We have welcomed in the 2025 Mini Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration. It’s an exciting time with lots of great new products. Today I’m joining in with the ESAD Mini Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop. Thanks for joining in with us.
Firstly, what is ESAD?
For our project today I have used the Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper available as a bonus choice for Sale-A-Bration and created a Book-Binding Fold Card. They are so easy to make and the paper makes it so fun!
The sentiment is from the Bright Borders Stamp Set from the Mini Catalogue and punched out with the To The Point Label Punch.
I created another version of this card and will show that to you in my next post and share more details on how to make them. So be sure to check back.
Now you can head off to Odette’s Blog -> HERE which is the next Blog in the Hop and they will share some more amazing creations. (Or click on the arrow below).
Enjoy your Hop,
Jenny

Did you know you can create your own textured background with dies?
For this card I diecut lots of white Berries and Holly leaves from the Reindeer Fun Dies and adhered these together. Then I added them to a white card mat. It adds a subtle texture.
Here’s how to Create this effect:
Diecut lots of Holly Leaves and Berries from the dies on white card.
Adhere the Holly and Berries together.
Lay all the Holly/Berry pieces out on the white card mat to position them how you like. Have some overhanging the edges.
Adhere them down to the card mat. Turn over the card and trim off the overhanging pieces.
Then complete the card as you like.
I added a strip of Reindeer Days Paper and a strip of the Green Glimmer Paper along with the bells coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I finished it off with a bow from the Real Red and Gold Ribbon.
Try this idea with some dies you have. It takes a little diecutting and sticking together but it is a fun way to use them.
Hope your Christmas Creating is going along well.

Recently I posted our Week 11 project for 12 Weeks of Christmas – and I just realized Week 10 project was still sitting in the Drafts Folder! SO you all missed out. So sorry. So we might be out of order but here is our Week 10 project. Be ready for our last project later this week.
Week 10 of our 12 Weeks of Christmas Series. This week’s card uses a fun technique to add extra detail. It’s the Partial Inked, Embossed Technique.
This is the card.
I have used the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder. The technique is inking part of the Embossing Folder and embossing the card. You can follow along in the video below.
The paper strip is from the A little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper. The Holly is from the Reindeer Fun Dies and the sentiment from the Reindeer Fun Stamp Set.
We are coming to the end of the Christmas series. Hope they have inspired you. Check back on my blog for the past ones if you missed them.
Happy Christmas Crafting,
Jenny

Our project today is using some of those scraps of Christmas Paper you have. I’m going to show you how to make Paper Folded Trees. They can be added to a card or to a tag.
They are very easy to do and you can create them in any size. Just be sure it is a square piece of paper. You can fold little bases for them too.
Check the video to see how to fold them.
Have fun making them.

Peaceful Season Bundle
Peaceful Evergreens Bundle
Season of Elegance 12″x12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper
The Peaceful Evergreens Bundle. In the Die set there are a number of tree shaped dies. Some diecut the stamped trees with other dies giving more detailed diecut trees. There is a also a dotty diecut shape to add a “snowy” effect on your projects. And notice the funny oval and tail shape dies? They create little bows to add which is fun.
The Peaceful Seasons Bundle. The stamp set contains numerous sentiments. Some you can combine together or use them on their own. There is the option to stamp the “Christmas”and Diecut it and layered. Or you can diecut the “Christmas” word and layer together. There is also some elegant label and banner shape dies.
The Season of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper. Featuring beautiful gold foil along with textured backgrounds in neutral and Christmas colours, this paper was hand painted to give your projects an artistic look, great for the Christmas season and other special occasions.
The colours in this paper are Basic Beige, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, gold, Gray Granite, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Pretty Peacock, Real Red.
The Painted Trees Embossing Folder adds such detailed texture to your projects. The embossed card created with this folder can be used as a background look or as a statement in itself on a card front. It is beautiful.
What about some projects with this. These are created by Stampin’ Up! artists.
Just a tip with using the Embossing Folder. When you have embossed your card. Try daubering on some ink over the raised trees to give the trees some coloured definition.
The “square” shaped diecuts can be layered together to add directly to the front of the card.
Or layer the other elongated shaped diecuts.
These little Gift card pockets are dressed up with the diecut bows.
What do you think of the Season of Elegance Suite? So much to love.
This week’s card is using the Frosted Forest stamps and masks. You could use this idea with any tree stamp.
This is a Portrait Fold card. That’s what I’m calling it anyway. I’m not sure if it has a particular name. The fold is at the top of the card.
You can follow along with the video below. The full tutorial will be sent out in next week’s newsletter if you are a subscriber. If not check the side bar on my blog.
I have used the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper and some sparkly Glimmer Paper.
I used just one mask in the Frosted Forest mask set. You can add other layers of ink if you would like to.
This is the card.
Embossing the card mat adds some extra texture. I have used the Timber 3D Embossing Folder on this one.
Hope you enjoy it.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

Week 5 of our 12 Weeks of Christmas series. This week it is an Off-Set Gatefold card. It’s just a little different to the regular Gatefold Cards.
For this card I have used the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper. It’s so easy to cut one of the sweet birds from the paper to add to the front of your card. One of the Dies from the Winterly Tree Tops Dies is meant to diecut one of the birds but you can fussy-cut them out too.
Create this how you like to and it can be great for any occasion. Once you have the scoring worked out it’s very easy to create. You can follow along in the video.
The pretty diecut circle was cut with the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I do love this die set with the pretty edges. There are 3 different die edges in the set. See them more -> HERE.
The written tutorial will be sent out in next week’s newsletter. If you would like to receive them the link details are in the right hand side column.
This is the card created and you can see the inside.
Have fun creating one. And share it with me if you like to. I love to see other versions.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

Did you catch last week’s video for our 12 Weeks of Christmas series?? It was created with the Cut and Flip Method. That’s what I call it anyway.
The card in the video was using the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper. I created another version. This one is using the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper.
Simply put the Cut and Flip Method is take a piece of pretty paper. Cutting it and then flipping one side over. So you see both sides of the paper. And it is cool too.
This is the card.
The sentiment is from Reindeer Fun Stamps and Dies. The tree was stamped in Garden Green and Granny Apple Green.
Don’t forget some sparkle with the Granny Apple Green Glimmer Paper.
You can check the video by heading back a post or two.
Have fun creating one.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny
