Today’s project is one of those cards that just makes me smile from the moment the background comes together. I started with a smooth ink-blended panel and brought it to life using the Holiday Background Builder Stencil  from The Rabbit Hole Designs. The star pattern was perfect for a festive night-sky feel, and adding Champagne Gold Stencil Butter to the top and bottom gave it that gorgeous, twinkly shimmer. To tie everything together, I created my own coordinating gold-edg

Today I’m sharing a sweet and peaceful 5x7 nativity Christmas card created with the Holly Jolly Stamp Set , Holly Jolly Pixi Cuts , and the Oh Holy Night Sentiment Die from Pixi Dust Designs. I started by stamping the manger image onto Hammermill Smooth Cardstock and coloring everything with my Ohuhu Brush Markers to give the scene a soft, warm glow. Once everything was cut out with the coordinating Pixi Cuts, I moved on to the background—my favorite part. A fresh panel of

Today I’m sharing a sweet little project from my monthly Gingerbread Greetings Series, and this one is all about simple layers and warm kraft tones. I started by stamping the adorable Santa from the A Little Ho Ho Ho Stamp Set  onto kraft cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink , then die-cut him with the Nested Postage Labels & Tag Etched Dies  from Spellbinders. Coloring him with my Ohuhu Brush Markers gave him that soft, cozy look I love for holiday cards. Once he was r

There’s just something extra special about a handmade Christmas tag, and this little mouse-shaped cutie might be one of my favorites yet! I started with the Mouse Ears Mini Album Die Set  to create the shaped base, then reached for the Christmas Carol 6×6 Paper Pack  and chose the gorgeous Christmas street-scene pattern to set the holiday mood. That stitched mouse head outline frames the background so sweetly, and once the base was ready, it was time to bring in the star of t

Every year when the holiday rush hits, I find myself reaching for projects that look special but don’t take all day to create. Gift tags are one of my favorite ways to add a handmade touch without adding stress, and these stocking-shaped tags quickly became a new favorite. They’re simple, polished, and festive, thanks to the Nested Stocking Die Set and a mix of patterned papers and rub-ons from Scrapbook.com . If you’ve ever wanted something cute and cohesive for your gifts

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 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

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

Have you ever reached that point in your holiday cardmaking where everything starts to blend together? The reds, greens, golds—all beautiful, of course—but sometimes I crave something that feels a little more special. That’s exactly where this project came from. I wanted a design that looked  impressive but didn’t require hours of precision cutting or complicated measuring. Enter the Quadruple Z-Fold Christmas Card —a fun fold design that looks like it took forever, but hones

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

You know those days when your Christmas spirit feels just a little... done ? Maybe it’s the third batch of cookies that burned or the pile of glitter that somehow ended up on the dog. Either way, sometimes you just need a little sass with your sparkle—and that’s exactly what today’s card brings. I’m sharing a square Christmas card featuring the Hissy Kringle Pissy Kitty Stamp Set  from Unity Stamp Company . This grumpy little guy is the perfect antidote to overly sweet holida

It happens to the best of us! Between decorating, baking, and all the little festive moments, sitting down to make dozens of handmade cards can feel a little daunting.
