The font on this Merry Christmas stamp sold me on it. Just a little bit of the fun, curviness I love.

This Merry Christmas stamp is a true classic with a bit of that Victorian feel to it. I don’t often keep retired stamps but I will keep this one! It’s on sale now too; while supplies last. Click here to see it.

I paired it with the Traditions of Christmas designer paper here. It’s discounted and on the Last Chance list here. However it’s currently out of stock but should be back next week.
A bit of holly and berries with some ribbon and you’re done! As you can see I added the same DSP to my envelope flap. Now that makes a card extra special!

This next one features the Need for Tweed designer series paper. See that here. Fun prints with lots of texture. It’s also on sale right now and available while supplies last.

I stamped the inside with greetings from the Traditional Labels stamp set.

Aren’t they a beautiful set of cards! I will be making more of these and it’s a bonus that it uses up a nice piece of designer paper. No hoarding it!

• Rings of Love Triple Panel card with video & measurements

  August 16, 2022

  ---

  Here's one more card I made during last week's FB Live with the free Rings of Love designer paper in our Sale-a-Bration offering.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I cut a 3 1/4" X 3" piece of the designer paper and then cut it into three 1" strips.  I then layered it onto three strips of Evening Evergreen CS. 

  I textured the Crumb Cake layer with the Timber embossing folder – it's also a new Free Sale-a-Bration choice in August; with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.   

  I love how the three panels create a 'scene', making the DSP the star of the card.  See the Rings of Love DSP here.

  Measurements: 

  • Poppy Parade 5 ½”X 8 ½”
  • White is 5 ¼” X 4”, Crumb Cake 5” X 3 ¾”
  • Evergreen is 5 1/8” X 3 7/8”, DSP is 1” X 3 ¼”
  • Evergreen strips are 1 1/8” X 3 3/8”

• Perched in a Tree Explosion card with video tutorial!

  August 15, 2022

  ---

  I can't stop using the Aspen dies!  I absolutely love this tree die-cut!  

  Did you know these dies are free during August with our Sale-a-Bration promotion?  Any $100 Stampin' Up! order and they're yours free!

  I created this card on last week's FB Live video.  You can watch it here.  

  For the card front, I simply added a layer of the Rings of Love DSP behind it for a soft background.  You can keep it this simple or create your own background!  

  However I made the inside of the card extra special with an Explosion fold. These look so difficult to do but honestly they're not!  Please watch the video; afterwards you'll want to make one!

  The left card has the Rings of Love DSP and the card on the right features the Storybook Gnomes designer paper.  For greetings I used the Soft Seedlings & Perched in a Tree stamp sets.

  I also shared an easy ribbon trick in the video; if you have trouble with bows I hope you watch.
