Yesterday Stampin’ Up! announced a 25% off sale of select stamp sets that perhaps coordinate nicely with the newly introduced Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. Here I used one of the stamp sets on sale, Tin of Tags Photopolymer Stamp Set, to make two easy Christmas cards! It’s that time of year! I don’t have the framelits yet, but I think they would add a nice touch to my greetings on my cards as a border.
Watch the Stampin’ Up! video below to see how to use the new Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies!
My Christmas cards were very easy to make. I decided to make a 4 1/4″ square card. Instead of cutting the cardstock in half horizontally as we usually do, cut the length to 8 1/2″, then cut in half vertically (well, if you start with a full sheet of cardstock, cut in half vertically and then trim each strip to 8 1/2″.) Score at 4 1/4″ and fold in half. I used a layer of the Warmth and Cheer Designer Series Paper Stack as a background. The greetings on each card are stamped from the Tin of Tags Stamp Set. I die cut the squares with the Layering Squares Framelits Dies, but if you don’t have those, just cut your own squares. I also used the gold Metallic Enamel Shapes to add little accents on the one card.
The Tin of Tags Photopolymer Stamp Set of course coordinates with the cute Tin of Tags Project Kit. Such a fun and easy way to sit down for a little while and make 30 tags to use on your Christmas gifts! And you still have the cute red tin! I love red, so in my case, I bought the red tin and the kit just came with it!! But you can use the stamp set a million ways without the project kit, so don’t let that stop you.
