Hi stampers and card makers, today for our hop we have a sketch challenge. After finishing up all the Christmas cards for this season I ended up with a ton of bits and pieces of DSP. A light bulb moment went off when I thought of the “scrappy technique” to make my card today. It used lots of small pieces of DSP and made a pretty card at the same time. I have used this technique before, and each card is unique and so pretty with all the wonderful papers that Stampin’ Up! has to offer. After you visit my blog, please stop by our other creatives team members blogs to see what they created for you today with this week’s sketch.
The sketch:
Stampin’ Up! Boughs of Holly Card:
The recipe:
Card base: Basic White 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
Scrappy strip panel: Basic White 5-1/2 x 3
Gold Glimmer paper: 5-1/2 x 1/2
Diagonal strips: Boughs of Holly DSP
The details:
- Cut strips of Boughs of Holly DSP at the diagonal, alternating the direction of the cuts after each pass through the trimmer (make them 6 inches long)
- Cover the scrappy strip panel with Stampin Seal Adhesive
- Cover the panel with your diagonal strips of DSP, starting at either the right or left edge of the panel
- Cut the overhanging DSP off with your trimmer
- Adhere the two Gold Glimmer strips of the top and bottom of the scrappy strip panel
- Adhere this to the card front with Stampin Seal
The sentiment:
- Stamp the sentiment from the Sweet Candy Cane stamp set onto Basic White card stock using Versamark Ink
- Heat emboss the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder

Finishing touches:
