Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Karen’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Sketch Challenge and I decided to make a traditional color Christmas card. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s sketch.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics Bundle along with the Joyful Specialty Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.
This is our sketch for this week.
I started by adhering a panel of Joyful DSP to a Shaded Spruce mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to a Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment to a Shaded Spruce mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using the Christmas Classics Dies, I cut 4 of the holly leaf dies from a panel of Shaded Spruce, 2 or the sprigs from a panel of Gold Foil Sheet, 2 sets of berries from a panel of Cherry Cobbler and 4 sets of the veins of the holly leaves from a panel of Old Olive. I adhered the Old Olive holy veins to the holly leaves securing it on the back with Tear N’ Tape. I adhered 2 of the holly leaves using Glue Dots and the other 2 with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the Gold Foil sprigs between the holly leaves using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the berries to the center of the holly leaves using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Festive Pearls to the sentiment .
On the inside, I stamped the sentiments from the Christmas Classics stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a panel of Basic White. I adhered 2 strips of the Joyful DSP to the sides of the panel. I stamped the holly image from the Christmas Classics stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. I colored the image using Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the other set of berries to the holy using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Shaded Spruce mat then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base.
To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the holly leaf image from the Christmas Classics stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images using Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Joyful 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. Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop through and see everyone’s projects today.

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS: WRAGYZRS
Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! 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. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials. Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.
Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards!
Happy Stamping, Karen

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:
- 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….
- 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.
