Quick & Pretty Traditions of Christmas with video

December 8, 2025

I shared how to create these beautiful Christmas cards on last week’s video. Scroll down to grab the free project sheet or watch the video.

Aren’t they beautiful? Flower bouquet’s for Christmas? Absolutely!
My colors include White, Real Red, Old Olive & Mossy meadow.

These are made with a few products from the 2025 Holiday catalog and one from our Online Exclusives. Here’s the list:

– Traditions of Christmas specialty designer series paper
– Christmas Greenery dies seen here
– Traditional Labels stamp set seen here
– Peaceful Greenery embossing folder (now discounted) seen here
– Textured Notes dies seen here

Traditions of Christmas specialty designer series paper

Whew! Seems like a lot but you could easily substitute other products. Instead of using the Christmas Greenery dies the bouquet from the DSP could be fussy cut.

I’ve used this pretty designer paper a lot this season. It’s a sure winner with it’s gold foil accents. And it’s now discounted! See it here.

It’s so easy to die-cut the florals with the dies in the Christmas Greenery dies I might just make a few more of these cards.
I did texture the front of the card base but you could easily add a second layer to the front instead.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it and save to a folder on your computer.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more quick Christmas card. I hope you watch it!

How to create a beautiful scene with the Peaceful Pier set; a free project sheet & video tutorial

June 9, 2025

I shared a video tutorial on how to create this gorgeous scene last week.

Save

I used the Peaceful Pier stamp set, inks and blending brushes.

Save

I first stamped the dock and tree images using Black Memento ink. Then added a few more 'grass' images at the bottom. Next you add ink with Blending Brushes. I used Lost Lagoon for the water, Granny Apple Green for the grass, Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight for the sky.

I did color the dock and trees with Blends markers. I did not need to mask anything. As long as you're adding ink lightly with the Blending Brushes you shouldn't need to.

Save

After I was finished adding color I used the Textured Notes dies to cut my image into 2 pieces. Ad added the frame to a Black CS layer and added the center with Stampin' Dimensionals. I love the dimension this gives to the card scene.

Below is the video tutorial on how to add ink smoothly with Blending Brushes. I hope you watch it!
