Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is your weekend going? I had a very embarrassing moment yesterday. My alarm went off it’s normal 5am. I got myself up and dressed, ate breakfast and went to work. The only problem was, I was off yesterday and I work today. I knew something was wrong when I tried to open the door to go into the store and it was still locked. The managers I usually work with get in at 7:30, and hour and a half before the store opens. The manager that worked yesterday never gets there until 8:45, 15 minutes before the store opens. So I had another rainy/stormy day to work on cards and some other things I’ve been wanting to get to. Needless to say, I’ll be at work all day today.

I have another Christmas card for you today. I figured I really need to get myself going with these cards and since the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog is in full swing and full of wonderful Christmas sets, now’s the time. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Delivering Cheer Photopolymer Stamp Set (one of my absolute favorites) along with the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by stamping the bottom half of the image from the Delivering Cheer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink to the right side of a Basic White panel. I stamped the top half of the image from the Delivering Cheer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink, lining up the package with the top of the skirt, on the Basic White panel. I colored the image in using my Ivory, Mint Macaron and Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the Delivering Cheer stamp set on the top of the panel in Mossy Meadow Ink.

I stamped the skirt image from the bottom half of the image from the Delivering Cheer stamp set on a small panel of Whimsy & Wonder Spec DSP in Tuxedo Black Ink. I fussy cut the skirt using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the image using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using my Christmas Tree Dies, I cut the large tree die from a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock and the garland die from a panel of the Silver Foil Specialty Pack. I adhered the garland to the tree using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the tree to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I fussy cut multiple presents from a panel of Whimsy & Wonder Sped DSP using my Paper Snips. I adhered some of the presents on the stamped image using Stampin’ Seal and some under the tree using Stampin’ Seal and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the card front to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the front of a Blushing Bride card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Delivering Cheer stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered more of the presents I had fussy cut, from the panel of Whimsy & Wonder Spec DSP using my Paper Snips, on the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blushing Bride card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Whimsy & Wonder Spec DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
