On the TA September Blog Hop, we are sharing some of our favorite products from the 2017 Holiday Catalog. It’s impossible for me to narrow it down to just one…or two…or three… But for today I decided to go with the Merry Little Christmas Mega Suite.
There are so many wonderfully coordinated products in this suite, for card making AND gift wrapping! It includes the Merry Little Labels Bundle (Merry Little Labels stamp set and Everyday Label Punch,) the Carols of Christmas Bundle (Carols of Christmas stamp set and Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies,) Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) and coordinating 12″ x 12″ card stock (CS) pack, Merry Music Specialty DSP, 7/8″ Striped Ribbon, Acetate Card Boxes, Green Sprigs, Jute Twine, and Mini Ornaments. Holy cow, that’s a lot of cool stuff!
Here’s what I made:
I used some of the products from the Mega Suite to make this gift box
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
12″ x 12″ Kraft card stock (CS) scored 3″ from each side, then one score line at each corner cut (the center section should be 6″ x 6″)
Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 9-9/16″ x 9-9/16″, then scored 1-3/4″ from each side, then one score line at each corner cut (the center section should be 6-1/16″ x 6-1/16″)
This is the same basic diagram for both pieces. Cut solid lines and score dotted lines.
Stamped with the Merry Little Labels stamp set:
sentiment in Basic Black ink onto a scrap of Kraft CS
Die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits:
sentiment with an oval die
Die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits:
scalloped oval from Basic Black CS, just a little bigger than the sentiment oval
Assembled the box:
folded all score lines on both pieces of paper and burnished with a Bone Folder
glued the tab at each corner to the inside of the adjacent side – do this for all four corner and for both pieces of paper
put the lid on the box, then wrapped Jute Twine around it and tied a bow
glued the sentiment oval onto the Basic Black CS scalloped oval
adhered the sentiment to the top of the box using Stampin’ Dimensionals, being careful not to put any along the center, so the twine can slide underneath
Here’s the hop:

My card today for the ICS Blog Hop is made with the new Carols of Christmas Bundle (Carols of Christmas stamp set and card Front Builder Thinlits Dies) and Pear Pizzazz 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon. You can preorder this new bundle now – before the 2017 Holiday Catalog goes live September 1!
This month’s theme for the ICS Blog Hop is Knotty Ways with Ribbon for Christmas, highlighting the wonderful Christmas products and ribbons by Stampin’ Up! While I didn’t actually tie my ribbon in knots, I hope you’ll like what I came up with.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
Whisper White Thick card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
Pear Pizzazz CS cut to a triangle 3″ wide and 4-3/4″ tall (see diagram, cut away yellow areas)
Stamped with the Carols of Christmas stamp set:
ornaments and flowers in Powder Pink ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
leaves in Pear Pizzazz ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
sentiment in Pear Pizzazz ink onto the inside of the card base
Die cut using the Card Front Builder Thinlits:
the stamped ornaments, flowers, and leaves
Die cut using the Layering Circles Framelits:
Pear Pizzazz CS with the smallest circle die
Assembled the card:
applied Fast Fuse adhesive to one side of the Pear Pizzazz CS triangle
starting at the bottom of the triangle, stuck ribbon to the triangle, going back and forth across it, working my way up
adhered the ends of the ribbon to the back of the triangle with Fast Fuse
applied Fast Fuse to one side of the Pear Pizzazz CS circle
stuck flowers to the circle to cover it
adhered the flower tree topper to the top of the ribbon tree with Fast Fuse
used Fast Fuse to adhere the tree to the front of the card base, and used a Stampin’ Dimensional under the top part of the tree topper
double leaves glued around the pink flower topper
single leaves glued amongst the pink flowers
pearls applied to centers of flowers
ornaments adhered to the tree with Mini Glue Dots
exposed area of the front of the card base covered with Clear Wink of Stella
NOTE: I suggest using Shimmery White CS as the card base – then you don’t have to use the Wink of Stella! I think I applied a bit too much Wink of Stella to this card. It looks a bit uneven, and even muddy, when the light hits it just right (or just wrong?)

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s July Blog Hop! It’s Christmas in July, and today’s Blog Hop is filled with projects inspired by … you guessed it … Christmas! What fun! Although Stampin’ Up!’s 2017 Holiday Catalog will be released to demonstrators this week (we can’t wait to share that with you), our Annual Catalog is filled with fun, festive and beautiful products to make Christmas special, such as the new Merry Mistletoe stamp set and the new Be Merry Designer Series Paper. We are excited to share our creations with you today. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Here’s what I made:
The Be Merry Designer Series Paper colors are Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, and Garden Green. For today’s card, I decided to replace Garden Green with Pear Pizzazz for a softer feel. What do you think?
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
Pear Pizzazz card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″
Whisper White CS cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
Be Merry Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
Whisper White CS cut to 2-1/2″ x 3-3/4″
Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″, for the inside
Stamped with the Merry Mistletoe stamp set:
deer and mistletoe in Pear Pizzazz ink onto the 2-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ Whisper White CS
sentiment onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
Die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits:
sentiment
one size larger oval from a scrap of Cherry Cobbler CS
two sizes larger oval from a scrap of Pear Pizzazz CS
Cut using the 1/16″ Circle Punch:
three circles from a scrap of Cherry Cobbler CS
Assembled the card:
5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ Whisper White CS glued onto the front of the card base
DSP glued onto the 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ Whisper White CS
2-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ Whisper White CS (stamped with deer and mistletoe) glued onto the DSP
three ovals glued together, then glued onto the DSP and stamped piece
applied three small Cherry Cobbler Enamel Dots in the corner above the deer
glued 1/16″ circles: 2 to the sentiment, and one to the deer
went over the mistletoe berries with a white chalk marker, to give them that “white with a green tinge” that real mistletoe berries have
5-1/4″ x 4″ Whisper White CS glued to the inside of the card base
