Festive Friday: Winter Meadows Meets 2025 In Colors

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 ColorsSecret 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!

Product List:


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. ❄️🦌

Festive Friday – A Touch of Elegance + Double Stampin’ Rewards!

Welcome to another Festive Friday—your weekly dose of holiday inspiration to help you stay ahead on Christmas cards this year!

This week’s card is all about shimmer and simplicity. I paired the gorgeous Season of Elegance Designer Series Paper (DSP) with a timeless Merry Christmas sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set. The mix of gold foil and rich color makes it perfect for elegant holiday greetings that come together quickly but still have a “wow” factor.

🛠️ Cardmaking Tips:

  • Strip Smart: Use ¾” strips of DSP from coordinating patterns to stretch your supplies and build a polished design. It’s a great way to use scraps!
  • Pop it up: Mount your sentiment on a contrasting mat and use Stampin’ Dimensionals to make it stand out.
  • Ribbon Matters: A textured ribbon (like this sparkly Pretty Peacock & Gold mesh one) ties it all together—literally!
  • Finish Strong: Add a fewAnitque Pearls for a touch of festive sparkle without overwhelming the design.

Festive Friday – Wishing You a Merry Christmas with Fragrant Forest

If you love cards that are both serene and striking, this week’s Festive Friday creation is sure to inspire!

Festive Friday #11 – Humble Home Bundle Christmas Card

Happy Festive Friday, crafters! This week, I’m featuring the Humble Home Bundle to create a cozy, classic Christmas card with warm gingerbread vibes. If you love simple yet elegant holiday cards, this design is perfect for you!


How It Came Together:

I started by embossing a Basic White 4″ X 5-1/4″ panel with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder to create a subtle, textured background. The 1/2″ vertical strips of Take a Bow DSP add a modern yet festive look with their real red design.

The star of the card is the adorable house from the Humble Home Bundle, which I heat embossed in white on Pecan Pie cardstock. This gives it that charming gingerbread house effect! I punched out the image and popped it up on a Stylish Shapes stitched circle die-cut to help it stand out.

To finish it off, I stamped Merry Christmas in Real Red and scattered some tiny Peppermint Dots around the house.

Why You’ll Love This Card:

✔ Quick and easy holiday design
✔ Great way to use DSP scraps
✔ The embossed background adds dimension without bulk
✔ Perfect for mass-producing Christmas cards

Don’t wait—these Last Chance items won’t be around for long! Click below to shop the supplies and recreate this stylish Festive Friday card for your own holiday collection.

Here’s what I used to create this card:


Versamark Pad
$13.00
Paper Trimmer
$39.00
Simply Shammy
$12.25

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Create the Card Base & Layers

Start with a Pebbled Path cardstock base (5-1/2″ X 8-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″)—a stunning deep neutral that pairs beautifully with the gold accents. Layer a piece of Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP (4″ X 5-1/4″) on top, centering it for a clean, polished look.

2. Prepare the Label

Using the Greeting of the Season dies, cut a stitched label from Basic Black cardstock. This dark base makes the gold embossing truly pop!

3. Add the Heat Embossing

Stamp the “Wishing You a Merry Christmas” sentiment onto the label using Versamark Ink. Sprinkle Gold Embossing Powder over the stamped image, tap off the excess, and heat set with a Heat Tool for a luxurious metallic finish.

*Tip – since these words are all seperate in the stamp set, I laid them out on the label in the position I wanted, then I place a clear block on top of them so they were all aligned on one block and easy to stamp at once. This allows me to make multiples of this card quickly and easily.

For extra sophistication, use a speckled texture stamp from the Layering Leaves Stamp Set to add gold-embossed details to the edges of the label.

4. Add the Finishing Touches

Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the label off the background, adding depth to your design.

Tie a bow with Basic Beige Bordered Ribbon and attach it to the top of the label.

Embellish with Antique Pearls for subtle texture and shine.

Adhere a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside for a clean space to write.
