Night Before Christmas

No time to make your own Christmas cards this year? Not so fast! Stampin' Up! to the rescue with the Night Before Christmas Memories & More Card Pack, and the coordinating Cards & Envelopes!

The Night Before Christmas Memories & More Card Pack includes 54 double-sided cards (6 each of 9 designs) and 6 sticker sheets. The Night Before Christmas Memories & More Cards & Envelopes has 20 card bases and coordinating envelopes.

Add a little adhesive (Snail, Dimensionals, or Glue Dots) and your cards will be ready to send in no time!

I made up 10 cards. Only one has any stamping at all. I added stickers to a couple, a border on a couple more, and to one I added a ribbon. Here's a look at each of the cards I made.

All that remains is to sign the cards and address the envelopes! (You may also choose to stamp a greeting to the inside of the cards). Below is the listing of all the products I used for these cards.

Dashing Deer in Gold and Crumb Cake

Hi everyone,

A couple of weeks ago I was experimenting with some embossing paste and the new Basic Patterns Decorative Masks from the Holiday Catalog. The result turned out to be one of my favorite cards I've made in a long time. I hope you like it too.

My card base is Very Vanilla card stock. To that I added a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock that has been embossed with the Shimmery White Embossing Paste that I tinted with 3 drops of the Golden Glitz Delicata Ink Refill. I applied a thin layer of embossing paste to the Crumb Cake card stock using the mask. Here's a closer look.

The background has just a hint of sparkle and looks beautiful in person. It really doesn't show up very well in the photos.

Using the Layered Circle Dies, I cut out a scalloped circle in gold and a solid circle in Very Vanilla card stock. I embossed the Very Vanilla circle using the Subtle 3D embossing folder that I inked with Crumb Cake ink. I embossed the circle horizontally and vertically to create the linen look.

The deer is stamped in Golden Glitz Delicata Ink on Very Vanilla card stock and cut out with the coordinating die. The deer is adhered to the circle using Dimensionals.

The sentiment is also stamped in Golden Glitz ink on Very Vanilla card stock and cut out with the Timeless Label punch. The sentiment is backed with Gold Foil also cut out with the Timeless Label punch.

Birds of a Feather Thanksgiving

Hey there stampers!

Now that Halloween is behind us and it seems like Christmas is everywhere, I'm hoping we don't forget about Thanksgiving! I used the very fun Birds of a Feather stamp set and the Word Wishes Dies to come up with today's card.

I stamped the bird image on Whisper White card stock and colored with Stampin' Blends. The card base is Pretty Peacock card stock with a layer of Crumb Cake card stock and a top layer of Designer Series Paper from the Come To Gather Paper Pack. I added a strip of Crumb Cake card stock that I embossed with the Corrugated 3D embossing folder. I added a piece of 1/2" Scalloped Linen Ribbon behind the turkey. The sentiment is cut of out Grapefruit Grove foil paper, left over from Sale-a-bration 2019.

I hope you like my light hearted look at Thanksgiving. Do you send cards for Thanksgiving? Leave a comment below to let me know.
