Festive Friday: Sweet Jar + Peppermint Dots Christmas Card

Happy Festive Friday, friends!

Today’s project is bursting with charm and sweetness thanks to the Sweet Jar bundle, one of my new favourites. I filled the stamped jar with Real Red hearts and peppermint candies and layered it over a bold print from the Take a Bow 6×6 Designer Series Paper—which is retiring soon, so grab it before it’s gone!

To give the layout some balance and polish, I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to create crisp stitched circles behind the jar and sentiment. The sentiment comes from mixing the a sentiment from the Sweet Jar stamp set with the classic Greetings of the Season stamp set.

But the real magic? That Secret Sea ink and thin trim of cardstock—just enough to cool down all that red and make everything pop. It’s my new go-to neutral and I’m obsessed!

The Adhesive-Backed Peppermint Dots and a simple bow of Real Red & White Baker’s Twine complete the look with a playful, candy-cane twist.

Festive Friday: Humble Home + Peppermint Dots Christmas Card

Happy Festive Friday, friends!

This week’s handmade Christmas card is all about sweet details and versatile layouts. I used the Humble Home stamp set and punch to create the cutest gingerbread house focal point, accented with Adhesive-Backed Peppermint Dots for a fun holiday pop.

The Take a Bow 6×6 Designer Series Paper—a retiring favourite on the Last Chance List—adds a joyful mix of stripes and polka dots. I tied everything together with a bow of White 1/4″ Ribbon for that finishing touch.

✅ This layout is a repeat of yesterday’s Throwback Thursday—because when a design works, I say use it again!
✅ Great for batch card-making during the holidays.
