There’s something about a clean and layered Christmas card that feels both timeless and fresh, and today I’m excited to share one I had so much fun putting together. If you’ve ever wanted a card that looks detailed but doesn’t require lots of complicated steps, this design might be exactly what you’re looking for. I love projects that let the patterned paper shine, offer a simple focal point, and leave room for a little playful detail. This reindeer card checks all the boxes,

Yesterday I got to be on the Scrapbook.com YouTube channel sharing my project for this month’s Craft Remix, and I’m so excited about this one. The Christmas Stocking Bundle has been sitting on my desk for a couple of weeks, and every time I walked by it, I kept imagining all the different ways I could mix and match the adorable rub-ons, patterned papers, and stocking dies. You know how sometimes one idea turns into three before you even start cutting paper? That was me with

Today I’m sharing a pair of clean and simple floral cards I created for the Pinkfresh Studio Delicate Details November Release Instagram Hop , and I have to say, this release lives up to its name in all the best ways. Every piece feels soft, elegant, and thoughtfully designed, which made these cards such a joy to put together. I’ve always loved the look of detailed florals without the time commitment of coloring, so this was the perfect chance to lean into stencils, light in

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 something about holiday gift tags that always sparks a little extra joy for me. Maybe it’s because they’re small, quick to make, and instantly festive, or maybe it’s because I still remember helping my grandmother make tags for every single present under her tree. She always said the tag was the first “sneak peek” of the gift, so it deserved just as much attention as the wrapping itself. These Snow Wizard Holiday Gift Tags from Miss Ink Stamps brought back that same f

Hey crafty friends! Today, I’m excited to share a sweet winter card that all started with a Valentine die set. You know those moments when you look through your stash and realize a die set you love doesn’t have to be limited to just one season? That’s exactly what inspired today’s project. I pulled out the Fox Valentine Box Die Set  from Pixi Dust Designs  and decided to give that adorable little fox a cozy winter makeover. With a few clever swaps and some creative mixing and

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

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

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

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

If you’re anything like me, you probably love giving handmade gifts just as much as making handmade cards. There’s something extra special about handing someone a treat or small gift wrapped in something you created yourself. Today, I’m sharing a fun twist on gift packaging — two versions of the 3D Mouse Popcorn Box  using products from Scrappy Boy Stamps. One has a bright, theme park-inspired look (perfect for any time of year), and the other has a festive holiday spin that’

Who’s ready to add a little shimmer to their Christmas crafting? I’ve always believed that a touch of foil can make even the simplest card design feel magical—and this one-line Santa card from The Rabbit Hole Designs proves it! I love how this project combines modern line art with classic Christmas charm, all wrapped up in layers of red, gold, and sparkle. And the best part? It’s one of those designs that looks  like it took forever, but really comes together quickly once yo

Sometimes clean and simple cards can be the trickiest to design, can’t they? You want something elegant and uncluttered—but not flat or boring. That was exactly the challenge I set out to solve with this project. I wanted to create a clean, square card design that still had plenty of interest and texture without relying on layers or busy backgrounds. The solution came in the form of some of my favorite products from Miss Ink Stamps: the Best Sort Stamp Set , Best Sort Outline
