped this sentiment using the Brightest Glow stamp set – and in Misty Moonlight ink.

Stampin' Up! Z fold Horse & Sleigh card & envelope

For the envelope… yet another of the One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 pieces of DSP cut to 2 1/4 x 6 and adhered to the flap, trimmed to fit. Done.

This suite of products is from the Stampin’ Up! ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and includes the Horse & Sleigh stamp set & Dies, the One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 DSP packet and the Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes. I’m having such fun with these :O)
