Kaisercraft Joyful Gift Box - Stocking Stuffers/Fillers
Hi everyone,
Today I am sharing another of my Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Design Team Projects which was for the December 2025 theme of Stockings by the Fireplace - and one of the suggestions was to make Stocking Stuffers/Stocking Fillers.
Of course, you could also use these as a Mini Gift Box:
Now that it is 6+ months since the challenge went live, I can share my projects online.
I bought a bunch of 3" x 3" White Gift Boxes from Amazon and got to work to decorate them. I bought 40 for $20 - which is 50 cents each - so very economical.
I used Kaisercraft's Joyful Designer Papers and Collectables which is a 2025 release plus matching Kaisercraft Cardstock.
For the Green Box, I diecut a circle from Jungle Cardstock using a My Favorite Things Pierced Circle STAX die and my Big Shot then glued on the wreath which is from the Collectables. The sentiment is from the back of the paper pad. Kaisercraft's paper pads have always have a bunch of sentiments at the back which I really love. I added some height by gluing on some scraps of white cardstock underneath the green circle.
Lastly, I added some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush to the box and berries on the wreath.
For the Rose Box top, I glued on a wreath from the Collectables but popped it up on scraps of white cardstock, then added Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush to the berries and on the sentiment
On the inside of the boxes, I glued on a Collectable and added more Wink of Stella:
As you can see from the photo, the box is the perfect size for a set of earrings.
Finished size is 3" x 3" with a depth of 1-3/16" - or 76mm x 76mm with a depth of 30mm.
Thanks for stopping by!

Colorado Craft Company Stockings Mini Card #1
Hi everyone,
It's Christmas in July - and it's time to start sharing my Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Design Team Projects now that my 6 month term finished in May. You can start sharing your projects online 6 months from when they first went live on Splitcoaststampers. This card was for the December Central Theme of Stockings by the Fireplace.
So today I am sharing a cute little Colorado Craft Company Christmas Card:
I adore the stamps that Anita Jeram designed for Colorado Craft Company - they are just so cute and very sweet.
I first masked off a square using 3M Post-It Labelling and Cover-up Tape, then ink-blended from bottom to top using Distress Oxides in the colours Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch and Faded Jeans. I heat-set the background to make sure it was completely dry, then used my Powder Tool before stamping the sentiment with Versamark Watermark Ink, added the White Embossing Powder and heat-set. This sentiment is also from the same stamp set.
I stamped the image using Versafine Onyx Black Ink onto Ranger Watercolour Cardstock then coloured it using various brands of Watercolour Pencils and a #2 Round Paintbrush. I diecut the image using my Big Shot. I went over the black lines using a Zig Millenium .005 Black Pen to darken up the lines as they always lighten up a bit from the watercolouring.
The bird on the branch is glued flush to the ink-blended square but I popped up the mouse on 1mm foam pads.
I re-attached the 3M Tape to the square panel and splattered on some White Posca Paint Pen so it looked all snowy. Here is a close-up:
The snowflakes were punched using a Martha Stewart Snow Flurry Edge Punch but are the leftover punchies from using the punch. I glued down just the centres so I could pop the snowflake arms up - then added a tiny Blue Molossi Rhinestone to the centres. I added a tiny dot of Art Glitter Glue underneath the rhinestones to ensure they were stuck down really well.
Finishing touches were adding the Red and White Twine + Sparkly Glitter Glue to the two stockings.
Finished size is 4-7/8" x 4-7/8" or 124mm x 124mm.
Thanks for visiting my blog today!

Stampin' Up Wonderland Christmas Card
Hi everyone,
Today I am sharing my final Christmas Card that I made this Christmas season:
I pulled out one of all-time favourite Stampin' Up Sets called Wonderland which is retired but certainly one I could never part with.
To make my card, I ink-blended a piece of Bristol Smooth White Cardstock with Stampin' Up inks using Ranger Ink Blending Tools and Domed Pads. The lighter blue is Soft Sky - sadly retired - and the other inks are Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy which are still current. I did splatter the panel with some clean water just to add some a bit of extra-something to the sky.
I then stamped the trees using Night of Navy ink using 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation to add some depth. I lightly went around the image using a bit more of the Night of Navy ink but not all the way around so I could leave the lighter areas.
I splattered the scene with some watered-down Schminke Opaque White Watercolour Ink and a Fan Brush. I glued on some Stampin' Up Loose White Snowflakes which are from late 2024 but are no longer available. I used Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to glue them on which is a really strong adhesive.
I then layered the panel onto Stampin' Up Misty Moonlight Cardstock and trimmed it to 1/8" using my We R Memory Keepers Perfect Layer Guides.
The sentiment was stamped using Night of Navy ink. I used my Stamping Platform so I could get perfect placement, plus I needed to re-stamp it a few times to get a good impression. I diecut it using a Spellbinders Labels Trio Die and my Big Shot.
To add some sparkle, I did dots of glue with my Quickie Glue Pen and sprinkled on Hero Arts Prisma Glitter.
Once I had finished my card front, I layered it onto a Kaisercraft White Card Base using Tombow Mono Multi glue.
I wish you could see the sparkle - it looks so pretty in real life.

