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.

    HSS468 – Celebratory Sips Inspiration Challenge

    Leave a comment

    This week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge (#HSS468) is filled with summery fun, so I reached for my Celebratory Sips 12×12 DSP and created a trio of refreshing drink elements to fussy cut. For the backdrop, I watercoloured loose circles on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper using Azure Afternoon and Blueberry Bushel reinkers.

    🌟 Watercolour Tip: Start by painting your circle shape with just water, then load your brush with a watered-down drop of reinker. When you add this to your wet area, the colour blooms beautifully, and using two shades together creates stunning blends and movement!

    I mounted everything on Blueberry Bushel and Azure Afternoon cardstock, and finished the look with Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Adhesive-backed Gems. A perfect “Cheers—it’s your day!” kind of card!

    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.

    👉 Check out all Online Exclusives here

    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!

    Cheers to Colour! | Global Design Project #GDP504 – CASE the Designer

    Leave a comment

    I’m so excited to play along with this week’s Global Design Project Challenge #GDP504 – a “CASE the Designer” featuring the incredibly talented Mikaela Titheridge. Her soft colour blending and layout were so inspiring, and I knew I wanted to echo that joyful background and layered look.

    For my version, I went bold, bright, and fruity using the Cheers & Sips Bundle – the perfect pick for summer celebrations!

    🖌 How I Created This Card:

    1. The Background:
    I started with a piece of Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and painted three horizontal washes using these vibrant Stampin’ Up! colours:

    • Timid Tiger (top)
    • Strawberry Slush (middle)
    • Lemon Lime Twist (bottom)

    I kept the strokes loose and organic for that fresh, summery look. Once dry, I cut the panel using the stitched rectangle from the Textured Notes Dies.

    2. Embossed Gate Fold Base:
    My card base is a gatefold design using Summer Splash cardstock. I embossed both front flaps using the gorgeous Glass & Gardens 3D Embossing Folder, which adds such an elegant texture to frame the bright centre panel.

    3. Stamped & Coloured Elements:
    Using the Cheers & Sips Bundle, I stamped the citrus, strawberry, and lime images in Calypso Coral, Secret Sea and Old Olive Inks and coloured them in with Stampin’ Blends (matching the watercolour stripes – Peach Pie for the citrus, Strawberry Slush for the strawberry and Granny Apple Green for the lime).

    4. Sentiment & Finishing Touches:
    The sentiment, “Cheers – Let’s Celebrate!”, is stamped in Secret Sea and die-cut with the banner from the Stylish Shapes Dies. For a final bit of sparkle, I added a few Holographic Resin Dots.

    Want to create this at home? All the supplies I used are listed below – just click to shop!


    💡 Why I Love This Card:

    It’s bright, playful, and perfect for summer birthdays, BBQ invites, or just saying “cheers” to a friend. I love how the fruit and colours play together and how the embossed gatefold makes it extra special.

    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!

    Introducing the Jar of Joy Card Class To Go!

    Leave a comment

    This month’s Card Class To Go features the adorable Jar of Joy stamp set – a brand-new Online Exclusive that coordinates perfectly with the Sweet Jar Builder Punch. It’s festive, fun, and ideal for holiday crafting!

    I’ve paired it with:

    • Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP
    • Real Red & White Baker’s Twine
    • Real Red & White Adhesive-Backed Peppermint Dots

    This class includes everything you need to make four festive cards, and the Make ’n’ Take kit + PDF tutorial are FREE with a $60 order (before tax/shipping) in Canada.

    ⛄ 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!

    Here’s how to get your kit:
    Place a $60+ order (before tax & shipping) in my online store between July 2–9, 2025, and I’ll send you all four card kits (1 of each design) as a thank-you gift. See below for a full list of supplies used to create these cards.
