Have you noticed that I am now in full on Christmas mode?! The past couple of weeks, I have been enjoying creating a variety of Christmas themed cards and projects. Don’t worry though, I still have some Fall theme projects to share with you before the full force of Christmas arrives after Thanksgiving. Today’s post, Brightly Gleaming Merry Christmas, is another make ‘n take card from Stamping Bingo. The card elements include the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Christmas Gleaming Bundle from the Stampin’ Up! 2019 Holiday Catalog. The elements from the Brightly Gleaming Suite are elegant and gorgeous. It is easy to create simple but beautiful projects with the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper and accompanying embellishments. That’s the case with the Brightly Gleaming Merry Christmas Card.
Card Details:
For the card base, cut Pretty Peacock cardstock at 4-1-4″ x 11″, score at 5-1/2″ and fold on score line.
The second layer is Very Vanilla cardstock, cut 4″ x 5-1/4″. To add texture, emboss with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. Attach to the card base with adhesive.
Cut a 3″ x 4-1/4″ piece of the stripe design from the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper. Using a strong adhesive, attach to the center of the Very Vanilla cardstock layer.
Then use the ornament punch to cut an ornament shape from a coordinating piece of the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper. Attach to a stitched oval cut from Very Vanilla cardstock using the Stitched Shapes Dies. Layer onto a Pretty Peacock cardstock scallop oval cut using the Layering Ovals Dies. Center onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For the sentiment, stamp the Merry Christmas from the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock using Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pad. Using paper snips, cut the around the perimeter of the sentiment. Refer to card photo for placement onto the card.
To finish the card, embellish with the sprigs from the Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements. For the final embellishment, add a bow using the Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon.
Also, don’t forget to embellish the card interior…

Happy Monday. Hope your week is off to a good beginning. Today I’m sharing the make ‘n take, A Snowman Merry Christmas, from the recent Stamping Bingo. The Snowman Season Bundle along with the coordinating Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper pair beautifully to create the card. The Snowman Season Bundle contains the Snowman Season Stamp Set and the coordinating Snowman Builder Punch. Do you notice the sparkle of the snowman on the card? It’s actually cut from the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper. I just love it when designer series paper contains images that coordinate with a punch or die.
Steps for recreating the Snowman Merry Christmas card:
Start with a standard card base of Coastal Cabana cardstock.
Cut a 5-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ piece of the striped paper from the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper.
With the snowflake stamp from the Snowman Season Stamp Set, randomly stamp snowflakes on the Designer Series Paper using Coastal Cabana Stampin’ Pad. Then, layer onto a 5-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ piece of Real Red cardstock.
Next, wrap a piece of Real Red 3/8″ Cotton Ribbon around lower portion of card and tie a knot.
Attach to the Coastal Cabana card base with adhesive.
With the Snowman Builder Punch, cut the glitter snowman from the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper. Notice also that one of the Designer Series Papers has the hat that matches with the punch. Also, punch the hat. Use a scrap of Basic Black cardstock to cut the snowman arms. Assemble the snowman using glue dots and attach to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp the Merry Christmas sentiment onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Cut the sentiment and the Coastal Cabana scalloped oval using the Layering Ovals Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the scalloped oval and attach to the card front over the Real Red ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
See how easy it is to make a card with coordinating stamps, punches and paper! Hope you will give it a try. The Snowman Season Bundle and coordinating Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper is great for Christmas. But don’t stop using it at Christmas! It’s also great for Winter Themed cards and crafts.

Happy Friday everyone! Hopefully you survived Halloween. It was a quiet evening at our house. Our neighborhood doesn’t have trick or treaters so I got cozy and enjoyed a Hallmark Christmas movie. Now, I’m definitely in the mood for Christmas! In my last post, you were able to see components of the new Christmastime Is Here Product Suite. Today my project, a beautiful Christmas Rose, uses products from the suite. The beautiful Christmas Rose is cut from the Christmastime Is Here Specialty Designer Series Paper. Best of all, no fussy cutting required as the Roses Dies match the large rose in the designer series paper. This simple card design is to highlight the Christmastime Is Here Specialty Designer Series Paper and show that you can create “wow” looking cards using just the paper, a stamped sentiment and a couple embellishments.
The Christmastime Is Here Specialty Designer Series Paper is gorgeous with gold foil accents. Be sure to place your order for your favorite products from the Christmastime Is Here product suite soon. You’ll want to use the products not just for Christmas but year round. To order this exclusive, limited-time suite, visit my store to select your products. If you prefer, email me if you need assistance placing your order. Just a reminder, don’t delay. This is only available while supplies last.
Have a great weekend! Check back on Monday for another project idea. Until then, happy crafting…

At last month’s Shoebox Swap, I was able to make this beautiful Free Skate card. The purpose of the swap was for demonstrators to make and share projects from the Holiday Catalog. We each brought all the precut materials to use for stamping and assembling our design. This allowed us to create a variety of cards in just a couple of hours . Today’s card uses the Free Skate Bundle. The bundle includes the Free Skate Cling Stamp Set and the Detailed Skate Dies. The card also showcases the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper. I would like to thank the card designer, Jamie Lavender, for the beautiful layout and product selection. Isn’t it gorgeous?
Card Details:
Card base is Pretty Peacock (8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored and folded at 4-1/4″).
For the next layer, cut a piece of Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper 5-1/4″ x 4″. Attach to the card base using Snail Adhesive.
Use the Detailed Skate Dies to cut the skate. The skate base and ties are cut from Pretty Peacock cardstock. The lacy pattern on the skate uses Whisper White cardstock and the skate blades are Gold Foil paper. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or the Fine Tip Glue Pen to attach the layers to the skate base.
Stamp the sentiment using Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pad onto a 3-1/2″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the Holly. Color the holly leaves with the Dark Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends.
Cut the sentiment piece using the Stitched Labels Dies and attach to the card base with Snail Adhesive.
Add Red Rhinestones to the berries on the holly.
Finish the card by adding the skate to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Do you love project kits? If so, you’re going to love the Christmas Countdown Project Kit by Stampin’ Up! This Christmas craft kit let’s you create your own hand-crafted advent décor. You can fill the boxes with small gifts, and let the countdown begin! The kit includes enough supplies to create 25 mini boxes and has a sturdy outer box to hold them all. The Christmas Countdown Stamp Set is used to complete the holiday themed project and is sold separately. The project colors includes Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow, Whisper White with Gold Foil to add some shine! Be sure to watch the short video below as Natalie showcases the project kit.
But wait! Though the project kit is called Christmas Countdown, it’s not just for Christmas.
Isn’t it a great idea for storing embellishments? In my craft room, numerous methods have been tried for embellishment storage. Yet, the system currently in use still does not allow me to see purchased embellishments. You know the saying – out of sight, out of mind! Which means embellishments are forgotten and thus not used enough. Therefore, I my recent order includes an extra Christmas Countdown Project Kit to use for embellishment storage. I look forward to it arriving and will share the finished project in a future blog.
Other uses include decorating the reverse side of the boxes for other holiday themes such as Easter is Coming. Or perhaps, use as a Birthday Countdown. What other uses can you think of?
Be sure to place your order for the Christmas Countdown Project Kit before it becomes Sold Out! You can order below in the Project Materials section.
