Good Wednesday morning stamping friends, we’re halfway through the week. I hope your week is going well.

I played with a Christmas set today from the July Online Exclusives and made a CAS card. I don’t usually do simple, but I wanted to make something that’s easy to replicate for multiple Christmas cards. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Festive Cheer Stamp Set for my card today.

Stamp the outline ornament images from the Festive Cheer stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the solid ornament images from the Festive Cheer stamp set in Peaceful Pine, Basic Beige, Cherry Cobbler and Barely Blush Inks.

Stamp the ornament top image from the Festive Cheer stamp set on the ornaments in Secret Sea Ink. Stamp the ornament string image from the Festive Cheer stamp set in Secret Sea Ink from the ornaments to the topo of the Basic White panel.

Stamp the sentiment from the Festive Cheer stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat. Adhere the layered panel to a Secret Sea card base. Add a few Sunset Sparkle Sequins around the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the Festive Cheer stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the 2 larger outlined ornament images from the Festive Cheer stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Secret Sea Ink. Stamp the solid ornament images in Cherry Cobbler and Peaceful Pine Inks over the outlined images. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat then to the inside of the Secret Sea card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the smaller outline ornament image from the Festive Cheer stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the top of the envelope front and all of the outline images in Secret Sea Ink on the envelope flap. Stamp the ornament tops and string images in Secret Sea Ink. Stamp the solid ornament images in Barely Blush, Basic Beige, Cherry Cobbler and Peaceful Pine Inks over the outlined images.

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