The time has snuck up on me this year, but the 12 Weeks of Christmas begins TOMORROW, October 4! Who would have thought?! I’ve been doing this every year for quite a few years now and usually, I give you several weeks warning! But now it is here!
Every Wednesday for twelve weeks I will send out a special email, only to my mailing list subscribers, with one holiday project each week! We start with cards, then gift ideas, and finally bags, tags, and gift wrap. I have fun sending these emails and I think my customers enjoy receiving them and getting extra ideas that they can use for their holiday crafting.
How do you get them? You have to be on my Mailing List! Just sign up in the red box on the right if you are on my website. If you are on your phone, you may have to scroll all the way down to find it. Or just click HERE to go to the page to sign up. It’s free, of course, and you can unsubscribe at any time if it’s not for you. If you are already getting my Tuesday emails, then you don’t have to do anything! You are IN!
These projects will not be anywhere else…not on my blog, or Facebook page, or Instagram. They are my gift to my mailing list subscribers as a thank you for following me and stamping along with me! We’d love to have you join us if you would like! The first email goes out tomorrow afternoon! I better get busy!
This Trucking Along Bundle has proven so popular that it has sold out quickly from the beginning and every time Stampin’ Up! got more in stock. There has been a long wait but finally, it is back, even earlier than expected!
As I write this, you can purchase the Bundle with the stamp set and Trucking Along Builder Punch and save 10%.
You can use this Trucking Along Bundle for all seasons! Just load up the truck bed with different colors and different objects! Put fall leaves, Christmas trees, or spring flowers in the truck! Whatever you like. You will have fun with some of your other stamp sets finding little things you can add in the truck I’m sure!
Here’s a fun Christmas card to make if you like those old-fashioned Christmas light bulbs! This Merry & Bright Christmas Bulbs Card takes me back to my childhood! If you are old enough to remember, many years ago Christmas trees were decorated with these big bulbs, not the tiny ones we have been using for a lot of recent years. I remember my dad putting up outdoor lights with all these colored bulbs. The Christmas tree also was decorated with these large-sized bulbs. After many years of using the small Christmas lights, I think some of the big bulbs have come back in style!
This card has a card base of Granny Apple Green. You could choose any of three colors of green that would coordinate with this Christmas tree pattern in the designer paper. The designer paper is the Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper in the Holiday Mini Catalog. I love this paper! Not only does it have bright and bold colors, but some of the patterns you can use year round! They aren’t all for the holidays. Many of the patterns would be great for birthday cards or scrapbook pages, wherever you want a bright and happy look to your project!
The Christmas bulbs can be stamped and diecut using the Merry & Bright Bundle, the stamp set, and dies. Or maybe you just want to diecut the bulbs out of paper, such as the Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green Foil Sheets, which is what I used on this card. That’s why there is such a glare in the photo! I used two Melon Mambo bulbs and a Granny Apple Green one in the center. For the bulb holder, I used the Online Exclusive Silver & Gold Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper in silver. I intended to peel off the backing and not have to worry about adhesive, but when I put them on the card, I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop them up so I didn’t need the adhesive backing. But when you want it, it is great to have! To make the lights look like they are on a string, I used a piece of the Silver Trim in the Combo Pack with gold trim. I just wound it through each hole, left it a little loose, and tied the ends in a little knot but kept it looking loose and free. I like the way that turned out.
The greeting is stamped from the Merry & Bright Stamp Set. I used Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green ink and just cut the words out by hand.
To showcase the Christmas lights, I diecut a piece of Granny Apple Green using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I opted to cut another plain rectangle to fit just inside the stitching of the diecut piece to help the bulbs show off better. But the plain white seemed a little stark, so I stamped a bunch of the little stars in the same stamp set using Daffodil Delight in. First I stamped only a few but that wasn’t enough so I stamped as many as I could fit in and I liked that look. I think the stars make the bulbs look like they are shining brightly! The scalloped piece is adhered flat on the card and the bulbs are popped up, as I mentioned.
This is actually an easy card to make, now that you have the idea to copy! And you can change it up with different paper, maybe just stamped bulbs or bulbs diecut from cardstock in different colors. Turn the card in the sideways landscape position and you can add more Christmas bulbs! It’s a fun set and Bundle to play with! If you don’t want to purchase the dies, you can do some fussy cutting.
I wanted to make a card with this cute stocking patterned paper in the Traditions of St. Nick Designer Series Paper. I came up with this very easy, basic card, Traditions of St. Nick Little Stockings Card using the “other side” of the stocking paper!
This card turned out a lot like the card that I made a month ago with a different designer paper, the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper. That card I made looks more like a wrapped package with two rows of ribbon on it.
The card on this blog post has a card base of Cherry Cobbler. I could have used Real Red and maybe would have preferred that, but I hadn’t used Cherry Cobbler cardstock in a while. Originally, I cut the stocking pattern to be the full layer on the card, which would have been fine, but when I saw the pretty green damask design on the other side, I wanted to show some of that off to the side. I simply cut off 1 1/4″ of the stocking pattern and turned it over on the other side. When I plan ahead, I leave a little extra space for overlap of the two papers. In this case, since I wanted to wrap the ribbon around the designer paper, I adhered both pieces of designer paper onto a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White. Then I could add the strip of ribbon, adhered on each end on the back of the Basic White.
The greeting is stamped on Cherry Cobbler using the Brightest Glow Stamp Set. It is a carry-over from last year’s holiday catalog. It has great holiday sentiments in it so I pulled it out to use this season! I decided to emboss it with Gold Embossing Powder using Versamark ink to stamp. You will find three colors of embossing powder in the Metallic Embossing Powders trio. I thought the gold embossing would go well with the gold in the ribbon. I die cut the greeting and the Mossy Meadow layer with two of the Deckled Circles Dies. Another choice would be to emboss the greeting in white. Depending on the lighting, white would show up better, but I do like the look of the gold. To further emphasize the gold, I added two strips of the Gold Trim, which is part of the Gold & Silver 1/8″ Trim Combo Pack, underneath the greeting, sticking out on each side. I like that little touch.
You will find this designer series paper, Traditions of St. Nick, in the Online Exclusives category of the Online Store. The Online Exclusives are new products Stampin’ Up! wanted to get out to use without waiting for the next catalog! So they are only available while supplies last. Be sure to get any of the Online Exclusives that you like lest they be sold out or backordered if Stampin’ Up! is able to add more.
As you think about holiday card designs you might like to make, something like this card would be easy to duplicate. If you wanted to make it easier you could just stamp the greeting in colored ink rather than embossing. Check out all the choices in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog and the Online Exclusives. Don’t forget the Clearance Rack, too!
I had purchased this designer paper knowing I could make plenty of Christmas cards with just the paper and not the stamp set. But at some point, I could no longer resist the stamp set! Being able to stamp the words and make a little tree or being able to stamp several different styles of Christmas light bulbs was just too fun to pass up!
The card base is Real Red card stock, but you could choose from a lot of different colors because of all the colors of the Christmas light bulbs in the paper! This Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper is wonderful! It has bright colors, Christmas patterns, and generic bold colorful patterns that can be used at other times of the year.
On top of the designer paper is a circle of vellum to soften the little light bulbs a bit so the tree with the greeting would show up. I used one of the Deckled Circles Dies to cut a circle out of Vellum Cardstock. I stamped all the words in the Merry & Bright Stamp Set in various colors – Pool Party, Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Poppy Parade, Lemon Lime Twist. The little star at the top of the tree is stamped in Daffodil Delight Ink. The little trunk of the tree is a scrap of Pool Party cardstock.
The good thing about this card is that I could use Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the back of all the words on the back of the vellum that I glued flat on the card, and of course, none of the glue showed through the vellum. Sometimes it is difficult to hide adhesive under vellum. I placed some of the words (cut out by hand) a little crooked so it wouldn’t matter if they weren’t perfectly straight. But you could place them as straight as possible too!
