Good Morning! Today I’m sharing a fun Christmas Card in non-traditional colors made with the fun Stampin’ Up! Sending Cheer bundle and the Merry Bold & Bright 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 Merry Bold & Bright designer series paper to the front of a Melon Mambo card base with liquid glue. I used the tag die from the Merriest Trees dies to cut Blueberry Bushel and Granny Apple Green tags. I embossed the Granny Apple Green tag with the fun Christmas Tidings embossing folder and adhered a Basic White die cut tag topper to the top. I looped iridescent white ribbon through both tag holes and tied it off with Starry Sky baker’s twine.
I stamped the stocking from the Stampin’ Up! Sending Cheer photopolymer stamp set in Poppy Parade on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I cut the toe and heel from Crushed Curry and adhered it to the stocking and I cut the furry stocking cuff from Basic White and popped it on the top with dimensionals.
I adhered the stocking to the tags with glue dots and popped the tags on the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Country Wreaths stamp set in Blueberry Bushel and cut it out with the small die from the Stampin’ Up! Sending Cheer dies. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and covered the hole with a Lemon Lime Twist tinsel gem.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink on a Basic White panel. I colored the greenery with Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends and trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
Using non-traditional colors for Christmas cards is not for everyone (a pink Christmas card?), but it works with designs that are fun and festive. And the Stampin’ Up! Sending Cheer bundle is full of bold images and sentiments that capture the fun of Christmas.
