Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Prepare to be charmed by the heartwarming holiday spirit embodied in this adorable Christmas card created with the “Gift of Giving” stamp set and “Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper” from Stampin’ Up!

The “Gift of Giving” stamp set features endearing images, perfect for conveying the warmest wishes of the season. Pairing it with the “Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper” adds a touch of festive elegance, with its rich colors and sparkling accents.

  • Vanilla: Scrap for Santa

Instructions:

  • Glue the Navy Star DSP to the card front.
  • Cut the two squares from the Vanilla Star DSP.
  • Pierce two holes into the smallest square, as shown.  Take a length (8”) of the Night of Navy & Gold Glitter Ribbon and cut it lengthways into 4 thin strips.  Thread one of the small strips through the holes from the back.  Take the other three strips and wrap them around your fingers.  Carefully remove the ribbon from your fingers and squash the centre to create two loops (held with tweezers).  Place the loops on to the square and tie in place with the ribbon ends on the square.  Arrange the bow as you wish and trim the ends.
  • Stamp Santa in Memento ink and colour using Stampin’ Blends.  Cut out.
  • Attach the two squares (parcels) on to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
