This card was inspired by Julia Mazur, who did a Guest Stamper presentation for us at my Traditions of Christmas Suite Escape Retreat earlier this month. Julia showcased the Hobby Haven Suite and I love how she layered the stamps in the Creative Haven Bundle to create a background on the banner. Both the banner and the oval shapes are included in that Creative Haven Dies.

Stampin' Up! has been releasing new products every other month all year! This month's Online Exclusive release includes two suites with coordinating products like designer paper, stamps, dies, ribbon, and embellishments. In last week's Sunday Stamping video, Mom and I showcased the Brushed with Beauty Suite. I also used my favorite new bundle -- Banner Sayings which has a coordinating punch with three banners. I'll definitely be using this one A LOT!
This "Card in a Card" was inspired by the Curly Girls swaps that I shared in the The Great, Big Card swap Video, October 2025, Part 2. Check out the end of the video to see all of their different creations! Here's my version:
I love the layering on the middle piece. I embossed the vellum with the Beautiful Pattern Embosing Folder and layered the die cut and punched banners over the top.
