While it doesn't feel anything like Christmas with today's hot weather, I couldn't wait to play with the Stampin' Up! Sweetest Christmas Suite. I love creating when I'm not under pressure, and staring Christmas Cards now, gives me time to enjoy the creative process.  I love the dies and stamp set in the Stampin Up! Sweet Candy Canes Bundle, one of the two stamp sets and dies that are part of this Christmas Suite from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog.  I used the dies to die cut candy canes from the Sweetest Charismas Designer Series Paper, and used other dies to create the Real Red and Garden Green backgrounds as well as creating the foliage.  This suite also includes both Real Red and Garden Green Ribbons in a Combo pack, Sequins and Glimmer Papers.  This set has so many uses -- from Christmas Cards to gift tags and Holiday treats, you'll definitely want to add it to your Holiday Season order. 






Today's Christmas Card uses a base card of Thick Basic White Cardstock.  Then I die cut backgrounds in Garden Green Cardstock and Real Red Cardstock and layered the Garden Green backwards so the two Real Red and Garden Green stripes were in opposite directions.

Then, die cut two of the red and green Candy Canes from the Sweetest Christmas 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper  I used the Sweet Candy Cane Stamp Set to stamp and die cut additional greenery for my card.  I popped the greenery up on Dimentionals, but glued the candy canes flat to the card background.

I used the Garden Green ribbon from the Real Red & Garden Green 3/8" Ribbon Combo Pack to create a bow for the Candy Canes.  Then I added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the leaves.  I stamped a sentiment from the Sweet Candy Canes Stamp set in Garden Green onto Basic White and added it to the front of my card.
