It’s time to lift up our cups and celebrate the Cup of Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set in the Stampin’ Up! 2019 Holiday Catalog! The celebration is for the patent pending Reversibles stamp set. It includes specialized photopolymer stamps that allow you to stamp with both sides of the stamp for greater versatility. The Cup of Christmas stamp set and coordinating Cup of Cheer Dies are available separately or for a savings of 10% can be purchased in the Cup of Christmas bundle. The Cup of Christmas Stamp set includes 15 photopolymer stamps but with the reversible stamps, it’s like having two extra stamps added. There are 13 dies including mugs, candy canes, holly and more in the set of Cup of Cheer dies.
In the video below, Brian showcases the new Cup of Christmas photopolymer stamp technology.
Having recently received the stamps, I can attest that it’s wonderful to be able to stamp reverse images. It opens the door to greater creativity. I’ll be sharing projects using the Cup of Cheer Bundle soon.
Spread tidings of comfort and joy and a cup of cheer to all your friends and family this season with the Cup of Christmas Stamp Set and Cup of Cheer Dies.

Yay! The Hallmark Christmas in July movies kickoff this Friday so I’m celebrating with another Christmas in July project. Since the heat definitely makes it the dog days of summer, it’s wishful thinking that thoughts of Christmas in July will make it seem cooler (yes, wishful thinking!) Today’s project again uses the Lots of Cheer Stamp Set. Since my first Christmas in July project was a card, I decided on a small gift packaging project. An oval label stamped with the Lots of Cheer snowman packages embellishes the Kraft Pillow Box. The pillow boxes make great gift packaging. They are 5″ x 3″ and a package contains 10 boxes to use for gifts and goodies.
Below are the steps to create this quick and simple project.
Use Real Red Classic Ink Pad and a Sponge Brayer to color the Kraft pillow box. TIP: take the ink pad and pat it directly onto the pillow box. Then use the sponge brayer to evenly distribute the ink on the pillow box. Allow the ink to dry on the pillow box.
While the pillow box dries, make the label. Stamp the stack of presents onto a 3-1/2″ x 3″ piece of Whisper White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Cut the shape using the large oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies.
Color the stamped image with Stampin’ Blends. The light Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blend adds a hint of color along the outline edges of the presents. Additional Stampin’ Blends colors on the project includes Call Me Clover (light & dark), Daffodil Delight (light & dark), Real Red (light & dark), Smoky Slate (light & dark) and Pumpkin Pie (dark). If desired, use the Color Lifter to lighten the center area of the hat.
With the Layering Ovals Dies, cut an oval from a 4″ x 3-1/2″ piece of Call Me Clover cardstock. Layer the stamped image onto the oval using Snail Adhesive.
Use the Banner Triple Punch to cut an angles tail on a 1″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Then, stamp the sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Attach to the back of the oval label using Snail Adhesive.
Open pillow box and add gift or treats. Close ends and wrap a piece of Call Me Clover 1/8″ grosgrain ribbon around the box. TIP: wrap so that the ends meet under where the label is to be placed. Use Snail Adhesive to hold the attach the end of the ribbon to the pillow box.
Add the oval label to the box with Stampin’ Dimensionals. TIP: Due to the curvature of the box, it’s best to add the dimensionals to the center area of the box and add the label to the dimensionals versus adding the dimensionals directly to label before adding to the pillow box.
Tie a bow with the ribbon and add to top with mini-glue dot.

The Hallmark Channel recently released the dates for the start of their Christmas in July holiday movies. One of my favorite things during the holidays is watching the Hallmark Christmas movies and this July, I plan to get an early start by watching some of the Hallmark Christmas in July movies. So in honor, I am celebrating Christmas in July with Lots of Cheer. The Lots of Cheer is a new holiday stamp set released in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog (page 69). What better way to forget the warm, muggy weather than to watch Christmas movies on Hallmark in July! Plus, you can get a head start on your holiday cards and ease the last minute rush in December.
