Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Season of Green & Gold DSP

Last week’s Card & Cuppa session was the final one of the year. We finished with this stripey Christmas card.

You will know that I love stripe projects because of how quick and easy they are to create. They are also great scrap busters too.

This design uses the fabulous Season of Green & Gold DSP from the Online Exclusives range.

The DSP is cut into strips and they are then glued onto a piece of cardstock at an angle. Once dry, any overhanging pieces are cut away.

A sentiment in Mossy Meadow, to coordinate with the colours in the DSP is then stamped. It comes from the Greetings of the Season Stamp Set, also from the Online Exclusives range.

Both the sentiment and the backing layer are cut out using Circle Punches.

Finally, a swoosh made from Gold Trim from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo Pack is added, before the sentiment is raised up on Dimensionals.

I’ll now be taking a break over Christmas and New Year, but will be back in January with more projects and classes.

Countdown to Christmas 2024 – Week 2

This week’s Countdown to Christmas 2024 project is a very quick and simple design.

You may notice that the design is very similar to last week’s project.

At this time of year, we want to be creating pretty projects that don’t take long to make. This one definitely fits the bill!

By using the Season of Green & Gold Specialty DSP from the Online Exclusives range, a lot of the hard work is already done for you.

Cut a piece to size and layer that onto a piece of cardstock that coordinates with the DSP. In my case I used Garden Green.

Then, using the stamps from the Christmas Everywhere Kit, the ‘Merry Christmas’ sentiment was stamped in Garden Green. They were layered onto circles cut out with Circle Punches, also from the Online Exclusives range.

Don’t forget that kits are on special offer this month during the Kits Sale.

A length of gold from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo pack creates a swoosh for the sentiment to sit on.  I’ve raised the sentiment on Dimensionals over the Trim.

You can create 6 of these cards from one sheet of the 12″x12″ DSP. That’s 72 cards in total if you use all 12 sheets! Plus, the cards are quick and easy to make so you can create a lot in a short space of time.


The Gold & Silver Trim Combo pack is one of the items attendees will receive at my Christmas Card Making Day. Have you booked your place yet?
