Musical Season

 I thought this card posted but it somehow got hung up duirng my flu crisis so I am posting it late. It’s already past the 25th of the month so that means it’s time for a Christmas card post.  Today’s card is one that Cammie made using all retired products from the 2017 Stampin Up Holiday catalog.  She started with a Tranquil Tide card base and added a piece of the Merry Music DSP.  For the sentiment panel, Cammie featured the Musical Season stamp set and then cut the French horn using the Musical Instruments Framelits.

Hang In There

 Phantom of the Opera has made its way back for a short run in Columbus Ohio so I wanted to pull out the now retired Chandelier Thinlits die for the dramatic focal point. I added the beaded jewels stamped from the now retired Season to Sparkle stamp set and the background paper is from the now retired Merry Music DSP from Stampin Up,   I made a few of these cards to have on hand for friends and family are going through a rough time.

Dickens Christmas

 This card is what I call my Dickens Christmas card.  It makes me think of Christmas in the Charles Dickens era!  I layered  the Merry Music DSP #144623 over the Merry Little Christmas DSP #144621 and then cut the lamp post from the Christmas Lamppost Thinlits #144675 and a banner from the coordinating Brightly Lit #144807 stamp set from Stampin Up.  All the products for this card are on the Stampin Up Year End Sales Event List.

 Merry Christmas.  I made this beautiful Sampler for my friends birthday using a lot of the products in the Stampin Up holiday catalog. Be sure to check out the Stampin Up Year End Sales Event  to see the items that will no longer be available after Jan 2.

Wine A lot

 I love the Half Full #144996 stamp set from Stampin Up.  I created the background by randomly stamping images from the Half Full set and added a piece of the Merry Music DSP #144623.  I added a Gold Snowflake to anchor the focal piece.

MerryMistletoe

 Nothing beats a black and white card with a pop of red.  Cammie started this card with a piece of Merry Music DSP #144623 from Stampin Up. She paired that with the Christmas Happiness #144868 stamp set and the gorgeous Foil Snowflakes #144642 and a bow tied from the sparkly Tinsel Trim #144636.  All the items on this card are currently in limited supply and on the Stampin Up End of Year Retirement List.

Hot Cocoa Combo

 Today it is snowy and aand thought it was a great day to share the sweet hot chocolate match book and the cutest cup of marshmallows. The match book was sized to fit a single pouch of hot chocolate. I covered the front panel with a piece of Merry Little Christmas DSP #144621 and then added the mittens stamped with the Smitten Mitten #144621 stampset  and then cut out using the coordinating  Many Mittens #144672 Thinlits from Stampin Up.  For the little cup I covered the cup using the Merry Music DSP #144623 and added a snowflake cut from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits #143751.

Both the Many Mittens Thinlits and the Smitten Mitten stamp set are on the Stampin Up Retirement list and are both discounted.  Be sure to check out the Stampin Up Year End Retirement List to get some great deals and products while supplies last.

 Today’s post is a fun post using the Brightly Lit #144807 stamp set from  and the coordinating Christmas Lamppost Thinlits #144675 from Stampin Up to create  a serene seasonal scene.  The  background paper is from the Merry Music Specialty DSP #144623 collection.

Cup of Holiday Cheer

 I love everything about today’s Christmas card post featuring the Merry Music DSP #144623 from Stampin Up.  The card layout is a gatefold style card and the top focal piece also flips open for double the fun. The coffee cup is cut using a coordinating piece of the Merry Music DSP using the very popular Coffee Cups Framelits #143745.  The sentiment is stamped onto the coffee sleeve using the Merry Cafe stamp set.  I added a piece of the 1/8 ” real red solid ribbon to complete this card.

Christmas Melody

 It’s the 25th of the month so that means a Christmas post.  Today’s post is one that Cammie did using the mostly new product from the Stampin Up Holiday catalog.  The background paper is from the Merry Music DSP paper collection #144623.  For the focal panel Cammie created layers using , stamps and die cuts.  The stamp sets she used are the Colorful Seasons #143726 and the Musical Season #144814.  She cut the instruments out using the coordinating Musical Framelits #144677 which were instrumental  in her heavenly Christmas card.
