I love using products differently from the way you might initially think of. Like changing up the colors, as I have for today’s card. The metallic Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) lends itself to metallics and neutrals, but I decided to pair it with a couple of bright colors: Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay.
Here’s what I made:

Happy Christmas Eve! Santa is loading his sleigh and getting ready for his big ride tonight. Whether you are home or visiting, with family or friends, wherever you are, I wish you a very Merry and Safe Christmas!
Last year I was fortunate enough to earn Stampin’ Up!’s incentive trip to Thailand. The trip was this past July. While we were there we were given the 2017 Holiday Catalog (a month before anyone else, and two months before the catalog went live for customers!) We also got to do some fantastic Make & Take projects using the new products. Today’s card made with products from the Year of Cheer Suite was one of those. I’ve used some of the same products to decorate a small tin with a clear top.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Crumb Cake card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 5″ x 4-1/4″
- Champagne Foil Sheet cut to 4-1/2″ x 1″
- Whisper White CS cut to 2″ x 3/4″

Stamped with the Cheers to the Year stamp set:
- sentiment in Early Espresso ink onto the Whisper White CS strip
- starburst design in Early Espresso ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
Die cut using the Layering Circle Framelits:
- starburst design from the scrap of Whisper White CS
- a scrap of Champagne Foil Sheet
Die cut using the Trim Your Stocking Thinlits:
- snowflake from the Champagne Foil circle
Assembled the card:
- notches cut in the ends of the sentiment strip with Paper Snips
- large DSP layer adhered to the front of the card base with Fast Fuse
- Champagne Foil strip adhered to the DSP layer with Fast Fuse
- silver Foil Snowflake adhered to the foil strip with Fast Fuse (it’s easier to put the Fast Fuse on the strip, then stick the snowflake to it, instead of trying to apply the Fast Fuse to the snowflake)
- Basic Black Baker’s Twine tied in a bow and adhered to the snowflake with Mini Glue Dots, so it will stick out from under the upper layers
- a Year of Cheer Embellishment adhered to the snowflake with Mini Glue Dots, so it will stick out from under the upper layers
- starburst die cut adhered to the snowflake with Stampin’ Dimensionals
- sentiment glued to the starburst die cut
Decorated the tin:
- wrapped the DSP strip around the tin and secured it with Fast Fuse
- adhered the snowflake cut foil circle to the clear part of the lid with Fast Fuse

Silver and gold, silver and gold. Remember the song from the old Rudolph animated show? If you’re in the mood for some holiday glitz, you can make this very easy card using a Silver Foil Sheet, the metallic Year of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape, and Year of Cheer Embellishments. The Winter Wonder Textured Impressions Embossing Folder provides the focal point, and the greeting from the Cheers to the Year stamp set is heat embossed in gold to continue the shiny, metallic theme. Click on the image below to see the entire Year of Cheer Suite of products.

This time of year we all have lots of parties and events to attend. A bottle of wine (or fancy vinegar, or flavored oil, or…) is the most common host gift to take. Make it extra special with a beautiful cover you made yourself. You’ll feel proud to give the gift, and they will appreciate it so much more. And this cover is deceptively easy to make! You can see another one I made recently here.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 11″ x 12
- scored along the 11″ side at 1-3/4″, 3-1/2″, 5-1/4″, 7″, 8-3/4″, 10-1/2″
- scored along the 12″ side at 2″ and 10″
Cut using Paper Snips, according to the diagram:
- removed two smallest rectangles, and angled the leftover tab (in blue)
- cut vertical score lines along the bottom just up to the first horizontal score line
- marked along the top side at 7/8″, 2-5/8″, 4-3/8″, 6-1/8″, 7-7/8″, and 9-5/8″
- cut from marks to the intersections of the vertical score lines and the first horizontal score line – this cuts away the green areas
- used a 1/4″ circle punch to cut a hole in each triangle, about 1/2″ or so from the top – you may want to use a smaller circle punch, like the 1/8″, depending on the size of your ribbon
Stamped with the Cheers to the Year stamp set:
- sentiment in Versamark ink onto a piece of Whisper White card stock (CS), then heat embossed in silver
Die cut using the Layering Circles Framelits:
- sentiment
- a scrap of Copper Foil Sheet
Assembled the project:
- skinny tab on one side of the bottle cover adhered to the inside of the other end of the cover with Fast Fuse
- bottle inserted into the cover to make the next step easier:
- folded in one of the bottom tabs, then adhered the opposite tab to it with Fast Fuse, making sure the tabs lined up with each other
- repeated this step for the remaining two pairs of tabs, adhering them all together
- ran a 22″ piece of ribbon through each hole in the top triangles, always front to back, then pulled it tight (not too hard or you’ll tear the paper) and tied a bow
- sentiment adhered onto the Copper circle with Fast Fuse
- adhered sentiment to the cover with Stampin’ Dimensionals
NOTE 1: I prefer to use dry adhesives (like Fast Fuse, Tear & Tape, and Stampin’ Dimensionals) on slick papers like the metallic foils.
NOTE 2: If you’d like to make the cover from solid color card stock, and add panels of DSP to it, each DSP panel should be 1-1/2″ x 7-3/4″.
