Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you are all have some plans in the works. I’ll be working all day today and I’m hoping to start the Christmas decorating process a little tomorrow. Yesterday and last night I was able to completely un-decorate my house. Those of you that know me, know that I pack everything away for the holidays from Knick Knacks to pictures and pillows. I rearrange furniture and move some out of the room to fit my Christmas decorations and tree. My house is like walking into Christmas land.

Today’s card was designed by Karen Ilsley for our retreat last weekend. It’s such a beautiful Christmas card and I couldn’t wait to make it. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Greetings of the Season Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Golden Greenery Photopolymer Stamp Set, Season of Green &Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper, Spotlight on Nature Dies, Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder, Brushed Silver & Gold Specialty Paper, Stylish Shapes Dies and 2 3/8″ Circle Punch for my card today.

Emboss a panel of Mossy Meadow using the Distressed Tile EF. Adhere the embossed panel to a Very Vanilla card base using Liquid Glue. Adhere a strip of Garden Green to the side of the embossed panel using Liquid Glue. Adhere a panel of Season of Green & Gold DSP to a Soft Sea Foam mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, cut panels of Old Olive and Mossy Meadow with the square dies. Adhere them together using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere them to the card front using Liquid Glue on the left side and Stampin’ Dimensionals on the right side. On a panel of Soft Sea Foam, stamp the sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. Using the 2 3/8″ Punch, cut a circle from a panel of Brushed Gold paper. Adhere the sentiment to the gold mat using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered sentiment to the die cut squares using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Tie a piece of the Very Vanilla 3/4″ Satin Ribbon using Gold Twisted Thread. Adhere it to the card front using a Glue Dot. Add a few gold Blooming Pearls to the card front.

On a panel of Very Vanilla, stamp the sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. Adhere a strip of Season of Green & Gold DSP to the side of the panel. Adhere the Very Vanilla panel to an Old Olive mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base.

Finish the card by decorating a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the detailed leaf image from the Golden Greenery stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the solid leaf image from the Golden Greenery stamp set in Old Olive Ink over the detailed image. Adhere a panel of Season of Green & Gold 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!!
