Stampin' Up! Happiest Christmas Wishes

If you are following me every day, this is my 7th card for another church shut in. It's been great using the cut, stack and shuffle technique to do streamline assembly for the card front. The individualization was a little more time consuming.

Saturdays used to be cartoon days but for me it's making the 4th Christmas card for the church shut ins day. I don't think there are any cartoons worth watching these days, do you?

I created this for my late husband's brother and his wife who live in California. My sister-in-law loves moose. (I really think the plural should be mooses or meeses...lol!) I haven't seen them in umpteen years. They aren't able to travel and I have no desire to fly to California again.

Thank you for stopping by today and I can't wait to see all the creativity from the team. Be sure to check us out at CCC#98 and we hope to see your entry there!

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Wishes for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came!! We have a sketch challenge for you today and here is what I created for our hop...

 

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

I used the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder on the Basic White Cardstock as well as the strip of Moody Mauve. 

I cut two circles from the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper and one from Moody Mauve. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies for those. 

On a scrap piece of Basic White I stamped the sentiment from the Sentimental Wishes Stamp Set (unfortunately the set was discontinued 12/4/24 and I had already created my card so you can use any sentiment you would like!) in Moody Mauve Ink. I cut it out with a smaller die from the Stylish Shapes. Everything was adhered with liquid glue. 

Unfortunately, the embellishments did not get moved to my "no longer available" bin but you can always use these...

2023–2025 IN COLOR™ OPAQUE SPARKLE DOTS

For the inside...

I stamped the image in Lost Lagoon Ink and the sentiment in Moody Mauve. Both are from the Shepherd's Care Stamp Set. I adhered a strip of the DSP and the card was fini!

Stampin' Up! Shepherd's Care Christmas Card

Good Monday morning, peeps. I think the Shepherd's Care Stamp Set is my favorite Christmas stamp set this year. I might be re-working the design but we'll see. For now, here it is...

My card base is Boho Blue. The shepherd is stamped in Pebbled Path, the city of Bethlehem in the distance is stamped in Copper Clay, as is the sentiment, and the star is stamped in Wild Wheat. I am trying to use up the 2023-2025 In Colors before they retire in April. I used the retired Subtle 3D EF to give the art panel some texture.

For the inside...

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our monthly Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop.

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter Christmas Cards

Good Wednesday morning, peeps. Christmas is soon approaching and I have a number of cards I need and wanted to create. Here's my first one...

The rest are all the same with the exception of color...

I don't usually do cards in mass production but this one lends itself to just that. I have my friend and upline, Mary Deatherage, to thank. You can see her create it here or the original by Mary Knabe. Thus, I will not be giving instructions or measurements here! (I did, however, cut my inside smaller width wise.) I didn't put a sentiment on the outside as I wanted to keep it simple and quick, nor did I put any embellishments on because I wanted them to be easily mailed. The DSP did all the work for me!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you'll return tomorrow for our Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop.
