Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are all having a great weekend and I hope you have tomorrow off too.
Today I made a fairly quick Christmas card using a set that was returned from last year’s July-December Mini Catalog. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper for my card today.
I started by adhering a panel of Painted Christmas DSP to a Basic White Thick card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flower image from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink, the sentiment and holly leaf image in Shaded Spruce Ink, and the splatter and flower center images in Soft Sea Foam Ink. I cut the flower and holly leaf images out using the Merriest Frames Dies and the sentiment using the Deckled Rectangle Die.
I adhered a piece of the Rose Gold & White 5/8″ Striped Ribbon to the card front using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment to a Shaded Spruce mat and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the flowers and holly leaves using Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sequins & Gems to the card front.
On the inside, I adhered a panel of Painted Christmas DSP to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base. On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink. I cut the panel using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I stamped the flower, holly leaf and splatter images on the panel in Blushing Bride, Shaded Spruce and Soft Sea Foam Inks. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card base using Stampin’ Seal.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower, holly leaves and splatter images from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Blushing Bride, Shaded Spruce and Soft Sea Foam Inks on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of 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!!

We created six new dies that coordinate with stamp sets in the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog and the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog. These coordinating dies will only be available during this promotion and will not be offered in any catalog.
