All Star Tutorial Bundle Design Team Blog Hop November 2025-Lights of Aurora Suite (Video)

Welcome to the All Star Tutorial Bundle Blog Hop! 

Today we have a wonderful hop showcasing additional projects we created using the Lights of Aurora Suite Collection featured in our November 2025 tutorial.  I hope you enjoy my creation.

Ever look at your die-cut scraps and wonder if there’s something magical you could do with them?

Today, I’m showing you how to create a breathtaking reflection effect using the negatives from your dies — no mirror stamping required!

Inspired by a swap I received from my talented friend Christine Bertram, this card captures the look of shimmering water reflecting a mountain scene under the northern lights.

I started with one of the stunning Northern Lights prints from the Lights of Aurora Designer Series Paper — the perfect backdrop for this winter wonderland.

Then I layered my scene using:

• A mountain cut from White Velvet paper
• Detailed mountain overlays cut from a purple print in the DSP pack
• A tree line cut from a dark, moody section of the same papers
• “Water” cut from a blue-toned print

To create the reflection, I flipped the negative pieces from my die-cuts to use as a stencil and then I added soft ink blending with Blending Brushes, white craft ink ripples, and a touch of Wink of Stella for that magical shimmer.

The sentiment, Embrace the Magic, is stamped in Memento Black at the base of the water, with a single Shimmer Foam Star to dot the “i.”

Inside, I layered Balmy Blue and Basic White cardstock, stamping Cheers to Another Adventure from the Scenic Adventure stamp set and adding a small section of die-cut trees for a cohesive finish.

Using patterned paper for the die-cut elements instead of solid cardstock adds instant depth and variation in color — a beautiful way to create texture without bulk!

Why You’ll Love This Project:

• Teaches a versatile reflection technique you can use with any die shape
• Beautifully combines multiple stamp sets + papers for more creative value
• Looks like a work of art — but comes together faster than you’d think

Let the heavenly light of the aurora borealis inspire your crafting with the Lights of Aurora Suite Collection. This suite includes gorgeous paper showcasing waves of cosmic color, dies for creating stunning natural landscapes, and elegant all-occasion sentiment stamps—everything you need for dreamy handmade cards. Frosted iridescent gems and sheer blue ribbon take your designs to the next level. 

The only thing you’ll love more than the products in the Lights of Aurora Suite Collection are the projects you’ll create using them. If this stunning product suite is not already on your gotta have it list, I highly recommend adding it. 

Each piece is in the suite is designed with complete product coordination in mind—every piece of a suite looks great together. The Lights of Aurora Suite Collection includes:

There’s so much we can give our attention to and spend our time doing today, but what if you had something at your fingertips that allows you to create memories and express yourself instead of watching Netflix? That’s where our paper crafting kits come in!
