There are so many ways to experience joy – we feel joy when loved ones are married, when babies are born and when achievements are made. During the holidays, we remember and celebrate the joy of family, food and fellowship. There’s never a bad time to bask in the joy of life.
I’ve created a joy-filled card for you today, but first I want to make sure you are aware of today’s Free Shipping promotion – OH, JOY!
Today only! During this promotion, Stampin’ Up! is offering FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $50. I LOVE to get more product for the money I spend. With the exception of a month-to-month Paper Pumpkin, this offer extends to everything you can add to an order. What an exciting deal!

Here’s a joy-filled card I made for Christmas and for today’s big promotion:
I used the Label Me Fancy Punch to build five frames for my important letters. I want to share a bit about how I built these frames, but first – here’s a look at the Label Me Fancy Punch:
Each of the letters on my card were framed on three punches from the Label Me Fancy Punch:
- I punched the label with a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock.
- I punched the label with a piece of Basic White (I cropped the piece to ensure the white piece was the exact width as the Mossy Meadow piece). From the middle section of the cutout, I cropped a 1-1/8″ chunk (making a 1-1/8″ square).
- I punched the label with a piece of Pear Pizzazz (again, I cropped the piece to ensure the white piece was the exact width as the Mossy Meadow and Basic White pieces). From the middle section of the cutout, I cropped a 1″ chunk (making a 1-1/8″ x 1″ piece that fit perfectly on the other elements).
- I glued a single letter on each
It was a lot easier for me to center these letters on the Label Me Fancy Punch cutouts and to center these cutouts on the card than it would have been to center the letters on a cardfront. Oh, Joy!
If you really want to get the most of the Free Shipping promotion (and I know you do), you could (just maybe) pick up the Label Me Fancy Punch and the Playful Alphabet Dies. Here’s a look at these incredible dies:
Do you love this combination of Real Red, Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow?! I think it’s pretty spectacular – and that’s why I’ve used it so often during the Holidays. If you are inspired by this mix of colors, I’d love for you to save this for future reference:

Thanks so much, Hilda! I started with a Designer Series Paper pattern I love, but it was too much. So glad you like the finished design. ♥
I thought I had this clever punch (because I have lots of punches ) but NO I DON`T !
Thank you for all the details on how you built your cute title because I am inspired !
So now I will order that PUNCH !!
Really cute card !!
Thanks so much, Sonny! This was a fun card to build. Glad you like it. ♥
Super cool card and Yay for free shipping!
Right?! Free shipping is such fun. Thanks, my friend!
What a FUN way to use this punch. Your card is full of holiday JOY!!!!
Thanks, Kadie! I was so happy to have this punch – it was so much easier to line up everything with the punch vs. floating letters. ♥
You must use a micrometer to place your lettering. It is always so absolutely perfect! LOL Love this card – it embellishes the reason for the season perfectly! As always a magnificent job my friend.
Thank you so much, Grace! I must look up this micrometer of which you speak. 🙂 I always struggle to get them placed exactly as I want – but then I angle the card so you can’t see where it might be off a bit. 🙂
