Stitched Stocking Christmas in August Card

 Hello and T.G.I.F!  Today I'm sharing my very favorite of the Christmas bundles and DSP.  Unfortunately at the moment the DSP is out of stock but should be coming back soon!  If you are a fan of all things quilted, you'll love this one too!

I absolutely adore this stamp and die set!  To make the stocking, you need to cut the backer stocking as well as the smaller stitched stocking.  I cut mine out in Basic White but I think Real Red would have looked awesome as well.  There is a little stitched square included in the dies that you can use to cut assorted squares out of the DSP.  When you adhere the stitched squares, you can turn over the stocking and cut around the curves to make them all fit.  For the top portion, I used the cardinal image in one of the squares of DSP and cut the smaller stocking out again trying to center your cardinal in the upper portion... I cut it perfect the first time!  It is so much easier than it sounds.  Maybe I should do a quick video next time.  I adhered the quilted stocking to the larger backer stocking.  I cut out some holly leaves with a small piece of the darker green DSP and used a scrap of real red cardstock for the berries.  I adhered the finished stocking and holly onto a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of DSP with Dimensionals.  I was so happy with the finished product and did not want to cover it up with a large sentiment so I grabbed the Pretty Poinsettia bundle and used the smaller "Bright Christmas Wishes" sentiment.  I heat embossed the sentiment in White on Real Red Cardstock and cut both ends at an angle. The middle portion of the sentiment strip was adhered with multipurpose glue and I added a half dimensional to each end to be level with the stocking.  I adhered the DSP front onto a piece of 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Real Red Cardstock and then added that to an A2 Basic White Card Base.  I hope you loved this as much as I did!   I did not add embellishments or ribbon because this one had so much going on already!  My next card with this may go on a solid and embossed card front and embellished more.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Blessings, Tina

Updated Christmas Crew Card

 Just a super quick note...  

I decided that the cards that I made using the Christmas Crew bundle needed an extra border around the Everyday Arches opening on the card front.  I taped two of the arches together and die cut them together to make a border.  What do you think?

Thats all for now!  Hope you like the extra little pop of red on it!

Christmas in August Card with the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle

 Hello and here's hoping you are having a fabulous day!  I'm continuing with my Christmas in August theme and continuing to get a head start on my Christmas Cards.  Today's card is using the new Pretty Poinsettia Bundle.  At first look, I didn't think I needed a new Poinsettia stamp set.  I saw a video that showed how much texture the leaves have once they are die cut and run through with the impressions plate and that quickly changed my mind!

Below this blog post, you will find a list of all of the Stampin' Up! products I used on this A2 card.  Side note: The Merry Christmas sentiment is from an older stamp and die set, so it will not be linked.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  

Blessings, Tina

Christmas Cards made with Stampin' Up! Christmas Crew Bundle

 Hello!  I'm hoping you are having a fabulous week!  I know that traditionally "Christmas in July" is a thing so I did make a few Christmas Cards in July.  Apparently August is my month because I am really ramping up my Christmas Card making this month. I'm sharing three that were super easy with the help of a few tools.  

 

All of the cards are traditional A2 cards with a side fold. I used the adorable Christmas Crew Stamp Bundle (Item 168377 - available in the new SU Catalog on Sept 1, 2026).  I colored my Christmas Crew with blends (Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake, Peaceful Pine, Real Red and Gray Granite). 

Below is a list of all of the supplies used for these cards.

Have a wonderful day!

Blessings, Tina
