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.

Thanks for joining us today! Welcome to Team Stamp It’s July blog hop — Christmas in July. This month, we feature cards and projects with a Christmas and/or holiday theme. Be sure to visit all of the talented stampers participating in the hop. Leave a comment with the hashtag #stampitcontest. You could win a Looking Up card kit.
Today’s card features Stampin’ Up!’s Evergreen Elegance stamp set. Find it on page 91 of the Annual Catalog. I also use the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper, which, through August 2, is on sale for 15 percent off.
This card features a bit of a different design. See the photo below for a side view of how it opens.
Here are a few details:
base (Evening Evergreen) measures 7 1/2 inches x 5 1/2 inches. Score at 3 1/4 inches on the left side.
Soft Succulent piece, embossed with the Wintry 3D embossing folder, measures 5 1/4 x 3 inches.
the Designer Series Paper piece from Tidings of Christmas measures 1 1/4 inches by 5 1/4 inches. Glue to a Basic White piece measuring 5 1/4 x 4 that goes on the inside of the card.
sentiment from Christmas to Remember stamp set (a brand-new set coming soon in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog).
This layout works well for any theme of card, stamp sets, and Designer Series Paper. Here’s a video that shows how this card — with different stamps and paper — goes together.
Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure to visit all of the blogs on the hop to get a variety of ideas for Christmas cards and projects. You could win a free card kit. Just leave a comment with the hashtag #stampitcontest.
Congrats to JoAnn Porter . She is the winner of last month’s kit.

Many products from this catalog are being retired, including this stamp set and punch.
(Note: I’m sorry to say this bundle, stamp set and punch has sold out. I’ll be selling this retired bundle personally beginning January 5. Contact me for details.)