Card Details:
Create card base using Whisper White Thick cardstock ( 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, score & fold at 4-1/4″). Add a layer of 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Real Red Designer Series Paper (from the 6″ x 6″ Regals Designer Series Paper pack).
Stamp the stack of presents onto a 3-1/2″ x 3″ piece of Whisper White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Cut the shape using the 3rd largest Stitched Nested Labels die.
Color the stamped image with Stampin’ Blends. The light Balmy Blue stampin’ blend adds a hint of color along the outline edges of the presents. Additional Stampin’ Blends colors on the project includes Call Me Clover (light & dark), Daffodil Delight (light & dark), Real Red (light & dark), Smoky Slate (light & dark) and Pumpkin Pie (dark). If desired, use the Color Lifter to lighten the center area of the hat.
Use the 2nd largest Stitched Nested Labels die to cut the Call Me Clover cardstock. Layer the image piece on top and adhere with snail adhesive.
With Call Me Clover Classic Stamp pad, stamp the sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings onto a small scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Cut using the Classic Label Punch. If desired, use the punch to cut one end to create a “v” pennant tail as seen in the card photo.
Attach sentiment label to the back of the Call Me Clover layer. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach to the card base.
Tie a double bow using 2 strands of Whisper White Baker’s Twine. Attach to card with mini-glue dot. Complete embellishing by placing a red rhinestone on the knot of the bow.
Don’t delay, order the Lots of Cheer stamp set and check the Hallmark Channel for Christmas in July showtimes so you can get in the holiday spirit with me! Throughout July, I’ll be adding a few more Christmas projects so make sure you’re registered to receive my posts.
Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Create this perfect Christmas Gift Bag for the holidays this year. Fill it with your goodies or small gifts and surprise that special someone. It’s so much fun to create personal gift bags during the holidays. I love creating personal hand-made packaging in addition to cards and gifts. It’s a sure sign of joy and gift giving during the holiday season. My heart is full of love for crafting. Let them know how much you care.
You can find Santa’s Bags on page 19 of the Holiday Catalog. They are perfect for crafting. First of all, this one is decorated using the tree stamp from Timeless Tidings and Garden Green ink (you can also use any dark green ink that you have on hand). Before stamping the bag, cut a piece of cardstock to insert inside of the bag to prevent ink bleed through and to provide better stamping surface.
To create the tag, I used the Better Together stamp set in the Annual Catalog and Cherry Cobbler ink for the greeting. I also used Garden Green ink for the tree. Stamp off the image onto a different paper and then stamp over the sentiment. Also, sponge the label edge with the Garden Green. Finally, use Cherry Cobbler twine from the Festive Farmhouse Cotton Twine Trio and wrap around the bag drawstring. The punches that were used are the Everyday Label & 1/8″ handheld.
All of these products are available in my online store. I know you will enjoy having this Christmas gift bag option for any last minute gift giving this holiday season. I always enjoy the faces of everyone that receives my special holiday packaging.
Since Christmas will soon be here, I wanted to share this traditional holiday tag with you. You can create this Into the Woods Gift Tag to use on a gift bag or wrapped package. It’s perfect for all your holiday needs and can come together quickly. I love the fir tree in the Winter Woods stamp set and with the coordinating In The Woods Framelits Dies, it creates a dimensional effect. You can also get these products in a bundle and save 10%.
First of all, just stamp two trees and use the large tree and smaller tree Dies to cut them out. With the tip of your Bone Folder, lift the tree boughs on the smaller cut piece and then attach to the larger tree with Mini Dimensionals. Lastly, add that “little extra” touch, and use the Shimmery White Embossing Paste on the top tree layer boughs. It’s great to see the effect on the tag.
The tag base is created by cutting two layering ovals using Old Olive and Whisper White cardstocks. Stamp the greeting using Cherry Cobbler Classic Stampin’ pad and add some gems around the base. Also, add the various ribbons to complete the traditional Christmas look. I hope these will help you to complete your final packaging and preparations as we close in on Christmas.
You can get all these items from my online store.
