Welcome to the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! Thanks so much for joining us in July! This month, we celebrate Christmas in July. Be sure to visit all of the blogs on the hop to gain some holiday crafting inspiration … and get started on your holiday crafting.
Country Birdhouse Holiday Card
For today’s post, I share a holiday card using a mix and match of products but also featuring Stampin’ Up!’s Country Birdhouse Bundle. Find this bundle on pages 48-50 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog. Don’t you love that you can transform all-occasion stamps and dies into holiday creations?
Review the list below to see the other ingredients I used to create this festive DIY card:
Crumb Cake cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
Country Woods Designer Series Paper measuring 5 1/4 x 4
Birdhouse pieces include Cherry Cobbler, Pretty Peacock and Crumb Cake. I embossed the house with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder, a brand-new embossing folder available in Stampin’ Up!’s September-December 2024 Mini Catalog (goes live early September)
Stamped the bird with Memento ink, die cut, and colored with Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends.
Sentiment from Greetings of the Season stamp set, stamped with Cherry Cobbler, and die cut with Greetings of the Season Dies.
Greenery stamped with Pretty Peacock and die cut with the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle (available in the upcoming September-December 2024 Mini Catalog).

Thanks so much for visiting my blog and hopping along today! I hope you enjoyed this Christmas in July project using the Country Birdhouse Bundle. Be sure to visit all of the blogs on the hop to gain even more inspiration.
Getting a new stamp set, bundle, or Designer Series Paper is exciting! It’s fun to rip into the package and start creating immediately. But oftentimes, you’re stumped. Just what are you going to do with the supplies you just purchased? Sometimes you head to Pinterest, and sometimes you use Google to help you find samples. Additionally, get other ideas by participating in a card swap.
That’s just one of the fun activities my team of Kim’s Paper Krafters participates in. (Click here to read about the great Starter Kit special and also discover how to become a member of my team.)
Eighteen people participated in our recent swap. The requirements: use current Stampin’ Up! product to create a holiday themed card. I made the card shown above. Be sure to watch the video at the end of this post to see the other seventeen holiday card samples. You’ll get lots of inspiration for your holiday card making — from fun folds and more.
Other ingredients include Stampin’ Up!’s Festive Foils Designer Series Paper, Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder, the Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon, and Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels. I chose a simple design to make 18 cards in preparation for the swap.

When you’re a crafter, there’s nothing more exciting than creating with brand-new product. During September of 2022, Stampin’ Up! is offering six, brand-new die cut sets that coordinate with current sets in both the Annual Catalog and the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. It’s called the Perfect Partners promotion, and it runs through September 30. See the graphic below for a look at the stamp sets and their new coordinating dies.
You’re able to purchase the stamp set separately, the die cuts alone, or both as a bundle (and save 10 percent).
Today, I’m sharing a card created with the Trimming the Tree Bundle. I love the dies. They cut the large tree, create two 3D-like trees, and give lots of options for decorating the tree with garland, stars, ribbons, baubles; there’s even a pot for the tree. And, the labels for the sentiments are unique.
This card also uses:
The Lights Aglow 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper
Gold Foil
Wintry 3D Embossing Folder (the evergreen pattern)
Large label from Seasonal Labels Dies
Coordinating colors include Cherry Cobbler, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent, and Very Vanilla
Red Rhinestone Jewels
