I chose to feature a few new stamp sets or bundles from the 2020 Holiday Catalog.
From top left to bottom right:
Snow Wonder bundle in Misty Moonlight & black
Poinsettia Petals bundle in Real Red & Mossy Meadow
Joyful Holiday with Gleaming Ornaments, Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce & Green Foil paper
Life is Beautiful in Early Espresso & Balmy Blue
Class will be on both October 12th & 16th and we'll make 3 of each card with coordinating envelopes.
If you're not local to Minot, ND you can purchase the pdf tutorial too. Check it out here to see this one and September's too. These tutorials are great for personal use or for class projects too!
The top two cards feature the Tidings & Trimmings bundle & the Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6" DSP. Both are in a suite seen in the annual catalog on pages 88-89 or here.
The bottom two cards feature the new Eden's Garden stamp set & the Ever Eden specialty designer paper. See them both here.
Measurements:
Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" plus 1" X 4" strip for embossed layer. *To cut the front flap, cut at the 4 1/4" point to the score line.
Cherry Cobbler card stock 4" square, plus 3/4" X 5" strip
DSP 1 7/8" squares X 4 (can be 1 3/4" to leave a space between like the card on the lower left)
White inside layer 3 1/2" square
Do you see the difference in the two cards below? Note the space between the designer paper squares on the left card. The DSP squares on the left are 1 3/4" in size. The DSP on the right card are 1 7/8" in size so they have no space in between.
*If you love this stamp set & Designer Paper you should get it this month. I'm giving away a free cards kit with online orders this month plus a PDF tutorial with 22 projects! See details below.

Check out this CUTE project I made on last week's Facebook Live. It's an adorable hat that doubles as a treat box. Besides Christmas this could be perfect for a child or a baby shower!
The two hats are made with our Layering Circle dies and Whimsy & Wonder specialty DSP. I used the largest scalloped die and the largest smooth die in the set. To get the sides of the greeting strips I used the round end of a punch. *tip shared in the video here. They are 1/2" and 3/4" in width.
Below is the template for the box; please watch the video below to see how it's put together.
I kept to the colors in the Whimsy & Wonder DSP for my card projects. Mostly Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron & Polished Pink. I made the lower left card ahead of time and the right during the Live video. Look at the detail on these die-cuts! So many choices!
Every tree and accent was die-cut using the Whimsy & Wonder DSP, Silver foil paper & Mint Macaron CS. The tag is from the Tags & More set of dies seen here. The embossing folder is called Wintry 3D and it comes in a pair seen here.
I wanted to include some silver embossing for the ornaments card and used an entire panel of the pretty Specialty Paper on the card front. I pulled in Mint Macaron & Polished Pink from the DSP and coloring to coordinate. That's my favorite thing about Stampin' Up! – our color coordination. No more shopping for things that match!
This card below is probably my favorite of the three. I die-cut a white tree from my card front (4 3/4" X 3 1/2") and sponged it with Polished Pink ink. Then I added a piece of designer paper behind the window and offset the sponged tree.
What a neat but quick Christmas card this would be!
