It’s time to prepare holiday cards and today’s project features the Joy of Noel Stamp Set from the Stampin’ Up! Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog. The Joy Of Noel Holiday card is a simple, beautiful card. Even better, the design uses the “one sheet wonder” technique! You stamp on a full sheet of cardstock and then cut to create four panels for cards. This enables you to create four cards in one quick swoop! If you’re not familiar with this stamping technique, it’s demonstrated in the assembly video below.
One quick note…If you don’t currently own this stamp set (or the Joy of Noel Bundle with the coordinating dies), order soon! The set is being retired!

Have you tried the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks yet? In this month’s All About Autumn card class, the decorative masks were used to create beautiful Abundant Beauty Sunflowers cards. There are four different masks for creating the sunflower. What’s great is that each mask is numbered so you use each in order to layer the ink colors. In addition to the numbers, there is a notch in each of the masks. This makes it easy to ensure proper alignment. In the assembly video, you’ll see how easy it is to use the masks. When designing the card, I couldn’t stop at just one! So two sunflower card samples were created using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. Splotches have been stamped onto the card on the left using a stamp from the Color and Contour Stamp Set. Which do you prefer?
Abundant Beauty Sunflowers Cards Cut Dimensions:
Pecan Pie Cardstock: 4-1/4″ x 11″ (score/fold at 5-1/2″); scrap piece for punched sentiment layer
Crumb Cake Cardstock: 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
Very Vanilla Cardstock: 2 pieces 4″ x 5-1/4″; scrap for punched sentiment layer

The Abundant Beauty Masks includes three additional decorative masks. This offers more creative options to make gorgeous card background panels.

This month the theme for card classes is Thinking of Christmas. Four cards featuring holiday theme were created using a different bundle. The Joy of Noel is one of the featured bundles. With the bundle and the Joyful Specialty Designer Series Paper, creating an elegant card is easy! The dies do the majority of the work and the designer series paper provides a gorgeous background. For the Joy of Noel Holiday card, stamping is minimal. Just stamp the word, Noel, and die cut with the coordinating dies to create the card front focal point. If you wanted, the letters could be die cut from another designer paper or cardstock making it even simpler.
If you’d like to recreate this card, the video below will guide you through the steps of creating the elegant card.

Can you believe it’s August! I know time seems to be flying by. Even though it’s August, I’m still sharing cards from the July card class featuring the Zany Zoo Bundle. This week’s card is a Zany Zoo Birthday Card. The whimsical card is appropriate for all ages but would be especially good for those hard to create preteen/teen cards. At least, for me those are the ages that challenge me when cardmaking. As in my last post featuring the Zany Zoo Bundle, the coordinating Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper is used for the characters. And since the turtle has the microphone (singing Happy Birthday), the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder creates a perfect base for the singer and his dancers. Below you’ll find cut dimensions and a video to help you recreate this fun card.
It’s A Zany Zoo Birthday Card Cut Dimensions:
Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ (score/fold at 4-1/4″ for card base)
Basic Black Cardstock: 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ (layering panel); scrap (die cut)
Basic White Cardstock: (2) 5-1/4″ x 4″ (embossing & card interior); scrap (sentiment)
Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper: fussy cutting & die cutting
Assembly Video
The fun characters on this card make me smile!
