I used the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Tidings stamp set from the upcoming September-December 2025 Mini Catalog to create a CAS Christmas card to share with you today. I also created this card in a quick video out on YouTube this morning and you can see that video right here.
My card design was loosely inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #699.
My card was also inspired by Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges #199.
I started by stamping the swag image from the Joyful Tidings stamp set (available September 3) in Early Espresso ink on a panel of Basic Beige card stock. I colored the image with the Light and Dark Old Olive, Timid Tiger and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers.
I embossed the panel with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered the embossed panel to a panel of Pecan Pie card stock with Stampin’ Seal and then to the front of an Early Espresso card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Joyful Tidings stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Early Espresso card stock, sprinkled it with gold embossing powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder and then heat embossed it.
I cut the sentiment out with banner die from the Paper Tags Dies (Online Exclusive item) and then cut a second banner from Pecan Pie card stock with that same die. I adhered the two die cuts together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then adhered the die cuts to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered two Pressed Flower Motifs to the card front to finish it.
I stamped the sentiment and swag images from the Joyful Tidings stamp set in Early Espresso and Garden Green inks on a panel of Basic Beige card stock to finish the inside of the card.
