Monthly Christmas Card Inspiration - 7/1/2024 * Christmas Season / Holly Jolly Wishes *

On the first of each month, I will share a bit of Christmas Card Making Inspiration (2 cards). If you're like me and want to make your Christmas cards rather than buying the "mass-produced, over-priced" cards, these videos are designed to give you some inspiration throughout the year. You can use what I have used, or let these cards give you some inspiration to use what you have.
For this month, I will be doing the “One Sheet Wonder” technique creating 4 cards.
Dimensions
8-1/2” x 5-1/2” (Cut 4) - Basic White Thick Cardstock, Scored at 4-1/4”
5-3/8” x 4-1/8” (Cut 4) - Cherry Cobbler Cardstock
10-1/2” x 8” - Basic White Cardstock

Beautiful, stunning cards…..

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Thank you Margaret! ;)

[@kathyskeras8179]

BEAUTIFUL! Wish I can hit the like 100 times. Thank you for sharing.

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Thank you so much Kathy! 😉

[@Quirks59m]

A fun card - I stamped along with you and made 4 Christmas cards. Woo! Thanks for sharing.

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

@Quirks59m - That is so awesome! You are most welcomed! ;)

[@LisaTeigen]

My first time watching you I love the tips and the technique

[@veecee9536]

Had this video in my 'watch later' playlist and have just finished watching. Thank you so much for stamping at a speed i can follow. Have this set unused, enjoyed your video so much will watch again and stamp along. Am in my late 70's and struggle with poor memory, finding a demonstrator using older stock is brilliant but one who stamps at a speed to follow is outstanding 🎉🎉. See you also have video using same design but new stamp set, am off to subscribe and watch that and more of your work. Thank you for sharing your talents. Regards from UK 🇬🇧

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I have never been one to rush in my stamping/card making because if I did? Then I would mess up. I guess it's the OCD in me LOL. When I decided to start doing videos, it was a must for me to use retired stuff because I have so much of it, plus I have a lot of retired that I had never put ink to and that was the case with the Christmas Season stampset. I did the other video with current product because one of my commenters on this video wanted to recreate this, however they didn't have and couldn't get this stampset. Someone made a suggestion about doing this technique with a snowflake stampset - I think I see another video coming soon since I have a few snowflake sets. Thank you for subscribing and welcome to the channel! ;)

[@Nicole-pu8ve]

What a great sheet/cards. This is probably the nicest one i have seen! Love the old stamp set. I watched it today but plan to replay your video and do it along with you. Please do one sheet wonder more often because you are very good at it. Thank you and God bless!

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Thank you Nicole! I definitely plan on doing more in the future with this technique, seems like a LOT of people enjoy it. God Bless!

[@beverlypope7179]

These are wonderful, Carla! I don’t have this same set but I have a similar set! When I get back home 🏠 I’m going to do this! Thank you!

[@yelena86]

This is such a great idea and they turned out beautiful, a fabulous way of making multiples. Thank you for sharing 👍✌️❤️

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Thank you Yelena! 😉

Thanks Judy! ;)

[@vahodgins]

I was really happy to come across this video, because I needed new inspiration for Christmas cards! I feel you could also make birthday cards using this technique. I'm going to try it this afternoon. Thank you for showing us how to do it.

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

You are most welcomed! Glad that I was able to give you some inspiration - True about using this technique for birthday cards as well! ;)

[@lynniepersons9979]

These cards are fabulous, you have done a wonderful job! I am a 77 year old woman who has made cards for years now this is the first I’ve watched your video, but it will not be my last amazing you did an amazing job. And I love it that you bring back in old product That we all have. You have been such a big help and an inspiration! Thank you and God bless you..

[@micheletrow1382]

Watching the replay from Palm Bay FL. I just found you on KZbin and I'm glad I did. I love your idea of throwback Thursday. I have this set and I can't wait to try this technique. I look forward to watching your other throwback Thursday videos. I have shared this to Pinterest and subscribed to your channel. Thanks so much for sharing 😊

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Thank you so much for the kind words Michele! Glad you're here! Thanks for the share!

These are so beautiful!!

