I wanted to try my hand at something quick and easy today, and Dasher seemed to be calling my name! I love this little stamp, which is one of the under $10 stamps featured on Page 208 of the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog. Since Dasher is vintage in appearance, I selected a vintage styled greeting from the Grateful Greetings set, a Holiday Mini selection which will be available September 1st. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Valentine sentiments are also part of this set of twelve. Of course, my new found favorite ribbon, Sleigh Bells, completes the card.
- Prepare a 5-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ card base from Old Olive textured card stock.
- Ink Dasher in Chocolate Chip and stamp onto Very Vanilla. Repeat with Real Red and Old Olive, using the Stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect alignment. Mat onto Old Olive, followed by Real Red. As a final mat layer, use Chocolate Chip which was been punched using the Scallop Edge Punch. Adhere to the card base.
- Add a snippet of Sleigh Bells ribbon as illustrated in the photograph.
- Ink the Christmas Greetings sentiment from Grateful Greetings with Chocolate Chip and stamp onto Very Vanilla. Mat onto Old Olive. For a unique touch, use the Designer Label Punch on Real Red card stock. Cut into half horizontally, adhering a piece to both the top and bottom of the sentiment mat.
- Add two small Clear Rhinestone Circle Brads for a touch of bling.
- Adhere on top of the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I am loving this stamp too! The card is beautiful- those colors are so perfect together.
Dasher is on my next order! So glad too now that I see your card.
Dasher is DASHING! I love how you turned that label punch on it’s end. Clever!
Ann, both Dash and Christmas Cocoa card from Monday are gorgeous!!! I love your style and using the punch to highlight your greeting was a touch of brilliance because it looks fab!
Good luck as you start the new school year! Your students are very fortunate to have a teacher as devoted as you!
Who are you? Laurie? *smile* This card is so beautiful. The things you can with one little stamp. Hugs,
Wow Ann another beautiful card. This one is really striking. I love how clean it looks. Love how you did your label and I love that ribbon too! I just love your card!!!
I’m charmed by what you did with the sentiment. That font is darling . . . why didn’t I include that set from the mini. The ribbon is gorgeous.
Another extraordinary card! Hugs, Mary
I love today and yesterday’s cards they are outstanding!!!!!michellemallett@comcast.net
Again, this is a stunner! You just stop that! 😉
I love what you did with the label punch – that is really genius! You are one smart cookie!
These colors are awesome! I get tired of traditional colors, so this brown just does it for me!
Oh, Ann, this is one of the prettiest Christmas cards I’ve ever seen! 100 times better than anything you can buy in a store! You do such great work.
Oooo! I love this, Ann! So simple but so pretty! Very nice! I’m putting the Dasher stamp on my next order!
This is one of the greatest cards I have ever seen! My Dasher stamp is on order and I can’t wait to get started. I am making all my Christmas cards this year, rather than buying the “generics” that everybody else has. I know that Dasher will be an integral part of my Christmas sentiments! I agree with you on the Victoriana Deco styling, which is a personal favorite for me. I can’t wait to try out the non-traditional colors that compliment the tradition Christmas colors. Wow! Awesome card!
I really like this card…the colors, of course the ribbon and I especially like what you did with the designer label. I will be trying that in the near future ;-).
Oh my word Laurie, you really rocked this card. Love it!
Dasher is on my list to order and he certainly looks great here in every color! Beautiful card with the right amount of Christmas!
