👼✨ Day 17 – Caroling Crew & Joy to the World

Day 17 paired Caroling Crew with Joy to the World — and these two themes came together perfectly!

Originally, I planned to pull out an older stamp set for this challenge… but the creative spark took over again, and I ended up making some holiday punch/die art magic instead. And honestly? I think you’re going to love what came out of this one!

I started by looking through my current sets for unexpected shapes and pieces I could repurpose. My eyes kept returning to the Bee My Valentine Stamp Set and matching punch — specifically the bee wings. And then it hit me…

✨ Angel wings!

A whimsical holiday card featuring a punched angel with curly hair, shimmering wings, and a golden gift. The card includes 'Merry' and 'Christmas' sentiments on banners, with a blue background and decorative elements.

From there, the ideas flowed as I searched my stash for more pieces to build a sweet holiday angel. Here’s everything I used and how I transformed each element:

👼 Angel Punch-Art Breakdown

Bee My Valentine Stamp Set (#162546) + Punch (#162553)

Bee Body (Head): Stamped in Petal Pink on white cardstock – be sure to cut off the stinger.
Bee Wings (Angel Wings): Pool Party stamped on white — stamped off for the base, full strength for the outline + Wink of Stella for shimmer
Bee Wings (Hair): Punch only (no stamping) –
- Early Espresso cardstock
- You will need a total of 7
- One will be punched with the Bee Body to create bangs with the heart arches on the inside.
Eyes: Created by masking the bee’s smile stamp to isolate the smile only for the “eye” shapes

Swirled Designs Dies (#167032)

Halo: Small oval cut in Gold Foil Sheets (#132622)

Ornamental Christmas Dies (#166000)

Dress: Christmas tree die (I used the shorter one with double flares) cut from Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper (#165929)

Alphabet à La Mode Dies (#160750)

Mouth: Inside cut of the number “6” (cut from black cardstock)

Gift of Joy Stamp Set (#169238)

Garland: Stamped in Pool Party + Wink of Stella, trimmed to size
Hands: Petal Pink stamped on white — created using the inside of the ornament stamp, cut apart
Song Book: Stamped in Versamark and heat-embossed in gold on Gold Foil Sheets (#132622), trimmed and scored down the center to give it dimension

Sentiment

“Merry” and “Christmas” stamped in Azure Afternoon
Punched with the Three Banner Punch (#167050)

A layout of various punched and stamped elements for a holiday angel project, including parts labeled for the bee body, halo, mouth, garland, and more, showcased on a white sheet.

🌟 Background Details

Everyday Arches Dies (#164629):
- Main arch in Balmy Blue, embossed (I used the retired Merry Melody #156392) and brushed lightly with white ink
- Larger white arch behind for a layered frame
Card Base: Azure Afternoon
- Background stamped with the leaf-fill image from Gift of Joy to add depth
Ribbon: Sheer Balmy Blue Ribbon (#165767)
Adhesives: Lots of dimensionals + mini glue dots to build the layered angel

The result?
✨ A super fun, whimsical work of art that brings both joy and creative surprise to the holiday season.

Christmas and Deer Scrapbook page

While Christmas is over I still wanted a chance to share the two retiring stamp set that I have that are Christmas. Here in Utah we’ve been wondering if Spring was ever going to come. We’ve had record breaking snow and it’s been coming down clear into April. I figured rather than making cards since Christmas is still a ways off, I would focus instead on scrapbook pages that I can put some of those fun Holiday pictures on.

I went with something a bit not traditional mixing together, browns, blues and greens. I also wanted to use as many retiring items that were seasonal as I could. You may notice that I used some new and returning colors. Yep, I’m enjoying playing with some of these new colors. The lighter blue is the new in color Boho Blue and the darker color is a returning in color that has been added to the core colors, Misty Moonlight. I love how they work so well together.

There is so much detail to this page that I thought I would share a few close up shots. The trees along the bottom are a punch where as the other trees I fussy cut as well as some of the deer. What I really love is the greetings all meshed together. Both of these sets have lots of great says that work well on cards, but I thought they made a fun word blog on the page. You will also notice the two embossed images using the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders. I always love it when a project turns out well, especially when I didn’t have an idea what to do when I started.

156891 – Peaceful Deer Stamp Set (R)
156300 – Christmas to Remember Stamp Set (R)
155433 – Wintry 3D Embossing Folder (R)

156390 – Deer Builder Punch (R)
153607 – Essential Tag Punch (R)
