Hi! I’m Sara Levin the artful inker an independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in the United States. Welcome to my blog. Today is the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop Beyond Basic Paper. For our theme, we will be using the Beyond Basic Papers in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. Let’s take a look at my Christmas card using Ringed with Nature and the video tutorial.

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop Beyond Basic Paper

For today’s card, I wanted to highlight my favorite Beyond Basic Paper from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. It’s the Distressed Gold Paper and if you haven’t seen it in person, you don’t know what you’re missing!!
Here, I used it for the main layer of the card. As you can see, I let it do all the heavy lifting for my design. Which makes this the perfect kind of card to easily make multiples for Christmas.

To add a little easy detail to the card, I used the Tree Lot Dies. Don’t forget you can earn the dies FREE with a qualifying purchase during the July August 2022 Sale-a-Bration.
On the trees, I sneaked in a couple more of the Beyond Basic Papers. The base layer of the trees is cut from the Kraft 6″ x 6″ Paper and then I topped them with some Gold Foil Sheet — a perennial favorite.
Finishing this quick and easy Christmas cards was well…easy. I heat embossed the sentiment from Ringed with Nature in Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and die cut with a Stitched Rectangle die.
