Stampin' Up! Merry Christmas to All Stamp Set perfect for Holiday cards

  • Stampin' Up! Merry Christmas To All Stamp Set
  • Stitched Seasons Thinlits
  • Holiday craft fun with the November Paper Pumpkin Kit

Stampin' Up! Merry Christmas To All 


I made this quick card today and love the simplicity of it.  Just a few straight cuts and a simple die cut and a punch and you're done.  Love cards like this that come together quickly.  The stamp set is Stampin' Up! Merry Christmas To All, which includes wonderful sentiments for Holidays and other celebrations.  The die is from the Stitched Seasons Thinlits.         

  



The basecard is Crumb Cake cardstock.  Then a layer of Cherry Cobbler.  Then a pattern from the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper Pack.  The image layer is Very Vanilla backed with a layer of Cherry Cobbler.

   




The sentiment is stamped in Cherry Cobbler, and the sentiment is from the Stampin' Up! Merry Christmas To All Stamp Set.

The bow is die cut from Cherry Cobbler using the Stitched Seasons Thinlits.    

The leaves are punched using the Sprig Punch from the Holiday Catalog.  I punched them out of Garden Green cardstock.

We have so many wonderful accessories in the catalog, and I was so tempted to add more to this card, but I resisted to keep the clean overall look.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Baubles Christmas Card

  • Stampin' Up Beautiful Baubles
  • Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
  • Jump start your Holiday Cards.  Join this weekend's class

Stampin' Up! Detailed Baubles Thinlits Dies 


I made this card for a swap in September and forgot that I hadn't posted it on my blog.  So, today, when I was busy getting our weekly errands out of the way, I was so happy to uncover this card.  It uses the Beautiful Baubles Stamp set and the Detailed Baubles Thinlits Dies.  Paired with Silver Glimmer paper and Swirls & Curls Embossing folder, its a perfect Holiday card.         

  



The basecard is Thick Whisper White.  Then a layer of Night of Navy, and then another layer of Whisper White. I dry embossed the top half of this Whisper White piece using the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. 

The image layer is mounted on a strip of Night of Navy.  The Silver Glimmer paper is punched with a circle punch.  The Detailed Baubles Thinlit Die cut a netting of Night of Navy to cover the Silver Glimmer paper.

   




Behind the Ornament is another Silver Glimmer Paper element die cut using the Petals & More Thinlits.  I think it adds just the right unifying element to the card.  I backed this die cut with a piece of Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets to make it easier to adhere the piece to the Night of Navy background.

On the top of the ornament, I added a bow of 3/8" Silver-Edged Metallic Ribbon.  

The sentiment is from the Beautiful Baubles stamp set.  It's stamped in the lower right corner of the card in Smoky Slate ink.



   
Take a look at other sets and dies available in the Stampin' Up! Main Catalog and the Holiday Catalog,  Then, order your holiday stamp sets and dies soon so you'll have them in plenty of time to create your handmade holiday cards.
