Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. I’ll be heading out this afternoon to go with my future daughter-in-law to go wedding dress shopping. I haven’t been in a bridal shop in over 39 years and I’m sure things have changed drastically.
For today’s card I played along with 2 different challenges. The sketch challenge is one of my favorite designs with 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 is my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Noel Tidings Bundle, Neutral Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper and Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies for my card today.
Using the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush and your Bone Folder, tap the Shimmer Brush on the Bone Folder to splatter a panel of Mossy Meadow. Adhere the Mossy Meadow panel to a Pecan Pie card base.

Adhere a panel of Neutral Noel DSP in the center of the Scalloped die cut. Adhere a panel of Neutral Noel DSP to the left side of the card front.

Stamp the branch and pinecone images from the Noel Tidings stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the same panel. Cut the images out using the Noel Tidings Dies.

Stamp the sentiment from Noel Tidings stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Stamp the pine bough image from Noel Tidings stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the top of the panel. Stamp the pinecone image from Noel Tidings stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on the pine bough. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Mossy Meadow mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.
Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the pine bough image from the Noel Tidings stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front.

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. How is your weekend going? It’s cold here in NJ, we dropped to 32 last night, luckily, I pulled whatever tomatoes, pepper and eggplants I had left on my plants. They still need a little ripening time, so I have them all on my windowsill. It’s only going up to the low 50’s today and I wish I could stay inside all day, but unfortunately, I have to go into work for a couple hours to cover one of my cashiers.
I have a super quick and easy CAS card for you today using mainly DSP and only a little stamping. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Noel Tidings Stamp Set and Creative Celebrations 6 x 6 Mix & Match Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.
Adhere a panel of Creative Celebrations DSP to a Peaceful Pine card base.
Stamp the sentiment from Noel Tidings stamp set in Versamerk Ink in the center of the wreath from a panel of Creative Celebrations DSP. Sprinkle the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Adhere the panel to a Peaceful Pine mat.
Adhere the layered panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Gold Dots to the card front.
Stamp the sentiments from Noel Tidings stamp set in Peaceful Pine Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a panel of Creative Celebrations DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Peaceful Pine card base.
Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the pine bough image from Noel Tidings stamp set in Peaceful Pine Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Creative Celebrations DSP to the envelope flap.
