Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics Wreath Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics and Joy of Noel bundles have so many designs that work well together. For today’s Christmas card I used the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics stamp set with the die from the Joy of Noel dies and the gorgeous Joyful specialty 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 Joyful specialty designer series paper to the front of a Cherry Cobbler card base. I embossed a Cherry Cobbler strip with the Quatrefoil embossing folder and adhered it next to the pretty DSP. I adhered a thin strip of More Dazzle specialty paper, covering the seam.

I cut five pine sprigs from the gold wood print Joyful specialty DSP. I adhered them together with glue dots to make a wreath. I adhered the wreath to the card front with more glue dots.

I made a bow with Real Red ribbon and adhered it to the top of the wreath with a glue dot and used glue dots to adhere red rhinestones around the wreath.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

This was such a simple card – the only thing that was tricky was to get the wreath right. Using glue dots to assemble the wreath first worked well for me since there was some give in adjusting the sprig angles to get a good circle before adhering it to the card front. And the simple Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics sentiment on the inside is the perfect finish to the glamorous elegance of this card.

Stampin’ Up! Joy Of Noel for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Joy Of Noel bundle with the beautiful Joy of Christmas designer series paper for a gate fold Christmas card. And I also used the pretty holiday greenery frame from the Christmas Classics dies to really make it fancy. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge this week and thanks to the pretty designer series paper, I managed to get all the colors in my card!

I adhered the floral panels of Joy of Christmas designer series paper to Shaded Spruce mats and adhered them to the two front flaps of a Real Red gatefold card base. I cut a mottled Shaded Spruce panel of the DSP with the pretty square greenery frame from the Christmas Classics dies. I cut a red plaid panel of the DSP with the small square die and adhered them together with liquid glue.

I stamped the NOEL letters from the Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink on Basic White. I cut the letters out with the coordinating die and adhered them to the DSP frame with liquid glue. I applied liquid glue to the back left side of the frame and adhered it to the card front, so that it sticks only to the left flap of the card front.

I stamped the Joyous sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel stamp set in Versamark ink and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess powder and heated it with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I fussy cut around the letters with my paper snips and popped it on the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card front with rhinestone gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped part of the small spray from the Stampin’ Up! Joy Of Noel stamp set in the corner using Pebbled Path ink and colored it with Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card. I also adhered red plaid panels of Joy of Christmas DSP to the inside of the front flaps.

The Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel bundle has beautiful greenery stamps and dies and the NOEL stamp is just gorgeous! It goes so well with the Christmas Classics bundle and is perfect with the Joy of Christmas designer series paper for a beautiful traditional Christmas card.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics Christmas Card

Good Morning! Here’s another Christmas card made with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics bundle and the pretty Joy of Christmas designer series paper. This card adds lots of gold touches from the ribbon, More Dazzle & Joyful specialty papers. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a panel of Garden Green with the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the right side of a Real Red mat. I adhered a strip of Joy of Christmas designer series paper to the left side and a thin strip of More Dazzle specialty paper in the middle. I popped the panel to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with dimensionals.

I used the pine bough die from the Joy of Noel dies to cut three boughs from the gold woodgrain paper from the Joyful specialty paper pack and adhered them to the card front with glue dots. I stamped two pine boughs from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics stamp set in Versamark ink on Garden Green card stock. I sprinkled them with gold embossing powder and heated it with my heat tool until the powder was bright and shiny. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the card with glue dots.

Iused the smaller holly die from the Magical Meadow dies to cut two holly heaves from Basic White and adhered them to the card front with glue dots. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics stamp set in Versamark ink on Basic Black and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I fussy cut the sentiment with my paper snips. I applied Stampin’ Seal to the back of the sentiment and wrapped it with gold trim, simulating a bow. I adhered the sentiment to the card with dimensionals and glue dots and finished with large red rhinestones.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the holly leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics stamp set in Garden Green ink on Basic White. I stamped the Merry in Memento Tuxedo Black and the Christmas in Real Red. I adhered the panel to a Real Red mat before adhering it to the inside of the card.

The sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics are full of Christmas warmth and are perfect with the traditional colors of the Joy of Christmas designer series paper. The pine boughs in are pretty, both stamped and die cut and they work so well together!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics Seasons Greetings Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics bundle has wonderful Christmas sentiments with gorgeous foliage die cut label frames. I used one of the frames and sentiments with the pretty Joy of Christmas designer series paper for a festive Seasons Greetings Christmas card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I cut a panel of More Dazzle specialty paper with the two open leaf dies from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics dies. I cut the holly leaf twice from a Shaded Spruce panel of Joy of Christmas designer series paper. I cut the large foliage label from Garden Green and the berries from Real Red. I trimmed the berries and adhered them to the foliage on the label.

I stamped the Seasons Greetings sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics stamp set in Real Red ink on Basic White and cut it out with the long label die. I adhered the label to the foliage label with liquid glue. I embossed a Garden Green panel with the pretty Distressed Tile embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Garden Green card base. I adhered a panel of Joy of Christmas designer series paper to a Real Red mat and and adhered it to the card front.

I adhered die cut sprigs and holly leaves to the card with liquid glue and popped the layered label on top with dimensionals. I used glue dots to adhere a real Red bow and red rhinestones to finish the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the holly leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics stamp set in Garden Green ink on Basic White. I stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in Real Red ink and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The gorgeous label dies from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics bundle really make your handmade Christmas cards stunning! Christmas is coming up fast, so I need to get to work to finish in time.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics Sneak Peek

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics bundle is one of the pretty new Christmas sets from the upcoming September-December 2023 Mini Catalog that goes live on September 6, 2023. The photopolymer stamp set is full of wonderful Christmas greetings and the dies are wonderful for creating fancy foliage filled labels. I paired it with the beautiful new Joy of Christmas designer series paper for a simple Christmas card. You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Joy of Christmas designer series paper to a Real Red mat and adhered it to the front of a Garden Green card base. I cut a Shaded Spruce panel of Joy of Christmas DSP with the large square foliage die from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics die.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics stamp set in Real Red ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the square label die and adhered it to the front of the large foliage die cut with liquid glue and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I decorated the front with three Poppy Parade iridescent discs (available Sept 6) and a Real Red bow. So simple and quick!! I love how the gorgeous DSP contrasts with the fancy die cuts!

For the inside of the card, I stamped the pine branch from the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink twice (without reinking) on a Basic White panel. stamped the berries in Real Red ink along with the sentiment . I trimmed the bottom with a strip of the DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Here is the pretty Stampin’ Up! Christmas Classics bundle – the sentiments are perfect to mix-n-match and I love the musical themes!

And here is the beautiful Joy of Christmas designer series paper. Oops – my music is upside down!

These beautiful products will be available in just a few weeks when the new Sept-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog goes live.
