Today I’m sharing a sweet-and-simple Christmas card that features some of my favorite products from Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Annual Catalog. The Seasonal Chums stamp set is carried over from last year’s Holiday Catalog, and the Another Wonderful Year stamp set and Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper are new this year. Here’s my card:
- 10% Off Today. The two stamp sets I’ve featured on today’s card are 10% today and tomorrow during Stampin’ Up!’s Online Extravaganza. How fun is that?!

- More Sale Items. I stamped this adorable deer, cropped him with the Seasonal Tags Framelits Dies (and snipped his antlers since the dies crop two deer at a time with a fold at the top). I colored him with a mix of Stampin’ Blends (Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, Real Red and Smoky Slate). I cropped the sentiment with a circle from my Layering Circles Framelits Dies. Here’s a closer look at the focal image of this card:
As fate would have it, Stampin’ Up!’s third sale (from November 27 and 28) includes Tools and Ink – and all of the products I mentioned above will be included in that sale. Framelits and Stampin’ Blends will be available at a 10% discounts while supplies last. Don’t wait! Make your list now. To read my post about this sale, CLICK HERE.
- Classic Christmas. This simple card is filled with many classic Christmas colors – Crumb Cake, Real Red, Old Olive, Early Espresso and Basic Black make appearances. While Crumb Cake and Early Espresso (in the background pattern) are gorgeous browns here, the green, red and black are striking. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper:

The little deer is precious and you used one of my favorite holiday sentiment stamps!
Thanks, Mary! I love this little deer – I don’t really have to work too much to make him adorable. This is one of the best sentiment stamp sets ever. <3
Cute card, Brian. I love the plaid DSP. Have a great day!
Thanks so much, Hilda! I’m always drawn to plaid patterns at Christmas. So happy you like it.
This is such a sweet card Brian. I love how you added in the black mattes.
Thanks so much, Dawn! I’ll confess, I thought the plaid had black in it (it’s Early Espresso), but I still like how the black borders turned out. <3
Perfect card with the plaid!
Thanks, Windy! <3
That deer is just so cute. Plaid is the perfect complement for him. Nicely done, my friend!
Thanks so much, Dianne! <3 I love this little guy and love to give him the limelight every once in a while. Such a cute set!
Seasonal Chums is one of my favorite stamp sets, the chums add a cute vocal point to an easy card. AND, the plaid is icing on the cake!
The entire set is adorable – I couldn’t agree more. So glad you like my card, Katrina! <3
Simple, sweet, sensational card today Brian. The black layering really makes everything stand out! Love it.
Thanks so much, Grace! If you ever want to compliment me, tell me I’m kind or that my layers are great. <3
I love it , he’s my fav little guy, and YOU made him look HANDSOME.

Hugs my friend ♥️
Thanks so much, Frenchie! I’m so glad you like him – I think he’s rather handsome, too. <3 Always love to hear from you.
Seasonal Chums is one of my favorite holiday sets, and I love the cute little deer paired with that gorgeous plaid paper. Love, love, love!
Thanks so much, Nina! I love this little deer, too. The bell and bow are so sweet. Thanks for your comments. <3
I really love this layout! Please share layer dimensions. You are always an inspiration to me
Thanks, Tracy! The DSP layer is 5″ x 3/-3/4″ (and the border is just 1/8″ longer and wider). The red layer is 4″ x 2-3/4.” So glad you like it.
