Quick & Easy Last Minute Christmas Cards - Great Tidings

I hope you're enjoying my Quick & Easy Last Minute Christmas Cards! We're right in the middle of the series with my third card. Two more to go!

Today's card features the retiring Great Tidings Bundle from the Stampin' Up! July - December 2021 Mini Catalog (Holiday Mini). The bundle includes the Great Tidings Stamp Set and Wise Men Tidings Dies. They're available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST or until January 3, 2022...whichever comes first.

I normally don't say this, but DO NOT buy the stamp set & dies together as a bundle! The Wise Men Tidings Dies are 50% off now, so it's actually cheaper to list the stamp set & dies on your order separately. It'll save you $9!

I heat embossed the wisemen with gold emboss powder from the Metallics Stampin' Emboss Powders. I love the shine on them. If you don't want to take the time to heat emboss, you can stamp them onto the Crumb Cake cardstock with Crumb Cake ink.

Here's a close-up of both versions of the wisemen. On the top card, they're stamped with Crumb Cake ink. They're gold heat embossed on the bottom card.

Isn't that dry embossed frame beautiful! It was made with the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder. It includes the embossing folder AND dies! I didn't use the dies this time, though...just the folder.

This embossing folder & die set is NOT retiring, but it is going to go away for a few months. If you want it now, you'll need to order it by January 3, 2022. It'll be back in July, 2022 when the new Holiday Mini comes out.
