Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the holiday weekend.
Today I have a Christmas card for you playing with an Online Exclusive Bundle. I know it’s only August, but when you make your own cards, you have to start early to get them done. I usually over make my holiday cards so I have a few to carry over to the next year. We’ll see what happens this year. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Sophisticated Sled Bundle along with the To Market Designer Series Paper, Take a Bow 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper (available Sept 4), and Hearts & Hugs Dies for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Sketch Time Challenge #342.

Adhere a panel of Take a Bow DSP to a Garden Green card base using Liquid Glue. Adhere a panel of To Market DSP to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the card front using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the wreath image from the Stampin’ Up! Sophisticated Sled Photopolymer Stamp Set in Garden Green Ink. Color the image using Granny Apple Green and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the image out using the Sophisticated Sled Dies. Adhere the wreath to the center panel on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the banner die from the Hearts & Hugs Dies, cut a panel of Take a Bow DSP. cut the banner in half using Paper Snips and adhere it under the wreath using Glue Dots. Add a few Gold Blooming Pearls to the wreath.

For the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set in Garden Green Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the mistletoe image from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the top of the panel. Color the image using Granny Apple Green and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a strip of Take a Bow DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Garden Green card base.

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the mistletoe image from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the envelope front. Color the image using Granny Apple Green and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Take a Bow 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!!

September-December 2024 Mini Catalog Paper and Ribbon Shares Open for Ordering

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!! I’m placing my share order early on September 4th and I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of September 9. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! September-December 2024 Mini Catalog? What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs! If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog, it would cost you over $135.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $60.00.
New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

How my shares work: I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ X 6″ pieces (or 6″ X 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list. I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the Name, Item # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!
New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

Double DSP Share – $42.00 + $9.00 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too! I’ll cut the 12″ X 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ X 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ X 6″ since they’re already precut.
New Ribbon Share – $17.00 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping
