CASE-ing a Festive Card with the Traditions of Christmas Suite

The card I chose to CASE today is the bottom right design with the three teacups. I loved the clean and simple layout, so I decided to recreate it using the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! ®.

This is a simple card design where the Designer Series Paper (DSP) really does most of the work, with just a few die-cut images to add interest. The only stamping is the sentiment, created with the Traditional Labels stamp set and coordinating dies.

The card I decided to Case is the bottom right card with the 3 tea cups. I am using the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! ®.

This is a simple card, made using some Designer Series Paper and a few die cut images. The only stamping was the sentiment from the Traditional Labels with one of the coordinating dies.

Card Details

✨ Card Base & Background
The Cherry Cobbler card base is completely covered with the Cherry Cobbler Dot DSP, running edge to edge. To break it up, I layered a strip of the Poinsettia DSP down the center.

✨ Focal Point
For the poinsettia flower, you have two options: stamp and die cut, or simply cut the flower directly from the DSP. I chose the second option—it’s quick, easy, and still beautiful.

✨ Leaves & Holly
The leaves were die cut from the two-tone cardstock in Mossy Meadow and Old Olive. By flipping the cardstock and cutting from both sides, I was able to create variation in the tones of the holly leaves, giving extra depth and dimension.

✨ Sentiment
The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder—a perfect match for the gold foiling that runs through the Poinsettia DSP. To finish, I die cut the sentiment with one of the coordinating Traditional Label Dies.
