Tipsy Tidings from the North Pole

Hi Everyone, Dalis here.

Some stamp sets steal a giggle, others steal the whole show… and this one might just be my forever favorite. It’s naughty, fun, and perfectly unhinged in the most festive way. The Let’s Get Blitzen sentiment pairs like a dream with the Santa and Reindeer Dancing stamp from Crackerbox Stamps, creating a scene that feels lifted straight from the North Pole’s after-hours holiday party.

This card leans fully into the holiday spirit — both the twinkly kind and the kind poured into questionable eggnog. The colors are classic, bright, merry, and loud enough that even Rudolph would squint approvingly. It’s one of those makes that practically winks at you from the craft table.

If you’re itching to craft something funny for your family, friends, or that one person who absolutely appreciates a tipsy reindeer, this set will keep the joy flowing season after season. Here’s to cards that toast, twirl, and tiptoe on the naughty list. Cheers! 

Supply List:

Additional Supplies: Snowflake brads, bling, pattern paper, and dies

Be Thankful For Who

This quote is very wise words from a young man.

I stamped the tree from the Charlie Brown Tree and Saying stamp set
using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored it using alcohol markers and 
layered it on top of blue pattern paper.
I stamped the sentiment using Memento Lady Bug Ink.
I layered it on top of blue cardstock.
I used two different Charlie Brown themed pattern papers
for the main layer of the card.
I used foam adhesive to pop the tree layer up and glued
the sentiment directly to the card front.

Thanks for stopping by,
Timothy

An Evening of Elegant Light

Hi Everyone, Dalis here.

We’re leaning into the soft-glow side of the season with the Candles 3 Lit stamp from Crackerbox Stamps, and goodness does it deliver a quiet kind of magic. The colors drift away from the usual holiday palette and settle instead into something gentle and refined, like a whispered toast in a dim room.

The thread accents and tiny embellishments weave in just enough texture to make the design linger in the mind long after you set the card down. Nothing loud, nothing hurried, just a graceful trio of candles carrying their own hush of warmth.

A little glow, a little shimmer, and a whole lot of elegance. This one feels like a deep breath wrapped in cardstock. 

Supply List:

Additional Supplies: pattern papers, bling, dies, and thread.

A Chrirstmas Gingerbread House

Hello Stampers. Vicky here today to share a Christmas Gingerbread House.
Have you ever made a Gingerbread house for Christmas? This is the only one I have made.
Gingerbread houses are fun to make for Christmas. And they are also fun to color.
I stamped all of the images with Memento and colored them with Copic markers, then cut them out.

Have a wonderful Christmas.

Sweet Treats For Christmas

Hello Stampers. Vicky here with a bag of sweet treats.
How can you not think of cookies when you think of Christmas?

Do you make cookies for gifts or hand them out at Christmas? Here is a card to go along with those cookies. If you don't have time to bake, give them a bag of cookies and candy like this.
I stamped all of the images and cut them out.
While I was making this card, I thought of so many other things I could put into it.
The bag, bow, and cookies can be bought separately. I added the link to the sets because they are money-saving.

Stamps Used:

I hope you enjoyed the sweet treats! 
Have a Merry Christmas!

Merry Grinchmas

I cannot think of Christmas without thinking of The Grinch.

I colored the Grinch Head and Grinch Saying Lg. stamp using alcohol markers.
I used the Grinch Mas sentiment and cut it out, leaving a small border around
the words. I die cut a scalloped frame using green glitter cardstock and layered it
onto red cardstock. I cut out the inside of the red cardstock to create a shaker
window. I added white tulle behind the frame with double-sided tape.
I also attached the Grinch and sentiment to the tulle with double-sided tape. 
I glued strips of paper on the back side of the image and sentiment to cover up
the tape so the sequins are able to move around freely.
I added foam adhesive around the frame, added clear sequins, and used 
plaid pattern paper to enclose the sequins. Lastly, I added the card front
to a 6.5x3.5 card base.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a 
Merry Grinchmas!

Patterned Paper Gingerbread Parade

    Hi Everyone, Dalis here.

The cookie crew is reporting for duty, freshly stamped, colored, and dressed to impress. These little gingerbread-shaped charmers from Crackerbox Stamps practically pirouette off the patterned paper, soaking up its toasty tones to look more gingerbread than sugar-sweet. A bit of decorating here, a flourish there, and suddenly the plate feels alive with holiday cheer and cookie swagger. Santa might need to pace himself, because these cuties are almost too adorable to dunk. 

Supply List:

Additional Supplies: Silver paper, white gel pen, embossing ink, and embossing powder.

Cheers from the Snarky Pond

Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

Snarky Frogs TAKE 2! Honestly, the moment the Sign Post Snarky Sentiments hit the desk, a Merry Kissmyass greeting was inevitable—CHEERS! The tiny bling-as-bubbles detail adds the cutest sparkle to this mixed media card. The background is a gelli print, and I recolored the poinsettia to coordinate perfectly with our froggie friend.

Additional Supplies: Gelly Prints, Punches, Golden splatter paint.

