Hello! How have you been? I sure miss stamping with my Stampin’ Up! Artisan friends. A few of us are back informally hopping as the A-Team sharing HOLIDAY ideas. I am excited to see what my talented friends have created.

Do you craft much for the Holidays? I mainly make cards and tags. With that in mind it was hard to choose what to play with. Too many awesome choices for cards and tags. I pulled out the ‘Cup of Christmas’ bundle and intended to only make one card but ended up making a sweet and simple card set for the Holidays. I think these cards will make a darling gift.

All cards are 4.25 x 4.25”. Colors used: Flirty Flamingo, Soft Sea Foam, Poppy Parade, Whisper White, Basic Black and silver.

Cup of Christmas Candy Cane card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Tips and tricks: I have a little tip & trick to share for each card. Hope you can use in your crafting.

Let’s get to it! Loving this … I thought the Candy Cane card turned out super cute. It was super easy to make.

Tip: candy canes are slightly smaller than traced image.

Adhere dies cut candy canes onto colored canes.

Watercolor canes in darker Flirty Flamingo.

Cup of Christmas Mitten card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

The ‘Let is Snow’ embellishments are a cute addition with this set. Add the mittens for a simple and effective winter card. Use a brad to act as a hook to hang those mittens on. Snowman not required.

Cup of Christmas card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

YUM, yum! I love the look of a white and pink Christmas. Creating the candy cane in white and layering with Silver Glimmer paper adds a little white flair to the Flirty Flamingo polka dot mug. The poinsettia is colored using the technique I posted about earlier. You can see that post here.

Cup of Christmas Mistletoe card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Making Mistletoe: The sprig image comes from the dies included in this bundle. I cut out 5 of these and layered to create mistletoe. These are cut from Soft Sea Foam cardstock. Do you like that pink variegated bakers twine? I colored white baker’s twine with a Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blend.

Sa-weeet! I love that little candy cane heart. Cut a reverse candy cane and push those dies a little farther. Simply place the paper upside down and then cut using the die. In this case I placed the Silver Glimmer paper upside down and then cut. The Poppy Parade Candy cane was cut right side up and then flipped over afterward.
