On a recent Live I created Christmas cards, traditional and contemporary, both of them using one suite of products from Stampin’ Up!
You can find the Tidings of Christmas Suite in the Annual Catalogue. The stamp and die combination allows you to create stockings and stars galore, with foliage to decorate. There is also a fabulous pack of 6″ x 6″ Designer Series papers in this suite.
Christmas Cards, Traditional and Contemporary
This first card uses some of the Designer Series paper and the two styles of stocking to create this card in Cherry Cobbler and Sahara Sand. One stamp creates the foliage pattern on the cardstock and conversely, the other lays down the colour leaving the pattern in the negative. The foliage I used in the these stockings was cut in Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent cardstock.
This card has a warm traditional feel to it and the layered scalloped border on the bottom adds a pretty feature. The chevron Evening Evergreen ribbon also adds some nice texture to the project.
The second card combines Polished Pink and Gorgeous Grape ink with silver foil and silver heat embossing to create a far more contemporary card. Blending and stamping is combined with die cuts and a nice swirl of Gorgeous Grape ribbon.
And of course you should never forget the inside of your cards.

You can see both these cards being created on this recording of my Live.
How Can I Help
I hope I have given you some inspiration if you have this bundle. However, if you don’t have it yet, I’m sure you are going to want it.
We are going to be using this Designer Series Paper in a couple of weeks at my next technique class. How to… Have Festive Fun with DSP. If you are here in the UK you can join the class in person, or order a kit through the post.
As always, don’t hesitate to get in touch if I can help in any way.
Meanwhile stay safe and stay well
