Do you hate fussy cutting (cutting images by hand)? Would you rather use a coordinating die cut image? You’re in luck! Stampin’ Up! recently released six new die cut sets that coordinate with existing stamp sets in both the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog and the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. These new offerings are only available through September 30 (or while supplies last). So be sure to shop get what you want. See all of the selections offered during the Perfect Partners promotion in the online store by clicking here. Purchase the stamp set and dies as a bundle and save 10 percent.
Trimming the Tree Sample
The card featured above uses the Trimming the Tree stamp set and the brand-new coordinating Tree Trimming Dies. Find this set on page 43 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog. I think you’ll love the dies for the sentiments and the framelits for the trees.
In addition to the stamp set and new dies, I used:
Lights Aglow 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper
Festive Foils 12 x 12 Specialty Paper
Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon
Stylish Shapes Dies
Layering Circles Dies
Champagne Rhinestone Jewels
This design is so versatile. Try it with other Designer Series Papers. The panels are cut at 3 3/4 inches x 1 5/8 inches.

Coordinating card stock measures 1 /2 inches x 4, score at 1 inch — this is the tab/arm for your fun fold
Card stock measuring 3 1/4 x 3 1/4

Does it shimmer, glimmer, or shine? If the answer is yes, I add it to my cart!
Yes, I’m a huge fan of sparkly, shiny paper for card making. So, of course, I ordered Stampin’ Up!’s Glimmer 12 x 12 Specialty Paper from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog and played with it last week.
I think it pairs well with the Twinkling Lights Dies and the Lights Aglow 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.
Don’t you just love the green glimmer paper used on the card above? I used that for the tree and vanilla for the snow.
Stampin’ Up!’s Gold Foil also works well with the die cut Christmas tree from the Twinkling Lights Dies.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today! I hope you’re inspired to begin creating your own handmade holiday cards.

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.

Welcome to Team Stamp It’s July Blog Hop! This month, we feature Christmas in July cards and projects. Be sure to visit all of the blogs on the hop to get a host of holiday inspiration. Leave a comment on each with the hashtag #stampitcontest for a chance to win a Million Thanks Card Kit.
My card today features the Trees for Sale stamp set (page 39 of Stampin’ Up! July-December 2022 Mini Catalog) and the Tree Lot Dies . (Please note: These dies have sold out and are no longer available. However, I have a set available on my BOGO sale. Click here for details.)
I have to admit, I wasn’t going to get these dies. I’m just not a fan of little pieces. But my friend and fellow demonstrator, Ginger, sold me on the dies and the stamp set. (I think it was the puppy that sealed the deal.)
Now, I’m thinking of all the ways to use all those little pieces I was complaining about.
Note: SaleABration items are available while supplies last. So if you like these, get them sooner rather than later. Click here to see the other items available during SaleABration.
Tree Lot Dies Christmas Card
I created this card for my Christmas in July in-person card class. The participants loved it!
Hint: I applied Stampin’ Up!’s adhesive sheets to the card stock before die cutting the smaller pieces for the camper. This made it easier to assemble; we didn’t have to figure out how to get glue or tape on the tiny pieces.
I also used a piece of the Gingham Cottage 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper, available in the July-December Mini Catalog. This package boasts 48 sheets, and it’s perfect for all of your fall and holiday crafting projects.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. I hope you enjoy this Christmas card, and I hope you’re inspired to start creating your own.
Please let me know if I can help in any way.
Remember to visit all of the blogs on the hop and leave a comment for a chance to win A Million Thanks Card Kit.
Congratulations to Kay Grover who won last month’s contest.
