Earlier this week, Stampin’ Up! released a brand-new offerings of Online Exclusives. See them online here. Or click this link to view a flyer. I ordered the Jar of Joy Photopolymer Stamp Set first! I love playing with new paper crafting goodies, and I created a host of fun Christmas cards, just in time for Christmas in July.
In a previous post, I shared a host of holiday card examples featuring the Jar of Joy stamp set and the punch. I played with more traditional Christmas colors for those. See the post here.
For today’s card, however, I chose a more non-traditional approach. I use the colors of Bubble Bath, Petunia Pop, and Smoky Slate. Are you a traditionalist with a lean toward red and green? Or do you prefer non-traditional Christmas colors?

Smoky Slate card stock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4

Embellish with the Real Red & White Peppermints. (Yes, these are still available in Stampin’ Up!’s online store. Remember when Stampin’ Up! introduced these last year? We couldn’t keep them in stock! I recommend you get them now to have them on hand for your holiday crafting.)
Real Red & White Baker’s Twine
See below for a few more cards I created with these products. Enjoy!
This next card uses the same layout as the featured card. I found the patterned paper in the Reindeer Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. And, look at all those peppermints.
For this next card, I used just the snowman image (without the jar) and the sentiment from the Choose Happy Stamp Set, Find the patterned paper in the Reindeer Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit.
For this next card, I tried some heat embossing. The Real Red background piece gets its texture from the Pattern of Friendship Die.
This next and final card features a sneak peek of products available in Stampin’ Up!’s September-December Mini Catalog. I love the Secret Sea glimmer paper and the shimmery ribbon and gems.
