Today is the release of the SSS STAMPtember 2025 Limited Edition Holiday Card Kit called Warmth and Wonder. Here is an image of this amazing holiday themed kit:
There are several exclusive SSS products in the kit that can be purchased separately including a Warmth and Wonder 6×8″ stamp set, a Sparkle Season 4×6″ stamp set, a Winter Sweater Die, Layering Pine Cone Layering Stencils Set, and a Winter Season Embossing Folder with Dies Set. There are also some add on products to the kit including a Warmth and Wonder set of matching dies and a Sparkle Season set of matching dies. Here are my 3 cards:
Here are directions for my 3 cards:
I cut a piece of the patterned paper in a nice Christmas green to fit on the front of an A2 size card. I die-cut an A2 Nested Frame Die from Gold Matte Cardstock and glued that over the paper. I stamped the sentiment with Cranberry PSInk and fussy cut it out as I didn’t have the matching dies. I attached that to the top of the card.
I stamped the flower image from the Wonder and Warmth stamp set. It comes with three different images that fit together so you can use three colors. I have all of the Pawsitively Saturated Ink colors I used listed in my supply list. I stamped two of the leaf branches in the Sparkle Season stamp set with PSInks and used Copics to add a little more shading. I attached the flower and two branches on the front of the card. I added some SSS Unicorn Glitter over the images with Glossy Accents. I finished it with 3 gold sequins.
I used the Winter Season embossing folder for this card – it comes with cutting dies but I didn’t use them. I embossed it using white cardstock and colored it in with Copic Markers. I attached it to a white card base.
I die-cut a small rectangle and frame using the SSS A2 Nested Thin Frame Dies from both white cardstock and lilac cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Sparkle Season stamp set (love this font!) using Versafine ink. I attached foam tape to the back of the white one including the frame. I glued the lilac frame over the white one. I applied Glossy Accents to the edges of the card and the edges of the white sentiment rectangle. I applied Tim Holtz Distress Rock Candy Clear which is translucent so the elements below it still show up but it adds a wonderful snow-like glaze.
After I made this card I realized a snowflake embossing folder would have looked better as the background! Oops as I have tons of them! I started with a piece of A2 Sized Tim Holtz Watercolor paper. I painted some streaks of gold watercolor (very watered down) around the background and then flicked some over it while it was still wet so the splotches were more subtle.
I die-cut three of the Winter Sweater Dies from white cardstock. I rubbed shimmery inks over them in red, bronze, and gold. I attached them to the bottom of the card slightly overlapping the center one which has foam tape behind it. I stamped the bird, two pine leaves, and three bows from the Warmth and Wonder stamp set with PSInks. I attached the bows over the center of each sweater. I embossed two sentiments using Antique Gold embossing powder and added them to the top of the card with the bird and two leaves. I tied some gold twine to the top and used some Gold Liquid Pearl drops around the sentiment and in the center of each bow.
This Warmth and Wonder Holiday Limited Edition kit will only be sold while supplies last. If you prefer, you can purchase just the individual SSS exclusive items. The Warmth and Wonder stamp set comes as a bundle with dies and so does the Sparkle Season stamp and die set. STAMPtember is coming to an end this week so I hope you enjoy all of the additional offerings – I’ll have blog posts up daily which I’ve stuck to for the entire month!
