When I purchase a stamp set, I try to get as much out of it as I can. Last week, I shared a variety of holiday cards using Stampin’ Up!’s Jar of Joy Photopolymer Stamp Set. It’s one of Stampin’ Up!’s brand-new Online Exclusives. Click here to see the other Online Exclusive offerings. Or, click here to see a flyer sharing the most recent releases.
In today’s post, I feature a handmade Christmas card that uses a fun fold: Rectangle Column Fold. This design allows the card to stand up so you — and your recipient — can display your creation.

Below, I provide some basic information to help you make this card at home. Be sure to watch the video to see how this card comes together.

Don’t miss the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder. This stunning sunflower design adds a touch of nature to any paper crafting project. And, it lends itself to a variety of techniques. With this card, I showcase Stampin’ Up!’s two-tone cardstock and the sanding technique.
The technique is simple. Add card stock to the embossing folder. Roll it through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Remove cardstock from folder. Lightly sand the surface to expose the white center.
Try this technique with other embossing folders and other two-tone cardstock colors. Choose from more than fifty colors.

I love playing with new paper crafting goodies, and I created a host of fun Christmas cards, just in time for Christmas in July.

For today’s card, however, I chose a more non-traditional approach. I use the colors of Bubble Bath, Petunia Pop, and Smoky Slate. Are you a traditionalist with a lean toward red and green? Or do you prefer non-traditional Christmas colors?

Embellish with the Real Red & White Peppermints. (Yes, these are still available in Stampin’ Up!’s online store. Remember when Stampin’ Up! introduced these last year? We couldn’t keep them in stock! I recommend you get them now to have them on hand for your holiday crafting.)
Real Red & White Baker’s Twine
See below for a few more cards I created with these products. Enjoy!
This next card uses the same layout as the featured card. I found the patterned paper in the Reindeer Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. And, look at all those peppermints.
For this next card, I used just the snowman image (without the jar) and the sentiment from the Choose Happy Stamp Set, Find the patterned paper in the Reindeer Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit.
For this next card, I tried some heat embossing. The Real Red background piece gets its texture from the Pattern of Friendship Die.
This next and final card features a sneak peek of products available in Stampin’ Up!’s September-December Mini Catalog. I love the Secret Sea glimmer paper and the shimmery ribbon and gems.
