Sending Good Tidings

Simple can be beautiful. I paired my favorite stamp set from Stampin’ Up!’s September-December 2023 Mini Catalog with a simple layout and a gorgeous panel of Designer Series Paper to make the card I’m sharing with you today. The color combination is pretty special, too. Here’s the Christmas card I’m sharing with you today:

Joy to You, A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper, Stampin Up!, Brian King, Christmas card

I love a great sentiment stamp set – Joy to You is filed with BIG, BOLD sentiments that are perfect for any Christmas cards. With a little masking, each of the four sentiments can be broken into smaller sentiments, too (“SENDING GOOD TIDINGS IN THIS SEASON OF CHEER” could be “SENDING GOOD TIDINGS” or “GOOD TIDINGS” or “SEASON OF CHEER” – that’s three for one! Here’s a look at this stamp set that will be retiring at the end of this catalog period or when supplies run out:

Joy to You, Stampin Up!, 162090The sentiment, stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink, is the focal point of my card, but it wouldn’t be nearly as striking without the gorgeous panel of pine needles, pine cones and berries behind it. This page is pulled from the A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper, which will also be retiring at the end of this catalog or when supplies run out.

A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper, Stampin Up!, 162377My card was designed quickly, using a card I shared in March 2021. It’s a very different card, but you can see how today’s card was inspired by this one (you can click on the image below if you’d like to see my original post for this project):

You Are Amazing, Playful Alphabet Dies, Stampin Up!, Brian King Do you love the rich mix of Regal colors in this page of the A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper? I do! If you like this combination of Cherry Cobbler, Pretty Peacock and Garden Green as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:
