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

Today I’m sharing a fun little “pick-me-up” card I created for Miss Ink Stamps, and I couldn’t resist reaching for the Slugs and Kisses Stamp Set , the Slugs and Kisses Outline Dies , and the Cobblestone Stencil  for this one. I started with a clean top-fold A2 card base made from Neenah Ultra Thick Cardstock , then masked off a circle using one of the Background Basics Stencils  from Penny Black. Inside that masked area, I blended soft gray ink over the Cobblestone Stencil

Today I am sharing ten different clean and simple cards using new stamps from Unity Stamps. These stamps just came out Thursday as part of their Biggest Sale of the Year for week 2. I stamped and colored all the images using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them using my Triblend Markers and added some fine details with my colored pencils. In this release you will find a stamps for different occasions, and themes. Some are Winter, some are Christmas and some are a

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

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

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

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.

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

I wanted the design to stay crisp and uncluttered but still have a fun focal point, and this little duct-taped duck delivere

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
