Celebrate the Miracle – A Handmade Hanukkah Card | Monday Live Replay

Leave a comment December 15, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Hanukkah began on Sunday, making it the perfect time to feature the Celebrate the Miracle stamp set during this week’s Monday Live. This symbolic and elegant stamp set is ideal for creating meaningful handmade Hanukkah cards.

For this project, I paired the stamps with the calm, wintery patterns of the Peaceful Garden 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper, creating a beautiful backdrop for the menorah image.

Just a reminder that Stampin’ Up!’s Product of the Month, True Blue Florals 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper, is still available. While it wasn’t used on this card, the monochromatic blue designs would work beautifully for Hanukkah cards and other winter-themed projects.

Treat Bag Duo – Modern & Traditional Christmas

Leave a comment December 8, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Today I’m sharing the replay of tonight’s FB Live where we created two adorable Christmas treat bags—one with a bold, modern vibe and one with a warm, traditional feel. These are quick, candy-friendly, and perfect for teachers, coworkers, stocking stuffers, or class treats. Even better? They both come together with just a bit of scoring, folding, and Tear’n’Tape!

🎄 Treat Bag #1 – Modern Christmas Style

This one features the striking black-and-white pattern from the Modern Christmas DSP. I paired it with the Real Red Shiny Ribbon (currently on the Last Chance List!), White Baker’s Twine, and a tag created with the 1-7/8″ Circle Punch and Stylish Shapes circles.
The sentiment comes from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set, and I added a little sparkle with sequins.

🎄 Treat Bag #2 – Traditional Christmas Style

Our second bag has that classic cozy holiday look using the Traditional Christmas DSP. I finished the top with Secret Sea Faux Linen Ribbon and Black, White & Gold Baker’s Twine.
The tag is built with Stylish Shapes circles, stamped with the Holly Jolly stamp set in Real Red Ink, and brushed with Wink of Stella for a soft shimmer.

Both treat bags are assembled with Tear’n’Tape, making them sturdy and gift-ready.

💌 Printable PDF Tutorial
I’ve added a free downloadable PDF with all the measurements so you can recreate these treat bags any time.

🎄 Modern Christmas Magic with a Pink Twist!

Leave a comment November 12, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week’s Facebook Live was all about modern elegance with a pink twist! I featured the stunning Modern Christmas Suite by Stampin’ Up! to create a bold yet festive design that blends pink, black, and gold—a perfect combo for anyone who loves a chic, non-traditional holiday look.

I adore how the gold embossing and delicate vellum details bring just the right amount of shimmer and sophistication. The playful trees add a touch of whimsy, while the clean sentiment—“Wishing You Peace & Joy”—keeps the message heartfelt and classic.

Throwback Thursday – Baby Steps

Leave a comment October 9, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

It’s been a little while with a busy September – but I am back and it’s time for another Throwback Thursday. This week, I couldn’t resist pulling out one of my favorite retired wooden block stamps: Baby Steps! These sweet elephants are timeless, and they pair perfectly with today’s Peach Pie Designer Series Paper, matching ribbon, and a few gems for a subtle sparkle.

The sentiment panel is cut using the Peace on Earth Dies, which adds just the right touch of elegance to this playful design. I love how the pop of color and texture make this card feel fresh while still celebrating a bit of Stampin’ Up! history.

Whether you’re celebrating a new baby, a milestone, or any happy occasion — this card brings a smile every time.

Global Design Project #513 – Autumn Colour Challenge Card

Leave a comment September 11, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week I had the honour of being invited as the Guest Designer for the Global Design Project Challenge (#GDP513)! The challenge features a warm and inviting colour palette that instantly made me think of crisp fall days and colourful leaves. I reached for the Amber Autumn Bundle, the Gathering Together 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper, and a mix of rich Stampin’ Blends to create this cozy seasonal card.

The Global Design Project #513 challenge focused on three stunning colours: Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, and Pecan Pie. These earthy tones are perfect for fall cardmaking, especially when combined with warm textures and layered leaves.

Card Details & How-To

✨ Stamping & Colouring

I used the Amber Autumn stamp set to create my focal image.
The pumpkins and leaves were coloured with Cajun Craze and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends.
To achieve a softer Crushed Curry look, I blended Dark Daffodil Delight with Dark Darling Duckling.

🍂 Die-Cut Leaves

On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I blended Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, and Pecan Pie inks using Blending Brushes.
Once dry, I die cut the leaves using the coordinating dies from the Amber Autumn Bundle.
This gave the leaves a gorgeous mottled, realistic look.

🖤 Designer Series Paper & Accents

I finished the design with a sprinkling of Cajun Craze & Gold Dots for a little extra texture and shine.

The background features the Gathering Together 12” x 12” DSP, which tied the colours together beautifully.

Here’s a full list of the supplies used.

Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock [159229]	Pecan Pie 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [161717]	Amber Autumn Bundle (English) [165893]	Stylish Shapes Dies [159183]	Pecan Pie Classic Stampin' Pad [161665]
Crushed Curry Classic Stampin' Pad [147087]	Cajun Craze Classic Stampin' Pad [147085]	Cajun Craze Stampin' Blends Combo Pack [154879]	Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack [161674]	Darling Duckling Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack [165288]
Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends Combo Pack [154883]	Cajun Craze & Gold Dots [165984]	Blending Brushes [153611]	Multipurpose Liquid Glue [110755]	Stampin' Dimensionals [104430]
