Gingerbread Christmas Card

 Today I’m sharing a sweet and festive Gingerbread Christmas Card created for  Pajama Crafter Stamps. It features gingerbread friends, cozy patterns, and classic holiday colors!

This card came together using a mix of die cutting, coloring, and layering to build a cheerful little gingerbread parade across the bottom of the design. Each gingerbread person is colored with warm, baked-cookie tones. I finished off with cute red bows and tiny Santa hat stickers for an extra festive touch. The curved border die adds movement and frames them perfectly against the patterned paper below.

Up top, I added a stitched circle element with candy canes and finished the card with a layered “Merry Christmas”sentiment that really pops from the background. A blend of kraft, cream, burgundy, and patterned papers brings a traditional, homey feel that reminds me of holiday baking days.

This project was such a joy to create, and I hope it brings a smile and maybe even a craving for gingerbread to your day!

Holiday Joy with Molly

Today I’m sharing a festive Christmas card created with 

a beautiful Conie Fong digital stamp. 

Molly's Fairy Gift without Wings

This digi is part of the 

Molly Fairy Christmas Bundle.

I colored this sweet little girl in vibrant teal and berry tones,

matching her outfit to the patterned paper and sparkling accents on the card. 

The background is embossed with a snowy design for extra texture.

 The bold dark peach and white strip adds a cheerful pop of color.

To finish the card, I added a glittery “Joy” die cut sentiment and 

a row of coordinating gems for just the right amount of holiday sparkle. 

This design is simple to assemble yet full of charm.

Perfect for sending warm wishes this season.

Merry Christmoose Gift Box

Happy Saturday!

My post today is for this month's 

Polkadoodles Craft & Card Making Challenge.

The theme is

ANYTHING GOES

My inspiration project is a treat box.

The design team was asked to create a gift, not a card.

This box measures 3 12 x 3 1/2 inches and would work, as well,

for holding a gift card or jewelry.

The focal on the box top is

Snowy Sleigh with Parcels & Gifts - Elvis Wesley Moose Printable.

I colored this cute little guy with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut.

I handcut a couple "snow banks, added some glitter glue.

A die cut tree is added behind Elvis Wesley.

He is popped with foam tape onto a layered die cut circle.

The background paper on the box is from

Theo Penguin Paper Bundle 4.

I printed the sentiment from

Elvis Wesley Moose Themed Sentiments.

I hope you'll join in!

Have a great weekend!

DIY Holiday Ornaments

Today I’m sharing a trio of festive handmade ornaments created for Clear Scraps. These are perfect for adding a touch of holiday charm to your tree, gift packaging, or seasonal décor. Each ornament features its own unique style, yet they all come together beautifully as a coordinated set.

I've used the Wood Holiday Collection Shapes for this project.

Paint each shape with acrylic paints or whatever you prefer to add color.

Then all there is to do is add embellishments.

 Merry & Bright Bulb Ornament

For this classic ornament shape, I painted the wood base a rich holiday red. Gold gilding wax was added to the top. I used low temp glue to adhere a piece of red metallic twine to the back. The “Merry & Bright” sentiment is a die cut. A cluster of greenery, gold berries, jingle bells, and a bright red bow give it that extra pop of Christmas cheer. This one feels like it came straight from a cozy, traditional holiday home!

Let It Snow Snowflake Ornament

The snowflake design is painted in crisp white and accented with a frosty blue sentiment die cut. I added glittery blue berries, greenery, and silver bells for a chilly little cluster that’s perfect for winter lovers. It sparkles beautifully on the tree!

 Noel Christmas Tree Ornament

This tree-shaped ornament might be my favorite! I painted it a deep evergreen and added the gold “Noel” script die cut along the bottom. The faux greenery and colorful berries give it a mini-decorated-tree look, topped with a golden star die cut for the perfect finishing touch.

These ornaments were so fun to make and come together quickly—great for handmade gifts, craft fairs, or even a family craft night.

Snow Lady Holiday Card

 Hey there! Judy here and I’m excited to share a cheerful and whimsical Christmas card. My Snow Lady Holiday Card is so fun with the Two Snow Ladies Stamps from Pajama Crafter Stamps! This design has lots personality, festive colors, and plenty of layered details. All this helps to bring the holiday spirit to life.

I started with a soft pink card base to give the project a warm, playful feel. To build the background, I added three vertical panels of snowflake-patterned paper backed with red cardstock for contrast. These panels add great visual balance and make the perfect background for the focal point.

The star of the show, of course, is this fabulous Snow Lady. Her winter scarf and stylish red hat are the perfect attire for holiday celebrations. 

Coloring her with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cutting really bring her to life. Popping her onto a delicate stitched circle layered over a fancy die-cut background piece make her stand out. A few die-cut snowflakes and red pearls bring extra texture, dimension, and holiday charm.

I die cut the sentiment with the Christmas Words with Shadow Die. Placing it at the top, nestled among more snowflakes make for a fun, wintry touch.

The Two Snow Ladies Stamps are perfect for creating lighthearted and festive holiday greetings. And what a perfect way to bring a smile to someone's face this season!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Happy crafting, and Merry Christmas!

New Year Rosettes

Ring in 2026 with a festive handmade touch!  Judy here with  a New Year Rosettes project for CutCardStock.These are a fun and elegant way to add sparkle to your holiday décor.  You can use them as table centerpieces, party picks, or photo-prop accents. Created with shimmering metallic cardstock and layered rosettes from CutCardStock, this project brings together all the glitz and glamour we love about New Year’s Eve.

Materials

DCS Gold Glitter Heavyweight Cardstock

Bright Foil 10 pt Silver Cardstock

Stardream Metallic Onyx 105 lb CardStock

Patterned Papers

Circle, word & number dies

Firework stamps, Versamark, embossing powder

Score board

Glue, low temp glue gun & glue sticks, double sided tape

Dowels

Die Cutting

Die cut circles, 1 large and 1 medium size using Gold Glitter, Silver and Black cardstock.

Rosettes

Cut 3 strips of 1 3/4 x 12 inch pattern paper for each rosette.

Score every 1/2 inch along the 12 inch side of each strip. Accordion fold. 

Cut 2 small circles for each rosette.

Assemble

Adhere 3 strips end to end with double sided tape to form a circle. Squeeze the circle together tightly and glue small circle to center on each side.

Add Embellishments to the medium size circles. 

Adhere the rosette pieces to the large circles. Layer the medium size, embellished circles over the rosettes. 

Glue dowels to each rosette.

Each rosette features its own celebratory element—fireworks, glittered accents, and a bold “2026”—all anchored in a small arrangement that’s easy to customize for your own party theme or color palette.

Rosettes are one of my favorite projects because they look impressively detailed but are incredibly beginner-friendly. Once you get the hang of scoring, folding, and assembling the layers, you can mix and match shapes, textures, and sentiments to create endless variations.

Whether you’re hosting a big celebration or keeping things cozy at home, these New Year Rosettes are a charming way to welcome a fresh start. Cheers to creativity, sparkle, and a fabulous year ahead!
