Each week, I try to share what’s going on in my craft room. And, wow, it’s a list! I’m working on Christmas cards for customers and team members, my November Paper Pumpkin kit, tags, projects for class next week, and December’s birthday and thank you cards. In the mix, my sister asked me to create a “we’ve moved” card combined with a Christmas card. And, she needs 40 of them.
The card turned out so cute, I just had to share. Her card used some retired stamping products, so I re-created it with current Stampin’ Up! supplies.
Warm Welcome Christmas Card
I thought Stampin’ Up!’s brand-new Warm Welcome Bundle would make a great card announcing a new address. Stampin’ Up! released this set early for a special card-making event this fall. It’s still available in the online store. Also, you’ll find it in the upcoming January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. You can begin purchasing paper crafting products from this catalog on January 5, 2023.
This card uses a bunch of other Stampin’ Up! products, including:
Brightest Glow Dies
Festive Foils Designer Series Paper
Snowflake Vellum
Sweet Candy Canes (sentiment)
Regals 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper Assortment
Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder
Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels
Classic Matte Dots
Be sure to view the how-to video below to see exactly how this Christmas card comes together.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today! I had a lot of fun making my sister’s cards and then creating my own version.

In between the holiday preparations, people are still celebrating birthdays. I like to have birthday cards on hand so I can easily put them in the mail. This birthday card offers a versatile layout that can be created with a variety of patterned papers and stamp sets. I used Stampin’ Up!’s Go-To Greetings stamp set and Design a Daydream Designer Series Paper to complete this project. Find both of these in Stampin’ Up!’s 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.

You may have recently seen the “floating” greeting card technique while browsing Pinterest. A card shared by stamper Dr. Robin caught my eye. I followed her directions and created a Christmas card to make during a recent class. My ladies so enjoyed creating this card. I started to think. What other current products could I use to show this technique and make it my own?
Here are a few details about this handmade greeting card. Be sure to watch the how to video below to get visual instructions.
Real Red base: 11 x 4 1/4 inches, scored at 5 1/2 inches and folded in half
Soft Succulent card stock 5 1/4 x 4 embossed with the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder
Snowflake Specialty Vellum ( I used the flocked dots design) measuring 5 1/4 x 4
Adhesive Sheet measuring just under 5 1/4 x 4
Attach Adhesive Sheet to back of vellum. Die cut with Deckled Rectangle Dies.
Peel off adhesive back and layer on Soft Succulent.
Attach all to Real Red Card front.
With Stampin’ Seal +, attach little strips (2 inches by 1/2 inches) of red and white glimmer paper to two pieces of Window Sheet measuring 1 3/4 inches x 4 1/2 inches.
Die cut with candy cane dies. Be sure you have one of each candy canes that face in opposite directions.
Pop the candy canes up with dimensionals on card front.
Stamp sentiment in Real Red ink on a circle die cut from the Picture This dies.
Finish off with Red Rhinestone Jewels.

Snowflake Vellum Christmas Card
I’ve had this gorgeous Snowflake 12 x 12 Specialty Vellum sitting in my craft room for months. It’s time to use it! (Find it on page 40 of Stampin’ Up!’s July-December 2022 Mini Catalog.) For $10, you receive six sheets, two each of three designs, including iridescent foil and white flocking.
On this Christmas card, I use a piece of the Snowflake Vellum with the foil details. I’ve let the beautiful paper do most of the work. I layered it on a piece of Silver Foil and added a sentiment from the Brightest Glow Stamp Set, heat embossed with silver, and die cut with a label from the Labels Aglow Dies. In addition, I topped it off with a ribbon created with the silver elegant trim and Basic Pearls colored with Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends.
Crafting Tip
Sometimes it’s tricky adhering vellum to a card front — especially a piece this large. You have to try to hide the Glue Dots or adhesive underneath some of the front elements.
For this card, I cut a piece of Stampin’ Up!’s Adhesive Sheets to just under 5 x 3 3/4 inches (the size of the vellum layer). I adhered the sheet to the back of the vellum and then layered it on a piece of Silver Foil measuring 5 1/4 x 4 inches. The rest was easy. Just embellish the front and send!
Thanks so much for visiting my blog. Be sure to check out all the other stampers and leave a comment with the hashtag #stampitcontest.
