Happy Christmas with Words of Cheer

Yesterday I shared a Halloween with the Little Delights stamp set, one of my favorite (and most-used) stamp sets in Stampin’ Up!’s July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. Today I’m sharing a Christmas card with one of my favorite (and most-used) bundles from the same catalog. – Words of Cheer. Love, love, love! Here’s my card:

Words of Cheer, Stampin Up!, Brian King, Christmas cardI’ve loved working with the amazing sentiments and incredible dies in the Words of Cheer Bundle. I’ve steered away from the large (and gorgeous) arrangement of flowers at the heart of this set because it doesn’t have a die to cut it out – EXCEPT THAT IT DOES. I guess I was spending so much energy admiring the word dies in the set (they are really great!) that I looked right past the die that cuts out this beautiful arrangement. Yay! Here’s a look at the Words of Cheer Bundle that really should come to live with you:

Words of Cheer Bundle, Stampin Up! 156389I colored the arrangement with a beautiful mix of Stampin’ Blends – I used Poppy Parade, Evening Evergreen, Old Olive and Pool Party blends to color in the image before cutting it out with the Christmas Cheer Dies. Here’s a closer look:

Words of Cheer, Stampin Up!, Brian King, Christmas cardThe sentiment on my card is stamped with the Words of Cheer stamp set (I masked off the remainder of the sentiment with tape after I inked up the stamp) and cropped it with one of the for-sentiment dies in the Beautiful Trees Dies, part of the Beauty of Friendship Bundle in Stampin’ Up!’s 2021 Annual Catalog (links to this bundle are included below).

I mounted my bouquet and sentiment on a beautiful Pool Party design from the Sweet Stockings Designer Series Papers. The pale blue pattern looks great against the green background panels and allows the Poppy Parade flowers to really pop. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper:

    Also, I love my swatch books that I’ve ordered from you, they are super handy to look at what colors coordinate with the DSP!
