Festive Friday Week 5 – Quick & Simple with the Christmas Labels Stamp Set

Welcome back to Festive Friday! This week’s card is a special one—it’s my first card post-surgery, and I’m so happy to be back crafting! Since I needed something easy and stress-free, I created a quick and simple Christmas card featuring the Christmas Labels Stamp Set & Dies. This bundle is currently on the Last Chance List, so if you love it, now is the time to grab it before it’s gone! ⏳

Let’s take a closer look at this week’s design! 🎄✨


The Card Design

For this week’s layout, I kept things clean and simple, focusing on the gorgeous label die and festive stamped elements. This design is perfect for mass-producing if you’re getting a head start on holiday cards for Christmas 2025!

Card Highlights:

  • Stamp Set & Dies: Christmas Labels Stamp Set & Dies (Last Chance List!)
  • Quick & Simple Layout: A great go-to design when you need an easy yet beautiful card.
  • Festive Color Palette: A rich combination of Cherry Cobbler, Basic White, and Pretty Peacock for a classic holiday feel.
  • Elegant Texture: The embossed background adds a soft snowfall effect, making the design extra special.
  • Metallic Accents: A gold trim bow and subtle embellishments bring warmth and shimmer to the card.

Supplies Used

Here’s what I used to create this card:


Bough Punch
[157711]
$33.00
Paper Snips
[103579]
$16.50

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Card Base: Cut a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock to 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2”.
  2. Emboss the 2nd layer: Use the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder to add a soft snowfall texture to a 4-1/4” x 4-3/4” piece of Basic White cardstock.
  3. Add Designer Series Paper: Cut a 4-1/4″ X 2-1/4″strip of Regal Distressed Pattern DSP (Cherry Cobbler and gold grid) and adhere it across the center of the embossed layer.
  4. Add Ribbon: Wrap a piece of gold trim and make a bow on the left side for a touch of elegance and then secure the whole layer to the card base.
  5. Die-Cut the Label: Using the Christmas Labels Dies, cut a decorative label from Basic White cardstock.
  6. Stamp the Sentiment: In Cherry Cobbler ink, stamp a holiday sentiment from the Christmas Labels Stamp Set onto the label. Attach this label to the right side of the card front using Dimenisonals.
  7. Create the Foliage Accent: Use the Bough Punch to create the Pretty Peacock foliage from the Season of Elegance DSP and tuck them behind the sentiment label, hold in place with Mini Glue Dots.
  8. Add Finishing Touches: Scatter a few Iridescent Foil Gems for subtle sparkle.

Why I Love This Design

Sometimes, simple is best! 💕 This layout is fast, elegant, and easy to replicate, making it a great choice for mass-producing holiday cards. Whether you’re crafting after a break (like me!) or just need a quick holiday project, this design is perfect.

A Happy Hibiscus Card Tutorial!

Hi, friends!

I wanted to let you know there won’t be a live video today as I’m spending time with family. Thank you for your understanding! I’ll be back soon to share more crafty inspiration and fun projects with you.

In the meantime, I’m excited to share this beautiful card I created using the online-exclusive Happy Hibiscus stamp set and hybrid embossing folder. This set is packed with tropical vibes and stunning details, perfect for adding a touch of sunshine to your projects!

Card Details

Here’s a closer look at the card:

The vibrant hibiscus flower is the star of this card, complemented by the intricate embossed background created with the hybrid embossing folder. I used a bright color palette to bring the tropical theme to life, but you can customize it to fit your style!

You can find a full list of materials used below. You can order any of these supplies from me here: https://www.stampinup.ca?hostcode=X7VTGRN4


Paper Snips
[103579]
$16.50

To create this card – emboss a 4″ X 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White with the Happy Hibiscus embossing folder and a ttach to the Thick Basic White cardbase. Then die cut and emboss two of the flowers using the hybrid dies. Add Daffodil Delight and Flirty Flamingo Ink to the cut outs using sponge daubers and/or blending brushes.

Then use a blending brush to add Balmy Blue Ink to a Greetings of the Season tag die cut. Stamp the sentiment in Balmy Blue and attach the flowers around it. Add the twine to the top and use Dimensionals to attach the tag to the card front. Finally, embellish with Iridescent Pearls. This is a simple card to create and you can have so much fun switching up the colours.

When you place a $65 order this month I will also send you the link to a fantastic 29 project Tutorial Bundle as a thank you!

I hope this card inspires you to get creative! Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried these fabulous products yet or if you have any questions about the process. I’d love to see what you’re making!
