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! Brightest Glow Christmas Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow cling stamp set has some of the prettiest Christmas greetings and I used it with some of the pretty new Holiday papers for a simple Christmas card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a sketch challenge this week:

I embossed a Basic White panel with the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Real Red mat. I adhered the layered embossed panel to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with dimensionals.

I trimmed the bottom of a strip of Joyful Specialty DSP, Joy Of Christmas DSP and More Dazzle specialty paper with my paper snips to make fishtail banners. I adhered the banners to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Versamark ink on Basic White. I sprinkled it with gold embossing powder and shook off the excess. I heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I cut it out with the pretty circle die from the Labels Aglow dies. I wrapped gold twine around the back and adhered the label to the card with dimensionals. I adhered holly leaf sequins and a gem to the label with glue dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Real Red ink on Basic White. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Joy of Christmas DSP and adhered the panel to a Real Red mat before adhering it to the inside of the card.

The Merry Melody embossing folder is perfect for Christmas cards and pretty Christmas papers are perfecty for this week’s card sketch. All it needs is a pretty sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set!

Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow and Joy Of Noel Christmas Card

Good Morning! Today’s card is a simple Christmas card made with the pretty sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow cling stamp set. I paired it with the beautiful Joy of Christmas designer series paper and and I used one of the pretty images from the Joy of Noel stamp set to decorate the inside. You can find the 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 the front of a Real Red panel with liquid glue. I wrapped the layered panel with Real Red ribbon and made a bow and adhered the panel to the front of a Garden Green card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the beautiful sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Real red ink on Basic White. I cut it out with the pretty Labels Aglow die and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

I decorated the label with a rhinestone and holly leaves from the Loose Holly Gems and Sequins, adhered with glue dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set in Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. Rather than DSP, I stamped the image from the Joy Of Noel stamp set in stamped off Pebble Path ink in the bottom corner. I colored the image in Granny Apple Green, Garden Green and Real Red inks using a Blender Pen. I adhered the panel to a Real Red mat before adhering it to the inside of the card.

This was so simple, but the beautiful sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Brightest Glow stamp set make it a card anyone would love to receive. And I love how well the Joy Of Noel stamped image on the inside coordinates with the pretty DSP!

Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel Sneak Peek

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel bundle has beautiful holiday greenery and sentiments and I used it with the beautiful Joy of Christmas designer series paper for a Christmas card sneak peek. These products are from the new September – December Mini catalog which will open for orders on Wednesday! Yay!! You can find the currently available products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a Shaded Spruce panel with the star embossing folder from the Basics 3D embossing folders and adhered it to the front of a Shaded Spruce card base with liquid glue. I adhered a musical panel of Joy of Christmas DSP to a Real Red mat and adhered the panel to the card front with liquid glue.

I stamped the large greenery image from the Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel photopolymer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I colored the Berries in Real Red Stampin’ Blends and the leaves in Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends. I used the Lost Lagoon blend to trace over the pine needles to add some color there and cut the image out with the coordinating die. I popped the die cut onto the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel stamp set in Versamark ink on Real Red 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 cut the label out with the long plain die from the Christmas Classics dies and looped some thin gold ribbon around the back, adhering it with glue dots. I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals and glue dots and finished the card with gold pearls.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Classics stamp set in Real Red ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the greenery from the Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the corner and colored them with Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Isn’t the greenery from the Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel stamp set pretty? It’s so easy to color with blends, but would look great in watercolor too. And I love the sentiments and can’t wait to use the large NOEL stamp! Here’s a picture of the bundle:

And here is the Christmas Classics bundle – they go so well together!

And here is the beautiful Joy of Christmas designer series paper with it’s classic Christmas Colors and patterns.

Remember that all of these new products will be available when the new Mini Catalog goes live for ordering on September 6, 2023.

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.
