I used the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Pines stamp set with a little of the Color Theory DSP Stack to create a CAS holiday card to share with you today.
My card design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #289.
The shimmer on my card was inspired by Less is More #330.
I started by stamping the snowflake image from the Colorful Seasons photopolymer stamp set (available June 1) randomly over a Dapper Denim card base in Dapper Denim ink.
Then I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Pines photopolymer stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel from the Color Theory DSP Stack. I sprinkled it with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder and I heat embossed. I adhered the DSP panel to a panel of Silver Foil Sheets and then to the card front with SNAIL.
I cut three snowflakes with the Seasonal Layers Framelits Dies (available June 1) from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper. I adhered the die cut snowflakes to the card front with touches of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added two silver enamel dots from the Metallic Enamel Shapes pack to finish the card front.
I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Pines stamp set in Dapper Denim and the snowflakes from the Colorful Seasons stamp set in Soft Sky ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock inside the card.
You can see a list of supplies used, including card stock cuts, to create this card at the very bottom of this blog post.

Love this card. Hard to think that we are closing in on 6 months ’til Christmas. Better start now on those cards!
Thanks Julie! I know…Christmas will be here before we know it! 🙂
Great CAS card, thanks for the inspiration
Thanks Sue! 🙂
Beautiful Christmas-in-May card! I don’t want to think about Christmas yet. So I’m not going to! But – if I WERE thinking about Christmas I’d be wanting to make this lovely, perfectly made card! 🙂
Thanks Mary! I don’t want to think about Christmas either…but I know how many cards I need to get made and I know that I need to get going on them very soon to get them all done!! 🙂
Great card Amy. The Color Theory dsp paper stack is proving to be very versatile. I can not wait to get those dies, unfortunately my budget said I had to, lol.
Thanks Robbye! It’s an awesome die set…definitely a must have just as soon as your budget will allow! 🙂
Fabulous card, Amy! Loving the classy design and gorgeous shimmer. Very stylish! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More 🙂

I had to get the catalog back out and look at those dies again. How gorgeous! Christmas isn’t on my radar yet but it’s a beautiful card. TFS
Thanks Susan, it’s a fantastic bundle! 🙂
Love it. And it certainly seems appropriate for me today. Everything on the news is talking about beginning of summary, holiday, picnics and beaches–and I’m at work with the heater on! Your card certainly fits the weather here!
Thanks Mary! It’s cold and windy in Iowa today too so the card seems appropriate for the weather here too! 🙂

I love the shades of blue in your card, Amy, and the touches of shimmer create a wonderful frosty look! I am hoping for a bit more sunshine before I need to think about snowflakes but your shimmery ones are lovely 🙂 Thank you so much for playing along with us at Less is More this week.
