Heart of Christmas 6: Three easy cards with no stamping in sight!

Welcome to the Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2025!
I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

These handmade cards features my favourite Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Greetings for You Mix and Match Ephemera Pack.

Here are my cards

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THESE CARDS
Sharing the beauty of this spectacular paper with the gold foil accents with a predominant white card base.  Which one is your favourite?

How you can re-create these cards

1. Create the base – a Thick White card base, 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Texture – Dry emboss using embossing folders – Card 1 is Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder and Card 3 uses the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.

3. Layering – Card 1 has a Party Banners die cut on top of the embossed layer. Card 2 has Old Olive cardstock, then a diecut of Basic White Textured Notes die, then some DSP. Card 3 – Basic White then a rectangle frame in Bubble Bath.

4. Fussy cut/die cut – The images on cards 1 & 3 are die cut using the coordinating Christmas Greenery dies. It’s so cool that these work with the stamp set, but also patterns in the DSP! Both of these cards also have extra pieces above that are fussy cut from the partrial images on the edges of the DSP. Don’t waste these, you can also add these to the inside of your card or on the envelope.

5. Add the sentiment – each of the cards has a sentiment from the Greetings for You Mix and Match Ephemera Pack.

6. Finishing touches – Traditional Sparkling Sequins are added to each card for extra sparkle!

Many of us also participate in the Colour Creations Instagram hop that goes live every Wednesday night. We showcase one SU colour each week. We would love you to follow us!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Monday for more Chrismas inspiration.

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Claire Daly.
