I used the Stampin’ Up! Merriest Moments stamp set and coordinating Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder Dies to create a quick Christmas card to share with you today.

My card design was inspired by CAS Colours & Sketches #489.

My card also works for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge TTTC181.  I went down the left side.

I started by cutting a panel of Boughs Of Holly DSP with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and then adhered the die cut panel to a panel of Mossy Meadow card stock with Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the layered panel to the Real Red card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Moments photopolymer stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Mossy Meadow card stock, sprinkled it with gold embossing powder from the Metallics Embossing Powders and then heat embossed it.  I cut the image out with one of the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder Dies and then adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the flower and leaf images from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Real Red, Sahara Sand and Mossy Meadow inks on Basic White card stock.  I cut the images out with the coordinating Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder Dies and then adhered the die cuts to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots.  I added three of the Festive Pearls to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiment, leaves and flower images from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Real Red, Mossy Meadow and Sahara Sand inks on a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.

I made this project out on Instagram this morning and you can see it here.

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:
