Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive Christmas Cards

Good Morning! One of the fun new items in the new Mini Catalog is the Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive specialty designer series paper. This is a fun Christmas themed pack of paper with three sheets of double sided DSP and three sheets of holiday cut outs. I have combined it with the Greetings of the Season bundle, and card stock, dies and embellishments from my stash to make three quick Christmas Cards. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

The first card uses the Night of Navy gingham paper as the background – I adhered it to a Night of Navy mat and popped it onto a Thick Basic White card base. I cut the large tag from the Greetings of the Season dies, looped Real Red baker’s twine through the hold and adhered it to the card. I adhered the presents and teddy bear cut outs from the Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive DSP to the tag. I stamped the sentiments from the Greetings of the Season stamp set using Night of Navy ink and cut it out with the banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. Before adhering the label to the card, I adhered some glittered night of Navy ribbon to the back and finished the front with peppermint drops.

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set in Real Red on Basic White, adhered a holly cut out from the Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive DSP to the corner along with some gingham trim. I adhered the panel to a Night of Navy mat before adhering it to the inside of the card.

For the second card, I used the pretty poinsettia cut outs from the Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive DSP pack. I embossed a Real Red panel with the pretty Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a Thick Basic White card base. I adhered the large poinsettias to the card and stamped the sentiment using Garden Green on a strip of Basic White. I trimmed the end and adhered it to the card. I made a gold bow and adhered it with the small poinsettia cut out on top. I finished the card with lots of gold faceted gems.

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set in Garden Green on Basic White. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card and adhered a Real Red ribbon cut out from the Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive DSP pack to the corner

For the last card today, I used the ornament panel from the Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive DSP pack. I simply adhered it to a Real Red mat before adhering it to a Basic Beige card base. I used gold embossing for the sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set and cut it out with the small banner die from the Nested essentials dies. I adhered a little gold bow to the top and adhered faceted gold gems to the label and each ornament.

For the inside of this card, I stamped the sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set using Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. I decorated the bottom with a pine sprig and ornament cutouts from the Stampin’ Up! A Little Bit Festive DSP pack before adhering it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up A Little Bit Festive cut outs do coordinate with the Holiday ephemera packs, so you can use them together. I stamped all my sentiments, but you could also use the sentiments from the Joyful Sayings ephemera pack (item 164109, $9.50) and save even more time. The full sheet DSP patterns are pretty and the cut outs are great for cards like these, tags and scrapbooking, so it’s a versatile pack!
