I am releasing these videos together because I actually combined the two sets for the Apothecary Labels projects. This way you can check out both at the same time. I have never posted two videos in one day so we'll see how it goes. I hope it's not confusing!
You can find these products on the Diamond Press website: www.mydiamondpress.net while supplies last. Click "Shop" and you'll see the "September 2026 New Items" button. That will take you to the new sets!
DISCLAIMER
Diamond Press sent me the Perfectly Preserved and Apothecary Labels Kits for free so I could create samples for them as a guest designer. While I do not currently have any affiliate links.
Right now, I am just going to refer you to the Diamond Press website and you just purchase direct through them.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: I announced last month that I was leaving Stampin' Up! and I am including that video here if you want to watch it.
I also have another video of the Diamond Press Halloween Mantle Set and I'll include that video link here as well if you want to check it out.
I hope you enjoy today's projects and that it inspires you to create!
Today I am announcing that I am leaving Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator at the end of this month, August 31, 2026.
This means you will be able to place orders with me until 8/30 HERE
If you have any questions I am happy to answer them to the best of my ability.
It is time for a change. Please stick around for what's next for me in September!
I am taking a few weeks to transition and try something new and I'll be back with videos in mid-September!
I will still have my email list. I will still have my YouTube Channel, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest accounts in the Stamping with Hart name. I plan to continue making crafting videos!
I can say more next month.
I am so grateful for the people I have met and for the education I have gained and the experience I have had as a demonstrator over the last seven years. I have made a ton of mistakes but was creative and enjoying the process every step of the way (even on the really hard days).
While I am a hobby demonstrator and do not have a big business or team, the upcoming changes to the compensation plan (announced to demonstrators in Early August) were a factor in my decision to leave, but it's also just time to move on to something new!
The Compensation Plan changes will take effect on October 1, 2026 and really only effect demonstrators so I don't plan to go into detail on that, just to say that when I saw the new plan I knew it wasn't a good fit for me at this stage in my crafting journey and with the changes I have coming.
I am very excited for the next chapter in my crafting journey and I hope you stick around to continue to craft and create and make cards and projects right along with me!
Thank you for being here! I hope you stay!

Seasonal Cheer "Halloween" Embossing Folder Timid Tiger, Very Vanilla and Basic Black
MEASUREMENTS
Card Base: 4-1/4 x 11" Score: 5-1/2" - Trim 2-34" off of one side for fun fold panel
2-3/4 x 4-1/4" - Inside Panel
DSP Side Panel: 2-1/2 x 4" (Frightfully Fun DSP)
DSP Front Panel: 2-1/2 x 4" (Frightfully Fun DSP)
Inside DSP Panel: 4 x 5-1/4" (Frightfully Fun DSP)
INSTRUCTIONS
Once you have cut your card base and DSP pieces you can glue the Designer Paper panels to the card base.
You can use multiple DSP patterns for this fun fold but to keep it easy I used two patterns for most of the cards. NOTE: Depending on the pattern you choose, the side panel is vertical and the front panel pattern horizontal.
For the fun fold: take the 2-3/4" panel you trimmed off the card base and glue it to the side flap being careful to only put adhesive on the left side of the fun fold piece.
To glue the insert, line it up with the fun fold front panel, add adhesive to the back of the insert and then carefully set down making sure it is hidden behind the fun fold front flap. I like liquid glue for this because you have a moment to adjust the panel before the glue sets if needed.
Decorate as desired. For stamps, die cuts and embellishments I chose to decorate with complimentary embellishments to the Designer Paper patterns. If there are ghosts, I added ghost die cuts and embellishments, etc.
I used the Web of Fun Bundle as well as the Frightfully Fun Suite (Oh My Fright Bundle is part of the suite) including the paper, ribbon and Ghosts and Bats embellishments. This suite is back in stock!

Black and White theme with Phrases & Frames Dies Frightfully Fun Stamp Set and DSP
(1) DSP Strip for Belly Band 1-¼ x 4-¼” (A Stitched Season DSP)
(1) 4 x 5-¼” DSP Panel (A Stitched Season DSP)
(1) 2-½ x 5-¼” DSP Panel (A Stitched Season DSP)
(1) 2-½ x 5-¼” Basic White Panel
(2) 1 x 5-¼” DSP Strips - 1-¾ x 5-¼” (A Stitched Season DSP)
(1) 2-⅜” Circle
(1) 2” Circle
(4) Nutcrackers (trim off tag top) (Nutcracker Tags Kit)
(2) Sentiment Die Cuts from Nutcracker Tags Kit
(2) Holly Die Cuts from Kit
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: No stamping or die cutting for this card. I did use circle punches for the circles on the belly bands. We will use the Nutcracker Tags Kit to make budget friendly Christmas cards!
Here is an Accordion Tri-Fold Card. Cut card base 5-½ x 11.” Score: 4-¼, 7 and 9-¾”. Glue all of your panels to the card base. The white piece will be the third panel because it’s hidden when the fun fold is closed.
Trim off the tag tops from the nutcrackers. Use the girl nutcracker for the first flap. You will use two of them and glue them back to back so I recommend trimming off both tag toppers at the same time so it’s lined up when you glue them onto the first flap.
Add two more nutcrackers side by side on the last panel. Add your embellishments and greetings. I used only kit pieces for the decorating (the holly and sentiments) but you can use any coordinating Christmas bundle from your collection.
I used A Stitched Season Designer Series Paper for this card as well. This paper matches nicely with the Nutcracker Tags Kit.
Belly Band: cut another strip of cardstock 1-½ x 9-½” Score at 2-⅝ and 7” or you can just wrap your belly band around the card and wherever the crease is just score the crease with your scoring tool to get a clean fold.
Glue your white 2” circle to the 2-⅜” Granny Apple Green Circle. Add a greeting center with mini dimensionals. Glue the 1-¼ x 4-¼” DSP strip to the front of the belly band. I wanted to cover the seam with the DSP. Glue circle over top to cover the seam as well.

