Hi Stamping Friends!
The Delivering Cheer stamp set is one from the Mini Catalog that you may be quick to overlook. But, there are some super-cute ways that you can have fun with this unique two-step stamp set. Today, I'm sharing two different techniques that you can try to really make that faceless girl stand out! There are printable Project Sheets, too!
In case you missed it yesterday…
No LIVE Class This Week—I'm starting to cut back my hours as I get closer to baby girl's birth day. I'm moving a bit slower these days and there's still much to do before her arrival! Be sure to join me October 21 for my next LIVE Class featuring the Whimsy & Wonder Suite, which is also the last Countdown To Christmas holiday card series. I will be stopping my weekly LIVE Classes after November 4.
Modified Maternity Leave—I'm now planning on being on a modified maternity leave between November 8 and January 31. What this means is that I will not be having regular events, LIVE Classes, daily blog posts, or regular Facebook posts. However, I'm not stepping away from my business completely! I WILL still be touching base with you as much as I can, giving you updates on Stampin' Up! promos, having some of my own specials, sharing creative ideas & tips, and, of course, giving you updates on baby girl. I want to still be accessible to you for ordering and any questions you may have. I thank you in advance for your understanding and continued business during my downtime and I'm looking forward to being back stamping with you regularly early in 2022.

Delivering Cheer Sending Love Card
Technically, the Delivering Cheer stamp set was designed for the holiday season, but it's really very functional for birthdays or thinking of you style cards throughout the entire year! Here's a fun celebration card with a cool Paper Piecing technique.
Background Basics—Wrap a piece of the Basic White Crinkle Ribbon around a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of You're A Peach Designer Series Paper, securing the ends to the back. Then, tie a short piece of the same ribbon into a knot around that first piece. This is an easy way to create a "faux bow" look. Adhere the layer to the Pear Pizzazz card base.
Die-cut a 4" long Stitched Rectangle die-cut from Shimmery White cardstock and pop up onto the card background with Dimensionals.
Sweet Girl—Stamp the bottom half of the girl in Memento Black ink onto a large scrap piece of Shimmery White cardstock. Stamp the top of the girl above the image. Use Stampin' Blends Markers in Old Olive, Calypso Coral and Petal Pink to color in the gifts, arms & legs and shoes of the girl.
Next, stamp the bottom half of the girl onto another pattern of You're A Peach DSP in Memento Black ink and trim out the skirt with Paper Snips. Adhered the skirt onto the original image for a cool Paper Pieced technique. Cut the whole girl image out with Paper Snips and pop up onto the rectangle with more Dimensionals.
Finishing Touches—Add Artistry Blooms Sequins along the top of the skirt for a belt.
Sweet Sentiment—Stamp the Delivering Cheer sentiment in Pear Pizzazz ink onto Pear Pizzazz cardstock. Cut out the "sending love" words and pop up with Dimensionals onto the card front.

Delivering Cheer Wonderful Time Card
This adorable Christmas card uses a cool Out of The Box Technique to put the focus on the gift-giving girl. It's easier than you may think!
Background Basics—Adhere a 1-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper along the left edge of a vertically-folded Thick Basic White card base.
Sweet Girl—Stamp the bottom half of the girl in Memento Black ink about 1" away from the left edge of a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Basic White. Stamp the top of the girl above it. Then, add a sentiment from Holly Jolly Wishes in Real Red ink on the bottom right of the layer.
Place the stamped layer into the Stampin' Trimmer and line up the cutter at the 1" mark or so. Start cutting until you hit the packages on the image. Continue cutting from the bottom of the skirt to the bottom of the piece. Then, use Paper Snips to cut the rest of the image out on that side only. This is called the Out of The Box technique. So cool!
Color the image with Stampin' Blends Markers in Old Olive, Real Red and Granny Apple Green, adding some lines and polka dots to some of the packages.
Finish by popping up the Out of The Box layer onto the card front with lots of Dimensionals. Add a couple of Red Rhinestones on either side of the sentiment.
