5 fast Christmas cards with my 5 at a time templates!

October 29, 2026

And today I’ll share the 3rd group of ‘5 at a time’ cards from my video last week. This time I went with a Holiday theme!

My colors include Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce, Pecan Pie and Very Vanilla. The Noel Tidings stamp set seen here has everything you need to create pretty card fronts or backgrounds for your holiday cards.

There is a beautiful set of dies that coordinate with this stamp set. See the bundle here. The dies are currently out of stock; but you can add your email address to the product to be notified when it becomes available.

Below you can see how I stamped the inside layers.

Both of these templates are included in the free project sheet I created. Click here to print or download it.

I’ll be proud to send these cards to my family and friends this Christmas.

Below is the video tutorial for these cards; you can watch me stamp them and get my tips for coloring the berries with a blender pen too.

The Starter kit deal ends on Saturday! I hope you’ll consider joining my team and taking advantage of the continual discount on all future Stampin’ Up! products!

Magical Meadow & Winter Meadow fun fold cards

November 28, 2023
Today I'm sharing two gorgeous cards made with the Magical Meadow bundle and the Winter Meadow designer paper. Judith created multiple projects using this suite as the Artist of the Month on my Flowerbug's Team for November.

First is a window card using the Deckled Circle dies:

Her colors include Gray Granite & Whisper White. The die-cut greeting is from the Autumn Leaves dies. I've always liked the ribbon tied around the window like this; a unique touch!

Measurements:
- Card back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
- Designer paper 8" X 5 1/4" score at 4", window die-cut is 2 1/2"
The designer paper is carrying over but sadly the Magical Meadow bundle is retiring soon; it's still available while supplies last.

This next card is a fabulous way to feature your double sided designer paper.

Start with a 11" X 4 1/4" layer. Score the left side at 1" and the center at 5 1/2". Fold back the 1" score line and secure closed. She used the Deckled Circle dies and the Silver & White ribbon on her greeting layer; both from the 2023 Holiday catalog.

Add a layer inside or just a simple greeting like she did.

The Winter Meadow designer paper is gorgeous as you can see. Beautiful water-colored scenes make your design work easy! I'm so glad it's carrying over for a few more months. See it here.

I'll share more projects tomorrow!

Wishes all Around Christmas card with video & free project sheet

November 27, 2023

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We sure did! We spent it with our kids – playing games, making puzzles and of course enjoying wonderful food.

~~~

Have you noticed the Wishes All Around bundle in the 2023 Holiday catalog?

I've always loved wreaths. In fact I used to collect them and put them up at Christmas time on a big wall in my dining room.

I thought this Wishes All Around stamp bundle seen here had a wide variety of pretty stamps and wonderful dies.

I heat embossed the tree wreath image in White embossing powder and die-cut it with the coordinating dies. I added it onto three cut panels from the Brushed Gold Cards & envelopes; each one cut at 1 5/8" X 4" and added to my Navy card base. These panels are textured with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

I love the fact that you can cut the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes into two card fronts; more bang for your buck!

Below is a photo of all of the card swaps I made. I truly love these Brushed Gold cards & envelopes. I've found them quite versatile and easy to use.

Here's a photo of this sweet bundle. As you can see it has three die-cut wreaths, snowflakes, trees and stems/berries. All meant to coordinate with the stamp set.

I made a second version in the video last week. Which do you prefer?

Bow on top or on the bottom of the wreath? Gold or white embossed greeting?

Below is the video where I shared this pretty card. Unfortunately this video has some blurry spots; I hope you can bear with me!

Sending Cheer Diamond Flap card – free project sheet & video

November 24, 2023
We made this adorable cards at my November card clubs. They could choose between Christmas & birthday. I love it when products are this versatile!

The Sending Cheer stamp set and dies are on the Last Chance list now and both are reduced in price! Originally this bundle was $53 but now it's just $38.40! The stamp set is $14.40 and the dies are $21; they do have to be purchased separately to get the discounted price.

I'll start with the Christmas version. The colors are Poppy Parade, White & Shaded Spruce. Isn't the Santa hat adorable?!

This fun fold might look difficult but if you watch the video here you'll find it's quite easy. It involves a bit of scoring and trimming. The diagonal square layer is separate from the card base. The designer paper is the Merry, Bold & Bright seen here. I'm featuring it in one of my pre-cut card kits to go this month; click here to see it.

The inside layer is textured with the Christmas Tidings embossing folder seen here. It's retiring and discounted.

The inside greeting is from the Beary Cute stamp set. I sure love this fold!

Here is the birthday version using the same Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper seen here. It's so versatile!

The colors here are Blueberry Bushel, White & Lemon Lime Twist. We fussy cut the gift and added that neat ribbon die-cut over it.
