I used the Stampin’ Up! Words Of Cheer stamp set bundle to create a Christmas card to share with you today.

My card design was inspired by My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge 557.

I started by adhering a panel of Tidings Of Cheer 6″ x 6″ DSP to the front of a Soft Succulent card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I adhered another panel of Tidings Of Cheer DSP to a panel of Cherry Cobbler card stock with Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the larger flower image and the holly leaves images from the Words Of Cheer photopolymer stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then colored the images with Light and Dark Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent, Crumb Cake and Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut the images out with the coordinating Christmas Cheer Dies and then trimmed the edge of one side of the larger die cut.  I adhered the die cut image with Mini Glue Dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Words Of Cheer stamp set in VersaMark Ink on a strip of Cherry Cobbler card stock, sprinkled it with gold embossing powder from the Metallics Embossing Powders and then heat embossed it.  I punched the end of the card stock strip with the Banners Pick A Punch and then adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added three Gilded Gems near to the card front to finish it.

I stamped the sentiment, holly leaves and berry images from the Words Of Cheer stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and Evening Evergreen inks and then colored the leaves with Light and Dark Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends Markers to finish the inside of the card.

You can see a list of supplies used to create this project, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.

I’ve created a printable PDF with written instructions and a list of products used to create this project.  You can download, print and/or save it by clicking this image:
