FREE Card Class: 6 Quick & Easy Cards with Stampin' Up! Shining Christmas Designer Paper

In honor of World Card Making Day, I designed six quick cards using the same greeting piece and versatile card layouts that will work with any designer paper! I shared the cards in an unplanned video and ended up making six cards in under 30 minutes! 

These sweet and simple card designs are perfect for new stampers! If they are too simple for you, add some layers (I recommend adding 1/4" to each side to cut a layer for any of the designier paper pieces), additional images, ribbon, and/or embellishments to customize these cards to your personal taste. 

 Here are the quick and easy basic cards that I created using the new Shining Christmas designer paper -- a Stampin' Up! Online Exclusive -- plus the sentiment from Throughout the Year.

For each card, you’ll need a 5 ½” x 8 ½” Card Base (scored and folded in half at 4 ¼”) and a 1” x 3 ½” piece of white cardstock for the greeting. I used six 6" x 6" pieces of coordinating designer paper and had scraps leftover to decorate envelopes, use inside the cards, or save for future projects.

VIDEO: Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Cards

Happy World Card Making Day! Stampin' Up! celebrated the first Saturday in October with a special virtual event free for everyone to view! During the event, there were presentations and stamp along demonstrations featuring three different bundles: Circles Sayings and Earthen Textures from the Annual Catalog and a brand new bundle -- Heartfelt Hexagons. This new stamp set and punch bundle is coming soon in the January-April 2024 Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog.

I paired the new bundle with the Delightful Floral Designer Paper -- a limited edition special release paper that coordinates with the Translucent Floral bundle from the Sept-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog. I think the soft watercolor floral images coordinating nicely with the images and sentiments in the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set.

I used a favorite card layout to create these cards with two 2" x 4" pieces of coordinating designer paper. The sympathy cards use Lemon Lime Twist and Pretty Peacock -- which version do you prefer? Leave a comment and let me know!

I also made a third version of the card with other patterns from the Delightful Floral designer paper. This design uses Bubble Bath and Berry Burst.