I thought about using some bling on the card, but I resisted and stopped where I was! I think this paper and stamp set is going to be fun to work with. It would be nice to have the dies as well, the Merry & Bright Dies. Get the Merry & Bright Stamp Set and the Dies together in a Bundle and save 10%. It’s a fun change of pace to use these bright, non-traditional colors for the holidays!
The way this Joy of Noel Foliage Christmas Card turned out was a surprise to me! I really wasn’t sure what kind of card I was going to make but it wasn’t this one! I was reminded of this red and black plaid paper in the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper and after that I knew I had to use it!
First I stamped the image of the holly leaves and berries in Memento Ink and then had some fun with my Stampin’ Blends coloring them in. I hadn’t done any coloring in a little while. I used the Old Olive Combo, Granny Apple Green Combo, Mossy Meadow Combo, and the Real Red Combo for the berries. I used the die in the Joy of Noel Dies to cut out this piece.
The card base is Garden Green. One of the main things that interested me in thisJoy of Noel Bundle was the stamp for “NOEL” and the die that would cut out the letters individually. I stamped the letters in Real Red and then diecut them. With the white border around the letters, I thought they showed up fine against the red plaid so I didn’t have to layer them on anything.
I also diecut some other foliage pieces to slip underneath my holly leaves piece. The holly leaves are popped up on Dimensionals and everything else is glued down flat on the card. I resisted the urge to add some kind of jewels or sparkle but I did add a red bow to the base of the holly leaves bouquet. I used the Real Red Ribbon in the Combo Pack with the Burlap ribbon. You can use whatever ribbon you have. This one was good because it was narrower than some other Real Red ribbon I had.
Be sure to check out the entire Joy of Christmas Suite and choose all or some of it!
This Joy of Noel Slimline Christmas Card was my first card after recently getting the Joy of Noel Bundle. There are two different Bundles in the Joy of Christmas Suite Collection. Of course, I wanted everything in the Suite, but I chose this bundle because I liked the NOEL stamp.
To get started, I chose to copy a sample in the Holiday Mini on page 28. Of course, mine turned out a little different, but it was fun to make. You can always start by copying an idea in a catalog and then as your idea develops, you can make it your own, as they say.
This is a slimline card. I started with a 6″ x 6″ piece of Pebble Path cardstock and folded it in half to make a 3″ x 6″ card. I cut a piece of the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper, the music pattern to go all the way across the middle of the card. It is 2 1/4″ x 6″. Then a smaller piece of the holly leaves and berries patterned paper is 1 1/4″ x 5″.
I stamped two of the foliage pieces in Garden Green ink on Garden Green cardstock and used a die in the Joy of Noel Dies to cut them out. I also cut other foliage pieces out of Granny Apple Green cardstock to add some additional foliage and color.
The greeting is stamped from the Joy of Noel Stamp Set in Real Red ink on Basic White with a layer of Real Red. I just cut a rectangular piece without a die. I popped up the greeting just in the center at first with a Stampin’ Dimensional until I got the foliage pieces placed where I wanted them. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue so I had some “wiggle” time to put them in the right places. There is even a die for little red berries so I cut some of those out and glued them to the holly leaves. When I had all the pieces adhered where I wanted them, I slipped another Dimensional underneath each end of the greeting.
For some embellishment, not that I needed it, I wanted to play with the new Loose Holly Gems and Sequins. These are currently unavailable but should be back in stock next week, the week of September 18th. They have no adhesive so you need to use a tiny dot of glue to adhere them. There are even little gold music notes in there so I added a few since I was using the music paper.
It’s time to be thinking about Christmas cards so check out the Holiday Mini for some great ideas!

This week Stampin’ Up! released not only the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog but also five new designer series papers in the Online Exclusives! One of them I especially loved with these classic Santas as one of the paper patterns. As soon as my Holiday Mini order came with this Traditions of St. Nick Designer Series Paper I had to make a card with it and this Old-Fashioned Santa Christmas Card is what I came up with!
The card base is Mossy Meadow cardstock with a layer of the damask pattern of paper in the same Traditions of St. Nick paper. This damask pattern gives a really elegant look without taking away from the Santa. Before adhering the designer paper layer, I wrapped a piece of Real Red Ribbon around it.
