Festive Friday | GDP500 CASE the Designer Challenge: Hanukkah Card

Leave a comment

This week’s Festive Friday project is extra special! I’m joining in on the Global Design Project’s GDP500 CASE the Designer challenge — and I’ve put my own twist on Kim Fee’s beautiful Christmas card by creating a Hanukkah-themed version. That’s the fun of CASE-ing — Copy And Selectively Edit!

My card features:

🟦 Florals in Bloom DSP — the bold Secret Sea print really pops!
💙 Stamps in Night of Navy ink — classic and crisp for that star-studded look.
🎀 Night of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon — a long-time fave that’s now on the Last Chance list! Don’t miss it.
✨ Loose Gold Sequins — perfect for a touch of sparkle.

This layout is so versatile — it was fun to take inspiration from Kim’s Christmas card and use it to celebrate another beautiful holiday.

🎨 CASE Tip: Keep the bold sentiment and balanced background while swapping out colors, occasion, or embellishments to make the design your own.

Festive Friday – Most Wonderful Wreath Card with Watercolour & Heat Embossing

Leave a comment

Festive Friday is here again, and I’m thrilled to share this cool-toned, elegant card featuring the brand-new Most Wonderful stamp set from Stampin’ Up!®

This project is all about layers, texture, and techniques. Here’s how it came together:

🔹 I started by heat embossing the wreath image from the stamp set in clear embossing powder onto Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.
🔹 Once it cooled, I added a loose Pretty Peacock watercolour wash right over the top. The resist technique lets that wreath pop through beautifully!
🔹 After drying, I layered the panel onto a Pool Party card base.

For the sentiment, I used a Basic White banner cut by hand and stamped with the gorgeous large script from the Most Wonderful stamp set in Strawberry Slush Ink. It’s mounted with Stampin’ Dimensionals for that pop!

✨ Embellishing details:

  • Die-cut foliage in Pool Party (from the Year of Flowers dies)
  • A bow of Linen Thread for a rustic holiday touch
  • And the lightest gems from the Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems pack to add a subtle sparkle.

💡 Tips for Your Craft Table:

  • Clear embossing + watercolour is a must-try combo! The resist effect gives amazing texture and depth without overpowering your focal image.
  • Use colour families like Pretty Peacock + Pool Party for soft elegance and contrast with a bold ink like Strawberry Slush to help your sentiment shine.
  • Precut die shapes in a neutral or coordinating colour to keep handy when layering up quick cards.

Festive Friday: Sweet Jar + Peppermint Dots Christmas Card

Leave a comment

Happy Festive Friday, friends!

Today’s project is bursting with charm and sweetness thanks to the Sweet Jar bundle, one of my new favourites. I filled the stamped jar with Real Red hearts and peppermint candies and layered it over a bold print from the Take a Bow 6×6 Designer Series Paper—which is retiring soon, so grab it before it’s gone!

To give the layout some balance and polish, I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to create crisp stitched circles behind the jar and sentiment. The sentiment comes from mixing the a sentiment from the Sweet Jar stamp set with the classic Greetings of the Season stamp set.

But the real magic? That Secret Sea ink and thin trim of cardstock—just enough to cool down all that red and make everything pop. It’s my new go-to neutral and I’m obsessed!

The Adhesive-Backed Peppermint Dots and a simple bow of Real Red & White Baker’s Twine complete the look with a playful, candy-cane twist.

Festive Friday: Humble Home + Peppermint Dots Christmas Card

Leave a comment

Happy Festive Friday, friends!

This week’s handmade Christmas card is all about sweet details and versatile layouts. I used the Humble Home stamp set and punch to create the cutest gingerbread house focal point, accented with Adhesive-Backed Peppermint Dots for a fun holiday pop.

The Take a Bow 6×6 Designer Series Paper—a retiring favourite on the Last Chance List—adds a joyful mix of stripes and polka dots. I tied everything together with a bow of White 1/4″ Ribbon for that finishing touch.

✅ This layout is a repeat of yesterday’s Throwback Thursday—because when a design works, I say use it again!
✅ Great for batch card-making during the holidays.

Festive Friday: Winter Meadows Meets 2025 In Colors

Leave a comment

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!

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!

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

If you love cards that are both serene and striking, this week’s Festive Friday creation is sure to inspire! I paired the Fragrant Forest background stamp with a warm holiday greeting from the Greetings of the Season stamp set, all framed with a stitched tag die from the Merriest Trees Dies. The finishing touches? A pop of shine with the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foil Gems and a sweet Black & Very Vanilla Gingham Ribbon bow.

This card came together beautifully with a limited colour palette and minimal layers, which makes it easy to recreate—perfect for batch-making your holiday cards!

✨ Cardmaking Tips:

  • Add a ribbon bow to soften the design and create visual balance.
  • Use Pretty Peacock ink to stamp your background for rich depth and instant winter vibes.
  • Stamp your sentiment before die-cutting your tag for perfect placement every time.
  • Embellish thoughtfully—three gems add sparkle without overpowering the card.

Festive Friday: Let’s Decorate the Season

Leave a comment

This week’s Festive Friday card brings together soft winter textures and a heartwarming holiday message using the Sophisticated Sled stamp set. A delicate wreath, charming cardinal, and touches of shimmer make this an easy yet elegant design for the season.

Card Details:

The little cardinal, hand-colored and popped up with dimensionals, adds just the right pop of festive red.

The wreath and sentiment are from the Sophisticated Sled stamp set, stamped in Lost Lagoon and Pebbled Path.

I layered the panel on Timeless Plaid DSP, which gives a cozy, wintery background in soft blues and taupes.

Basic Beige ribbon adds warmth and texture, while Blooming Pearls and Pearlized Enamel Effects give a lovely shimmer to the wreath.

Why You’ll Love This Card:

✔ Clean, classic layout that’s easy to replicate
✔ Subtle sparkle and texture elevate the design
✔ Perfect for winter greetings and holiday cardmaking
