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!
This was my first play session with the “Humble Home Bundle”. This bundle has been in and out of stock, but I believe it is due back in stock the week of December 2nd. I’ve had a very busy month of November with two (2) Vendor events and a Holiday Stamp Camp at my home. Basically for me, with Thanksgiving and my events, November has flown by! I made this card for my display board at all of my events.
You can find the “Humble Home Bundle” in the September – December Mini Catalog on p. 46. Punches are so much fun, especially the one in this particular bundle! I tried to keep this card fairly simple with some embossing, dies and the coordinating punch. My color palette was Real Red, Basic White and a touch of Crumb Cake.
I embossed the Basic White layer with the “Snowflake Sky” Embossing Folder, #162026. This item is currently not available, but should be back in stock soon. After stamping the house and punching it out, I used “Stampin’ Blends” to color. I added “Wink of Stella” to the white scalloped edges on the house and roofline for a subtle shimmer. The Real Red die cut circle is from the “Spotlight on Nature” Dies. The Stitched Circle is either from the “Stitched Shaped” Dies (retired) or possibly one of the “Stylish Shapes” Dies.
“Red & White Baker’s Twine” was added to give this card a bit of detail. I also colored several of the larger embossed snowflakes with “Wink of Stella” on the upper portion of the card. Overall, a fairly simple and cute card!
