Christmas Cards 2025 (Final)

Hello Blogger Friends and Happy New Year! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year holiday. 

My Christmas was a wonderful family time. For New Years Eve and New Years Day we spent at home. I have friends coming for another Christmas get together tomorrow evening. It's a group of 12 and I wanted to keep it on the easy side for me since it's a dinner get together.

So, I decided to start with appetizers- charcuterie board, a cheese ball and mini meatballs with a cranberry barbecue glaze. Then for dinner I will make a salad, stuffed banana peppers and we will order pizza. The banana peppers are in my freezer, and they are from my hubby's summer garden. I am looking forward to it. 

Now onto my cards for this post. It is the last of my Christmas cards. This one was made using the Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin Kit "Wrapped in Cheer".  The kit was designed to make tags and small gift boxes, but I changed it up to make cards. I used a 3D embossing folder from Spellbinders to add some interest. The wreath, bow and banner are part of the kit. I cut the Joy phrase from a die in my stash. 

This card was made using the green tag and greenery from the kit. I embossed the background, cut a banner with designer paper, die cut the Merry phrase and red bow, stamped and heat embossed the Christmas sentiment. 

This card was also made with the contents from the Wrapped in Cheer kit.  The tag, banner and bow are part of the kit. I angled the elements for a bit of interest. Again the layered panel is embossed using a Stampin' Up folder. The gingham panel is cut from a box that was in the kit. Behind that layer I added some designer paper. 

This last card was made using some of the contents of the Stampin' Up Joy to the World Paper Pumpkin Kit. This one is an older one from October 2020. I had a few embellishments left and decided to create a Z-fold style card. The floral images, white square and banner are part of the kit. The gold designer paper is from my stash. 

This photo shows the card standing up.

The photo below shows the card inside. I cut the peace, love, joy phrases and dove from a die in my stash.

I stamped my sentiments with the stamp set that was in the kit. I had one floral image left and added it here. 

Well, that's it for me for this post. I hope you have enjoyed the cards I showed today. So until next time......God bless.
