Festive Friday: Llama Fun Fold Card Featuring Long Time No See

Welcome back to another Festive Friday! This week I’m continuing my Christmas card series with a fun and festive creation using the Long Time No See stamp set — the same set I featured in this week’s Card Class To Go.

This card is all about holiday cheer, bright colours, and a playful layout! It features a bold Granny Apple Green card base with a fun fold layout, making it extra interactive and perfect for sending a bit of joy this holiday season.

🎨 Design Details:

  • Stamp Set: Long Time No See
  • Card Base: Granny Apple Green
  • Designer Series Paper: Take a Bow DSP (retiring – Last Chance!)
  • Colouring: Stampin’ Blends in Crumb Cake, Real Red, Granny Apple Green, and Shaded Spruce
  • Embellishments: Peppermint Dots add a sweet, dimensional touch
  • Sentiment: “Merry Merry Merry Christmas” – a playful stacked greeting to match the llama’s long scarf!

I love how this card combines whimsy with traditional Christmas colours. The Take a Bow DSP adds a fun polka-dot backdrop, and this fold is sure to stand out on the mantel.

✂️ Tips & Tricks:

  • Mix and match Stampin’ Blends for a soft, blended fur effect on the llama.
  • Stack your sentiments with dimensionals for added depth.
  • Use a white gel pen to add highlights to your lights or scarf for a pop of brightness.

📦 Don’t Forget!
The Take a Bow DSP is on the Last Chance List, so grab it before it’s gone! And if you loved this stamp set, check out this week’s Card Class To Go featuring more fun llama-themed designs!

Join me July 9–15 for a special Long Time No See Card Class To Go, where we’ll make four fun projects using this set — just like this card and more!

Festive Friday: Sending a Jar Full of Cheer!

After a brief rest from Festive Friday (end-of-school exhaustion is real!), I’m back and excited to share this vibrant Christmas card featuring the brand-new Jar of Joy stamp set — an Online Exclusive you won’t find in any catalogue!

I lThis cheerful card came together using the following festive favourites:

🎄 Jar of Joy Stamp & Die Bundle – Online Exclusive
🎄 Take a Bow 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper – Last Chance item
🎄 Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics – Last Chance item
🎄 Iridescent Pearls – for a subtle holiday sparkle
🎄 Basics 3D Embossing Folder – for the textured background

The adorable jar is filled with gingerbread cookies and festive treats, and the sentiment “Sending a jar full of cheer” adds the perfect seasonal message. I layered strips of DSP to create a fun, playful background and popped the jar up with dimensionals for added interest.

🫙 CRAFTING TIP: Use scraps of coordinating DSP to build quick and dynamic backgrounds — it’s a great way to use every last bit of your paper!

Cheers to You! Featuring the Celebratory Sips Suite

Let’s raise a glass! 🥂

In today’s Facebook Live, I shared a bright and cheerful card using the Celebratory Sips Suite—which also happens to be the featured suite for my upcoming Celebratory Sips Mega Stamp Camp. I couldn’t resist creating with these adorable drink images and fun textures.

Here’s a closer look at the card:

👉 I started with an Old Olive card base and added a Glass & Gardens embossed background (I love how it adds subtle texture!).
👉 The drinks were fussy cut from the DSP in the suite—aren’t they adorable?
👉 I layered them onto a Soft Sea Foam Everyday Arch, stamped some Old Olive mint leaves behind for extra greenery, and tied it together with that stunning Gold Striped Ribbon.
👉 For sparkle, I used the Holographic Resin Dots—love the shine they give!
👉 The sentiment, stamped in Blackberry Bliss, pops perfectly against the soft background.

You can catch the replay of today’s Live on You Tube—let me know what you think of this card!

💡 Why I love this suite:
The Celebratory Sips Suite makes it SO easy to create cards for birthdays, brunches, and summer parties. The fun drink imagery, fresh colour palette, and versatile sentiments mean you can use it year-round. Plus, the matching DSP makes designing quick and easy—just cut, layer, and go!

Here is a full list of supplies I used on today’s card.


🎉 Want to craft along with me?
