Carols of Christmas Handmade Card
Today I am sharing a card that one of my team members made using the new Carols of Christmas stamp set which will be available in August. How can it almost be August??Perfect timing for my Christmas in July Class this Friday! I love being part of a Stamping Team. My group, Stamping New England gets together once a month to design projects for upcoming classes. I can’t believe the variety of ideas that two different people can design using the same cardstock and stamp set.
The Carols of Christmas stamp set is beautiful and I can already envision so many beautiful cards with it.
And what really makes this set special is the thinlits that are also available. They are beautiful!
Here are the details on this card:
The card base is made with a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Dapper Denim cardstock scored at 4 1/4″. The first layer is a piece of Whisper White cardstock cut to 4″ x 5 1/4″. The outline thinlit was used around the edge of this piece of cardstock. (You will need to run this piece of cardstock thru the Big Shot twice to outline the whole layer). I love the detailed cuttings on this thinlit.. I see some great frames for Family Christmas pictures! Margaret used scraps of Gold Foil and Gold Glimmer paper behind the detailed cutouts along the edge of the frame.
The next layer is the gold embossed piece of Dapper Denim Designer paper that is part of the Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Paper. This piece is cut to 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″. Next is a set of pine trees cut using the pine tree thinlit with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper.
Last is a piece of Whisper white cardstock stamped with “Peace on Earth” and Versamark ink and embossed with Gold Embossing powder. This sentiment is cut out with the Layering Ovals framelits.
These are the products used for this project. The Carols of Christmas stamp set will be available to order on
August 1st (146037).

If your order is under $150, use the hostess code PVD36PFP and I will send you a sampler of the new Be Merry Christmas paper.

Thanks for stopping by Marilyn’s Creative Playground and checking out my project made with the Carols of Christmas stamp set.
Today I am sharing two cards that were made from the same stamp set and Designer paper using one sketch to make two different cards.
Need inspiration?? I love sketches! I chose a sketch that has an element that matches the stamp set that I want to use. In this case Santa’s Sleigh. Then we selected the Be Merry Designer paper which coordinates with Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green cardstocks and inks. Did you know that Stampin’ Up! prints the colors for each designer paper on the back of the package?? I love that. So when I am designing using a specific paper, I just pull a couple of pieces of each color of cardstock and pick out those inks. Then it is time to design!
Today I am sharing a Shaker Card that I made using the Embellished Ornaments stamp set from Stampin’ Up for my upcoming Christmas in July Class! Since Stampin’ Up! has come out with the new Foam Adhesive Strips (141825).
When I saw this sketch I thought of two potential shaker cards. One with a Christmas ornament and another with a large flower such as a Dahlia. If I have time I will make the Dahlia card later this week.
