Saint Nicholas

Today’s projects feature the Stampin’ Up! Saint Nicholas bundle and Designer Series Paper (DSP). This first card is a slimline card (measurements: 3.5″ x 8.5″). The card base is made from Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I wanted a nice and cozy feel to the card so I used the Cherry Cobbler print of the inside of a house DSP. The DSP measurements are 3.25″ x 8.25″. I just love the little fireplace and I could not help but to create some stockings to hang over it using the Saint Nicholas bundle dies. I also used the Saint Nicholas dies to die cut Saint Nicholas from the Designer Series Paper. To create a little collage area on the card, I used the Deckled Circle dies, Tailor Made Tag dies, the Black and Very Vanilla Large Check Ribbon, and the May the Christmas season fill your home sentiment stamp from the Saint Nicholas stamp set. The tag is made with Crumb Cake cardstock and the sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink.

This A2 card (measurements: 4.25″ x 5.5″) highlights three different sheets of the Saint Nicholas Designer Series Paper (DSP). The card base is Mossy Meadow cardstock, the next layer on the card (measurements: 4″ x 5.25″) is Wild Wheat, and then I used two different DSP patterns (one Mossy Meadow print (measurements 3.75″ x 3.5″) and the other one is a Cajun Craze print (measurements: 3.75″ x 1.5″). The Wild Wheat strip of cardstock that is over the DSP is 1″ x 4″). The measurements of the Wild Wheat mat behind Saint Nicholas is 2.5″ x 4.5″ and the white cardstock is 2.25″ x 4.25″. The Saint Nicholas image was fussy cut from the DSP. Lastly, the Merry Christmas sentiment that I used is a part of the Stampin’ Up! Rocking Horse stamp set. I used Cajun Craze ink to stamp the sentiment and then fussy cut it out.

If you’d like to make these two projects, the supplies are listed below. Happy stamping!

O Holy Night

The Stampin’ Up O Holy Night suite is just beautiful. This first card is one of the cards in the Stampin Up September – December 2023 Mini Catalog that when I saw it, I knew I would have to make it. I decided to use the Night of Navy & Gold 1/2″ inch ribbon behind the sentiment layer to add a little pizzaz to the card. For the card base I used Night of Navy cardstock, the sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy, the beautiful star was stamped on Boho Blue cardstock with Misty Moonlight ink.

This next card I had fun creating the Christmas Nativity scene. I chose to use various colors for it. I used Pebble Path cardstock for the shepherd, wise man, and sheep in the back area, Basic Black cardstock for Mary, Joseph, and the manger, Pecan Pie cardstock for the camel, Cajun Craze cardstock for the donkey, Very Vanilla cardstock for the two sheep in the front, Crumb Cake cardstock for the stable, Basic White cardstock for the deckled circle moon, and Boho Blue cardstock for the stars.

Below is a list of supplies I used to create these two beautiful cards:
