Wishes all Around Christmas card with video & free project sheet

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.

Save

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!

  I had to feature the Nature Walk designer paper for a card kit & tutorial. It’s just gorgeous with deep, rich prints.

  Save

  I paired it with the new Covered in Flowers Accents from the Spring catalog, the retiring butterflies and White Baker’s Twine. See those pretty floral & botanical die-cuts on the cards? That’s the Flower Accents! They come in a large single sheet of thick pre-cut pieces. They’re white but can be colored or textured. They were so fun to use on these cards!

  3 of the 5 designs are fun fold layouts. The kit & tutorial include 2 of each. You can choose from the PDF tutorial for $16 or the pre-cut card kit which includes up to $20 in Stampin’ Up! product for just $31.

• Neat fun fold card 3 ways! With free tutorial & video

  February 9, 2026

  ---

  We made this special card at my January card clubs. They could choose between 3 colors and themes too!

  Save

  I featured the Addressed to You stamp set for all three cards. See the cute ovals & rectangle with the ‘filled in’ images on the right? Those are all part of this unique stamp set! See it here.

  Save

  I used the retiring Textured Notes dies seen here. They’re the stitched edge rectangle dies used twice on this card. They are on the last chance list right now and reduced in price too!

  Save

  This card opens with a type of flip/flap feel. Here’s how we cut off the tabs on the card base. Once you score your card you’ll make a pencil mark from the top and bottom at 1″. Then trim off the corners.

  Save

  My colors include Pool Party, White and either Pretty in Pink, Fresh Freesia or Peach Pie.

  I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, supplies and step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

  More details:

  • I used the images that finished the lined oval & rectangle to decorate the inside ‘left’ edge on the cards.
  • We used Blends markers to color in the small images.
  • The DSP is the Beach Boardwalk designer paper for the left edge.
  • The greetings are from the stamp set called ‘The Right Words’ seen here. It’s one of my favorite greeting sets.

  I was in the middle of the video tutorial for this card but the video failed right before I started the project. And I made my last packet. So I do not have a video for it. But hopefully the project sheet above helps you out.
