Easy DIY Christmas Cards | Sparkling Snowflakes
Snowflake cards can be quite impressive with a fun layout and pop of color!
This staggered design allows for these simple images to stand out. I chose Fresh Freesia and coordinating gems for this simple design.
Easy DIY Christmas Cards | Sending Cheer
Square cards are perfect for small, single images and this one includes an embossed layer with a twist. And if you struggle with getting a good, solid image when you stamp, let me introduce you to the Misti Stamp Positioning Tool. CLICK HERE for more information under my Craft Room Favorites. Scroll down to the Misti section.
I used one of the Cheery Patterns Embossing Folders. It’s smaller size limits the embossed area which worked perfectly for this angled cut. If you look closely you’ll see that I added Wink of Stella to the outside ring of the embossed circles.
Easy Christmas Cards | Joy to You
Cut your designer paper into an “X” to create this interesting layout. Stampin’ Up!’s double-sided designer paper designs allow you to flip and interchange the pieces for added visual results.
Wondering how to keep those pieces in tack when making the “X”? Watch the video for a quick tip! Once again, the Misti allowed me to get a nice, solid image of the mixed font greeting. Wait until you see this stamp positioning tool in action during my video.
DIY Christmas Cards | Joy of Noel Dies
Missing the perfect stamp set? Look through your dies and mix and match images and text to create a soft, wintery feel card like this one!
Add Silver Foil for lettering and accents for the perfect holiday sparkle!
5 Minute Christmas Card | Merriest Trees
This Christmas tree uses the negative die cut image on the Very Vanilla cardstock. I embossed the Gold Foil using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder for added texture.
The gorgeous Navy & Gold Glitter Ribbon provides the perfect separate between the designer paper patterns.

Every card–every Idea–PARTICULARLY-WONDERFUL TONIGHT! Thank you, SO MUCH Lisa
I am so glad you enjoyed them! Thanks for watching!!
Hello, I’m curious, after making the cards, do you just purchase envelopes for them. It seems a bit thick to make envelopes.
Yes! You can use the standard A2 envelopes we use in the USA for this card.
Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful card ideas.
You are so welcome Sandy! Thanks for watching!
My favorite card is your last card! The blue and gold are so striking. Especially loved the glittered navy ribbon. Very elegant card!
Excellent choice! Thank you so much!
Love these cards. So easy and since I’m asked to make 20 cards for someone; I can see me getting these done.
I love the tree card the best but the first card with the 4 squares is my favorite.
You’re so clever Lisa. I truly love your videos.
Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed them!!
These cards just gave me ideas for cards I need to make for my church. The Merriest of Trees is my favorite. Thank you for the project sheets.
