Stampin’ Up! Merry Christmas for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! How are you doing with your Christmas cards? Here’s a simple but elegant card using the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Merry Christmas stamp and the Peaceful Garden designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a theme challenge this week:

Adhere a panel of Peaceful Garden designer series paper to a Cloud Cover glimmer paper mat and then to the front of a Cloud Cover card base with liquid glue.

Stamp the Stampin’ Up! Merry Christmas stamp on a Cloud Cover panel of Peaceful Garden DSP using Secret Sea ink and cut it out with the third largest Branching Out rectangle die. Cut a Secret Sea glimmer paper panel with the second largest Branching Out rectangle die and adhere it to the back of the label. Adhere the label to the card with liquid glue.

Cut the dove from Basic White using the Peace On Earth dies and brush it with Wink of Stella so it sparkles. Adhere it to the card with dimensionals. Finish with silver druzy gems.

For the inside, stamp the sentiment from the Bauble Blooms stamp set using Secret Sea ink on a Basic White panel. Trim the side with DSP and adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Merry Christmas stamp is an elegant companion to any gorgeous Christmas designer series paper. Touches of glimmer paper to add sparkle and shine to make your card extra special.
