Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. Here we are, halfway through the week again and on our way to the weekend. I can’t wait for the weekend to get here. I’m meeting up with some of my team members for a retreat in Georgia. I’m so looking forward to getting away and getting together with my team members and spending the weekend crafting, talking and laughing.

Today’s card is one that we made on Sunday at our quarterly team meeting. This beautiful card was designed by one of my team members Donna Leonard. She presented the card via Zoom and we were all able to stamp along with her. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Season Bundle and the Stampin’ Up! Christmas To Remember Cling Stamp Set for my card today.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Christmas To Remember stamp set on a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock in Real Red Ink. On that same panel using the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Season Photopolymer Stamp Set, I stamped the leaf image in Evening Evergreen Ink, the pine bough image twice in Soft Succulent Ink, the berries in Real Red Ink and the pinecone image first in Soft Suede Ink and the detailed image in Early Espresso Ink. I cut all the images out using the Seasonal Labels Dies.

I embossed a panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock using the pine bough folder from the Wintery 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of the Painted Christmas DSP to the other side of the Cherry Cobbler mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of the Cherry Cobbler & Gold Metallic Ribbon around the layered panel and adhered in on the back of the panel using Stampin’ Seal.

I arranged the die cut pieces the way I wanted and adhered them using Glue Dots. I adhered the sentiment panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Gold Holly Leaves on the card front using Glue Dots. I cut the berry die apart by cutting the single berry off and adhered them to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas To Remember stamp set in Real Red Ink on a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the leaf image from the Christmas Season stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the side of the panel and the berry image in Real Red Ink on the leaf image. I adhered a strip of the Painted Christmas DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of The Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf and berry images from the Christmas Season stamp set in Evening Evergreen and Real Red on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Painted Christmas DSP 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!!
