#229 Merry Christmas-12 Days of Christmas Day#7

12 Days of Christmas, Christmas 2025, Make it Monday Videos /

Welcome back to another Make It Monday video and day #7 in my 12 Days of Christmas series. Today I am featuring the new stamp set Merry Christmas. This is a large greeting that is perfect for you holiday cards. This greeting makes it super easy to create a variety of cards in just a few minutes. I know you will have fun creating with this greeting.

While it is not necessary to use a stamping positions, because this is a larger solid image, I do recommend it. A stamping positioner allows you the opportunity to stamp the images more than once creating a more vibrant and bold end result. Scrapbook.com has several positional choices, Ranger Ink – Wendy Vecchi – Make Art – Perfect Stamp Positioner Set is easy to use and is only $13.99. They also carry the Misti which is a bit more expensive at $69.99.

Did you know that Jimmy Buffet was not only a great musician, but he was also New York Times best-selling author . He wrote three number-one books: Tales From Margaritaville, Where Is Joe Merchant?, and his memoir A Pirate Looks at Fifty. Only a handful of authors, including Hemingway and Dr. Seuss, have topped both fiction and non-fiction lists like Buffett.

Christmas 2025, Make it Monday Videos /

Welcome back to my 12 Days of Christmas series. This week I am featuring the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks. Today is, day 3 of our series, click here if you missed day 2 featuring A Child Is Born. You can also access all of my videos on my YouTube channel. Click here to go to my channel. If you have not used any of Stampin’ Up!’s decorative masks, you are going to love them. These are so super easy to stack and create amazing snowflake images.

Let’s take a closer look at today’s projects!

Hand-Sanitizer Gift Pouch-Weekly Wed. #67

Christmas 2025, Designer Series Paper, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Happy Wednesday all. I am in the midst of preparing for a craft fair this weekend and I thought I would share with you a fun project that I created to gift a small hand-sanitizer from Bath and Body. This project is super quick and does not require a lot of supplies. You can make a gift pouch with just two small pieces of either cardstock or designer series paper. Check out the video for three different versions of the same gift pouch.

Project Supplies

  • 2 x 10″ strip of cardstock or designer series paper
  • 2 x 5-1/2 piece of cardstock or designer series paper
  • Tag Topper Punch, ribbon of choice for closure
  • Optional: 1-7/8″ x 3-3/4 (2) strip of cardstock for support (see video for details)

This really is a super simple project and will make great holiday stocking stuffers or a small gift for your co-workers. If you don’t want to gift hand-sanitizers, I am sure you can find a fun size candy bar to fit into this pouch. I hope you give it a try. Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Merry Christmas ~Five Minute Friday

Christmas 2025, Five Minute Cards /

Happy Friday all…..I know it is not even Halloween yet, but I can’t help myself. This new Merry Christmas stamp is so great. It will allow you to create quick and easy Christmas cards. I am pairing this greeting with a pack of our new holiday designer series paper, Elegant Pine Snowflakes-Item #166066.

Today’s card did not even take 5 minutes. I know, right! I began with an Early Espresso card base and added a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of the Elegant Pine Snowflake DSP. I stamped the Merry Christmas on a 2-3/8 x 4-1/8 piece of Basic White. I added a 2-1/2 x 4-1/4 piece of Early Espresso. I added a strip 1/2 x 4-1/8 piece of Shaded Spruce the top and to the bottom of the greeting.

I hope you enjoyed today’s holiday card. It is never too early to start designing your Christmas cards! Have a blessed week and Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae
