Carols of Christmas

When I began creating for my Stamp-A-Stack I used this stamp set and before I knew it I had created several cards with the Carols of Christmas Bundle. Too many to really use for a Stamp-A-Stack but it is such a great set!

It starts with a Garden Green 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 card base. The next layer is 4 1/8 x 3 5/8 Basic Black which is hidden under the 4 1/8 x 3 5/8 Whisper White. You can see it through the die cuts on the Whisper White. I felt it needed this in order to tie the black into the card. I used the dies from Carols of Christmas Bundle to cut around the top edge of the Whisper White. The next layer is Cherry Cobbler 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 and on top of that is a 3 1/8 x 4 3/8 Whisper White. That is where the ornament strings are stamped or drawn. I used Happy Birthday Gorgeous for that, however if you do not have it you could draw the lines. On top of that is a 3 x 3 Basic Black scallop square that was cut with the Layering Square Dies and then comes the greeting stamped in Cherry Cobbler on Whisper White 2 7/8 x 2 7/8. Stamp the greeting towards the top of the square so that you have room for the ribbon. Tie the Garden Green 3/8" Stitched Satin ribbon in a knot and attach with glue dot. Stamp the ornaments in Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler and die cut with the ornament ties from the Carols of Christmas. Attach by alternating color and glue dots and dimensionals.

I hope that you enjoy making this beautiful card. If you have any questions please let me know I would be happy to answer them.

If you love interactive cards, you're going to enjoy this elegant Peek-A-Boo Slider Card! At first glance, the rich botanical pattern from the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper takes center stage with its deep greens, delicate ferns, and warm golden blossoms. But with one simple pull, a hidden surprise is revealed, making this card as fun to open as it is beautiful to display. For this design, I paired the gorgeous Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper with Mossy Meadow and Golden Glow cardstock to bring out the rich colors in the paper. The layered circular slider creates the perfect focal point, revealing the "Thinking of You" at first glance

This beautiful birthday card combines soft, feminine colors with a wonderful fun-fold design. The textured Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper creates the perfect backdrop for the layered die-cut flowers and rich green leaves. A coordinating belly band wraps around the front panel and features a large “Happy Birthday” greeting framed with a Peaceful Pine stitched oval. Scalloped Petal Pink ribbon, a delicate flower, and coordinating embellishments add the perfect finishing touches. This lovely card is sure to make any birthday feel extra special!

There’s something about sunflowers and warm fall colors that makes a card feel extra cheerful! I love how this fun fold design creates several different areas to showcase the beautiful Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper while still keeping those sweet sunflowers front and center. The rich Early Espresso card base pairs beautifully with the Cajun Craze and floral patterns, while the Cajun Craze vases and green leaves add just the right pop of color. The two die-cut sunflowers really bring the card to life, and the simple “Hello, Friend” greeting makes this a wonderful card to send for almost any occasion. A few little embellishments from the 2026-28 In Color Gems scattered around the card add just a touch of sparkle without taking away from all those gorgeous fall colors. This is one of those cards that looks impressive when it’s standing up, but is much easier to create than you might think! Be sure to download the FREE Project Sheet below for the measurements and instructions so you can create one of your own.
