The Gifts of Christmas stamp set is quickly become a new favourite. Besides the fact that it includes images and greetings, I appreciate how easy it is to use. The images are sized to create fast and easy cards. Like this one!
This card is a Flat Front Tri-Shutter and I can’t stop making them! Once you have made one and see how simple it is with the instructions below, I know you will be hooked.

Score a piece of 5-1/2” x 12” cardstock on long edge at 4″, 8″ and 10″.
Measure 1-1/4″ from both the top and bottom of the card, cutting from the 4″ score mark to the 10″ score mark.

Score top and bottom panels only at 6″.

This is it! My first “traditional” Christmas card. My first card this year using red and green. And the set is call Christmas Classics – how appropriate is that?!
For this card, I used the Merry Moments dsp again. It’s amazing how often I create a card using materials that are already on my desk. Sometimes it pays to not put things away when you are finished. Or, at least that’s what I tell myself.
I love how Stampin’ Up! plans stamp sets to coordinate with other products like the punches. The bell in this set fits perfectly in the 1/2″ circle punch to make it easy to highlight the image. I used Real Red in three placves on this card – the punched bell, the ribbon and the brads. Enjoy!
