Just over two weeks ago I promised to post a few more samples with the A Little Bit Festive DSP. However, I also participated in another “Vendor” event the weekend before Valentine’s Day. At the “Chocolate Walk” event, I was able to “cutely” package up chocolate candy treats to sell. I was fortunate enough to sell out of my “candy” treats within the first two hours! I was also excited that I did sell 6-7 of my handcrafted greeting cards! Honestly, I don’t make a lot of money at these type of events, but it does help me to get my name out there in the community.
As previously promised, here are a few more samples utilizing the A Little Bit Festive DSP. Currently, this pack of DSP is discounted 30% on the “Last Chance Products” List on the Stampin’ Up! website. Basically, with the die cuts in this pack of DSP, it was super easy to create several quick and cute cards for Christmas. HERE is my first post with the A Little Bit Festive DSP.
The above card was super easy. The striped DSP is one of the prints in this pack of DSP. A scalloped and stitched rectangle die to mat the candy canes on. The white stripes on the candy canes “shimmer” as “Wink of Stella” was added to the die cut image.
My next card used one (of many) die cut “frames”. I just added a greeting, a red ribbon bow and some “Wink of Stella” on the evergreen berries for a soft shimmer which is difficult to capture in a photo. Super cute and easy card!
A Few More Samples!
The above card used some of the smaller die cuts in this DSP pack. The white layer was embossed to look like snow was falling. I added some “Wink of Stella” to the tree branches and where the bottom of the trees touch the ground. I chose a small greeting that fit on a “banner” die cut to help complete this card. Super easy and cute!
For the two tags shown below, I used two of the smaller die cuts from the DSP pack. In true disclosure, I made a gift card holder along with a money/check holder, but forgot to take photos of them, figures! I love that these tags were very quick and easy projects and used minimal additional supplies such as Ribbon, Twine, Dimensionals, some CS and DSP.

The “A Little Bit Festive” DSP was a great offering from the September – December Mini Catalog. I held a Stamp Camp utilizing this DSP pack last November. Sadly, this particular product offering was SO popular that it has been in and out of stock for the past 2 months! I wanted to let everyone know that this DSP pack is due back in stock the week of February 3rd. In this next week, I will be posting a few of the projects that we created at my Stamp Camp along with additional samples using this fabulous DSP pack! Even though Christmas has past, better late than never..
Just above are two cards we created at my November Stamp Camp. I have several “newer” stampers/crafters, so I tried to keep these cards fairly simple. The stocking card uses two strips of DSP (top and bottom edges of card) along with the die cut “stockings” placed on Dimensionals. To complete this card, I added a Red and White Twine Bow on each end of the string of stockings. I placed a small Rhinestone in the snowflake center of the last stocking. The Poinsettia card utilized a “Distressed Tile” embossed background layer under the die cut “Poinsettia” from the DSP packet. Lastly, a greeting was stamped on a die cut from the Greetings of the Season Dies. A simple Cherry Cobbler & Gold Ribbon was the added touch to complete this simple card.
Here are two more cards created at my Stamp Camp. We used a “panel” from the DSP pack and a “Wreath” die cut. The wreath card has an embossed layer with the Exposed Brick 3D Emboss Folder. I added a simple greeting with the Perennial Postage Dies. For the Christmas Tree card, I trimmed the panel down slightly . Then, I added a layer of Real Red CS before attaching to the folded Garden Green card base. We added a Real Red greeting to the front panel. To make the solid “red” ornaments “pop”, I added Wink of Stella to them so they have a subtle shimmer. A few gold embellishments for a bit of texture completed this card.
I will do my best to post again in a few days with a few more samples using this fabulous pack of DSP. The smaller die cuts are great to use for gift tags and packaging. The “A Little Bit Festive” DSP is currently on the Last Chance Products List with a discount. What a great way to get a head start on 2025 holiday stamping and crafting!

November was a crazy busy month, but I did find time to work with the “Reindeer Days” collection. For this particular card, the “Reindeer Days” DSP and the “Reindeer Fun” Dies did the majority of the heavy lifting. I believe I saw a very similar card on another blog that sparked my inspiration for this sample. My apologies to the original poster as I don’t remember where I viewed the post as it has been awhile.
The folded card base for this card is Real Red. The top “White” layer is thick white card stock. Thicker white card stock was used because of the intricate die that cut out the window. I stamped the greeting from the “Reindeer Fun” stamp set in Real Red. After die cutting the window, I used “Versamark” Ink to stamp the snowflake and dots around the top potion of the card. Then, I added “White Embossing” powder and heat set. After this step, I used a blending brush to add PoolParty ink on the upper portion of this panel. The ink “resists” the areas that were embossed in white. Basically, just wipe away any excess ink and the white areas “pop” out!
Behind this “open window” area, I placed a piece of DSP from the “Reindeer Days” DSP pack. Once I layered the pieces together, the card was complete. Honestly, this was a very simple card to create thanks to the DSP and dies that coordinate with this suite of products! I must say, a super cute and quite EASY card!
