Christmas Classics Comfort & Joy

I have had so much fun using a bunch of my retired Christmas product this year. I have new stuff to use that I haven't even touched. I think I'm afraid of it lol. I don't know what to do with it. The retired stuff has been loved and used and I'm familiar with it. I'm gonna have to break into some of my new stuff soon, but for now, enjoy this Christmas Classics card. I CASEd this card from Anne Marie Hile (Stampin' Anne on social media).

Luxe Birthday

I used a Creative Collab Crew sketch that I found on Pinterest for this card. It looks like someone took a screenshot of an Instagram post by @emkcreationsil and pinned it. That's all I know, but this is a great sketch. I have definitely made cards with this design before, but it's very handy to have measurements so you don't have to figure it out again later. 

Don't forget, this lovely foiled DSP is the September 2026 Product of the Month for Stampin' Up! and once it sells out, it is gone forever. You get 12 sheets (4 each of 3 colors/designs) for just $5 with a qualifying $75 USD purchase right now!




Cardstock:
Very Vanilla: 8-1/2" X 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" and folded in half on the long side, my die cut is 3-1/2" X 2", optional panel on the inside is 4-1/2" X 5-3/8"
If you didn't want to buy 12 sheets of this color, you could get the Exploring Nature Two-Tone Cardstock Variety Pack instead.

Luxe Note

I love to take a square die cut and turn it to make a diamond. I think it's a fun look and somewhat different than your average, everyday card. And I'm loving these new Tile Garden decorative square dies! I hope they stay around forever. They'll be used just as much as my beloved circle version--the Spotlight on Nature Dies.
