I chose an 'easy' card so those who feel rushed in getting their Christmas cards made. Plus these cards use your DSP and an embossing folder too; both make a card special.
Join me here when I share some tips on making these fun and easy cards tonight.
Gather these supplies:
Card bases 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
White or neutral background layer 3 3/4" X 5", will be textured
Another layer 4" X 5 1/4"
'ornament' circles cut from DSP – mine are almost 3" around
Silver or gold paper (or other) for the top of the ornament
Twine or thin ribbon
Other items: Greeting stamps, ink, embossing folder, snowflakes
I made one card into an easy fun fold by folding the front of the card base back on itself. For this one I chose to add greetings from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set.

Do you save your scraps? Look what I did with mine!
Do you ever save your tiny scraps in the hopes of creating something with them? When I saw the little petals left from this pretty die-cut I saw a flower in my head. What do you think? Would you save them?
This pretty & delicate die-cut is from the Thoughtful Wishes bundle in the new catalog. When I prepped cards for a Team Meeting a few weeks ago I had to save the pieces & try this! It features our new 2024-26 In Color Glimmer specialty paper in the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up! This catalog goes live tomorrow! May 1st!!
Here are the three cards I made with the finished flowers:
From left to right the colors are Summer Splash, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop.
I glued the petals to a small circle; then added the white center (Zinnia die) over them.
The large leaf die is from the new Thoughtful Wishes bundle & the circles are from the new Spotlight on Nature bundle (the dotted circle is from Everyday Details).
The card above is Petunia Pop color. The pretty designer paper is our new 2024-26 Designer paper pack. I heat embossed the greeting (Spotlight on Nature set) with White embossing powder onto Black card stock. That pop of Black on a card adds a bit of elegance.
Which is your favorite of these three colors? Remember you can get in on my new product shares for just 1 more week: the In Color bundle, designer paper share or an In Color ribbon share. See details below:

Spotlight on Nature – sneak peak of the fabulous new bundle
Look at the beautiful card my friend & team member Candy sent me last week. One of our team challenges was to send RAK cards. Random Acts of Kindness. I was very grateful to receive one from her!
It's made with a new bundle in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!. It's called Spotlight on Nature. It includes floral, leaves and butterflies along with pretty sentiments. And an amazing set of detailed & texture circle dies.
Notice her softly sponged background around the flowers & leaves. She used Balmy Blue, Old Olive & Calypso Coral here, coloring in her images with Blends markers. Note that Olive circle die-cut – you can spy it in the photo below.
Demonstrators were able to pre-order this gorgeous bundle in April but everyone can order it after May 1st. In fact you could add it to your Starter kit too.
I'll be sharing more projects with this bundle soon. Thanks for the fabulous card Candy!!
