Sweet November Stamps ~ The Stockings Were Hung

Today I’m sharing a cozy holiday card featuring the brand new “The Stockings Were Hung” digital stamp set from Sweet November Stamps—and it also happens to be my latest contribution to Craft Roulette!

This adorable new digi set includes a beautifully illustrated stone fireplace, plus two little girls with stockings and two little boys with stockings, giving you endless combinations for scene building. For my card, I chose one of the sweet boys carefully hugging his puppy filled stocking. To make the scene even more whimsical, I added the charming “Stocking Stuffers: Fluffy” digital image and perched her right from the mantel—because every cozy Christmas scene needs a festive little critter!

Craft Roulette Parameters (Episode #296)

This week’s challenge pushed me to bring everything together:

• Project: A2

• Colors: Fresh & Clean

• Element: From the Desert

• Random: Edge Distress

I incorporated the desert element by dressing the little boy in cactus-patterned pajamas—because who says desert vibes can’t be festive? For the Edge Distress parameter, I cut the edges with my Deckle Edge Trimmer of my focal panel to give the whole piece a warm, worn-in holiday feel.

Card Details

I colored everything with Copic Markers, taking extra care to make the stone fireplace glow with that soft holiday warmth. A classic plaid background helps frame the scene and tie everything together for a cozy Christmas aesthetic.

This card was such a delight to create—between the sweet characters, the glowing fireplace, and Fluffy hanging in her stocking, the whole scene just radiates Christmas magic.

Sweet November Stamps ~ Hug in a Mug

Today I’m sharing a warm and cozy card featuring the brand new “Hug in a Mug” clear stamp set from Sweet November Stamps. If you love cute critters, sweet treats, and all things warm and comforting, this little scene is sure to make you smile!

I couldn’t resist using all the charming elements in this set—the steaming mug topped with whipped cream, the adorable mice, and of course the cheerful little gingerbread cookie. Everything is colored up with Copic Markers to bring out those soft mousey textures and sugary holiday vibes.

To set the scene, I paired the images with a piece of fun red polka-dot patterned paper to serve as the wallpaper for the room. A simple wood-tone floor grounds the scene and gives these sweet friends the perfect spot to enjoy their mug of holiday cheer. I finished things off with the included sentiment, “Sending a big hug in a mug!”, which fits this set perfectly.

This set is absolutely delightful and makes it so easy to create warm, whimsical holiday cards. I can’t wait to make more with it!

Thanks for stopping by today—hope your day is filled with cozy moments and a few sweet treats too!

Sweet November Stamps ~ A Masculine Holiday Trio

Today I’m sharing a festive and fun holiday card featuring the brand-new “Nutcracker Trio” clear stamp set from Sweet November Stamps! This whimsical set includes three charming nutcracker characters, and I couldn’t resist showcasing all three of them together on one cheerful card.

I stamped and colored each nutcracker using my Copic Markers, giving each one their own personality with bright pops of colour and classic toy-soldier details. To keep the focus on the trio, I framed them in a crisp stitched-edge rectangle, then paired the panel with some vibrant patterned papers full of ornaments and holiday icons. The playful prints bring in just the right amount of festive flair!

This design makes a fantastic masculine holiday card—bold colours, clean lines, and the timeless nutcracker theme come together perfectly for a card that’s sure to bring a smile.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope this little trio inspires your next round of holiday crafting.

Sweet November Stamps ~ Holiday Travels

Today I’m excited to share a card featuring one of the sweetest scenes from the newest Joyful Greetings release over at Sweet November Stamps—the Holiday Travels clear stamp set! This charming little family is all packed into their festive red car and cruising through a snowy winter landscape, and I had so much fun bringing the whole moment to life.

To create my scene, I stamped the adorable family inside their car, then extended the background with snow-covered hills and evergreen trees to give the illusion of a long, wintry drive toward holiday fun. Those beautiful Wintry trees are from the "Horizon Lines: Winter Wonderland" stamp set. Everything is colored with Copic Markers, allowing me to build soft winter shadows, warm sunrise tones in the sky, and bright cheerful details inside the car. I especially love how expressive each family member is—such a delightful image to work with!

The Joyful Greetings release is live and ready to shop right now in the SNS store, including this must-have Holiday Travels set. If you're looking to make heartwarming holiday cards full of personality, this collection is packed with inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy holiday crafting! 🎄🚗✨