Docrafts/Papermania Noel Paper Tole Card
Hi everyone,
Today I am sharing another Christmas Card that I made recently:
One of my favourite cards to make is paper-tole or diecut decoupage. If you are no stranger to my blog, you probably already know that fact. There is just something so satisfying about creating them.
I used a Papermania/Docrafts Card Kit that I had in my stash which I bought at a Craft Show here in Australia prior to COVID - so that's a while ago.
All the elements came already diecut so it was a simple process to just pop them out ready to put together. It was quite fiddly and getting the letters in NOEL perfectly lined up was certainly a challenge - but I love how the finished card turned out. I used 0.5mm Self-Adhesive Doublesided Foam Pads to put all the elements together and even so, the card has quite a bit of height so I was glad I was hand-delivering it to my sister-in-law and not posting it.
I added some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush to the red poinsettia, holly berries and the word NOEL - alas, not captured by the camera but it really added so much life to the card to have that bit of sparkle.
Finished size is: 6" x 6" or 150mm x 150mm.
I hope you all had a great Christmas. We had my brother and partner + adult daughter over for Christmas lunch. It was both happy and sad as it was the first Christmas without our Mum. The last couple of years of her life were very difficult because her dementia made her very combative - and even though she came for Christmas Day from her nursing home for a few hours, Mum could no longer communicate so she was there - but not really, if you know what I mean. My Dad passed away 30 years ago so Mum lived a long time without him - so I take comfort in knowing that they are back together again.
Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Stampin' Up Snowy Scenes Christmas Card
Hi everyone,
Today I am sharing another Christmas Card that I made during this Christmas season:
The great thing about the Stampin' Up Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper is that you can cut out all these awesome snowglobes to use on your cards - so I spent quite a bit of time fussy-cutting all the different ones out. I went around the edge of the "glass" with Stampin' Up Pool Party Ink to hide any imperfections in my cutting. I popped the snowglobe up on dimensionals.
The dry embossing was done with my Big Shot and a Cart-Us Snowflake Embossing Folder (sorry, I don't know the exact name) using Stampin' Up Pool Party Cardstock.
The strip of designer paper on the LHS is from the same Snowy Scenes dsp.
The sentiment is from a recently retired set Stampin' Up - Greetings of the Season - and was stamped using Stampin' Up Garden Green Ink. I diecut it using an old favourite die of mine called Spellbinders Labels Trio which I have had forever so long retired. I popped up the sentiment a little using scraps of white cardstock.
As finishing touches, I added 3 x Silver Glitter Cardstock Punched Snowflakes to the snowglobe base with a tiny Molossi Red Rhinestone in each centre - plus two tiny Molossi Blue Rhinestones to the snowflakes on the snowglobe.
Finished size is: 5-5/8" x 4-1/16" or 144mm x 104mm.
Thanks for stopping by!

