- Stampin' Up! Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set
- Select a Fresh Freesia color palette for a novel Christmas look
- Paper crafting fun with the Haunts & Harvest Paper Pumpkin Kit.
One of my favorite carry-over sets from past catalogs is the Perfectly Plaid stamp set and coordinating Pine Tree Punch. Today, I used this combination to create a fresh, fun Christmas Card as I continue to build up my stash for the holidays. I encourage you to get started now, by ordering the products you need so when you have a few hours of free time, you'll be able to begin your holiday cards, too. I combined Fresh Freesia cardstock, A Fresh Freesia print from the In Color Designer Series Paper and Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon with both heat embossing and dry embossing to fashion today's cards. Adding a few Pastel Pearls finished the card perfectly. A quick reminder: We've begun the final month of Sale-a-Bration. Until 30 September, for each $50 or $100 order you place (less tax and shipping), you'll earn FREE Sale-A-Bration selections.

Then, I created an image layer using an Fresh Freesia oval scalloped layer and a Basic White oval using the retired Layering Ovals Dies. There's an entire psychology around shapes and what they make you feel. Ovals, with their softer angles, often represent magic and mystery, which we often feel from our childhood-memories of Christmas, along with the eternity of Christ's birth. So, although the Layering Ovals dies are retired, I'll continue to use them for many of my designs.
Next, I selected a stamp from the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set, stamped it in Versamark ink, and covered it with White embossing powder. I used my heat tool to set the embossing powder, and punched out the pine tree shape using the Pine tree Punch, which coordinates with the Perfectly Plaid Stamp set. Below the embossed tree, which is mounted on Dimensionals, I stamped a Merry Christmas sentiment from the For Unto Us Stamp Set, using Fresh Freesia ink. I finished the card front by adding a bow in Fresh Freesia 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon, and adding 3 Pastel Pearls.
I love redoing past card designs using new colors and products. This is a great card design to try in your favorite holiday colors.
