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

Today is the last day to get in on the Cyber Monday sale on Paper Pumpkin subscriptions.

Save big on a 3 month, 6 month or 12 month subscription. I love getting a crafty box in the mail each month!

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.

• Stamp with me! Tonight: Thursday, April 2nd at 8 pm on Facebook Live

  April 2, 2020

  ---

  Sadly, my April events are all cancelled due to the current pandemic.  I haven't had a month without seeing my stamping friends in many, many years!  We're having virtual clubs instead this month but it just won't be the same!

  I know many of you are in the same situation so I decided to do a weekly 'Stamp with Me' Facebook Live on Thursdays at 8 pm CDT. It's a virtual stamping class. Join me Thursday night, April 2nd here on my FB page.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  We'll be making these 3 cards plus a bonus technique I'll demonstrate. Remember you don't have to use these exact products!  You can easily substitute other paper, stamps etc.

  
  
  
  
  
  

  If you don't have the Magnolia Lane designer paper you can use any other paper you own instead.  It will be fun to see what everyone uses; we'll share our projects with each other afterwards. 

  Here are the supplies and measurements so you're ready to stamp with me:

  Measurements:

  • Card bases; one White 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", two of Mossy Meadow 4 1/4" X 11" 
  • Designer Paper – two designs cut at 4" square. Cut one  on the diagonal in half.  For the other, make a mark at 1 1/4" from the upper right and also from the lower left. 
  • Good Morning Magnolia stamp set

  Extras: (it might look like a long list; but it's mostly accessories) 

  • Black Memento & Petal Pink inks
  • Blends markers – Petal Pink, Light Mossy Meadow
  • one large oval die-cut (largest Stitched Shape oval die or cut a rectangle at 2 1/2" X 3 1/2") 
  • a 1 1/2" White circle and a Petal Pink Pretty Label punched piece. (You can easily substitute any shapes here) 
  • Champagne rhinestones 
  • Petal Pink ribbon
  • Sponge dauber for Petal Pink ink 
  • Mini glue dots
  • Dimensionals
