Winter Greenery Holiday Card

September 22, 2025

Happy Monday everyone. I’m sharing a card using the new Kristina Werner Winter Greenery Bundle. This bundle includes the stamp set, stencil and coordinating dies. It’s such a beautiful bundle makes beautiful cards that can work throughout the holiday season.

For my card today I used traditional holiday colors of greens and reds. I also added in some gray and a touch of sparkle (wish you could see it in real life). My last couple of holidays cards I have made, I’ve keep the colors monochromatic. Today’s card does have a lot of green however the pops of red, gray and white really steps it up.

To create the card I first stamped the background with the image in the Winter Greenery stamp set. Next, I stamped it again on white paper and used the coordinating stencil to color it in. As for the white berries on the card I used the Simon Hurley Astro paste in Frostbite. Once everything was dried, I die cut out the floral image.

I didn’t want all the white showing behind the area that the stencil doesn’t color, so I grabbed a Copic marker close to the color of my cardstock and colored in all the white. I really like how it looks without the white background. To finish off the card, I used a white paint pen to add in a few dots on the background.

I hope I’ve inspired you to create with this new Winter Greenery Bundle for your holiday cards.

Concord and 9th Merry Mix Stencil

September 20, 2025

Morning everyone. Today I’m sharing a card using the Concord and 9th Merry Mix Stencil pack. In this stencil pack there are six different stencils that create a beautiful holiday background.

For my cards today, I used two of the stencils. The leafy greenery was perfect for this Beautiful teal card. It was super easy to stencil on Powder cardstock with Lakefront ink. The tone on tone background is so pretty. For the berries I used Brink ink and the pops of red berries really makes this card stand out. I paired this card with a stamp from the Seasons Greetings stamp set stamped in Poppy ink to give just a different shade of red to my card.

Now my next card was so much fun to make. By using the Nordic-inspired reindeer stencil, I also made a tone on tone card. This time I used Wildberry ink as well as Wildberry cardstock.

First I stenciled the background and then trimmed them down using layering rectangle dies. Next I stamped the FA-LA-LA and the holly jolly and die cut them out as well.

By spreading out the stencil pieces I was able to add a the FA-LA-LA on each one and then place the holly and jolly on the corners. I so LOVE how this card turned out. What do you think? What other color would you like to see this design in. Let me know in the comments.

Have a great Saturday everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

Morning everyone. Today I’m sharing a card using the new Concord and 9th Joyful Wreath. This die set is perfect for your holiday cards. The machine behind the Joyful Wreath is it’s layering process. The leaves on this wreath line up with stitched lines of the outer layer or you and slightly adjust them like I’ve done on mine to get a fuller look.

You can die cut the wreath with the center still in the middle of or remove the center with the included die cut. It’s a very adjustable die set to use.

Also within in the die set, there is a die with stitching on it for accenting your card panel. You can see it on the white layer of my card. I paired the Joyful Wreath die set with the new Seasons Greetings bundle. I love the sentiments in this stamp set.

The colors I used for my card are Pomento, Eucalyptus and Juniper. I love this color palette for holiday cards. The sentiment is stamped and heat embossed in silver embossing powder. For added interest, I used a silver paint pen to add some dots around my wreath.
