Good Friday afternoon stamping friends. We made it to the end of the week and the weekend is right around the corner. I hope you are starting to make some fun plans.

I decided it was time to start making some Christmas cards and what better way to start then with a quick fund fold featuring some new products from the Sept-Dec Mini Catalog.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Greenery Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Traditional Labels Photopolymer Stamp set and Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Score & fold the Secret Sea card base as listed below. Adhere the smaller panels of the Traditions of Christmas DSP to the front sides of the Secret Sea card base. Adhere the larger panel of the Traditions of Christmas DSP to the center front of the Secret Sea card base.

Stamp the sentiment from the Traditional Labels stamp set in Versamark Ink on the top of the Cherry Cobbler panel. Sprinkle the sentiment with White Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Adhere the Cherry Cobbler panel to the Secret Sea mat. Adhere the layered panel to the card base.

On a Basic White panel, stamp the large floral image from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Greenery Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the image with Gold Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Stamp the center poinsettia image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the gold outlined image. Stamp the small flower images from the Christmas Greenery stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink over the gold outlined image. Stamp the leaf image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set in Old Olive Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the gold outlined image. Stamp the berry image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the boughs. Using the Christmas Greenery Dies, cut the image out and the boughs from a panel of Old Olive. Adhere the bough die cuts to the sentiment panel. Adhere the floral image over the boughs with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Traditional Sparkling Sequins to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiments from the Traditional Labels stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. Stamp the bough image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set in Olive Ink on the corners of the panel. Adhere panels of Traditional of Christmas DSP to the sides of the Secret Sea card base. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat then to the back of the Secret Sea card base. Add a few Traditional Sparkling Sequins to the Basic White panel.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the bouquet image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set in Versamark Ink on the envelope front. Sprinkle the image with Gold Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Stamp the small flower image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set in Bubble Bath Ink over the outlined bouquet image. Stamp the leaf image in Old Olive Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. Stamp the bow image from the Christmas Greenery stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. 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!!