Christmas Tags 2

Hello Stampers. I have made another set of Christmas tags.
I mentioned in my first tag post that it makes the gift even more personal.
It's a great way to use the smaller scraps.
I used a die for the tags, but they are easy to cut.
I will be putting a Christmas saying on the back of the tags.
The first tag~ was quick and easy. I just used a punch.
The Second tag~ I stamped From Our Family, with Tulip Red 
and then I used one of our new stamps, Tiny Icon Set of 6.
The Third tag~We Wish You was stamped with VersaFine and mounted on black.
The fourth tag~The top of the tag is a punch.
The bottom was stamped with Warm Wishes, then sponged the edges.
The fifth tag~The snowflakes are all done with punches.
The Sixth tag~I stamped Have A Cool Yule, cut at an angle.
I had a scrap piece of snowflake paper that I added, and put a small snowflake in the corner.

Sipping Season Sparkle: Let’s Get Lit!

     Hi Everyone, Dalis here.

'Tis the hour for a drinkity-drink, and this card steps right up to clink glasses. It keeps its stance simple, like a well-poured cocktail, then leans in with just a few spicy embellishments that feel like decorative bubbles rising to the surface. A wink of sparkle here, a playful detail there, and suddenly the whole thing hums with that holiday-evening buzz where lights glow warmer, and spirits grow braver. Consider it a tiny paper toast to getting lit in all the best ways.

Supply List:

Additional Supplies: Shaped dies, bling, pattern paper.

How to recreate this card: 
  1. Stamp Glass with Memento Black ink and color using your favorite medium. I colored mine with alcohol markers. 
  2. Add highlights with a white gel pen if desired.
  3. To create the shadow of the lights, just offset the shadow a bit and follow the same all along the glass. Blend the warm grey color with a blender pen.
  4. Add a line of light blue marker close to the line around the glass, but not touching the line.
  5. Fussy cut the image.
  6. Cut a die cut from silver paper and doodle around it.
  7. Stamp the sentiment from Glass and Get Lit, and cut with die and draw a stitched line around it.
  8. Trim a piece of paper with the 25 and mat on white cardstock.
  9. I did follow a sketch from Kendra's Card Challenge for the background layers.
  10. Add twine/thread and bling.

Christmas Dino

 Hello Janet here with one last Christmas card. The kiddos will love this!
I stamped the Brontosaurus with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored him with copic markers and cut him out. Next, I stamped the Santa hat with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it with copic markers and cut it out also. I layered the Brontosaurus on printed Christmas paper. Then I attached his Santa hat. Happy Holidays is stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink on scrap paper and die cut. It is layered on the right side at a slight angle. I added some snowflakes and put a gem in the center of each one.

Handmade Christmas Tags

Hello Stampers. Vicky here today with a couple of Christmas tags.
Handmade tags add an extra personal touch to the gift.
I die-cut the tags and used some of my scraps.
First tag~ I used a snowflake punch for the border. On a scrap piece of white cardstock, I stamped the Reindeer, and used Merry Christmas from a larger saying stamp.
Second tag~I cut some patterned paper for the top and bottom. Another scrap of cardstock was put in the middle, and Christmas Greetings was stamped with VersaFine Tulip Red Ink.
Third tag~I had a piece of snowflake paper that I cut to add, then stamped Warm Winter Wishes with VersaFine Tulip Red Ink.
Fourth tag~I used a Snowflake stamp with Brilliance White Ink. I added the small snowflakes in the middle of the stamped snowflakes that I punched out from tag 1. I stamped Happy Holidays and trimmed around it.

Little Touches, Big Holiday Wow

Hi Everyone, Dalis here.
Don’t let these frogs fool you—they’re having a full-on partay! No need to behave, just make sure you don’t get your tinsel in a tangle. I absolutely love these little troublemakers! You’ll find several frogs in the shop, but this one is from the cool Frog Set 1 by Crackerbox Stamps. It’s one of our many fabulous (and slightly naughty) clear sets!
Today, I wanted to share how you can stamp directly onto book pages to achieve that mixed media feel without all the work. The natural text and worn paper add depth and texture instantly! It’s amazing how the smallest details can stand out the most. That little dangle flowing from the background to the sentiment? Chef’s kiss—perfectly aligned.

Additional Supplies: Gelly Prints, Punches, Golden splatter paint.

Christmas Joy

 Hello, Janet here with a simple Christmas card. One stamp and sparkly paper.
Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink I stamped the word Joy with Poinsettias on white cardstock. I colored it with Copic markers. Then using a stipple brush and green ink, I made a splotchy background. The white cardstock is layered on green paper slightly larger. I cut a larger piece of black sparkly paper for the bottom layer. A gold sparkly ribbon is wrapped around that before layering on the card. Then attach the green and the stamped white layer.

Enchanting Winter Fairy Snowflake Card

Hello, friends! Toni here sharing a quick holiday/winter card that would be super easy to customize.

I sponged the card front panel with a couple of shades of Catherine Pooler blue inks, using a hillside mask, then spattered with water. Imagine all the different colors you could use for the background!

Once dry, I stamped the Fairy Blowing Stars in black; I recommend using a stamping platform so you can repeat stamping to get the image as dark as I did.

The stamping platform is also handy for stamping the Blowing Snowflakes in white, as well as the
