  • Stampin' Up! Sweet Candy Canes Bundle
  • Join Stampin' Up! During Sale-A-Bration for Planner Special and more
  • Free Sale-A-Bration Selections with 3, 6 and 12 mo Paper Pumpkin Subscription
I love using Stampin' Up! Suites, like the Stampin' Up! Sweetest Christmas Suite.  I'm using the Designer Series Paper for a card again today, and I'm so pleased with the way the paper designs all work together so I don't have to worry about coordination.  Pick a couple of print from the Sweetest Christmas 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper, matte them in Basic White or Coordinating color, in this case Real Red, and add a few Candy Cane Die cuts and the card is essentially complete!.  Here's a little trick.  I wanted a banner for this card, but haven't received the Christmas Banner Bundle yet.  So I improvised.  I used the banner from the Hello Harvest Stamp Set along with a small piece of Masking Paper to mask off the sentiment that comes with that banner  Then I used the sentiment from the Stampin' Up! Sweet Candy Canes Stamp Set to add the sentiment I wanted for this card.   This suite also includes  the small foliage on each side of the candy cans, and then I added a couple of Champaign Rhinestone Basic Jewels to add a little glimmer to the cards.   As I've mentioned before, this suite 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 a layer of Real Red which matted a print from the Sweetest Christmas 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper.  Then I selected a red dotted print from the same Designer Series Paper pack and matted it in Basic White to use as my image layer.

I used the dies from the Candy Cane Dies set to die cut two of the printed Candy Canes from one of the the Sweetest Christmas 12" X 12" Designer Series Papers. I chose one in Garden Green and White striped    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.

Then I used the Hello Harvest stamp and Rustic Pumpkin Dies and created the banner.  I used a sentiment from the Sweet Candy Canes Stamp Set to add a sentiment in Garden Green.  I added a couple of Champaign Rhinestone Basic Jewels, and my card was finished!

Get in the Halloween Spirit using Stampin' Up! Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper Host Item

  

  • Stampin' Up! Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper Host Item
  • Stampin' Up! Vintage Christmas Stamp Set
  • Earn Sale-A-Bration Selections with 3, 6 and 12 mo. Paper Pumpkin Subscription
Here's a simple, fun idea for creating Halloween cards.  I used one of the prints from the Celebrate Everything Designer Serie paper Pack, a 48 sheet pack  you can purchase for $18.00 USD, with a $150.00 USD order.  This paper pack is 4 times the size of our normal Designer series Paper Packs, and includes 4 each of 12 doubt-sided designs.  It's perfect for creating fall and winter cards, scrapbook pages or treat holders.  And with 4 of each design, you'll have enough to creat the duplicates you want to make.  I used a basecard of Highland Heather, and selected a black and white print with pumpkins and ghosts.  I used Pumpkin Pie Blends to color the pumpkins and left the ghosts white.  I cut the print into stips and matted it on black.  I added a Black and White Gingham Ribbon , and a sentiment from the Vintage Christmas Stamp Set and this card went together in a few minutes time.  I like fat easy cards that I can use around holidays.  This is an easy, fast way to create for Halloween when you have limited Halloween sets.   

Halloween card idea usign Designer Series paper and sentiment from the Vintage Christmas Set


Today's Christmas Card uses a base card of Highland Heather Cardstock.  Then I selected a pumpkin and ghost print from the Celebrate Everting Host Designer Series Paper, colored the pumpkin images with Pumpkin Pie Blends and Granny Apple Green stems, and cut the design into strips.  I matted the strips onto Basic Black Cardstock.

I added a Black & White 1/4" Gingham ribbon to the bottom of the card.   I needed a longer banner than the die from the Stylish Shapes creates, so I die cut it just a bit longer to fit my sentiment. This die cutting technique is easy.  You just place your top cutting plate to stop cutting before the pointed ends of your banner.  Then you reposition your die and cut the pointy end.

Host item which can be purchased with a $150 order


The sentiment is from the Vintage Christmas stamp set, and works perfectly for this card.  I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink and popped it up on Dimensionals before adding it to my card.
