Festive Friday Week 4 – Spotlight on the One of a Kind Stamp Set!

Leave a comment January 31, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Happy Friday, friends! Welcome to Week 4 of my Festive Friday series. This project is part of my 2025 crafting goals to create one Christmas card every week, and I’m so excited to share this week’s creation with you. Keeping up with this challenge has been so inspiring, and I hope it’s bringing you some holiday cheer as well!

This week’s card features the One of a Kind Stamp Set and a gorgeous color palette of Blueberry Bushel, Balmy Blue, and Azure Afternoon. With the addition of Pastel Ombre Glimmer Specialty Paper and Iridescent Faceted Gems, this card sparkles in all the right ways. Let’s take a closer look at the details!

The Card Design

For this week’s design, I wanted to focus on simplicity with a touch of elegance. The One of a Kind Stamp Set provides beautiful imagery that shines on its own, while the glimmer paper and gems add the perfect festive sparkle.

Here are some highlights of the card:

Color Palette: The combination of Blueberry Bushel, Balmy Blue, and Azure Afternoon creates a wintery vibe that’s fresh and modern.
Specialty Paper: A strip of Pastel Ombre Glimmer Specialty Paper adds shimmer and visual interest without overpowering the stamped details.
Embellishments: Iridescent Faceted Gems provide the perfect finishing touch, adding dimension and sparkle.

This card is perfect for mass production or as a special one-off design for someone who loves a touch of holiday glamour.

Die cut the Christmas Labels die in Night of Navy CS and Basic White CS.
