Hope Joy Love – 3 Christmas Cards & Hot Foiling | LIVE Replay

Leave a comment

Christmas card making is in full swing, and I had so much fun creating these three cards during my latest Facebook LIVE!Christmas crafting and hot foiling — such a pretty combination!

This week I featured the Hope Joy Love Bundle from Stampin’ Up!®, along with a little hot foiling to add some extra sparkle. We created three very different Christmas cards using the same bundle, and I love how they turned out!

If you missed the LIVE, no worries! You can catch the replay below and craft along whenever it works for you.

For this class, I created three cards, each featuring a different technique.

Card 1 – Wishing You Joy

This card features Lost Lagoon snowflakes, Cherry Cobbler cardstock and a little white heat embossing. I love the clean and simple look, with the JOY greeting taking centre stage!

Card 2 – HO HO HO

For this card, I used the Swiss Dots Hot Foil Die with red foil to create the background. The HO HO HO greeting was stamped in Real Red, and those gorgeous holographic stars add just the right amount of sparkle!

Card 3 – Hope Love Joy

This one combines the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder with Secret Sea ink and cardstock. I also used the leftover red foil from our second card with the Reverse Hot Foil Plate to create the banner and heart. I love being able to use up that beautiful foil!

Want to make these three cards yourself? I’d love to send you the supplies!

Place a $75 CAD or more order with me by Sunday, October 11, 2026 at midnight Pacific, and I’ll send you the Make & Take packet for all three cards FREE!

Christmas Hot Foiling with Magical Christmas & Graceful Evergreen Deer

Leave a comment

Christmas crafting and hot foiling — such a pretty combination!

Last night I wrapped up my little series of Hot Foil Lives with a Christmas card featuring two gorgeous hot foil products: the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Die and the Graceful Evergreen Deer Hot Foil Bundle.

If you missed me live, the replay is available so you can craft along (or just watch with a cup of coffee!).

During the LIVE, I showed you how to hot foil and cut the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Die. I love the beautiful, polished look that hot foil adds to a card — and once you see how the process works, it really isn’t as intimidating as it might seem!

For this card, I paired the Magical Christmas greeting with the Graceful Evergreen Deer Hot Foil Bundle. The foiled deer look so pretty against the stamped evergreen trees, and I love how the darker snowflake paper adds some contrast.

It feels festive and elegant without being overly complicated — my kind of Christmas card!

Here is a full list of supplies used to create this card.


Don’t forget about my October Product of the Month: the Shining Stars Dies!

When you place a $100 CAD order with me during October, you can purchase the Shining Stars Dies for just $7.

These are such versatile dies for Christmas, birthdays, celebrations and so much more. I think they’re going to be one of those sets you’ll reach for again and again.

For this week’s LIVE, I pulled out the adorable Woodland Wishes images and created this sweet Christmas card featuring the deer, fox and polar bear. I love these little woodland friends, especially paired with the bright red pattern from the A Stitched Season Designer Series Paper, some Shimmering Stripes 12X12 Specialty DSP, vellum and that fun Multicolor Christmas Baker’s Twine.

Even better, I created this card using all the same materials as the cards in my upcoming Woodland Wishes Card Class To Go! It’s not one of the class projects, but it gives you another idea for using those supplies after class.

Coast to Coast Creators: A Little Christmas DSP

Leave a comment

It’s time for another Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop, and this month we’re celebrating the brand new September–December 2026 Mini Catalogue!

There are so many fun new products in this catalogue, but I couldn’t resist creating with the A Little Christmas 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. Those sweet little Christmas mice are just too cute!

For my card, I really let the DSP do the work. I fussy cut the adorable mice, cookie jar, bow and gingerbread cookies directly from the patterned paper a ready made little Christmas scene. The large vellum circle behind the images gives everything a place to land while still allowing all those fun little details to shine.

I paired the patterned paper with Lost Lagoon and Cherry Cobbler, which gives the card a slightly softer take on traditional Christmas colours. The ‘Softly Woven 3D’ embossed Lost Lagoon background adds lots of texture without competing with the busy little scene in the centre.

A few gold embellishments and a little bow of twine add just enough extra detail. I finished the front with the “wishing you a festive season” sentiment, heat embossed in white on Cherry Cobbler cardstock.

And because I had those adorable little gingerbread cookies sitting on my desk after all that fussy cutting, I couldn’t resist adding a couple to the inside too!

A Little Christmas DSP

This is exactly the kind of Designer Series Paper I love — not only are the patterns beautiful for backgrounds and layers, but there are also so many images that can become the focal point of a card.

