Good Monday morning stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Saturday was busy at work so the day went pretty quick. Sunday here in NJ was rain, rain, rain. It was a great day to stay in and decorate, which I did a little of in the morning. We had our quarterly team meeting yesterday, which was in person. I always love getting together with my team members, they are all the nicest people you would ever want to know. There’s a little bit of business for the meetings, then it’s time to stamp, chat, laugh and just have a great time.
Today’s card is one that I presented yesterday at out meeting and others stamped along. There were 3 of us presenting and we used a bundle that is carrying over from the September – December Mini Catalog. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Bundle along with the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper and Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder for my card today. All of these items will be carrying over which I’m so happy about.
I started by adhering a Winter Meadow DSP card front to a Misty Moonlight mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Liquid Glue.
Using the Merriest Trees Dies, I cut the largest and 2nd largest tree from a panel of Basic White. I cut the largest tree again using the 3rd largest and smallest tree die. I cut the 2nd largest tree again using the 4th largest tree die.
I embossed all the tree pieces using the Snowflake Sky EF. Using a Sponge Dauber, I sponged some Misty Moonlight Ink along the bottom edges of each piece. To assemble the tree, I used Stampin’ Dimensionals only along the bottom edges. I stamped the tree trunk image from the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Trees Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pecan Pie Ink on the panel of Basic White. I cut the trunk out using the Merriest Trees Dies. I adhered the trunk to the back of the tree using a Glue Dot. I adhered the tree to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Silver & White 1/2″ Sheer Ribbon and adhered it to the top of the tree using a Glue Dot.
On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink. I cut the end into a banner using Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio to the card front.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Trees stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered 2 strips of Winter Meadow DSP to either side of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Basic Whtie Thick card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Winter Meadow DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card, and you will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

In response to changing policies at Stampinβ Up β Iβm adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well. Iβm 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 β youβre 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 β which includes some of our fun Host Sets!
But β if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then youβll have two options:
- Youβll need to call Stampinβ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. Theyβre very helpful and will get it done quickly! ORβ¦.
- If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, thenβ¦youβll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards β this is the Bummer Option β and I REALLY donβt want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.
