Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes bundle is such a cute, vintage inspired bundle with gorgeous images that can be cut out with coordinating dies and wonderful sentiments in a fun font. I paired it with the pretty Christmas Wishes designer series paper to make a Joy Fold Christmas card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a floral panel of Sentimental Christmas designer series paper to the back and front flap of a Shaded Spruce card base as well as the inside flap of the Poppy Parade mini card base. I adhered the green stripe pattern to the inside flap and to the front of the mini card base. I adhered the mini card base to the inside of the main card base. I used the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes die set to cut out a stocking and bow from the Christmas Wishes DSP and adhered them to the inside flap of the main card base.

I stamped the holly spray and two sets of candles from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I colored them with Stampin’ Blends – dark Lost Lagoon, Light Old Olive, light Shaded Spruce, light Pecan Pie, dark Daffodil Delight and Poppy Parade. I cut them out with the coordinating dies. I used the Spotlight On Nature dies to cut out Poppy Parade and Basic Beige panels and adhered them to the front of the mini card. I adhered the candles, and holly bough to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the ‘Celebrate‘ part of the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes stamp set using Versamark ink. I sprinkled the sentiment with white embossing powder and heated it with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I cut it out with the Something Fancy die and adhered it to the card with glue dots. I adhered a Shaded Spruce bow with a glue dot and finished with Cherry Cobbler dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes stamp set using Poppy Parade ink on Basic White and adhered it to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes stamp set using Poppy Parade ink on Basic White and cut it out with the small Something Fancy die. I cut a Shaded Spruce panel with the large die and adhered the sentiment to it before adhering it to the inside of the mini card front flap.

I made this card live for our quarterly Inkin’ Krew team meeting. Each month, the Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators in the Inkin’ Krew have a virtual meeting and every quarter we craft live together. I haven’t done videos in a while, so I was a bit nervous showing everyone how to make the card. But it was fun! Karen Ksenzakovic and Terry Lynn Bright also made pretty cards with this bundle for everyone. Let me know if you’re interested in learning more about joining my team and participating in the Inkin Krew activities.

I love that the Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes dies can also cut images from the Christmas Wishes DSP. These vintage designs are reminiscent of the best of Christmases long ago.