If you enjoy fussy cutting, papers like this give you so many possibilities without needing a coordinating stamp set or dies. Just grab your Paper Snips and start cutting!

Be sure to continue along the Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop to see what everyone else has created with products from the new September–December Mini Catalogue. I always love seeing how differently we use the same catalogue for inspiration!

Festive Friday: Graceful Evergreen Deer Christmas Card

Leave a comment

It’s Festive Friday, and I’m sharing a Christmas card featuring the brand new Graceful Evergreen Deer Bundle.

I have to admit, I am a little obsessed with hot foiling right now, so of course I had to add some shine to this card! I used gold hot foil for that gorgeous deer and red hot foil with the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies for the sentiment.

I kept the rest of the card crisp and mostly white, with Secret Sea and touches of gold. The little snowflakes in the winter sky were heat embossed in gold for just a bit more sparkle.

For the background, I die cut the arch from the Basic White layer before embossing it. I adhered the embossed outer piece flat to the card base and then popped the stamped arch back into place with Dimensionals. I love the texture this adds while still keeping the card fairly clean and simple.

Those little Secret Sea snowflake embellishments are new too — and you’ll be seeing them again in my upcoming Holly Jolly Branches MEGA Stamp Camp!

Another Christmas card ready for my stash — and I’m pretty sure there will be lots more hot foil coming! 😊

Christmas Crafting with Stitched Season DSP | Case the Catalog Challenge

Leave a comment

I am officially in full Christmas crafting mode! 🎄 With autumn Christmas fairs on the horizon, I’ve been pulling out my Christmas Designer Series Paper and looking for ways to create cards that are festive, eye-catching—and don’t take forever to make.

This card was created for this week’s Stampin’ Through the Catalog Challenge, and I had so much fun putting it together.

For this design, I used A Stitched Season Designer Series Paper for almost all of the colour and pattern. I cut four rectangles (1-1/2″ X 2-1/4″ each) for the background and then used the third-smallest Everyday Arches Die to cut the little bird from a different DSP piece as the focal piece.

No stamping or colouring involved. Just a bit of die cutting, layering and embellishing!

The card base got some extra texture from the Textured Tree Rings 3D Embossing Folder, which adds just the right amount of interest without competing with all those pretty patterns.

And then there’s that Happy Christmas sentiment! ❤️

I used the new Magical Christmas Hot Foil Die with red hot foil and the reverse plate. I LOVE how bold and shiny it is—and how quickly hot foiling can take a card from simple to special.

The Magical Christmas Hot Foil Die is part of the upcoming September–December collection. Customers will be able to order it beginning in September, but if you’re someone who just can’t wait to get your hands on the new products, you can join my Stampin’ Up! team today and take advantage of the demonstrator preorder.

That means you can choose all the preorder products you want and start creating before the new catalogue even goes live. If you’ve ever thought about joining my team, this is a pretty fun time to do it!

I’m really enjoying being in full Christmas mode already. There is something very satisfying about getting a head start on those Christmas fair projects—and this card is a perfect example of why I love Designer Series Paper so much.

Festive Friday: A Little Woodland Christmas Magic

Leave a comment

It’s Festive Friday, and I have another Christmas card to share with you! 🎄

I’m having so much fun getting a head start on my Christmas cards, and this one features the adorable Woodland Wishes stamp set.

There’s something about these little woodland images that makes me smile. The sweet little deer and bird make such a fun focal point, and I love how the soft, natural colours give this card a cozy woodland feel.

A pop of Real Red from the sentiment and those fun Adhesive-Backed Christmas Berries adds just enough Christmas colour, while the little bit of Linen Thread gives it a rustic finishing touch.

This one feels like Christmas in the woods to me—and I think it would be a fun design to make multiples of for your Christmas card stash!

GDP561 Colour Challenge: A Soft and Pretty Christmas Card

Leave a comment

I’m playing along with this week’s Global Design Project colour challenge #GDP561, and I have to say… these colours are just gorgeous together!

This week’s colour combination is Hydrangea Hue, Soft Sea Foam and Peaceful Pine, and I thought they would make a beautiful, slightly unexpected Christmas colour palette.

I’m trying to get a head start on my Christmas cards, so I reached for the simple and lovely Hope Love & Joy Bundle to create this sweet Christmas card.

I started with a Hydrangea Hue card base, stamped with Hydrangea Hue snowflakes for a subtle background. I then added a torn strip of Soft Sea Foam cardstock across the middle, with a Basic White strip layered over top.

For the sentiment, I stamped the J and Y in Peaceful Pine, while the “O” is actually a Hydrangea Hue snowflake! I love finding little ways to make a simple card more interesting.

