Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Star Christmas Card

Good Morning! I still need to make more Christmas cards, so I pulled out the cute Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Star bundle to make one with Santa and Mrs. Clause. They’re so cute and look so festive with the Take A Bow 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Take A Bow designer series paper to the front of a Real Red Card base. I adhered another panel to a Real Red mat and adhered it to the card. I wanted to keep the card flat for safe mailing, so I only used dimensionals for Santa and Mrs. Claus.

I stamped Santa and Mrs. Claus from the Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Star stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and colored them with Stampin’ Blends. I used Real Red, light Basic Black, dark Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green for their clothes. I used the Natural Tones (Medium Light and Light) Stampin’ Blends for their faces, 008 for their faces and hands and 010 for Mrs. Claus’ cheeks and light Pecan Pie for her hair. I punched them out with the Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Star punch and adhered them to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Star stamp set using Real Red ink on a strip of Basic White. I punched the ends with the scalloped side of the the Happy Labels Pick A Punch and adhered the label to the card with glue dots. I love how you can easily get decorative ends for your sentiment labels with this punch – and for any length sentiment! I looped a length of Real Red Baker’s Twine around the top and tied a bow.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Star stamp set using Real Red ink on Basic White and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The star Santa and Mrs. Claus are the cutest! And the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Star bundle are perfect for a lighthearted, fun and joyful Christmas card. And the sweet stamp set is on the Last Chance Products list on Sale!

Stampin’ Up! is making some changes to their product retirement process. They are introducing a new Last Chance Products category in the Online Store today that will include retiring products from the current 2024 September-December Mini Catalog and Online Exclusives items that are being discontinued. The Last Chance Products category is replacing the current Clearance Rack and will be updated every two months.

Last Chance Products include retiring products from both catalogs and online releases, excluding Paper Pumpkin.
Last Chance Products are available while supplies last and will be discontinued when they sell out. Items will be automatically removed from the category and the online store when they are discontinued.
Discounts vary and are subject to change. Also, depending on inventory, these products may or may not have discounts.
The Last Chance Products category will be updated every other month. Updates happen at the beginning of the month and may include additional products in the category and any adjustments to product discounts.

This change aligns with Stampin’ Up!’s product release strategy of new Online Exclusives every two months and unifies the retirement process for Online Exclusive and Catalog products. The goal is to keep product offerings fresh, trendy and exciting for Stampin’ Up! customers.
