Be Merry Christmas Card with Santa's deer

Be Merry Christmas Card from Stampin' Up!


I love how our new stamp sets work with our carry over sets from previous years stretching our investment in our stamp set and supplies.   Today I mixed die cuts from the Santa Sleigh set with the new Snowflake Sentiments set.  My Designer Series Paper choice is the Be Merry Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog.  It coordinates with Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green cardstock.

  
Santa's Sleigh creates this cute deer



This simple Christmas card also uses the deer die cut from the Santa's Sleigh stamp set and the coordinating Santa's Sleigh Thinlit Dies.  As I worked on a swap card due this week, my desk became cluttered with die cuts and ribbon ends.  I love looking down at this pile of deer die cuts.  The expression on the the deer is perfect, in my opinion -- such confidence and calm!  I enjoy the messy process before we get to our final cards.




The base card for my card is Basic Black cardstock.  The next layer is two designs from the Be Merry Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog.  Then I stamped one of the sentiments and the three snowflakes from the Snowflake Sentiments set from the Holiday Catalog  onto a circle punched with the Stitched Shapes framelits.  The Merry Christmas is stamped in Cherry Cobbler and the three snowflakes are stamped in Garden Green.  I cut the "from our family to yours" off my "Merry Christmas" stamp as I wanted to make stamping the Merry Christmas as clean as possible.  This also allows me to stamp the "from our family to yours" in another color more easily, when I choose to use it.



Be Merry Designer Series Papers comoplete this card



The deer die cut is popped up on dimensionals, and the ribbon and bow are made from the 3/8" Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon.  If you have a large number of Christmas cards to make for your list of friends and family and you don't have much time, this card design will help you create a meaningful hand made card quickly for those you love.

Halloween Spooky Cat on a Spooky Night from Stampin' Up!

  • Halloween Spooky Cat card
  • Free Holiday catalog download

Spooky Night Card 


I had quite a few swaps with other demos that I've been working on, so I'll have lots of new cards to show you using the Holiday catalog products over the next few weeks.  I'm still having so much fun with the Spooky Cat stamp set and coordinating Cat punch.  I know I'll be using this set long after Halloween.  Today I'm using the Spooky Cat stamp set with the coordinating  Spooky Night Designer Series Paper (DSP) to create a fun Halloween card that you'll enjoy sending to family and friends.       

  



The stamp set includes a cat, but I punched the cat out of one of the DSP using the new Cat punch.  You'll love the convenience of having a sheets full of perfect cats in Basic Black or Pumpkin Pie.  Or use your Cat Punch to  Punch cats in any color.  The Spooky Cat stamp set includes cat eyes and nose to finish any cat colors you decide to punch.


Spooky Night Designer Series Paper


The base card for my card is Basic Black cardstock, then a layer of Very Vanilla and another layer of Pumpkin Pie.  I ran the Pumpkin Pie layer through the Layered Leaves 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  The tag is made from one of the Spooky Night DSP.   

For the Image Layer, I punch a circle using the Stitched Framelit die and I cut a hearth using the Hearth and Home Thinlit set.  I stamped a rat from the Spooky Nights set along with the Halloween sentiment from that set.  I always choose Basic Black Archival Stampin' Pad when I stamp black images.  The ink isn't as fast drying as our Classic pads, but the Archival Black pad gives solid coverage and clean details.  Note that the eye of the rat can be seen, unlike other inks that will bleed slightly.  I love our Black Archival ink pad and reinkers.



Rat and a Cat



The image block also includes three of the new Black Rhinestone Jewels from the new Holiday catalog that you'll want to get.  These new jewels will work wonderfully not only for your Halloween projects, but also compliment all of the new black and white designer series papers, and Basic Black and Old Olive Designer Series Papers in the new Holiday Catalog.   



Spooky Cat cards ready for swaps


Think of how much it would brighten some one's day if they were to receive this handmade card and the cute treat box from my previous post as a Halloween hello.   The Spooky Cat stamp set and Cat punch can be purchased as a bundle for a 10% savings.

Stamps:  Spooky Cat
Ink:  Basic Black Archival
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Spooky Night Designer Series Paper
