Christmas Card for September 2026

 I didn't want to forget to post a Christmas card again, when I have so many current Christmas products to choose from!

The first card was made with the gold foiled wreath I showed in my foiling video on September 14th.  After foiling the wreath on Basic Beige cardstock, I used a water painter and from the ink pad lids (Peaceful Pine and Cherry Cobbler) to color the leaves and berries.  I wouldn't want to do this for 100 Christmas cards, that's a lot of steps per card.  But  making 10 cards like this would be manageable.

I used another sketch on these 2 Christmas cards.  I very much prefer and am inspired by sketches with several elements/shapes on them.  That allows me to use Designer Series Paper or cardstock (stamped or embossed).  I tend not to change shapes very often, as you notice.

This second card features the Whispering Woods Designer Series Paper, our Product Give Back this year.  For each pack of DSP sold, Stampin' Up! is donating $3 to charities that will help spread cheer during the holiday season.

I used Azure Afternoon and Pretty Peacock with 3 patterns of in the pack.

How would you use this sketch?  Happy Stampin'!
