Hope Joy Love – 3 Christmas Cards & Hot Foiling | LIVE Replay

Christmas card making is in full swing, and I had so much fun creating these three cards during my latest Facebook LIVE!Christmas crafting and hot foiling — such a pretty combination!

This week I featured the Hope Joy Love Bundle from Stampin’ Up!®, along with a little hot foiling to add some extra sparkle. We created three very different Christmas cards using the same bundle, and I love how they turned out!

If you missed the LIVE, no worries! You can catch the replay below and craft along whenever it works for you.

For this class, I created three cards, each featuring a different technique.

Card 1 – Wishing You Joy

This card features Lost Lagoon snowflakes, Cherry Cobbler cardstock and a little white heat embossing. I love the clean and simple look, with the JOY greeting taking centre stage!

Card 2 – HO HO HO

For this card, I used the Swiss Dots Hot Foil Die with red foil to create the background. The HO HO HO greeting was stamped in Real Red, and those gorgeous holographic stars add just the right amount of sparkle!

Card 3 – Hope Love Joy

This one combines the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder with Secret Sea ink and cardstock. I also used the leftover red foil from our second card with the Reverse Hot Foil Plate to create the banner and heart. I love being able to use up that beautiful foil!

Want to make these three cards yourself? I’d love to send you the supplies!

Place a $75 CAD or more order with me by Sunday, October 11, 2026 at midnight Pacific, and I’ll send you the Make & Take packet for all three cards FREE!

Your packet will include the precut cardstock and specialty pieces needed for the projects. I’ll even do the hot foiling for you! You’ll receive the red and white hot-foiled pieces, along with holographic-foiled cardstock ready for you to die cut your stars.

Please note: You will need to own the Hope Joy Love Bundle to complete these cards, along with your own inks, adhesives and basic crafting supplies. Stamped images are not included.

Your qualifying order must be $75 or more before tax and shipping, and after any Stampin’ Rewards have been applied.

Make sure you’re shopping with me! You should see Leah Dixon at the top of the Stampin’ Up! shopping page. If not, simply click Find a Demonstrator and select me.

Here is a full list of supplies used to create these cards.

And don’t forget, you’ll also receive the Crafty Collaborations Tutorial Bundle with your qualifying order!

The Hope Joy Love 3-Card Tutorial is available in my Payhip Shop for just $10.

Watch the Replay

Didn’t catch me live? You can watch the YouTube replay here:

For this week’s LIVE, I pulled out the adorable Woodland Wishes images and created this sweet Christmas card featuring the deer, fox and polar bear. I love these little woodland friends, especially paired with the bright red pattern from the A Stitched Season Designer Series Paper, some Shimmering Stripes 12X12 Specialty DSP, vellum and that fun Multicolor Christmas Baker’s Twine.

Even better, I created this card using all the same materials as the cards in my upcoming Woodland Wishes Card Class To Go! It’s not one of the class projects, but it gives you another idea for using those supplies after class.

Woodland Wishes Card Class To Go

If you love these cute little critters as much as I do, there’s still time to join me!
