Fresh Freesia for Christmas Card? Yes! if using Merriest Moment Bundle

              

  • Stampin' Up! Merriest Moment Bundle
  • Check out the coordinating colors for the Kisses & Hugs January Kit
  • New Stampin' Up! catalogs in the mail to customers
I loving using non-traditional colors for Christmas Cards.  I'm also on a kick to use up some of my fun Sale-A-Bration papers.  Today's combination did both, and I'm so pleased with how these cards turned out.  Additionally, I can see using this card's layout and paper choices -- minus the pointestia-- for other celebrations.  I'm  using the Merriest Moment Bundle on today's card.  And I'm happy to say that this set will carry over to next year's holiday mini catalog.  However, you'll want to pick it up this year at the bundle saving as after this year's mini retires, it won't be sold as a bundle with the 10% savings.  Plus I love that this set can be used for more than holidays.  Just change the sentiment on this card and you'll easily have a great Spring greeting card.  As an added bonus, this is a unique bundle--a hybrid bundle.  It includes the stamp set, the coordinating dies, and the embossing folder.  One of the dies cuts at the same time you're using the embossing folder, saving you a step in your creative process! Take a closer look at this hybrid bundle, item #156783, here.     



Handmade Christmas Card in non-traditional colors using Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments

The basecard for this Thick Basic White.  Then a layer of Penguin Playmates 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper, which was a free Sale-A-Bration Selection during August, and turned out to be perfect for this card.  Then I created a die cut using the 2021-2023 Shimmer Paper in Fresh Freesia. This Shimmer paper has a side that sparkles and a plain side.  I found that when you dry emboss the plain side, that it creates a white outline, giving this paper a more distressed look.

Christmas Card using Fresh Freesia colors and the Stampin' Up! Merriest Moment Stamp, Die and Embossing Folder bundle



As I mentioned above, this is a hybrid die and embossing set.  That means I die cut and embossed the Fresh Freesia Shimmer Paper image in one pass through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine.   This set of dies also includes the stitched rectangle die, which I used to die cut the Basic White area used for the sentiment.  

Christmas Cards in two versions using non-traditional colors and Stampin' Up! Merriest Moments Bundle

To finish the card I stamped the sentiment from Merriest Moments in Fresh Freesia Ink.  I added a Fresh Freesia Ribbon, and I stamped two of the poinsettia stamps from this stamp set, die cut them, and layered them on the corner of the card. I added a pearl from the Pastel Pearl package to the center of the poinsettia.