The Santa is diecut using the Deckled Rectangles Dies. If you take the die that is the right size and place it on the designer paper, you can figure out where you have to cut out that area of the image from the designer paper. It’s a killer to cut into the paper the first time but it must be done! It seemed impossible to me to omit just the bottom of a couple of tree trunks in the area but you have to make the Santa fit plus some nice trees without bumping into part of another Santa. You could also just fussy cut a Santa if you don’t want a rectangle. Circles probably wouldn’t work. Then I cut another larger deckled rectangle in Real Red for a layer. You could pop up the Santa on Stampin’ Dimensionals but I just adhered it flat on the card.
The greeting is from the Joy of Noel Stamp Set that I just got. I stamped it in Real Red ink and diecut it with a stitched rectangle in the Timeless Arrangements Dies. The word just barely fit but it did! It is popped up with Dimensionals. There are other Christmas greetings that you could use as well.
I really like this paper and this card and plan to make more Santa cards! Remember, this Traditions of St. Nick Designer Series Paper is NOT in the Holiday Mini Catalog. You have to search under “Online Exclusives” which are new releases that Stampin’ Up! is going to bring out now and then so we don’t have to wait to see them in a catalog! That keeps life exciting! The only thing is Online Exclusives are not guaranteed to be around for any particular length of time. So if you see something you like a lot, don’t wait.
I hope you are enjoying the new mini catalog and getting ideas for your fall and holiday cards and projects!

This Beary Cute Polar Bear Christmas Card is made with one of the new designer papers coming TOMORROW in the new September – December 2023 Mini Catalog. The more I use it the more taken I am with it! You can do so many fun things with these cute polar bears of all sizes! I knew the paper was cute when I saw it in the catalog, but it could possibly be my favorite paper in the Mini.
I can guarantee that you will hate to cut into this paper with all the bears and the other forest creatures. But cut into it you must! You can use the Beary Cute Punch to punch out certain of the bears but to really have fun with the paper you can “fussy-cut” the images or diecut some.
To make this card, I simply cut out an area of the Beary Cute Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the card. Now it may not seem simple to do. You just have to figure out an area that can be cut out, either with a die or using the Paper Trimmer, that won’t cut off anything that you really want or won’t include something you don’t want from a neighboring image. You may have to cut it smaller than a normal layer on a card but that will work out. I used a ruler to help me see what part of the paper would work. Just kind of measure the piece you want. You may even initially cut it larger than you want so then you can carefully trim down the piece to have the images you want that will fit on your card or project.
I liked having the Real Red layer underneath the designer paper for this card to bring out the red on the bears. The card base is Misty Moonlight but Night of Navy looks good, too. You might notice that Very Vanilla is one of the coordinating colors for the designer paper, not Basic White. Most people wouldn’t notice if you sent a card with this paper with Basic White, but officially I guess the color to use for a neutral is Very Vanilla.
For the greeting, I embossed this one with white embossing powder on a scrap of Real Red cardstock. The greeting is in the Brightest Glow Stamp Set. It is carried over so you will find it online if you search but it is not in the Annual Catalog. To add a little accent to the greeting I simply stuck a folded piece of Gold Trim underneath the edge. And you won’t be able to resist using the Glitter Sequins on page 23 in the Holiday Mini! I stuck a few on the Christmas tree on the paper for a little sparkle!
The area I cut out of the designer paper is a little larger than I used for just the front of the card. After I finished the front of the card I decided I would like a strip of the designer paper on the inside layer of the card. When I looked back at the paper, it looked like a perfect strip of paper just to the side of what I had already cut out for the front of the card. It has a small tree and a small bear! You can see the photo below.
Get ready with your Shopping List for tomorrow when the Holiday Mini goes live! Remember, the website could be busy but hopefully you won’t have any problems!
You’ll find many ways to work with the Merriest Trees Bundle in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Mini Catalog. This Merriest Trees Stenciled Christmas Card was inspired by a scrap piece of cardstock from which I had diecut a tree for another card I made. That scrap laid around here and every time I saw it I thought of using it as a stencil.
