Year of Cheer Christmas Cards from Stampin' Up!

  • Christmas Cards with Year of Cheer from Stampin' Up!
  • Card Class this week end - Oct 8
  • Fast Fuse sold out for Oct 1-10 for World Card Day
  • Additional October Specials

Year of Cheer Suite makes beautiful cards


The Year of Cheer Suite is one of my favorite collections to work with for Christmas Cards.  Today I put together two very quick Christmas Cards to show off some of the fun Christmas projects you can make with items from the Year of Cheer Suite in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.  The suite includes stamp sets and matching papers, of course, and the papers include foil designs that match foil Washi Tape, Foil Snowflakes, foil sheets, and metal embellishments.  
  
  



The basecard of the gold card -- on the right below-- is Basic Black, then a layer of Whisper White, and a layer of Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper, a gold foil Snowflake, and the sentiment is stamped in Basic Black on a 2-1/4" circle of Whisper White.

The basecard for the silver card, on the left below, is thick Whisper White, then a strip of the Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper.  The Silver snowflake is layered with a 2" circle punched from a Silver Foil Sheet, and the snowflake is stamped in Basic Black Archival on a 1-3/4" circle of Whisper White.  The left edge of the DPS includes a silver foil strip from the Year of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape.     




These are fast, easy cards that pack a wonderful punch of sophistication with the foil embossed paper matching the foil snowflakes, Year of Cheer embellishments, 1/8" gold ribbon, and foil washi tape.  You'll be amazed at how fast you can create handmade Christmas Cards using simple designs, like these, and products from the Stampin' Up! Year of Cheer suite.    





Products used to create these projects are from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog


In this photo I included one of the new mini pizza boxes decorated with pieces from the Year of Cheer suite of coordinating products. I love how easy it is to coordinate different designs using products from the Holiday catalog.  



Take a look at some additional ideas for using the Year of Cheer suite from the Holiday Catalog.
