Traditions of Christmas Sneak Peek

This card is a sneak peek at the new Traditions of Christmas suite in the Sept-Dec Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog, and one of my favorite suites in this catalog. The gorgeous imagery on the Designer Series Paper is to die for, and speaking of dies, the coordinating ones cut out the bouquets of flowers on 2 of the papers. The suite includes 2 bundles, one for sentiments and label dies, like you see above. The second bundle is bouquet and flower images with other beautiful stand alone and coordinating dies. The suite also includes the above embellishments that come in 3 different sizes and 3 different colors.

If you are not already working with a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and need this new catalog, or want to place an order, please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com. Or to order click on the Robin above left and it will take you to my online store. Don't forget to come watch me make another card next Monday at 1 pm PST on Facebook at Stamp with Dr Robin, and you can watch me make this card (and learn about other items in this catalog) by clicking the link below. 

Let's make this card! Gather your supplies:

1. Pretty in Pink cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 11" scored at 5 1/2" and 2 3/4"
2. Basic White cardstock--cut 2 of this die cut from the Traditional Labels dies
3. Traditions of Christmas Specialty DSP--front panel is 2 1/2" by 4", inside piece is 4" by 5 1/4", die cut out one of the bouquets from the DSP also
4. Stamp sets--Traditional Labels
5. Dies--Traditional Labels, Christmas Greenery
6. Ink--Real Red
7. Traditional Sparkling Gems 
8. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue and Seal+), Paper Trimmer, Stamp, Cut and Emboss Machine, Take Your Pick Tool,  Piercing Mat or Glass Mat Studio, Regular Dimensionals

Start by folding your card base in half, and then fold the 2 3/4" score line back towards the front. Attach the smaller piece of DSP to the front of the card and the larger one inside.

Stamp the front sentiment (notice I put two of the sentiments together on the same block) in Real Red--stamp toward the right side of the die cut. 

Attach just the left side of the sentiment piece to the front with Dimensionals and then glue on the bouquet. Adhere 2 of the gold Traditional Sparkling Gems  under the sentiment.


Attach the second label to the inside--I like to do this by putting my adhesive on the label, then holding it right under the front label and closing up the card. This way the label aligns with the front label and doesn't stick out. You can watch this below in my video if that doesn't make sense. 



Below is my Facebook Live from 8/25/25 (uploaded to YouTube as Facebook now deletes them after 30 days) where I make this card, and show you some tips to help with the cardmaking. Join me every Monday at 1 pm PST for some cardmaking fun over on Stamp with Dr Robin on Facebook. Or follow me on YouTube with the same name (be sure to hit the Subscribe button while you are there). And let me know if you have questions by emailing me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com. You can click on the red Robin above left to order from my store. 


Happy Stampin'

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...

Sentimental Christmas Fun Fold Card I think the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper is just so soft, beautiful and a little bit retro. I also love that for every pack of this paper you buy, Stampin' Up will donate $3 to children's literacy in the US, which makes it twice as nice. So please buy this DSP! It makes such lovely cards--I used 3 different DSPs on this one card. And I am not sure you can tell by looking at the picture above, but it is a fun fold too! If you get stuck, or are just a more visual learner, please watch my Facebook Live below where I made this card. Then come back every Monday at 1 pm PST to make another card with me. Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Lost Lagoon cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 7 1/4" scored on the long side at 4 1/4".  2. Basic White cardstock--a piece 4" by 5 1/4" for the inside of your card and 3/4" scrap about 4" long 3. Poppy Parade cardstock--a piece cut with the 7th largest...
