Stampin’ Up! Holly Jolly Wishes Fun Fold

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. I hope you are able to enjoy a 4 day weekend and have some fun plans. I have always had off the weekend after Thanksgiving to do all my Christmas decorating. I like to get it all done in one weekend so that I can enjoy it for over a month. We have so many decorations and it takes so long to put everything out I like to enjoy it for a while. Unfortunately we are short handed at work so I have to go in.

Today’s card is yet another version of the card I made last Friday on my Facebook live. You can change this card around so much by just changing the color and DSP that you use. If you’d like to stamp along with the video, I’ve posted the links to the videos along with the measurements below. Here’s my card for today.

For today’s version I used the Stampin’ Up! Holly Jolly Wishes Cling Stamp Set along with the Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper.

I started by embossing a Pool Party card front using the Checks & Dots Embossing Folder. I cut a panel of Sweet Stocking DSP from the right center in 2″. I then scored from the center cut line to the 2 corners using my Paper Trimmer. I adhered the DSP to the Pool Party card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered card front to a Pool Party card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut the 3rd largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies from a panel of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the circle. I adhered the sentiment circle to a Cherry Cobbler scalloped circle mat that I cut using the coordinating die from the Layering Circles Dies.

I adhered the layered circles to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the circle. I tied a small bow using the Pool Party 3/8″ Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and adhered it to the layered circle using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of the Sweet Stockings DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat and then to the inside of the Pool Party card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Sweet Stockings DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my fun fold card and will give it a try. To see the video on how to make this fold from last Friday on my Facebook page, you can find it Here. To view the how to video on my YouTube channel, you can find it Here. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Be Jolly

Good Saturday morning my stamping friends. Welcome to the weekend. I hope you have something fun planned. I was suppose to have off today and only work a half day tomorrow, but things changed. I’ll be working today and tomorrow at the hardware store. One of my cashiers is sick and we had to rearrange the schedule and I won the prize lol.

I pulled out another Christmas set from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog for todays card. I love the images from this set. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Be Jolly Cling Stamp Set along with the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by embossing a Real Red card front using the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered a panel of the Heartwarming Hugs DSP to the left side of the card front. I adhered another strip of the Heartwarming Hugs DSP across the card front towards the bottom. I adhered the card front to a Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the adorable Santa image from the Be Jolly stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Ivory, Real Red and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I used the Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Marker on the beard just to highlight and add a little color and then used the Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter to remove most of the color. I cut the image out using the 2nd largest Layering Circles Dies. I cut a scallop circle from a panel of Real Red cardstock using the 2nd largest scallop circle from the Layering Circles Dies. I adhered the stamped image to the scalloped circle using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Holly Jolly Wishes Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front just above the strip of DSP. I adhered the layered Santa image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Real Red Wonderful Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped another one of the adorable Santa images from the Be Jolly stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it in the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat and then to the inside of the Real Red card base.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the Santa image from the Be Jolly stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored it the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Heartwarming Hugs 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. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Eden’s Holly Jolly Wishes for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. I can’t wait to see what everyone has created this week. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Holly Jolly Wishes Cling Stamp Set along with the Eden Dies (available 11-2-21) and the Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper (available 11-2-21) for my card today.

Here is our sketch for this week.

I started by adhering a panel of Ever Eden DSP to an Evening Evergreen card base. I cut a panel of Evening Evergreen and Gold Foil using the largest leaf frame die from the Eden Dies.

On the center section of the Evening Evergreen die cut I stamped the sentiment from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder from the Metallics Embossing Powders and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the center section of the Evening Evergreen die to the card front then adhered the Gold Foil die to the card front matching up the cut pieces. Save the Evening Evergreen leaf frame die for another card

I added a few Wonderful Gems to the card front and Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the berry looking pieces on the die.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Encircled In Warmth Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on a Basic White panel. I immediately sprinkled it with my Gold Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I stamped the leaf images from the Stampin’ Up! Eden’s Garden Cling Stamp Set (available 11-2-21) in Evening Evergreen Ink on the top and sides of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Gold Foil mat and then to the inside of the Evening Evergreen card base.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf images from the Eden’s Garden stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Ever Eden DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Delivering Cheer Fun Fold with Video Tutorial

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I hope you were able to join us yesterday for our Inkin’ Krew World Card Making Day Facebook Event. There were 9 of us that did live videos making some beautiful cards, there were giveaways when you left comments on some of the posts and a lot of inspiration going on.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video yesterday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Delivering Cheer Cling Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Holly Jolly Wishes Cling Stamp Set along with the Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper for my non-traditional Christmas card today.

I started by using the Delightful Tag Topper Punch on the Smoky Slate card base and cut the right and left side of the panel on the top by sliding the paper into the punch and lining up the edge of the cardstock with the punch. I trimmed the excess pieces using my Paper Trimmer and scored the punched tag on the right side. With the scored tag to the right, I scored the card base at 4 1/4″.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the bottom and top sections of the lady from the Delivering Cheer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set on the top of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Ivory, Pale Papaya, Smoky Slate and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pale Papaya mat using Stampin’ seal and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiments from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set and the Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Plaid Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink to the left side of the panel. I stamped just the top part of the presents from the Delivering Cheer stamp set on the bottom right of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them in the same as I did for the card front. I adhered the Basic White pane to a Pale Papaya mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Smoky Slate card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I threaded a piece of the Pale Papaya 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon through the 2 punched tags and tied a bow. I added a few Pale Papaya Genial Gems to the card front.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the top of the presents from the Delivering Cheer stamp set on the envelope front in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them in the same as for the card. I adhered a panel of Peaceful Place 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. If you do CASE this card, please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under the post. I’d love to see your take on the card. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video.
