Good Wednesday morning stamping friends and Happy October!!! I hope you are all having a great week so far. Today’s the day you want to sign up and join the Stampin’ Up! community. Come join my team, I’d love to have you join us.

I made my favorite kind of card today featuring lots of layers. 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! Traditional Labels Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Greenery Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Traditional Labels stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. Adhere the stamped panel to a Basic White mat with Stampin’ Seal.

Adhere the layered panel to a Basic White Thick card base with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere a panel of Traditions of Christmas DSP to a Bubble Bath mat with Stampin’ Seal.

Adhere the layered DSP panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the Basic White stamped panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals, keeping the sentiment to the side of the layered DSP panel. Add a gold Traditional Sparkling Sequins to the card front.

Stamp the sentiments from the Traditional Labels stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink to a Basic White panel. Stamp the floral bouquet outlined image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the side of the panel. Stamp the small-solid flower image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink over the outlined image. Stamp the solid bow image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. Stamp the leaf image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. Stamp the bough image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set in Old Olive Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Bubble Bath mat and a Cherry Cobbler mat then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the larger floral image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the small-solid flower images in bubble Bath and Cherry Cobbler Inks over the outlined image. Stamp the solid leaf image in Crumb Cake Ink and the bough image in Old Olive Ink. Adhere a panel of Traditions 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!!

During sign up you will have the option to add additional items to your order that you can take advantage of at no additional shipping cost.  These items are optional, however if you want to recreate the cards you will need them. If you’ve attended a previous class, you were given a discount code, there is a spot to put that code on the form and the discount only applies to the products that you check off that you wish to purchase, not the class.  Since the Bundles are already discounted, the discount does not apply to them either.

I will email written directions that will include directions, cardstock cuts as well as photos to help you create each card.

The bundles are not included in the price of the class.  You can purchase the bundle through me at an additional 10% discount of the Online Exclusive price (see below).
