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!

Beautiful Winter Meadow card; a great layout to use those extra pieces

November 17, 2023
The Winter Meadow designer paper & the Magical Meadow stamp & dies bundle are among my favorites from the 2023 Holiday catalog. Pretty products produce pretty projects! Say that three times! Ha!

I was playing with the designer paper and had these two pieces among the scraps in my paper pack. I simply added a layer of Blueberry Bushel card stock to one piece and added them to the White card base offset from each other for balance. Easy peasy!

Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
- DSP 1 piece at 2 1/2" X 4" and 1 at 2" X 4 1/4"
- Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 4 1/4"
Of course the pretty dies help a lot too. The greeting label is from the Nested Essential dies seen here and the leaves are both from the Magical Meadow bundle seen here.

Next I added a greeting layer – heat embossed with Silver embossing powder & my Heat Tool. Adding the White & Silver mesh ribbon in loops under it sure gives a great finishing touch! To add the loops of ribbon I created them and pressed them to the back of my greeting, after I added some Seal tape runner of course.

I saw that this beautiful Winter Meadow designer paper is in low inventory; grab it while you can here.

Last day of the Seasonal Stock up Sale! Meandering Meadows surprise Accordion card with free project sheet & video

November 16, 2023

Today is the last day of the Seasonal 'Stock up' Sale. I sure appreciate getting a discount on consumable items like card stock, ink refills and markers!

~~~

The Meandering Meadows designer paper is gorgeous with it's water-colored scenes. I shared three card ideas on last week's live video.

This one is actually a fun fold card. It sure doesn't look like it though!

I used a wide strip of Blueberry Bushel and a narrow strip of Balmy Blue on the front. The designer paper is actually most of the front of this card. Here's the inside view:

See how the back of the front layer of designer paper is revealed here? There is a full 11" X 4 1/4" piece of accordion folded card stock between the front and back layers. It's a very cool design that's also easy to make.

I really like how it shows both sides of our double-sided designer series paper. It also gives you lots of layers to stamp or decorate. I kept mine quite simple.

I used my favorite greeting set in the 2023 Holiday catalog; So Sincere. See it here. It's a gem! The tag die-cut is from the Tailor Made Tags seen here.

You can see a glimpse of each sheet in the photo below. It's 6 X 6" in size and filled with watercolor scenes. This type of designer paper allows you to let the pretty scenes do the work for you. Click here to see it.

You can see the video tutorial for this card and two more below and if you click here.
