Festive Friday Week 3 – Spotlight on the Take a Bow DSP

Happy Friday, stamping friends! Welcome back to Festive Friday, where I share holiday card inspiration to keep your Christmas crafting on track all year long. This week, I’ve paired the versatile Take a Bow Designer Series Paper (DSP) with the Peaceful Season Stamp Set and Dies. These products create a stunning mix of festive textures and classic holiday charm.

The bold patterns of the DSP shine as a focal point, while subtle embossed backgrounds add texture and depth to the designs. I kept the color palette traditional with shades of green, red, and white, adding pops of sparkle and dimension with glimmer paper accents, linen thread, and sequins.

Whether you’re drawn to elegant sentiments like “Peace & Joy” or bold greetings like “Merry Christmas,” these cards are simple yet impactful, perfect for spreading holiday cheer.

Why You’ll Love These Products:

  • Take a Bow DSP: The festive patterns and rich colors make it a versatile choice for holiday projects.

Festive Friday Week 2 – Featuring the Iconic Imagery Bundle!

Happy Friday, friends! I’m so excited to share my second Festive Friday creation with you. This series is part of my crafting goals for 2025: to create one Christmas card every week and keep the holiday spirit alive year-round. It’s been such a joy to embrace this challenge and spark inspiration for Christmas crafting early in the year.

This week’s card spotlights the Iconic Imagery Stamp Set and Dies Bundle, and the Iconic Celebrations Designer Series Paper (DSP). These products are a dream for creating timeless designs with a touch of elegance. Let’s dive into the details of this project!

The Card Design

For this card, I wanted to showcase the versatility of the Iconic Imagery Bundle. The layered DSP creates depth and adds a beautiful contrast between the soft pinks and vibrant greens. The stamped images are simple yet striking, perfectly complementing the patterns in the DSP.

Here are some of the key features of this card:

  • Background Stamping: I used the foliage stamps from the Iconic Imagery set to add subtle details to the green card base, creating a cohesive look.
  • Layered DSP: The Designer Series Paper adds so much interest with its mix of classic Christmas motifs. The pink tree pattern is one of my favorites, offering a fresh take on holiday colors.
  • Focal Point: The “Celebrate the Season” sentiment is fussy-cut and layered on a stitched circle, accented with stamped greenery and Adhesive-backed Pearl Trio “berries” for a polished finish.

This design is perfect for mass-producing Christmas cards or as a one-of-a-kind creation for someone special!

Supplies Used

Here’s what I used to create this card:


Paper Snips
[103579]
$16.50

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Base: Start with a Thick Basic White card base. Cut it to 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” and score at 4-1/4”. Stamp the foliage images randomly across the background in Mossy Meadows ink.
  2. Layer the DSP: Cut pieces of the Iconic Imagery DSP to 3” x 4” and 2” x 4”. Layer them on the card base, slightly offset for added dimension.
  3. Create the Sentiment: Stamp “Celebrate the Season” in Rich Razzleberry ink on Basic White cardstock. Die-cut the sentiment and a stitched circle using the Iconic Imagery Dies. Stamp greenery and berries on the circle for a decorative touch.
  4. Assemble the Card: Adhere the stitched circle and sentiment to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few adhesive-backed pearls to the berries for added detail.
  5. Finishing Touches: Double-check your card for balance and alignment, and it’s ready to go!

Why I Love the Iconic Imagery Bundle

This bundle is perfect for crafters who love timeless designs and versatile products. Whether you’re creating cards, tags, or scrapbook layouts, the stamps and dies in this set are endlessly inspiring. Plus, the DSP’s mix of traditional and modern patterns makes it a must-have for holiday crafting.