Stampin' Up Nests of Winter Christmas Cards
Hi everyone,
First up, I wanted to share some awesome news! A couple of months ago, I was approached by the team at Splitcoaststampers to see if I would like to be a part of their Dirty Dozen Design Team. I have been a part of Splitcoaststampers since 2008 and My Gallery on there has 511 cards which I started uploading before I even started blogging. Everyone there has always been so encouraging and helpful and I just love being a part of their community - plus they introduced me to Stampin' Up. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would be offered a spot on their Design Team!
Once we discussed how it would all work and the commitment needed, I said a resounding "YES". The tenure is for six months. How it works, is that if you are a PAID Fan Club member of Splitcoaststampers, you get certain privileges like your uploaded cards show up straight away in your Gallery instead of being delayed until Admin approves your card - and you can take part in the Monthly Fan Club Challenges. Being a paid member means you are contributing towards the cost of running their website and I've been a member for many years. If you are not a paid member, the Fan Club Forum, Fan Club Challenges and Fan Club Galleries are hidden from view. The main proviso for being on the Design Team is that you do not use any counterfeit products - which I never do anyway - but other than that, I can use whatever I have - old products, new products, retired products etc.
The Monthly Fan Club Challenges go live on the 15th of each month - and I and the rest of the Design Team get a month prior to the 15th to create our projects with the theme for that particular month - and have to upload them by the 15th so that Fan Club Members have a Fan Club Gallery full of projects and ideas to inspire them when the Challenge goes live. The monthly themes are set by the Dirty Dozen Admins and I already have all the themes for my six months. I started in December and will finish up in May 2026.
One proviso is that I am not allowed to share my projects anywhere online until my six months is up so I will have LOTS to share after May 2026. I feel so excited to be a part of the team and I just love that I am learning new techniques and styles of cardmaking that are taking me out of my comfort-zone. I have felt so inspired by my other Team Members too as we all have different ways of creating, interpretations of the monthly themes and our own unique flair.
****************************
So, onto sharing one of the Christmas Cards that I made this season:
First up, I diecut the birds on the branches from the Stampin' Up Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper using my Big Shot. I love how Stampin' Up has brought out papers that you can diecut images from because it is a great timesaver when you want to make multiples.
To do the background, I used a Blending Brush on Bristol Smooth White Cardstock to add Stampin' Up Pool Party gradually fading to white. I made the ink a little darker on the RHS. I used my Pool Party Reinker with a little water added to splatter the background using a Fan Brush. I did the same with Kuretake Pale Gold Watercolour Paint. I really like how the splatter just lifted the background from being a little plain. I was in a bit of a hurry so dried my panels with a Heat-Gun.
Here is a different angle so you can see the splatter better:
Next, I glued on the diecut image using Tombow Mono Multi Glue. This panel was matted onto Pool Party Cardstock then Cherry Cobbler Cardstock. I added some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush to the berries for some sparkle.
The sentiment is from the Stampin' Up Greetings of the Season Stamp Set - another retired set - but a fabulous one if you can pick it up second-hand. Here is a photo of it:
On a couple of the cards that I was hand-delivering, I added 3 x small Gold Pearls but didn't think to take a photo beforehand. I didn't want to post cards that had pearls on them because I wanted a flat card.
Lastly, I glued my card front to a Kaisercraft White Card Base.

Craft Creations Poinsettia Basket Decoupage Christmas Card
Hi everyone,
Today I am sharing a Christmas Card:
This is also my card for the following Challenge:
- Neglected Stuff Challenge 12/25 - where the idea is to use your neglected stuff plus you have to state what you used. I used the decoupage image (5+ years old), designer papers from 2016 and the border punch.
The main image is by Craft Creations - Poinsettia Basket - which is diecut decoupage aka paper tole. I popped all the pieces out then trimmed any little daggy bits around the edges of each piece - then layered them together using 1mm Dimensionals. I added some Stampin' Up Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details Glitter Glue to the centres of the poinsettias.
The image was layered onto Kaisercraft Forest Cardstock. All the layers were trimmed to either 1/16" or 1/8" using my Perfect Layers Guides.
The designer papers are by My Mind's Eye - Comfort and Joy - which are long-retired. I adore this collection and it has been one of my all-time favourite Christmas Collections.
I added a scalloped border to the centre panel using a Fiskars Scallop Border Punch and the Forest Cardstock - but it pretty much blends into the background: oh well..... I probably should have popped this panel up in hindsight. I have had this border punch for many years and it was probably the first border punch I ever bought.
The sentiment is by Kaisercraft - Cockatoo Carols - which was released in 2023. All Kaisercraft paper pads have a bunch of sentiments at the back so very handy. I popped the sentiment up on 1mm Dimensionals.
Once I had completed my card front, I glued it to a white card base using Tombow Mono Multi Glue.
Finished size is 4-7/8" x 6-7/8" or 123mm x 174mm.
Thanks for stopping by!

Stamperia The Owl's House Christmas Card
Hi everyone,
Today I am sharing a Christmas Card that I made using some gorgeous papers by Stamperia - The Owl's House:
Challenges:
This is also my card for the following Challenge -
- Allsorts - #836 - Christmas or Anything Goes
No stamping on this card - just layering papers and some diecutting.
The main image was trimmed from the 8" x 8" paper pad then layered onto White Cardstock.
The snowflake side border as well as the woodgrain paper on the card base are also from The Owl's House collection.
The Snowflakes were diecut from Silver Glitter Cardstock using my Big Shot and Impression Obsession Small Snowflake Set. This is another set that I have had for years and one of my favourites. I glued down the centres so I could bend up the snowflake arms for a bit of dimension, then added a Kaisercraft Silver Rhinestone to the centres.
The Silver and White Twine is from KMart (Australia) and came in a set but is no longer on their website.
Finishing touches were adding Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush to lots of areas on the card including the flames in the fireplace. Shame it isn't visible in the photo - but it looks so pretty in real life.
Finished size is 4-15/16" x 4-15/16" or 125mm x 125mm.

