I’m having so much fun with my Christmas in July installments for 2022! It’s fun getting a jumpstart on making those handmade holiday cards while playing with brand-new paper crating products.
Today’s card features the Twinkling Lights Dies (found on page 32 of Stampin’ Up!’s July-December 2022 Mini Catalog), Lights Aglow 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper, and the Glimmer 12 x 12 Specialty Paper. (I just love this glimmer paper, and it’s gorgeous when die cut with the Christmas tree from the dies.)
In addition to all of the above, it’s a fun fold card: an easel card. Think of all the different stamp sets and patterned paper you could use with this design.
Here’s a side view of the easel fold.
Twinkling Lights Dies Christmas Card
Working from the top down the:
Gold Glimmer paper (I applied adhesive sheets before die cutting the tree). Add a red rhinestone!
Vanilla Glimmer paper cut with the die from Twinkling Lights Dies
Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper measures 4 3/4 inches by 3 1/2 inches
Gold Foil measures 5 inches by 3 3/4 inches
Evening Evergreen card stock is cut at 5 1/4 x 4 inches
Very Vanilla Thick Card Stock base — 11 x 4 1/2 scored at 5 1/2 inches and 2 3/4 inches
Lights Aglow DSP 3/4″ x 4 1/4″
Sentiment comes from the Sweet Candy Canes stamp set with the die cut label from the Seasonal Labels Dies. Popped up with dimensionals.
Be sure to watch the video below to see how this card goes together.

Peekaboo Treat Bags for the Fourth
I love treat bags! So, my project showcases one of Stampin’ Up!’s Peekaboo Treat Bags. These bags come in packages of 10 for $6. Find them on page 140 of Stampin’ Up!’s 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. You receive five white and five Kraft bags. The little see-through window makes it super fun to add themed treats. I filled mine with red, white, and blue taffy.
I had to be a little creative when putting these bags together. Here’s a list of what I used:
Black and White Designs 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (available in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. Begin ordering from it July 1). I used the Blending Brushes to apply Night of Navy and Real Red ink to the DSP pieces.
Stars punched with the Starlit Punch (Annual Catalog) from the Real Red & White 6 x 6 Glimmer Paper (July-December 2022 Mini Catalog).
Sentiment from Peaceful Deer (Annual Catalog)
Double Oval Punch (Annual Catalog)
Real Red 3/8″ Ruffled Real Red Ribbon
These bags are super fun and super versatile. There are lots of ways to decorate. Fill them with everything from treats to gift cards.

Today, I feature a pocket card. During a recent virtual team meeting on Zoom, I gave everyone the measurements for this sample. They gathered their stamp set, ink, and Designer Series Paper, and we created together. This was my finished product.
It’s so cute! And it makes a perfect treat holder and gift card holder!

Isn’t Stampin’ Up!’s Sweetest Cherries just the cutest? The stamp set and punch combo make it an affordable purchase, as well as easy and versatile to use. Purchase them as a bundle and save 10 percent. Find them on page 19 of Stampin’ Up!’s 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.
Today, I paired the bundle with Stampin’ Up!’s Peekaboo Treat Bags. Find these on page 140 of Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. You receive 10 treat bags (five craft and five white) for $6.00. There are so many ways to dress these up. I’m just showing you one option. I added pieces of Designer Series Paper (pieces of Old Olive from the Regals 6 x 6 Paper Assortments). But you could stamp on them and add tags and die cuts.
I can see them work for special occasions such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. But they would also work well as gift card holders and most especially sweet treats. I found a variety of fun, cherry flavored candies to put in these after decorating.
Be sure to watch the video to learn a fun technique using clear embossing powder. This technique gives the cherry a lifelike shine.

Although I’m just getting started playing with this bundle, I’m happy with this cute birthday card and coordinating treat packet. I selected the new 2022-2024 In Colors: Sweet Sorbet, Tahitian Tide, and Parakeet Party. (Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis round out this year’s new In Colors.)
I love that Stampin’ Up! offers a bunch of coordinating products to make creating easy and fun. Here are a few of the products I used to make the handmade card:
2022-2024 In Color cad stock
6 x 6 2022-2024 In Color Designer Series Paper Assortments
2022-2024 In Color 6 x 6 Glimmer Paper
Baker’s Twine Pack
Tahitian Tide ink
Stitched Rectangles Dies
Blending Brush
And, I had to include a cute treat packet made with some of the same supplies. Isn’t this super cute? I searched the grocery stores to find cherry flavored foods. The Mini Pocket Envelopes Dies make creating these a snap. Use a 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ inch piece of patterned party and cut with the die in the Stampini’ Cut & Emboss. Fold, apply some tear and tape, and it’s ready to decorate. These little holders are perfect for treats and gift cards. See this blog post for other examples using this die.
