Fantastic card with the Merry Christmas stamp with a free project sheet & video

December 9, 2025

Go here to subscribe.

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!

Here’s the free project sheet for you. Click here to download or print it.

3 Stamping Tips you need to know!

July 11, 2025
I thought I'd share some of my favorite tips with you today.
- how to use a ruler – some people find this extremely challenging
- standard card sizes and layers
- which ink to use when coloring with markers
First up is the ruler and card measurements. Understanding measurements can make card making so much easier!

I hope the above graphic helps you when you're creating a card. Save it or print it out.

~~~

Next I have a helpful photo for coloring your stamped images. It's very important to use the correct ink to prevent smearing as you color.

Save

I do also want to share a few more tips for coloring:
- Use Stazon ink when coloring with colored pencils, blender pens, water painters or when picking up our Classic ink from your ink pad.
~~~

Lastly is a list of the three types of stamps Stampin' Up! offers. It might be hard to read so I'll share the details in this list:
1. Photopolymer stamps are entirely transparent and adhere to your clear block. They're flexible and easy to use; especially with 2-step use.
2. Clink stamps are made of high-quality rubber. They cling like crazy to our clear blocks.
3. Distinktive stamps are a photo-realistic image with a special texture that give added depth and dimension with a single stamp.

*I hope one or more of these tips help you. Let me know which one or two you learned from today.

My favorite thing about this pack of paper is that the reverse side of the pretty floral patterns have a coordinating solid print. So I created a batch of fancy fold cards to show them off!
