Traditions of Christmas Holiday Card

Traditions of Christmas Holiday Card

Stampin’ Up! offers so much gorgeous Designer Series Paper packages. It’s sometimes hard to choose what to create with! So, I just try to use it all.

In today’s post, I cut into the Traditions of Christmas 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper. The patterns offer such beautiful gold accents. Look for it on the Last Chance List for $14.85.

Traditions of Christmas Designer Series Paper

I use the same paper cutting technique as a previous post this week. Check it out here. This technique allows you to showcase both sides of the fabulous paper. Also, be sure to watch the video below to see how this technique works.

  • Basic White Cardstock panels measuring 5 1/4 x 4
  • A piece of double-sided Designer Series Paper measuring 5 x 3 3/4, cut diagonally from top right to bottom left, then turn and cut from top left to bottom right.

From my craft room in Mesa, Arizona, I offer step-by-step instructions to help you learn to cut your Designer Series Paper to make a similar card. I show several different samples, demonstrating how you can use any double-sided patterned paper to achieve this fun look.

Jar of Joy Shaker Card

Jar of Joy Shaker Card

I purchased the Jar of Joy Photopolymer Stamp Set and coordinating Sweet Jar Builder Punch way back in July of 2025 when it first debuted as one of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusive offerings. During the month, I created many holiday cards using this stamp set and coordinating punch bundle. In the back of my mind, I thought it would be fun to create a shaker card filled with peppermints. Today, I made that a reality.
