Festive Friday with Jolly Holly

Leave a comment

This week’s Festive Friday card was inspired by my August Card Class to Go featuring the Jolly Holly Bundle. I decided to create an extra card using this gorgeous set and its coordinating hybrid embossing folder.

✂️ How I Made This Card:

  • I started with a Pretty Peacock card base and ran a layer through the Jolly Holly Hybrid Embossing Folder (witht he die inserted).
  • To make the holly leaves pop, I gently dragged my Craft White Ink Pad across the raised areas—this creates such beautiful contrast and texture.
  • I then adhered the embossed panel to the card base, but here’s the trick—Dimensionals went only behind the cut-out leaves. This gives them a little lift, making the whole design more dimensional and eye-catching. Make sure to grab any small edge leaves that may fall away and add them in place with Dimensionals as well. If needed, use a Mini Glue Dot or other flat adhesive to hold the corners down to the card base.
  • The sentiment is stamped in Pretty Peacock ink on a stitched rectangle (from the Jolly Holly bundle), accented with an embossed-and-die-cut holly cluster.
  • To create the holly bundle, I fully cut out a piece of holly from another hybrid embossed sheet of Basic White cardstock. Then I coloured the berries and coated them in clear embossing powder. Next I used a blending brush to add Pretty Peacock Ink to the leaves.
  • I finished off the card with a few Iridescent Foil Gems for a touch of holiday sparkle.

This design is simple yet elegant, perfect for making multiples as part of your Christmas card stash.

✨ Tip: The drag-ink technique works best with pigment ink pads like Craft White, as they give you bold coverage and time to blend if desired.

Throwback Thursday: Revisiting the Nests of Christmas Paper Pumpkin Kit

Leave a comment

I love revisiting my Paper Pumpkin kits, especially when they coordinate so perfectly with current products! This week, I pulled out the Nests of Christmas Paper Pumpkin kit from October 2024 and created three brand-new alternative cards using the coordinating Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP and the stunning Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon.

  • Die cut a Basic White and a Shaded Spruce Everyday Arch that can layer together. Glue them together and then glue to a Pool Party layer ( either a piece from the Paper Pumpkin kit or a 4″ X 5-1/4″ layer of Nests of Winter DSP).
  • Tie a piece of Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon around this layer and attach to a Thick Basic White card base.
  • Stamp the sentiment using Shaded Spruce Ink on one of the extra labels from the kit ( or cut your own with Stylish Shapes dies). Attach to the card front using Dimensionals.
  • Fussy cut a bird on a branch and an extra branch from the Nests of Winter DSP and glue to the card front ( tuck the ends under the sentiment label).
  • Embellish with Iridescent Foil Gems.

🛍️ Shop the Supplies:


🧵 BONUS: I have TWO full Nests of Christmas Paper Pumpkin kits available — directly from me (not Stampin’ Up!). These are $35 CAD each (+ shipping if needed). If you’re in Canada, contact me directly to arrange local pickup or mailing.

✨ You can also catch my original unboxing + 2 alternatives on YouTube here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EOk43pdpPY&list=PLfZU8O6t1_SEy0Vv9A1Xf0ykL-5hp7djD&index=8

In addition to this sweet winter card, I created 3 other alternatives. Each of these uses bits from the Paper Pumpkin kit added on to a card stock base rather than creating the cards as intended. Let’s take a look at each of the new cards!

This week’s Global Design Project Challenge #GDP507 is all about celebrating the holidays early. I decided to go modern and bold with my Festive Friday creation—featuring a black background, shining gold embossing, and the stunning Most Wonderful stamp set.

✂️ How I Made This Card:

  • Card Base: Thick Basic White
  • Background Panel: Basic Black cardstock stamped with Most Wonderful stamp set – all stamps mounted together
  • Heat Embossing: Versamark ink + Gold Embossing Powder
  • Sentiment: Memento Black on Thick Basic White using the Stylish Shapes dies
  • Ribbon: Gold Mesh Ribbon
  • Embellishments: Loose sequins adhered with liquid glue
  • Adhesive: Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue

✨ Try this technique with your own stamp sets—mounting them all at once makes a bold, custom background that’s perfect for embossing!

Festive Friday: Bright & Happy with Jolly Holly

Leave a comment

Happy Festive Friday! Today’s holiday card was created using the brand new Jolly Holly Bundle (an Online Exclusive!) and the GDP506 sketch for layout inspiration. With custom-stamped floral accents, bold texture, and a rich traditional palette, this is a fun, cheerful addition to your Christmas card stash.

And don’t forget — Stampin’ Up!’s FREE Shipping ends TONIGHT (July 25 at 11:59pm MT). Stock up on Online Exclusives like Jolly Holly while you can!

💡 Leah’s Crafting Tips:

🖼 Create your own patterned paper!
The centre strip isn’t from DSP — I hand-stamped and coloured the florals and greenery from the Jolly Holly stamp set using Stampin’ Blends. It’s a beautiful way to customize your colour palette or match any project theme!

✂️ Modify your dies:
The sentiment label was created using the Textured Notes Dies, but I trimmed it with a double cut technique to make it narrower — perfect for this long sentiment while keeping those stitched details.

    Festive Friday: Dressed-Up Dachshund for the Holidays

    Leave a comment

    It’s another Festive Friday, and I’m sharing a card that’s sure to make you smile! This week’s card features the Long Time No See stamp set — a super cute Online Exclusive — paired with the beautifully rich Regal Distressed Patterns 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper.

    The star of this card? A fashionable little dachshund decked out for Christmas in a cozy, hand-coloured sweater!

    Card Details:

    🐾 Stamp Set: Long Time No See (Online Exclusive)
    🎄 DSP: Regal Distressed Patterns
    🖍 Colours Used:

    • Dog: Pecan Pie
    • Sweater: Cherry Cobbler, Pretty Peacock, Old Olive
    • Sentiment: Cherry Cobbler

    🎨 Extra Touches:

    • Holly at the collar was hand drawn, coloured, and fussy cut
    • Accented with Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries
    • Framed with a Texture Notes rectangle die

    🎨 Leah’s Pro Tip:

    When placing the dachshund on your block, tilt his tail back slightly. This creates space for the sentiment between his tail and head — keeping your layout clean and balanced!

    This card is a wonderful reminder that you can get creative even with small touches — like drawing and cutting your own holly for that festive flair. And don’t forget, the Long Time No See set is an Online Exclusive, so you’ll only find it in the online shop — not in any printed catalogues.

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

    Leave a comment

    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!

    Festive Friday: Sending a Jar Full of Cheer!

    Leave a comment

    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!

    ⛄ Card 1: Snowman in the Snow
    A snow-dusted background with an Everyday Arch to frame the happiest little snowman. Finished with twine and the sentiment “Sending a jar full of cheer”, this card brings wintry warmth with its cool blues and cozy textures.

    🎁 Card 2: Jar of Ornaments Joy
    Bright and bold with a Real Red background, this card features stamped ornaments inside a jar, twine-wrapped layers, and a sweet sentiment: “May your heart be filled with joy.” Perfect for mass-producing with a pop of cheer!

    🍬 Card 3: Gingerbread Peppermint Delight
    A sweet treat of a card! The jar is filled with gingerbread, peppermint candies, and stars. With a plaid embossed background, an icy Pool Party DSP and sentiment “Wishing you the sweetest Christmas,” this is a standout for candy-lovers and bakers alike!

    🌲 Card 4: Rustic Snowman Scene
    Layered with corrugated Gray Granite cardstock and birch-print DSP, this rustic design is modern yet warm. The offset stitched circles and Secret Sea accents give the snowman jar center stage!
