Christmas Card Quest?

Spruced Up Bundle Step-by-Step

This Holiday Season Card (4-1/4" x 5-1/2")  Are you on a quest to make a flurry of festive, handmade cards and tags this Christmas season? If so, the Spruced Up Bundle could be your best friend with its boldly-imagined tree and ornament stamps and unique outline dies—ready to help you make merry with Christmas paper crafting before the season rush! We show you how to go from casual to fancy with our samples—but what can you do with this card to make it yours? CASUAL To create the casual card, stamp and die cut the ornaments. Cut the Gold 3/8" (1 cm) Shimmer Ribbon and layer it behind the sentiment. Add the 3-1/4" x 5-1/2" (8.3 x 14 cm) Garden Green Cardstock layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and adhere a 1" (2.5 cm) strip of Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper on the right side of the card. Die cut the pine bough from Garden Green Cardstock using the Decorated Pine Dies and adhere it to the card. AVID For this version, die cut the Decorated Pine piece in Garden Green Cardstock and use the same color ink with a Sponge Dauber to achieve a darker color. Stamp the sentiment and die cut with the Stylish Shape Dies banner. Cut the ribbon in half, make a bow, and layer it behind the sentiment label with Stampin’ SEAL. ARTFULLY AVID Emboss the 3-1/4" x 5-1/2" (8.3 x 14 cm) Garden Green Cardstock layer with the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. Add Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics in white to the ends of the pine bough die cut (after adding Garden Green ink with a Sponge Dauber). Take the Gold 3/8" (1 cm) Shimmer Ribbon apart to use the gold threads on it and add them with Stampin’ SEAL behind the sentiment label.

Celebrate The Everyday Heros In Your Life

The Everyday Heroes campaign focuses on the people who make small differences that touch our lives. These are the people who hold open a door, pay it forward in a fast-food line, or simply smile and say hello. We honor and celebrate the everyday heroes who go out of their way to show how much they care about others.

This campaign is a way to appreciate the little acts of kindness that make a world of difference.

Throughout May and June 2022, we are celebrating the people in our lives who do little things and go out of their way to make a difference – Everyday Heroes.

At Stampin’ Up! we love saying thank you with something handmade – like a simple thank you card or tag that could be added to a gift.

Card Recipe: 1. Score and fold an 8.5” x 11” piece of cardstock at 4.25” Rotate and cut in half at 5.5” This is the card base.

2. Cut a piece of Designer Series Paper (12”x12”) in half and half again. This makes four pieces of paper that measure 3”x4” each. 3. Cut two pieces of basic white cardstock to 2.75” x 3.75”

4. Using the Hollyhocks Stamp Set a. Flirty Flamingo Ink Pad – Flower stamp b. Daffodil Delight Ink Pad – Flower Centers Stamp c. Granny Apple Green Ink Pad* – Leaves stamp *The host calls the Granny Apple Green Ink Pad Candy Apple Green, but we all know better...It's really Granny Apple Green as you can read in the captions. (Sorry Paul). d. Starry Sky Ink Pad – Sentiment stamps

5. Decorative Circle Punch – Cut out the Sentiment

6. Use Stampin’ Seal on the paper

7. Use Dimensionals on the cut-out sentiment

Simple Stamping Tips

As we get closer to the Christmas season, chances are you’re already starting to think about all the cards you’ll make for family and friends. Creating so many cards can seem overwhelming, but we have a few ideas that can make everyone’s card-sending season merry and bright.

Some of the first Christmas trees were decorated with nothing but candles, which may seem minimal, but those candles brought joy and light to any home. Just like those early Christmas trees, not every project needs hundreds of embellishments to make it beautiful. For example, take a look at our Friends Like You card, where a Gray Granite 1/4" (6.4 mm) Shimmer Ribbon creates a simple touch of elegance.

As you can see in our Een sprankelend en liefdevol nieuwjaar card, there’s an easy trick to give your crafts a little bit more texture. Simply use the scoring blade on your Paper Trimmer to make diagonal lines on a piece of Basic White Cardstock. It’s easy to do and adds more substance to any project.

And when the season gets busy, try the technique from the Que ce Noël card. In this card, we used the Knit Together Background Stamp from the July–December 2021 Mini Catalog, then cut the image into four pieces to get four cards. It’s so easy! Do that enough times and you’ll have so many cards you’ll have to make more friends!