My intention was to use several colors to give the tree kind of an ombre effect. I used Parakeet Party, Lemon Lime Twist, and Granny Apple Green. The Granny Apple Green stood out a little more against the other two and I also used it as a little bit of shading on each side. But in the end, it seemed all three colors blended together and the tree looked like one green! But it was still fun doing it. I used one of the Small Blending Brushes to add the color, starting with the lightest color. When I was finished, I just rinsed the Blending Brush under the faucet to rinse out the ink. Let it dry before you use that brush again. After you are finished with the stenciling, you can stamp with the detailed branch stamp in the Merriest Trees Stamp Set to add some interest to the tree. I stamped that using Granny Apple Green Ink.
To decorate the tree, I used the More Dazzle 6″ x 6″ Specialty Paper (or you may have some left of the Champagne color from Sale-A-Bration a little while ago). There is a die in the Merriest Trees Dies in the Bundle that cuts out these cute little chains. There are also several stars you can choose from for the top of the tree. The little red starry images are stamped with Real Red ink with one of the small Merriest Trees stamps. The gifts under the tree are cut from the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper. I actually trimmed some of them smaller to make them fit under the tree better.
The colored circles on the tree that look like decorations are actually punched out pieces from the Festive Tags Kit in the Kits Collection after I made all the tags. They looked too cute to just trash so I saved them. Gluing a few to the tree seemed like a perfect idea!
For the greeting, I needed to choose something small. In fact, I considered not even adding a greeting to the front of the card since the card is pretty busy already. But the smallest die in the Countryside Corners Dies was the perfect size to make this little banner with the greeting that fit on the tree without being too big or distracting.
Today is the last day to purchase on sale any of the kits in the Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection! If there is one you like be sure to get it and save a little bit of money. I especially like the Festive Tags Kit, as I have said before. It will be so useful in a couple of months!
Not only do we have the new Stampin’ Up! Holiday Mini Catalog to look forward to on September 6th, but Stampin’ Up! just announced some new designer papers they are releasing on that date! They will be in the Online Exclusives category online and will only be available “while supplies last”.

Remember, all the new things begin Wednesday, September 6!
I often say sometimes all you have to do is get out your designer papers and you will be inspired with at least one idea for making a card. That’s what happened with this Fa La La La La Christmas Card. In just a little over a week, you will be able to order this Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper (161945) in the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog, or the Holiday Mini as I prefer to call it (and type it!).
So far (so far!!) I have only ordered the paper in this cute Merry Bold & Bright Suite and I really love it! When you spread those papers out with their bold & bright colors and designs, it just brings joy to your heart! Except for the Christmas lights, it’s not exactly your traditional Christmas designs, but it’s fresh and new! I love working with it!
For this card, I chose a card base of Shady Spruce and the Fa La La La La pattern in the package of designer paper. I thought a layer of Basic White underneath helped it stand out a little bit. I made the Basic White layer a little smaller for a slightly wider card base margin. The designer paper piece is 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″.
The greeting is stamped with Poppy Parade Ink on Basic White and then diecut with this label in the Something Fancy Dies. I used a larger die to cut out a piece of Shaded Spruce for a layer. The greeting is from the Brightest Glow Stamp Set, a carry-over set from last year’s holiday mini. You can find it online, still available, but not in a catalog. It’s a perfect set for holiday greetings.
To jazz things up, I added two folded bits of the White Iridescent Ribbon (161955) which you will find on page 9 of the Holiday Mini, and adhered them under the greeting on each side, then popped up the greeting on Stampin’ Dimensionals. And I love the Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs (161954) in the Holiday Mini. I added three of the different colors to the greeting. They’re very cute and shiny.
Turn that Christmas paper pattern over to the other side and see what you can make! I’ll have an example in my Tuesday newsletter later today! If you want to see it, sign up in the red box here on my blog! You’ll be glad you did because before we know it, I’ll be sending out my exclusive 12 Weeks of Christmas newsletter with a holiday idea every week.
