Good Monday morning stamping friends and Happy Halloween Eve. How many of you remember going out on mischief night and draping toilet paper on neighbors’ trees and putting soap on car windows? I know I’m dating myself here. That was always good clean fun that we had when we were kids, but it’s a thing of the past anymore.

I have another Christmas card for you today. I think Imay be at the end of having to make Holiday cards. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made my card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sending Cheer Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Beary Cute Photopolymer Stamp Set, Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper, Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder and Online Exclusive Traditions of St. Nick Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #609.

I started by adhering a panel of Joy of Christmas DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered a panel of Traditions of St. Nick DSP to the matted panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I wrapped a piece of Real Red & Gold 3/8″ Dotted Ribbon around the layered panel and adhered it on the back using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Real Red card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the gingerbread man image from the Stampin’ Up! Sending Cheer Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pecan Pie Ink 2 times on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the face image from the Sending Cheer stamp set in Versamark Ink on the image. I sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the images out using the Sending Cheer Dies. Using the Sending Cheer Dies I cut out 2 sets of the tiny hearts from a panel of Real Red. I embossed a panel of Vellum paper using the Stripes & Splatters EF. I adhered the hearts to the gingerbread men using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the gingerbread men to the embossed vellum paper using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the vellum to the card front.

On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Cheer stamp set in Real Red Ink. I cut the end of the sentiment and the end of a strip of Real Red using the Banner Pick A Punch. I adhered the banners to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Beary Cute stamp set in Real Red Ink. I adhered a strip of Traditions of St. Nick DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Real Red card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the gingerbread man image from the Sending Cheer stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Joy of Christmas DSP to the envelope flap.

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

If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.
