Season of Chic Christmas

Jul 12, 2022 | 2022-2023 Annual Catalog, Annual Catalog, Christmas, Gallery, July-December 2022 Mini Catalog, Kim's Creations, Video | 3 comments

Season of Chic Christmas

Continuing my Christmas in July series with a holiday card featuring the Season of Chic stamp set. Find it on page 91 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog.

I initially selected this set because the images lend themselves to all four seasons. (Click here to see another post for samples using this stamp set.)

In addition to using the snowflake image from the stamp set, I used a piece of Designer Series Paper from Lights Aglow (found in the new July-December 2022 Mini Catalog), and sentiment from the Sweet Candy Canes Stamp Set (also found in the new holiday mini).

But what’s most fun about this card is the layout. It’s so adaptable. I challenged my team to use it during our Mystery Stamping at our recent team meeting. 

Season of Chic Christmas

The layout is simple:

  • Card base measures 11″ x 4 1/4″ scored at 5 1/2″ and folded
  • A piece of Designer Series Paper measuring 5 1/4″ x 4″
  • Three squares measuring 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″. I used the square from the Stylish Shapes Dies
  • Another rectangle measuring 3/4″ x 3″
  • Embellishments

I had so much fun creating this first card, I made several more using a variety of other Stampin’ Up! products.