A bit of Peaceful Pine ribbon and the gorgeous Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes finished it off perfectly.

And speaking of those snowflakes… they are currently available through the Stampin’ Up! demonstrator preorder! If you’d love early access to new products and all sorts of fabulous preorder goodies, I’d love to have you join my team, Ink Pad Pals – see below for more details.

I hope this Global Design Project colour challenge inspires you to create your own project for #GDP561. Grab your crafting supplies and join the fun!

Coast to Coast Creators: A Festive Fun-Fold Christmas Card

Leave a comment

It’s time for another Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop, and this month we’re sharing one of our favourite fun-fold card designs!

I’m excited to share this festive Christmas card with you. I love fun folds because they add a little element of surprise to a handmade card. This one looks interesting when it’s closed, but opens up to reveal even more layers and space for a message.

For this card, I used the gorgeous Stitched Season Designer Series Paper. The traditional Real Red and Secret Sea patterns are perfect for Christmas cards, and I love how the different patterns work together with this particular fold.

The focal point is the Hope, Love & Joy Bundle, with the JOY sentiment layered onto the front of the card.

To add a little extra sparkle and texture, I also used:

  • Shimmering Stripes 12″ x 12″ Specialty Paper
  • Real Red Stitched Ribbon
  • A heat-embossed snowflake
  • A small rhinestone placed in the centre of the snowflake

That little rhinestone is such a simple detail, but it adds just the right amount of Christmas sparkle!

How This Fun Fold Comes Together

The card base starts with a piece of cardstock measuring 5-1/2″ x 12″.

On the 12″ side, score at 4″ and 8″. Then, on the 5-1/2″ side, make a mark at 2″ and cut from that mark to the far score line to create the angled sections.

The Designer Series Paper is cut to coordinate with each angled section:

  • Front angled layer: 3-3/4″ x 3-1/2″, on the 3-3/4″ side mark at 1-3/4″ then cut from that mark to the far point at an angle.*
  • Middle angled layer: 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″, on the 3-3/4″ side mark at 3-1/2″then cut from that mark to the far point at an angle.*
  • Inside angled layer: 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″, on the 3-3/4″ side mark at 3-1/2″then cut from that mark to the far point at an angle.*

*make sure you are cutting in the right direction to adhere to the card base.

The Basic White inside layer measures 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″, giving you plenty of room to add a greeting and a personal message. I added a 3-3/4″ X 1-7/8″ piece of DSP and a 3-3/4″ X 5/8″ piece of Shimmering Stripes DSP to the top of this piece.

The great thing about this fold is that once the card base and DSP pieces are cut, it comes together quite quickly. The angled pieces do all the work of creating that fun, dimensional look!

✨ Now it’s time to see what the other Coast to Coast Creators have created for this month’s fun-fold theme. We have talented Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from across Canada sharing their projects, so be sure to hop along and check them all out.

Thanks so much for stopping by and spending a little time crafting with me!

7 Christmas Cards with Stitched Season

Leave a comment

I’ve been having so much fun playing with the Stitched Season Designer Series Paper and Stitched Stocking Dies! 🎄

I love Christmas products that have a cozy, handmade feel, and these products definitely fit the bill. The DSP has such fun patterns, and the stitched details in the dies add that extra bit of texture that makes a card feel special.

For these cards, I mixed and matched the Stitched Season DSP with the Stitched Stocking Dies, along with the coordinating stitched ribbon and adorable buttons. I also brought in sentiments from a few other stamp sets because I love combining products to create a look that is uniquely mine.

I especially enjoyed seeing how different the cards can look simply by changing the DSP, colours and arrangement. Some are more traditional, while others have a softer or more whimsical feel.

Here are all seven cards together!

A Stitched Season Suite Collection

If you love the products I’ve used on these cards, you’ll find them together in the A Stitched Season Suite Collection. The collection includes the Stitched Stocking Stamp Set, Stitched Stocking Dies, Stitched Season Designer Series Paper, Real Red 1/4″ Stitched Ribbon and Adhesive-Backed Mini Christmas Buttons.

The Stitched Stocking Dies make it easy to create fun stockings from the coordinating DSP, and I love that you can mix and match the patterns to create so many different looks.

The stitched ribbon and little buttons are the perfect finishing touches, adding just the right amount of texture and dimension.

And, as always, don’t feel like you need to stick to just the products from one collection. I used sentiments from other stamp sets on these cards, and mixing and matching is one of my favourite parts of creating with Stampin’ Up! products.

Which one is your favourite?

I’d love to know which of these seven Christmas cards is your favourite! 🎄❤️

Do you prefer traditional Christmas colours, or are you drawn to the softer and more unexpected colour combinations?
