Today I’m sharing a cozy monochromatic Christmas card that brings together two of my favorite things: kraft cardstock and a simple technique that adds instant magic. This design features the One Line Santa Stamp Set and the Modern Luxury 6 x 6 Stencil from The Rabbit Hole Designs, and it’s all built around the Whiteout Technique. If you’ve ever wanted a card that looks detailed without heavy coloring, this technique might be your new best friend. I’ve been leaning into clea

Today I’m sharing three clean and simple Christmas cards that were such a joy to make using the Rainbow Village Basics 6 x 6 Pattern Paper Pack from Paper Rose Studio. I’ve been reaching for this paper collection a lot lately because the colors feel cheerful and bright without losing that cozy holiday charm we all love. These cards are perfect if you want something festive and eye-catching that doesn’t require a ton of time or complicated techniques. Each design uses the sam

There’s just something about quirky holiday cards that makes me smile, and today’s project definitely falls into that category. I’ve been on a clean and simple kick lately, especially for Christmas cards, and this sweet little design came together after I pulled out the Ducks in a Row Stamps & Die Bundle from The Rabbit Hole Designs. I paired it with the Oh Duck Stencil and the Holiday Background Builder Stencil , and before I knew it, I had a festive flock of ducks wearing

Gift cards are always a great go-to, but let’s be honest—sometimes they can feel a little impersonal. So why not give them a handmade touch that makes the presentation just as exciting as the gift inside? That’s exactly what inspired today’s project. I wanted to create something that felt special, interactive, and surprisingly easy to make, and the Flip Open Present Die Set  from Scrappy Boy Stamps  was perfect for the job. These cards look like little wrapped gifts right on

Every year when I start on my Christmas cards, I find myself drawn back to those classic holiday scenes that make you smile before you even open the envelope. You know the kind—bright colors, a touch of shimmer, and sweet little critters sharing the spotlight. Today’s card is one of those happy designs that came together almost by accident. I was pulling out my Lawn Fawn Christmas Before ‘n Afters  Stamp Set for a different idea when I realized how perfectly it would pair wi

Every year as the holidays roll around, I love finding ways to make my Christmas cards feel extra special without spending hours at my craft desk. This year, I wanted something that felt elegant and dimensional—something that would stand out on a mantel but still fit neatly into a square envelope. That’s how this Triple Accordion Step Fun Fold Card  came to life. It looks like a showstopper, but once you understand how the layers come together, it’s actually quite simple. I u

Hey there, crafty friends! Today I’m sharing one of my favorite types of holiday projects—a warm, rustic Christmas card with a watercolor twist. There’s something so timeless about pairing a bright red poinsettia with the earthy tones of kraft cardstock, and this design captures that cozy, handmade charm perfectly. I used the Poinsettia & Pinecones Stamp Set , Outline Dies , and Diamond District Layering/Nesting Dies  from The Rabbit Hole Designs  to create a card that looks

Hey crafty friends! I’m so excited to share this cheerful holiday card that’s bursting with festive layers, texture, and a little sparkle. This design came together using some of my favorite products from Simon Says Stamp’s And Everything Nice Release —and let me tell you, it’s one of those projects that looks delightfully detailed but is surprisingly easy to create once you break it down. I wanted something playful yet polished, and the combination of the Holly Jolly Stamp S

Every year around this time, I find myself trying to balance the joy of creating handmade Christmas cards with the reality of a busy schedule. Between shopping, decorating, and all the holiday happenings, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why I’m always looking for ways to simplify my cardmaking process without sacrificing the handmade charm I love. For this project, I turned to the Christmas Carol Collection  from Scrappy Boy Stamps  and created six quick Christmas cards

When a new month of Unity kits arrives in my mailbox, it always feels like Christmas morning. There’s something so inspiring about opening that package, seeing the red rubber in all its glory, and letting the creative ideas start flowing. This month, I couldn’t resist going all in. I pulled out the November 2025 Kit of the Month , the Uniquely Unity by Ang Kit , and the Background of the Month Kit —and challenged myself to create seven clean and layered card designs. Each car

The holidays always seem to sneak up on me, and before I know it, I’m knee-deep in cardstock scraps and glitter, trying to finish a stack of Christmas cards. This year, I decided to keep things simple—but still full of personality—with three Clean and Simple  designs that feature one of my favorite mischievous characters. Using The Green One Stamp Set from C.C. Designs , I created a trio of cards that are easy to make, fun to color, and guaranteed to make anyone grin. Each d

Some mornings during the holidays, I find myself needing just one more cup  before I can even think about decking the halls or humming along to Christmas music. That little bit of caffeine seems to turn my “bah humbug” into “fa la la.” So when I pulled out the Don’t Cluck With My Coffee  stamp set from Unity Stamp Company, I couldn’t help but laugh. The sassy chicken holding her steaming cup of coffee perfectly summed up that pre-coffee holiday mood, and I knew she had to st

There’s something about clean and layered card designs that feels timeless—especially during the holidays. I love when a card has just enough detail to catch the eye but still feels light and airy. For this project, I wanted to capture that look using a few of my favorite supplies from The Rabbit Hole Designs—the One Line Santa Stamp Set  and Holiday Background Builder Stencil . This combination gives you the perfect balance of playful whimsy and crisp design, and it’s a grea

Christmas card season is in full swing, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably reached that point where you want to make something a little extra special —something that stands out but doesn’t take hours to assemble. That’s exactly what inspired today’s project: a Double Z-Fold Christmas Card  featuring some beautiful products from Paper Rose Studio . This design looks impressive when standing on display, yet it’s surprisingly simple to put together once you understa

The Case Me A Christmas Card  Video Hop has quickly become one of my favorite holiday traditions, and I’m so excited to be part of the 2025 edition — especially since this is the last one for the year! Every designer in the hop was challenged to CASE (which stands for Copy and Share Everything ) a card from another creator in the lineup, and this time, I had the pleasure of CASE-ing a beautiful design from the incredibly talented Therese Calvird of Lost in Paper . Her style a

The holidays are full of sparkle, music, and magic—but sometimes, a little laughter is the best way to spread Christmas cheer. When I saw the Butt Cracker Fairies Collection  from Scrappy Boy Stamps,  I couldn’t resist turning it into a cheeky, one-of-a-kind Christmas card. After all, who needs Sugar Plum Fairies when you can have these sassy little guys twirling their way across a stage—or in this case, a handmade music box! This card combines a playful sense of humor with a

During the busy holiday season, I’m all about finding simple ways to make handmade cards that still look special and heartfelt. There’s just something about sending a card that feels warm and personal — especially when it looks like it took hours but really came together in a fraction of the time. Today’s card is the perfect example of that balance. I used the Holiday Lane Stamp Set  and North Pole Collection Paper Pack  from Unity Stamp Company  to create a cozy little neigh

Hey crafty friends! Today I’m sharing a cheerful and slightly humorous Christmas card design that’s all about bringing a little sparkle and a lot of personality to your holiday crafting. This card was inspired by the Pixi Dust Designs Card Sketch for October 2025 , and it features two of my favorite things—fun dies and playful pattern paper! I used the Snowman and Santa Sock Die Set  and the Christmas 6x6 Pattern Paper Pad  from Pixi Dust Designs  to create this lighthearted
