Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments
My first Christmas card of the season. The card I am sharing is created using the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments stamp set and Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies.
The Krafty Chicks Challenge fits my card perfectly, so I am entering it. Their theme for this challenge is Christmas.
I am happy this stamp set carried over from last year’s July-December 2021 Mini and you can see why in the above photo. I had these all ready to put cards together and ended up in the hospital for 9 days and never finished my cards, so no one received a card last year. I saw these in the cabinet with my stamps and thought well this is current now, I will finish what was started a year ago, therefore, you are getting the first Christmas card of the season.
I started with a Soft Succulent card stock card base. To that, I added a panel of Evening Evergreen card stock embossed using the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder.
The Soft Succulent and Basic White embossed pieces are also cropped using one of the dies that come with the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder. You can crop and emboss at the same time. The Basic White embossed piece is matted over the Soft Succulent one.
The poinsettia, holly berries, and JOY are stamped in Real Red ink on Basic White then cropped using dies from the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder. The holly leaves and sprigs are stamped in Old Olive and Soft Succulent ink.
Sprigs are cropped from Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen card stock. All the elements are arranged and adhered to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. Three Rhinestone Basic Jewels are colored using a Dark Real Red Stampin’ Blends Marker and popped on the card front. The word JOY is stamped in Real Red ink, cropped, and popped on the card front.
A sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments stamp set is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on a Basic White card stock panel. Holly leaves and berries are popped in the lower corner.
A Basic White medium envelope gets a panel of 2021-2023 In Color DSP adhered to the envelope flap.

Such a pretty card Shirley! Yay for having your first Christmas card done already! 🙂
Amy, you are so sweet, thank you.
Beautiful card, Shirley! 🙂
Oh, Shirley, this is wonderful. I have so many muffin papers. I used to make muffins when Perry and Gene were alive and I don’t eat them. I now have a way to use them rather than putting them in the recycling bin! I was so happy to know this set was returned to the living!
Thanks, so much Karen, for stopping by. I can’t wait to see your card with this set.
