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!
