Stampin’ Up! Very Merry & Chic One Horse Open Sleigh Christmas Card with Video Tutorial

Good morning, y’all – it’s the next-to-last day of the Bonus Days EARNING period!  Yep – that’s right.  Today and tomorrow – you’ll still be EARNING Bonus Days coupons (one $5 coupon for every $50 spent before shipping and tax).  Then – starting on 1 August – you can start to REDEEM them (ie: SPEND them!).

And – this is a SUPER good time to be SURE that you’re on my list to get the new Sept – Dec 2023 Mini Catalog!  I’ll be ordering packs and packs of them on 2 August and then mailing them out to everyone who’s ordered $50 or more from me in the last year! Not sure if that includes YOU!?  Give me a shout or…go ahead and place an order over $50 (and get another Bonus Days Coupon while you’r at it!) and then you’ll know for SURE!

And – you MIGHT want to pick up the So Very Merry stamp set and a pack or three of One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ DSP from the Online Exclusives!  With these – and a couple other goodies – you could make today’s pretty Christmas card!  Take a look-see:

The layout – plus a few other elements – was inspired by the Global Design Project CASE the Designer challenge this week!

I started by adhering a piece of Misty Moonlight paper from the One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ DSP on a Crumb Cake mat for the card front.

I cut out five snowflakes – three large and two medium – from Basic White cardstock using the Chic Dies.

On a piece of Basic White, I stamped the Santa image from the So Very Merry stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and punched it out with the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch.

Using my Dark Smoky Slate, Light Cherry Cobbler and Light and Dark Pool Party Stampin’ Blends – I colored the Santa.

I used the Ivory Stampin’ Blend for his face – and the Petal Pink Stampin’ Write Marker for his nose!

I adhered the Chic Die cut snowflakes using Liquid Glue, then used a little Stampin’ Seal to adhere a doubled length of silver trim from the Gold & Silver 1/8″ Trim Combo Pack and a doubled length of Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine.

Over the ribbon, I adhered the punched circle Santa with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Crumb Cake cardstock, I stamped just the top line of the So Very Merry sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink.

I snipped an angled end on the strip and then adhered it with Liquid Glue.

I tied a bow with a length of the silver 1/8″ Trim and length of the Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine – then adhered it to the sentiment strip with a Glue Dot.

Using the putty end of the Take Your Pick Tool and some little dots of Liquid Glue, I adhered a bunch of Loose Silver Sequins – and the card front was done!

On the inside, I inked just the bottom line of the So Very Merry sentiment in Misty Moonlight and stamped a Basic White panel.  Next to the sentiment, I stamped the little holly bunch in Tuxedo Black – and colored it with the Light Cherry Cobbler and Dark Pool Party Stampin’ Blends.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Crumb Cake mat and into my Cherry Cobbler card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals – and the card was done!

My Basic White Medium Envelope got the So Very Merry holly bunch on the front…

…and more of the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  I’m so happy that this So Very Merry stamp set was re-stocked after it sold out SO fast!  It’s very fun and very pretty – I love the stained-glass feel!  I’m not even going to talk about the One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ DSP – we’ve established that it is STUNNING and a “must have” for all your Christmas projects!

I hope you like!

You’ve still got time to cash in on Bonus Days – just a TWO DAYS left to EARN those coupons (maybe THIS stamp set DSP and dies??) and then it’ll be time to REDEEM them in August!