BONUS CARD! You can find the tutorial for how I made this card on YouTube and my blog under Raven’s Tale Summerween Cards and Gable Box! I did a Halloween version for the demo but here is a Christmas example swapping out the raven for a nutcracker! This is also a fun card to make though this one does involve stamping, die cutting and heat embossing! Raven’s Tale has this amazing corner stamp I’ll be using all season long!
Summerween Series 2026: Raven's Tale Cards, Tag and 3D Gable Box!
The Raven's Tale Stamp Set is now available as part of the July 2026 Online Exclusives release. I will be combining the Frightfully Fun Suite along with Phrases & Frame Dies for today's Summerween projects.
Stamp raven in Versamark ink directly onto the gable box (large panel). I recommend using the anti-static tool before stamping on box.
TIP: Turn your Stampin' Positioner into vertical position to accommodate the length of the gabe box.
Sprinkle black heat emboss powder over image and heat set with heat tool. Repeat this on other side of box. Just make sure you give a minute for the heat emboss to cool down and dry. If you are doing a whole set of gable boxes in this theme I recommend using the Stampin' Positioner to make this more efficient.
NOTE: The raven is a large stamp. It measures 3" from beak to feet and diagonally it measures 3-1/2" from head to tail feathers.
Gable Boxes are part of the Frightfully Fun Suite but can be purchased separately as well
GABLE BOX
To decorate your gable box you'll need (1) Phrases & Frame *largest frame* die cut and (2) Frightfully Fun DSP panels measuring 2-3/8 x 3-3/8" and glue to DSP panels to either side of gable box.
Cut up the Phrases and Frames Die Cut (in Basic Black) so (2) strips measure 4" and (2) measure 2-1/2" Glue as border along bottom of gable box.
Stamp "Happy" and "Halloween" from the Raven's Tale stamp set in Versamark ink on the Pumpkin Pie Oval Die Cut (also from Phrases and Frames) and heat set in black as well.
Use (2) magical swirl die cuts in Basic Black on either side of the oval and place next to the raven on the gable box.
OPTIONAL: If you have Festive Cheer Dies use the pine branch as a feather die cut! You'll cut (2) in black cardstock and glue to the top panels of gable box.
THE CARDS
This card uses the corner stamp from Raven's Tale Card Base: Basic Black 5-1/2 x 8-1/2" Score: 4-1/4"
Die cut Phrases & Frames (largest die) in Pumpkin Pie and Very Vanilla. The process for stamping the raven with the Stampin' Positioner is the same with both cards.
Also for both cards you'll ink directly from Versamark pad to the frame all over it. You can be messy. Sprinkle with the black heat emboss powder and heat set both frames and ravens.
For the card with the corner stamp, I recommend stamping the corners first and then stamping the raven. You'll put the raven on your large positioner plate. You'll use the narrow plate for the corner stamp.
Use the "v" notch at the top center of positioner base to place your panel. The panel you are using is the insert rectangle from the largest Phrases & Frames die. Use your narrow plate vertically along the spokes at the top of positioner to keep aligned. Place corner stamp (clean and dry) in position on the corner of cardstock and then pick up with narrow plate. Ink it with Versamark and stamp all four corners by rotating the rectangle after each stamp. Continue with heat embossing in black.
Because this stamp is very detailed with thin lines I recommend heat setting the powder from the back. This way you do not lose any powder or details. This heat tool has two settings (1 and 2 or low and high) I like to use the high "2" setting but that may be too powerful for this delicate image. You can use the low setting if you want if you prefer to heat set from the front.
This card uses the Nevermore stamp from Raven's Tale Card Base: Very Vanilla 5-1/2 x 8-1/2" Score: 4-1/4"
The measurements and steps are the same for the Very Vanilla version of the card with the exception of no corner stamping. On this card, I used the Iridescent Black ribbon to create a bold frame around the image.
By heat embossing these fabulously detailed impressions dies it gives a gothic, weathered look to your Summerween cards!
THE TAG
Use the Oh My Fright Tag Die for this project. This comes in the Oh My Fright Bundle or Frightfully Fun Suite.
Use white cardstock and Frightfully Fun DSP for the tag. For the DSP just a strip is fine. It's only for the top of tag above the frame. You'll use the middle size frame in Pumpkin Pie cardstock.
Stamp your raven on the tag centered. Heat set like the other projects. Use a tree die cut from Oh My Fright in Basic Black. Turn sideways to use as a perch for the raven. Trim off the excess branches. Tuck one of the trimmed off branches in the upper corner of tag. Adhere frame with foam strips or dimensionals.
Add black dots from embellishments in the Frightfully Fun Suite (Bats Ghosts and Dots Embellishments). Use black iridescent ribbon for tag and tie a bow.
NOTE: For the video I only decorated one side of the tag and I did not a sentiment. I plan to add a tag to back as well and add a sentiment later. I was short on time for the video!
I hope you enjoyed today's Summerween card and project ideas!