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Thank you! 😊

[@carolwatson9365]

First time catching your video; it was great; love the cards and this technique. Thank you for sharing and giving the dimensions so one can recreate this. I am very excited to be able to see a Christmas Inspiration monthly. This will also help me to "use" my new retired stamp sets. I subscribed so I get notified when a new one goes up. Have a crafty afternoon.

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Thank you so much for the kind words & subscribing Carol. I too like knowing the dimensions so it was a must for me to add them. I hope my Monthly Christmas Card Inspiration videos inspire! You have a crafty afternoon as well! ;)

[@jackieelliott2913]

Lovely cards and a time saver too. I love doing stamped one sheet wonders, they save lots of time and can be cut in so many ways, plus you don't need to buy dsp as you've made your own one off version. Have you checked out Ruth Trice from Artful Stampin, she's a demo in the UK and is the Queen of the OSW and has LOADS of inspiration on her channel.

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Thanks Jackie! It was pretty cool - will definitely need to revisit this technique. I think I have seen Ruth's videos - hers look pretty amazing!

[@barbaracilley8200]

Thank you for sharing. I’ve been stamping for over 25 years and I have a lot of stamp sets that have never been used. Your cards turned out gorgeous. You stamp at my speed, so I’m going to try stamping right along with you. I’m going to check out some of your other videos too. Happy stamping.

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Thank you Barbara. Yeah. I'm not one of those super fast stampers. That's when things just don't go right. I'm currently working on another one sheet wonder using a new set - stay tuned! Welcome to The Studio! ❤

[@barbaraspring3199]

Beautiful cards. My first time seeing you. I’m subscribing.

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Thank you Barbara! Welcome to The Studio! ;)

[@ccl005jn]

Lovely! The pop of red with the berries makes it.

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Thank you so much! ;)

[@dianneeure8289]

You've outdone yourself with this one. Love, love it!!!

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Thanks Dianne! This one definitely wowed a lot of people! ;)

[@AWalkWithSusan]

I had commented on your FB page but should have commented here. I love the design just sorry the die set is retired. Is there any possibility of it coming out again?

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Not a problem Susan - I just responded to your comment. I didn't use the dies on these cards, unless you were meaning the stampset. I can say - never say never, but I doubt it. I did do another version of this technique with the new Golden Greenery Bundle.

[@inanelson2140]

Beautiful cards and a great idea .

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Thank you so much Ina! ;)

[@brendadamon3606]

Beautiful cards!

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Thank you so much Brenda! ;)

[@lisaf7260]

I would have turned at least upside down and have the pine cone hanging down.

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

That too could have been done along with making the cards in a portrait orientation as well. ;)

[@terrie1226]

Well done and thanks for sharing it. Is there a name for this technique.

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Thanks Terrie! The technique is One Sheet Wonder

[@terrie1226]

@@bluescitystampinstudio Thank you.

[@kimcam22]

I would love to make this card but unfortunately the stamp set is retired and i can't buy it... I checked ebay etc...

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Kim - For my Monthly Christmas Card Inspiration videos I do use a lot of retired sets and as we get closer to the holiday I will use current. What's nice about this technique is that you could use lots of different stamps. Though it's different and it doesn't have a pinecone in the set, we have currently on the SU website under Online Exclusives the Golden Greenery stampset - come September, the new holiday mini catalog will be out and maybe there will be something in there.

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Stay tuned Kim! I'm working on another one sheet wonder with a set currently available in our Online Exclusives ❤

[@facsmom]

I have seen this video longer ago than 5 days ago. Is this a repost?

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

@facsmom - I should have had this video uploaded on July 1st, but it was actually on July 3rd when I posted it. It's not a repost. Thanks ;)

[@facsmom]

I looked back several years ago and found other videos by other crafters using a similar technique. That stamp set is so versatile. Glad I have it. I am inspired to get it out and play😀

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

@@facsmom - Lots of people of done this technique - artfulstampin with ruth is a demo from the UK and she is the queen (in my opinion) of this technique.

[@LisaTeigen]

My first time watching you I love the tips and the technique

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Welcome Lisa! Hope you feel inspired ;)

[@beverlypope7179]

These are wonderful, Carla! I don’t have this same set but I have a similar set! When I get back home 🏠 I’m going to do this! Thank you!

[@bluescitystampinstudio]

Thank you Beverly! AWESOME! I did another video since this one where I used the new Golden Greenery bundle. ;)
