‘Sup, y’all?? Is your weekend going well? Ours is going as expected – under a gorgeous blue, GA Fall sky! Yep – the weather is beyond perfect – one of those days that help us forget the miserable days of summer!
I’m planning to go “help” my friend Jan today. I might have told y’all that their lab had puppies last week. And Jan is trying to do a lot of puppy holding to get them people-acclimated and socialized. I have SELFLESSLY volunteered to go hold puppies to give her a hand.
I know. I am such a GIVER! 😉
So…if you were able to join me yesterday afternoon for my YouTube tutorial, I appreciate you spending part of your day with me! If not, but you’d like to see the replay – here ’tis!
I pulled out my Merriest Moments stamp set with the gorgeous Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder (this is a 3D Embossing Folder designed to work hand in hand with the Merriest Frames Dies). The result is a clean and white card with a pop of color from a pretty Poinsettia. Take a look-see:
I was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches challenge for this one.
And the color palette is from the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge.
I started by embossing a Basic White panel in the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder – then I matted the panel on a piece of Night of Navy with Liquid Glue.
I matted a strip of Gold Specialty Metallic Paper on Night of Navy and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I ran a second Basic White panel thru the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine in the Merriest Frames folder. Then I put the die from the Merriest Frames Hybrid Die set in place and cut out the large and gorgeous floral image.
I stamped one of the pretty sentiments from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Night of Navy in the center of the die cut and then popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Note: I deliberately made the die cut “upside down” when compared to the embossing on the card front – so that the pretty embossing is visible! 🙂
On a piece of Basic White, I stamped the large and small poinsettia from Merriest Moments in Rich Razzleberry. I stamped two leaves images and three small “frond” images in Old Olive. Then I cut them all out with their matching dies from the Merriest Frames Hybrid Dies.
I also cut five of the pretty flowers from the gold Specialty Metallic Paper.
I did some dry fitting and then adhered the leaves, fronds and gold flowers with Liquid Glue.
I stacked the flowers with a Stampin’ Dimensional and used Liquid Glue to adhere two of the little gold flowers with Liquid Glue. Then I adhered the flowers with a couple of Dimensionals.
I added some small, clear Wonderful Gems – one in the middle of the gold flowers on the poinsettia and two in the corner of the sentiment frame – and that was it for the card front!
On the inside, I added a second Merriest Moments sentiment in Night of Navy to a Basic White panel. Over the top, I stamped the largest frond image in stamped-off-once Old Olive. Then I added a small, clear Wonderful Gems gem.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Night of Navy mat and into my Thick Basic White card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the large frond image in full-strength Old Olive on the front…
…and again on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! How pretty is this three-piece Merriest Moments stamp set with the bundled Merriest Frames Hybrid 3D Embossing Folder?? It’s just a stunning way to create absolutely gorgeous layering pieces!!
I hope you like!

Mom! You dropped something on the floor!
I think it’s a cheese bag!
Yep. Cheese bag. And…yes…I think….there’s still CHEESE in it!!
I’ll just take this and dispose of it properly, Mom.

Your card is wundermuss as usual! I love this bundle but haven’t played with it enough. Finn is such a helpful man! Have a blessed day.
Thank you, Karen – you as well! 🙂
Such a beautiful card! Love the white-on-white with the touches of gold and Rich Razzleberry. Well…to be fair, the cheese was on the floor and he’s just doing his part to clean up. 😉
It was. He’s a helper!! And…CHEESE!!!!! Thanks, Amy! 🙂
Been doing a lot of puppy holding myself – we just got an 8 week old mini-Aussie. Love your cards – especially the way you take us step by step how you created your masterpieces. Thanks!
Oh my goodness. I bet he/she is absolutely adorable! Don’t forget the hold-like-a-baby position in the crook of your arm (belly up) – that’s an important step! Thank you so much – I’m glad that you like the directions! 🙂 Have SO much fun with that new sweetie pie!
What a great helper!
Once again, I missed the live video, but just watched the replay. Simply gorgeous card. Love that bundle!! Like your color scheme too, a bit unexpected, but perfect.
Thanks, Julie! I MIGHT have made up the concept of a Rich Razzleberry poinsettia. It’s probably…SILK! 🙂
This is one of my most favourite bundles Mary and the bold colours against the white, with the touches of gold, are so pretty. Thanks for playing at CAS Colours and Sketches this week!
Thank you, Joanne! Appreciate the kind words! 🙂
Gorgeous card, Mary! The layers and dimension are just fabulous. Thanks for playing along with us at FMS this week.

This is such a gorgeous card Mary! I just love that die cut and those beautiful poinsettias! So perfect for Christmas! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
Thank you, Jen! And thanks for taking the time to come by to leave a comment! 🙂
Those diecuts are fabulous and you showcased them beautifully! Gorgeous card! Glad you shared it at FMS!
Thank you so much, Linda! Appreciate it – and you! 🙂
Super pretty and love the use of the colors! Our Finn is sneaky (& super adorable.) too. But who could blame them when cheese is involved.
When cheese is on the table – ALL bets are off! Betting your Finn is adorable, for sure! Thanks so much, Stephanie! 🙂
