Festive Friday: Winter Meadows Meets 2025 In Colors

Leave a comment May 16, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

For this week’s Festive Friday, I’m spotlighting the stunning Winter Meadows 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper along with the elegant Greetings of the Season stamp set. These cards came together effortlessly thanks to this beautifully illustrated paper—perfect for creating serene winter scenes without needing a lot of stamping.

I chose two of the new 2025 In Colors—Secret Sea and Cloud Cover—to complement the soft, cool tones in the paper. One card keeps it simple with a single stamped sentiment and a peaceful forest scene, while the other adds layers, dry embossing, and a sweet bow for added texture and charm.

Why I Love This Paper

The Winter Meadows DSP makes cardmaking quick and satisfying. The imagery is detailed enough to stand on its own, meaning you can let the paper shine and still end up with a beautiful result. It’s ideal for making multiples during the busy holiday season!

If you’re looking to get a head start on your Christmas cards, give this combo a try! You’ll love how quickly your designs come together—and your recipients will love the cozy winter feel. ❄️🦌

Add All to Cart

Step-by-Step Instructions

Create the Card Base: Mark a full sheet of Night of Navy cardstock at 3″ down on the right and 3″ up on the left. Then cut lengthwise on that diagonal. Then score at 3” and 6-3/4” to create the Z-Fold. This will create 2 card bases.
Add Designer Paper: Cut tops on a diagonal and adhere pieces of Winter Meadow DSP to each panel of the card base. (2-3/4″ X 3-1/2″ ( front panel), 3-1/2″ X 4-1/4″ (middle panel), 4″ X 5-1/4″ ( back panel).
Stamp & Die Cut: Stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on a Basic White die-cut oval from the Greeting of the Season Bundle. Adhere to the card front using Dimensionals.
Add Greenery: Use Garden Green Ink and a blending brush to apply colour to two Bough Punch cut-outs. Tuck them behind the sentiment and adhere with Liquid Glue.
Finishing Touches: Attach a Navy & Gold ribbon bow to the oval and scatter a few gold sequins for extra sparkle.

Why I Love This Design

Z-Fold cards are simple yet impressive, making them great for special holiday greetings. The Winter Meadow DSP creates a soft, snowy background, while the Greeting of the Season Bundle provides an elegant finishing touch. This is a design you can easily recreate with different colors and papers!

Love this card? Don’t forget—the Greeting of the Season Bundle is on the Last Chance List, so grab it while you can!
