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

Leave a comment

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

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

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.

💗 Why You’ll Love This Card:

  • Modern, unexpected colour palette

Modern Christmas Suite – Wishing You Peace & Joy

Leave a comment

I had so much fun creating this beautiful Christmas card during my Live today! The Modern Christmas Suite is full of timeless holiday images and coordinating dies, making it perfect for elegant cards like this one. Pairing gold with black and white creates a bold, festive look that really shines.

Here’s how you can make this card yourself:

  • Start with a Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2″ X 8-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″).
  • Adhere the Modern Christmas DSP (tree pattern – 4″ X 5-1/4″) to the card front.
  • Die cut the 4th largest Everyday Arch in both Basic Black cardstock and the 5th largest in Basic White cardstock. Layer the two so the black peeks out slightly behind the white for dimension. Adhere to the cardfront.
  • Fussy cut the three ornament images from the DSP and adhere to the arch using Dimensionals.
  • Stamp the sentiment “Wishing You Peace & Joy” in Versamark and heat emboss with gold on a Basic White strip.
  • Make a large bow from the black-and-gold twine and attach to the back of the sentiment strip.
  • Adhere the sentiment strip and bow across the bottom of the arch with Dimensionals.
  • Add gold sequins for a finishing touch.

Here is a full supply list ( or just scroll down to register for the stamp camp!):
