I made a card to share with you today using the Ornament Keepsakes and More Merry Messages stamp sets from Stampin’ Up!  These are some of the holiday stamp sets that are still available but not in any catalog.  You can see these sets as well as several other holiday sets that are available but not in the catalog in my online store if you click here.

My card design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches 107.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the More Merry Messages stamp set in VersaMark ink on a Whisper White panel.  I sprinkled the sentiment with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and I heat embossed it.  I adhered the panel to a panel of the Gold Foil Sheet with SNAIL then to the Whisper White card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the ornament image rom the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set in VersaMark ink on a Whisper White panel, sprinkled it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder, heat embossed it and cut it out with the Holiday Ornaments Framelits die.  I adhered the ornament to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals then adhered a Frosted Finishes Embellishment with a Glue Dot.  I finished the card front by adding a row of rhinestones under the sentiment.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the More Merry Messages on a Whisper White panel in VersaMark ink, sprinkled it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it.  I adhered the panel with SNAIL then stamped one of the smaller ornaments from the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set on a Whisper White panel, sprinkled it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder, heat embossed it and cut it out with the matching Framelits die.  I adhered that ornament with SNAIL as well.
