Festive Friday: Winter Meadows Meets 2025 In Colors

For this week’s Festive Friday, I’m spotlighting the stunning Winter Meadows 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper along with the elegant Greetings of the Season stamp set. These cards came together effortlessly thanks to this beautifully illustrated paper—perfect for creating serene winter scenes without needing a lot of stamping.

I chose two of the new 2025 In ColorsSecret Sea and Cloud Cover—to complement the soft, cool tones in the paper. One card keeps it simple with a single stamped sentiment and a peaceful forest scene, while the other adds layers, dry embossing, and a sweet bow for added texture and charm.

Why I Love This Paper

The Winter Meadows DSP makes cardmaking quick and satisfying. The imagery is detailed enough to stand on its own, meaning you can let the paper shine and still end up with a beautiful result. It’s ideal for making multiples during the busy holiday season!

Product List:


If you’re looking to get a head start on your Christmas cards, give this combo a try! You’ll love how quickly your designs come together—and your recipients will love the cozy winter feel. ❄️🦌
