Quick Card template & cute Christmas treats & snowman tags

I shared a ton of Holiday projects on this week's FB Live.  You can see the video below but here are the projects:

Save

I used the Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP here along with Very Vanilla, Navy, Brass foil and Peacock CS.  This pretty paper is on sale at 50% off!  See it here.

This is one of the easiest layouts you can make that still has some layers to it.  I like the card below best since you can stamp directly on the single layer and do not need a second greeting piece to stamp on like the cards on the left & right above.  Measurements below:

Easy Christmas card

• Main card – 8 ½” X 5 ½” or 4 ¼” X 11”, DSP – 3” square
• CS – 4 ¼” X 3 ¼”, Vanilla greeting layer is 7/8" X 3", Foil strip – ½” X 4”

Next I have a super cute candy box treat made by my friend Marilyn.  She used the Celebration Label dies; they're 50% off now while supplies last!  See them here. 

Save

Celebration Labels Treat box

• Use the largest 2 dies.  Center the CS die-cut at 6”; score at 5 3/8” and 6 5/8”
• Box is 2 3/8” X 5 1/8” scored at ½” on each edge

Save

Next is a fun candy bar pull up treat.  I love making these since they're so quick & easy. 

Save

Santa Pull Up Treat

Red CS 6 1/2" X 7" score at 3/8", 3/4", 3 1/2" and 3 7/8".

Black glitter belt 1" X 7"

This candy bar is in a thin card board box so I had to score it.  Usually I just wrap the card stock around the candy bar and glue the edge overlapping each other.  That one is a lot quicker. 

Save

Lastly is a sweet snowman tag. 

Save

It's a piece of Snowflake Splendor DSP and White CS both measuring 4 1/2" X 2" and tied together at the top.  I used the Delightful Tag Topper & 2" circle punches here. The stitched nose is made with the Triangle dies.  I drew Black 'stones' with a marker for his smile. 

Below you can get the tips on putting these projects together.  Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel here.

• Quick Notecard idea with the Banner Sayings bundle

  January 20, 2026

  ---

  I needed to send a few special cards to my Team members this weekend and so I created these cute notecards:

  Save

  The large piece of designer paper is 4″ X 3″ and the bottom strip is 4″ X 1″. I added a 1/4″ strip of textured Coastal Cabana between them (I found it in my scraps).

  I chose to make notecards because the package I was sending their prizes in was narrow and these fit perfectly.
  Did you know we carry pre-scored notecards with envelopes? The package includes 20 cards and 20 envelopes for just $10. You can see them here.

  I chose the Hobby Haven designer paper because of it’s colors and ‘hobby’ themed prints. See it here. It’s part of our Online product selection.

  I decided to feature the Banner Sayings bundle for a few reasons. It’s quick with the coordinating punch and the greeting I chose fit my needs perfectly. Click here to see it. The new Triple Banner punch was out of stock for weeks! But now it’s back.

• A neat Diamond Pop-up Fun Fold card with video & free project sheet

  January 19, 2026

  ---

  I shared this pretty fun fold card on last week’s Live video. If you missed it you can watch it here on YouTube or here on Facebook.

  Save

  Isn’t it a neat card fold? And it’s super easy to make. I also love that it shows off our coordinating designer series paper so well. Here I used the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty DSP seen here. It’s gorgeous prints include gold foil accents.

  Save

  I made two different versions because I needed multiples of them for our January Team swap with my Flowerbug’s.

  The center greeting layer is added with two folded strips of paper positioned next to the center score line. This allows the greeting to pivot and pop-up when you flex the card. These are about 1 1/2″ X 1/2″ and I simply fold them in half and placed with the score lines next to each other.

  Save

  You can see how the center panel ‘pops’ up when it’s opened. I really love this fold!

  Save

  I used the Greenery Lane bundle for the greeting and the White leaf die-cut. You can see this bundle here.

  Save

  
  The other two dies are from the Perennial Postage dies seen here.

  Save

  I created a free project sheet for this fun fold card. Click here to download or print it.

  Below is the video tutorial for this card.

  Here’s the second kit to go I’m offering in January; the Cute as a Bug fun fold card kit:

  Save

  Stampin’ Up! knocked it out of the park with this CUTE designer series paper! *see it online here It’s unique color combinations and whimsical critters make creating with it so enjoyable.

  I created 5 different fun fold layouts and doubled them for a total of 10 unique cards.

  The PDF tutorial includes step by step directions, photos, measurements and a supplies list. I also recorded a video tutorial exclusively to those who purchase it or the kit to go. This tutorial is just $16 and can be seen here.

  The pre-cut kit to go can be seen here. Reserve it now and it will be mailed out later this month (likely around the 22nd of January).

  The kit includes the following: 1/2 pkg of the Cute as a Bug DSP, a share of the Ladybug Garden epoxy gems, the Old Olive rick-rack ribbon and exclusive video link. It also includes 10 pre-cut cards! Everything is cut for you except your new designer paper. You’ll use the measurements in the PDF tutorial to do that; it’s easy! Then just assemble and add your stamped images to the greeting pieces provided. (Any greetings will work; feel free to use what you have).

  My kits are super easy to complete. I get tons of compliments and repeat customers each month.
