12 Days of Christmas: Christmas Greenery

Hi friends! Welcome to Day 3 of my Twelve Days of Christmas series! I’m so glad you’re here. This little series has quickly become one of my favorite parts of December. From December 2–18, I’m sharing two projects every single day, a cute card plus a fun treat bag, box, or 3D project, to help make your last-minute holiday crafting and gifting a whole lot easier.

I'm doing all the creating and designing for you, so you can just follow along, recreate the projects, and check one more thing off that holiday to-do list!

If you missed the live tutorial, no stress at all—you can catch the replay by clicking the link below⬇️. I’ve also added links to Day 1 and Day 2, all the supplies I used for today’s projects, and the measurements you'll need. You'll find the measurements listed right under the photos, so everything is nice and easy to follow. 

Today we played with the Christmas Greenery Bundle, and oh my goodness… these projects turned out gorgeous.

December Sweet Stampede Blog Hop

Hi friends! Today I'm sharing my project for our December Sweet Stampede Blog Hop, and I had so much fun creating this adorable snowman card using the Festive Friends Bundle. This month's hop started with a sketch that featured several cut squares (see below), but ya'll know me, I didn't want to chop up a bunch of Designer Series Paper, so I decided to mimic the square design instead. And honestly? I love how it turned out! 

To get that layered square look from the sketch, I grabbed the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder and embossed a piece of Strawberry Slush cardstock. The texture is fantastic—such a good foundation for a Christmas card! Then I added a piece of the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper in the polka-dot pattern as the next layer.

I die-cut the tag from the Festive Friends Dies, stamped the snowflakes all over it with Cloud Cover ink, and then added a soft, blended background with my Blending Brush. Next, I heat-embossed the tree from the stamp set in silver, die cut a second tree in Garden Green, and layered them together for a little extra dimension.

Let's talk about this Snowman! Isn't he the cutest!?! I stamped him in Memento Black on Basic White and colored him with Smoky Slate for shading, then used Cloud Cover and Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Blends for his hat and scarf. Then I brushed on some Wink of Stella because… sparkle is always a good idea.

I glued the left side of the snowman to the right side of the tag, added Stampin’ Dimensionals across both pieces, and popped the whole thing onto the card front.

For the finishing details, I used Cloud Cover and Strawberry Slush Faux Linen ribbon, and for a little extra pop of color, I tied a bow around them using Garden Green Chevron ribbon. Such a sweet combo!

The sentiment is stamped in Basic Gray ink onto the little die-cut label from the bundle, and of course, I added more Wink of Stella to make it shine. And to add a little more sparkle, I sprinkled on a few Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink gems.

Measurements & Details:
Thick White card base: 11 x 4-1/4" scored at 5-1/2"
Strawberry Sluch Embossed Layer: 4-1/8" X 5-3/8"
Designer Series Paper layer: 3-1/4" X 4"

Die-Cut Tag: Festive Friends Dies (3-5/8" x 2-3/8")

Sentiment Label: Festive Friend Dies (1-3/4" x 2-1/4")

You can find all the supplies for this card HERE!

This card was so much fun to create, and I hope it inspires you to create something festive this week! For more details, supplies, and inspiration, make sure to check out the rest of the hop links, and keep crafting with joy this season!

Traditions of Christmas | Session Two Weekly Card Class

Hi Friends! Session Two of this week’s Live Card Class was so much fun, and I couldn’t wait to share these two fantastic projects with you—a classic Christmas card and the cutest little treat box to match! Both projects feature that stunning Traditions of Christmas Specialty DSP, and let me tell you… Those rich reds and greens are absolutely gorgeous in person.

I paired the DSP with Real Red and Secret Sea cardstock, and the combination creates such a beautiful, traditional holiday look. You know when everything just clicks? Yep—this was one of those crafting moments!

For the card, I used Basic White cardstock to layer the inside and to create the crisp die-cut labels on the front. Those layered labels paired with the Secret Sea mat—are you kidding me?! So good.

The DSP panels create the perfect backdrop, and that Real Red Shiny Ribbon adds just the right touch of elegance. And of course, I had to add a few 2025–2027 In Color Flat Pearls (because everything is better with a little sparkle, right?).

A few Stampin’ Dimensionals brought some extra lift to the sentiment, so it really pops off the card. Simple steps… stunning result.

Now let’s talk about this adorable treat box. It’s the perfect little companion project—a sweet handmade gift for neighbors, teachers, co-workers, or anyone who needs a little holiday cheer.

I used the same DSP and color palette to keep things cohesive, and that big Real Red bow absolutely steals the show. The label on the front is layered the same way as the card, tying the pair together beautifully. This box fits small candies, chocolate squares, or even a tiny handmade gift. 

I hope these projects inspire you to create your own! 

Happy Stamping!

Traditions of Christmas | Session One Weekly Card Class

Hey friends! This week, during Session One of our Weekly Card Class, we created two simple yet absolutely stunning cards using leftover scraps from my Traditions of Christmas Creative Kit. I love when a project turns into a "use what's already on your desk" moment, and that's exactly how these cards came together.

If you missed Tuesday’s class, don’t worry—you can catch the full replay in the video linked below.

Both cards start with Real Red cardstock, paired with a crisp layer of Basic White on the inside for writing your message. Then I pulled in pieces of the Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper—those gorgeous scraps left over from my kit projects. The patterns worked together beautifully, and honestly…are you kidding me?! They look fantastic on these layouts.

For the sentiments and labels, I used the Traditional Labels Bundle. The stamps are gorgeous, and those dies always cut so clean and elegant. I layered everything with Stampin’ Dimensionals (because dimension makes everything better, right?) and finished each card with a sprinkle of Iridescent Foil Gems for just the right touch of shine.

These cards came together so quickly—perfect for duplicating if you’re making last-minute Christmas or holiday cards. Truly, you could mass-produce both designs in no time.

I hope these cards inspire you to dive into your scraps and create something gorgeous today.
