The Sweet Little Stockings Bundle in the Holiday Mini Catalog is just too cute for words! Today’s card only shows the stockings, but there are also some sweet dogs and cats in this bundle ~ you’ll see them next time!!
The Basic White card base is topped with a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper. A 1/2″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Soft Succulent cardstock was adhered to the card about an inch down from the top. This forms the look of a mantle 🙂 Then a 1/4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock was trimmed narrowly to look like snow, and adhered to the Soft Succulent with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to look like there is snow on the mantle.
This bundle is so perfect for Christmas cards! I’m going to be using it alot!!
The stockings were stamped on Real Red and Shaded Spruce cardstock with Versamark Ink, then dusted with White Embossing Powder and heated with a Heat Gun. They were adhered under the mantle with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment adds the final touch to this cute Christmas card,

Today’s card is a fun fancy-fold card that uses the fabulous Peaceful Deer Bundle with the coordinating Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper (free! free!). My friend and demonstrator, Robin Daus, created this card, and she has graciously allowed me to CASE it!
There is so much that you can do with these three items: the Peaceful Deer Stamp Set, the Deer Builder Punch, and the Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper (free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration).
Here is a replay of my Facebook Live showing you exactly how to create this card:
Below you see the card fully open. A piece of Basic White cardstock was cut with the Ornate Frames Dies and adhered on the left inside of the card. The pretty ornate frame peeks out from behind the front of the card, adding another layer to the card front.
I love to decorate my envelope flaps, especially for Christmas cards. It’s easy to do as you just run some adhesive around the edge of the flap and then lay a piece of cardstock over the flap and trim along the flap edge. You can add a thin 1/4″ strip of contrasting paper along the top edge of the flap. Adhere with Multipurpose Glue, and trim the edges.

Did you know that you can color the fabulous Sale-a-Bration Be Dazzling Paper? You can! And it adds so much to any card. Today I have a video tutorial for you, showing you how to color this paper, AND use it in a fabulous Christmas card!
The Be Dazzling Specialty Paper is absolutely FREE!! You can only get this paper free with a $50 order through my online store. What’s better than that? That’s what I love about Sale-a-Bration: free – free- free! Right now Sale-a-Bration lasts during August and September.
The colored Be Dazzling paper is combined with the Perfectly Plaid stamp set and the Pine Tree Punch to make a fun card with bling! Here’s a video tutorial showing you how to make this card:
The designer series paper you see here, both in the background, and the gingham trees, is the Pansy Petals paper. You wouldn’t expect that, but the back side of the papers are fabulous! Who doesn’t love gingham??
The sentiment is stamped on Pale Papaya cardstock using Evening Evergreen ink, and then cut with the Tailor Made Tag Dies. A pretty bow is tied on the tag using Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon.
Sale-a-Bration is a wonderful sale. Not only can you choose the Be Dazzling Specialty Paper, there are other fabulous items for you to choose! For a $50+ order, here are the items you can choose free:

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…this card makes me start singing that song 🙂 I’m in love with the two cloche stamp sets just released by Stampin’ Up! Today’s card uses the Classic Cloche set. It has fun holiday sentiments, and a cloche that can stand alone or be filled with winter scenes.
For this card I stamped the cloche in Crumb Cake ink and colored the inside with a Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend. Then I added some pieces cut with the coordinating dies: the trees, the little hills of snow, and the base of the cloche.
On top of the Basic White card base is a Crumb Cake plaid panel from the FREE Sale-a-Bration Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper. (Love this paper!) On the left side is a 1/4″ strip of the fabulous Be Dazzling Paper, also FREE during Sale-a-Bration. This strip adds some glitter and glam to the card!
On the top of the cloche is a pretty bow tied with the Soft Succulent Open-Weave Ribbon. The ribbon has been cut in half lengthwise. This gives you a thinner piece of ribbon to play with 🙂
This is a sweet winter scene with a modern plaid and dazzling background. I think it would be a wonderful holiday card to send to your friends

The new Angels of Peace stamp set is the prettiest stamp set in the new catalog! It’s gorgeous. The angels are so well drawn by the artist. The set has two angels, this adult angel, and a child angel that I will show you soon.Â
Here I stamped the angel in Crumb Cake ink and colored her in with our Watercolor Pencils. Then I added the tiniest bit of water with a Water Painter. This blended the colors just enough to remove most of the pencil lines. For the wings, I covered them with a thin layer of Multipurpose Glue and gold Gilded Leafing.Â
The angel was fussy cut with Paper Snips and adhered to a piece of Basic Black cardstock using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A piece of Gold Shimmer Ribbon pulls it all together.
If you like angels, this is a stamp set you will love! Be sure to put it on your wish list for August 3rd when the new holiday Mini Catalog goes live!

Sparkly Poinsettia!
Poinsettias are the Christmas flower, and today’s card features this beautiful flower with some sparkle! The Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set and Dies have been carried over from last year ~ yippee!
I’ve added a few sneak peeks to today’s card. You know that the July-December Holiday Mini Catalog goes live on August 3rd, and my goal is to show you lots of sneak peeks before that date 🙂 The leaves behind the flower are die cut from the brand NEW Sale-a-Bration FREE Be Dazzling Specialty Paper. Oh my goodness, do I love this sparkly paper!! I used the Forever Flourishing Dies to cut two groups of dazzling leaves!! I also used this dazzling paper to die cut the center of the poinsettia.
Below is a replay of last Friday’s Facebook Live where I created this card. It will show you step-by-step how to make it.
The card base is Evening Evergreen cardstock, and then I’ve adhered a panel of the BRAND NEW Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper from the new catalog. The design of this paper looks like flying evergreen branches! 🙂
A large scalloped circle of Evening Evergreen cardstock is then adhered on the lower left side of the card. The leaves and the poinsettia are adhered to the circle over a doubled piece of Gold Shimmer Ribbon. The sentiment was then stamped on Basic White cardstock using Real Red ink, and adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I love this card because it’s traditional with a touch of modern, and it has two wonderful new products that add “bling”!
