12 Days of Christmas Day 8 | Pine Tree Trimmings

Hi friends, and welcome to Day 8 of my Twelve Days of Christmas series. I’m sharing a card and a coordinating treat bag that feel classic, cozy, and oh-so-Christmas.

I’ve had so much fun sharing this series with you! If you missed any of the previous days, you can watch the replays on my YouTube playlist below⬇️.

The card features the Pine Tree Trimmings Bundle, and I quilted three of the Christmas trees to add a little texture and interest. It’s one of those details that’s simple but makes such a difference. I used Crumb Cake, Garden Green, and Real Red cardstock, along with Garden Green, Darling Duckling, and Early Espresso ink to keep everything warm and festive. The finishing touches are the small bow made with Red and White Baker’s Twine, and the sprinkle of Basic Rhinestones.

Measurements & Details:

Crumb Cake card base: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"

Garden Green CS layer: 4-1/8" x 5-3/8"

Real Red CS embossed layer: 4" x 5-1/4"

Crumb Cake banner: 3/4" x  4-3/4"

The treat bag was created from two 6" x 6" pieces of the Christmas Tags & More designer paper, making it a quick and easy project perfect for holiday treats. I used Real Red Shiny Ribbon to tie the bow at the top and added a stamped tag using the same bundle, so everything coordinates beautifully.

Measurements & Details:

Christmas Tags & More DSP: 2-6" x 6" pieces

Score on one side at 1-1/2" and 5-1/2"

Turn and score at 1-1/2"

Die-cut tag: Branching Out dies

These projects are perfect for Christmas gifting and are a great reminder that simple shapes, classic colors, and a few thoughtful details go a long way.

Thanks for stopping by! Merry Christmas and Happy Stamping!

December Sweet Stampede Blog Hop

Hi friends! Today I'm sharing my project for our December Sweet Stampede Blog Hop, and I had so much fun creating this adorable snowman card using the Festive Friends Bundle. This month's hop started with a sketch that featured several cut squares (see below), but ya'll know me, I didn't want to chop up a bunch of Designer Series Paper, so I decided to mimic the square design instead. And honestly? I love how it turned out! 

To get that layered square look from the sketch, I grabbed the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder and embossed a piece of Strawberry Slush cardstock. The texture is fantastic—such a good foundation for a Christmas card! Then I added a piece of the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper in the polka-dot pattern as the next layer.

I die-cut the tag from the Festive Friends Dies, stamped the snowflakes all over it with Cloud Cover ink, and then added a soft, blended background with my Blending Brush. Next, I heat-embossed the tree from the stamp set in silver, die cut a second tree in Garden Green, and layered them together for a little extra dimension.

Let's talk about this Snowman! Isn't he the cutest!?! I stamped him in Memento Black on Basic White and colored him with Smoky Slate for shading, then used Cloud Cover and Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Blends for his hat and scarf. Then I brushed on some Wink of Stella because… sparkle is always a good idea.

I glued the left side of the snowman to the right side of the tag, added Stampin’ Dimensionals across both pieces, and popped the whole thing onto the card front.

For the finishing details, I used Cloud Cover and Strawberry Slush Faux Linen ribbon, and for a little extra pop of color, I tied a bow around them using Garden Green Chevron ribbon. Such a sweet combo!

The sentiment is stamped in Basic Gray ink onto the little die-cut label from the bundle, and of course, I added more Wink of Stella to make it shine. And to add a little more sparkle, I sprinkled on a few Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink gems.

Measurements & Details:
Thick White card base: 11 x 4-1/4" scored at 5-1/2"
Strawberry Sluch Embossed Layer: 4-1/8" X 5-3/8"
Designer Series Paper layer: 3-1/4" X 4"

Die-Cut Tag: Festive Friends Dies (3-5/8" x 2-3/8")

Sentiment Label: Festive Friend Dies (1-3/4" x 2-1/4")

You can find all the supplies for this card HERE!

This card was so much fun to create, and I hope it inspires you to create something festive this week! For more details, supplies, and inspiration, make sure to check out the rest of the hop links, and keep crafting with joy this season!