Kaisercraft Waratah Wishes Christmas Card!
Hi everyone,
Just sharing another Christmas Card using the most recent Kaisercraft Christmas Release: Waratah Wishes. I love the soft and muted tones in this collection.
I gave this card to my daughter because we have Cockatoos that visit our garden. One in particular that my daughter has befriended is Kevin and will sit on her arm to feed which is really special. Of course, skin protection is a must because of their large and powerful claws. At least Kevin isn't naughty and destructive and noisy unlike other Cockatoos who have ripped plants and flowers out and chewed our decking and window sills and scream at the top of their lungs. If you haven't heard how LOUD a Cockatoo can be, believe me when I say that if you are close-by, it just about blows your head off! Those ones get shooed away in no uncertain terms!
The main image is from the Waratah Wishes Collectables and was popped up on Uniquely Creative dimensionals. I diecut a circle from one of the 12" x 12" papers in soft blue tones from the Waratah Wishes Collection using my Big Shot and a Lifestyle Nesting Circle die then diecut a scalloped circle from a pink-toned 12" x 12" paper using a Lifestyle Nesting Scalloped Circle die.
The side panel was dry-embossed using a Couture Creations Twiggy Christmas embossing folder. It was layered onto Kaisercraft Dewdrop Cardstock and trimmed to 1/8" using my We R Memory Keepers Perfect Layers Guides. The poly satin ribbon is from my stash and I added Fray Stop to the cut ends to stop them from fraying. I glued on a White Glitter Cardstock Star from my stash of diecut and punched stars that are ready to go for my Christmas Cards using Helmar's 450 Liquid Adhesive. I popped this panel up on scraps of white cardstock.
The sentiment is also from the Collectables and was glued onto a Dewdrop Cardstock Spellbinders Large Scalloped Circle diecut.
The 3 Sparklets on the bottom RHS were glued on using Helmar's 450 Adhesive. I bought these Sparklets in a pack of assorted colours from EBay ages ago. Kaisercraft used to sell Sparklets but sadly, no longer :-(
The pink designer paper matting on the card base was trimmed to 1/16" using my We R Memory Keepers Perfect Layers Guides; the Dewdrop cardstock was trimmed to 1/8".
Once I had finished my card front, I glued it to a Uniquely Creative Square White Card Base.
Lastly, I added some Uniquely Creative Clear Glitter Brush to the red waratah and berries on the main image.
I am continuing to make Christmas Cards whilst I am still in a Christmas mood to try and get a head-start on next year. I thought I may as well as I still have everything out in my Craft Room.

Memory Box Silent Snowflake Frame and Deer Trio Christmas Card
Hi everyone 😊
Here is another white-on-white Christmas Card that I enjoyed making so much:
The dotted dry embossing is an old retired folder called Cuttlebug Kars Snowflake which I have used for many, many years. Even though it is retired, there are so many snowflake embossing folders available these days that you could easily substitute. The 3 deer are an old Memory Box Deer Trio die which is still available. The diecut snowy frame is by Memory Box - Silent Snowflake Frame - which I believe is retired.
I layered them all together then glued them onto a silver glitter cardstock frame which was trimmed to 1/16" using my We R Memory Keepers Perfect Layers Guides.
The sentiment is from a retired set by My Favorite Things - Starry Christmas. I stamped it using Versarmark Watermark ink and heat-set it using Ranger Silver Super-fine Embossing Powder. It was diecut using a Spellbinders Shapeabilities Labels Trio die - the 2nd largest in the set. This is another set of dies that I use often and have had for well over 10 years.
The silver glitter snowflakes beside the sentiment and above the deer are from my box of diecut and punched snowflakes. I glued them on using Tombow Mono Multi Glue then added a Franceville 2mm Adhesive Crystal Rhinestone to the centres.
Lastly, I glued the card front to a white card base using Tombow Mono Multi glue leaving a 1/8" border.
Finished size is: 5-13/16" x 4-9/16" or 148mm x 115mm.

Amy Design Cool Square Frame Christmas Card!
Hi everyone 😊
Today I am sharing another Christmas Card. If you have been a regular visitor to my blog over the years, you will know that I love to make white-on-white Christmas Cards where I combine various dies and embossing folders that (hopefully) creates something elegant. So, here it is:
The dotted dry embossing is an old retired folder called Cuttlebug Kars Snowflake which I have used for many, many years. Even though it is retired, there are so many snowflake embossing folders available these days that you could easily substitute. The 3 deer are an old Memory Box Deer Trio die which is surprisingly still available. The diecut snowy frame is by Amy Design - Cool Square Frame - which I bought at a Craft Show a couple of years ago - and is still available in Australia (not sure about overseas).
I layered them all together then glued them onto a silver glitter cardstock frame which was trimmed to 1/16" using my We R Memory Keepers Perfect Layers Guides.
The sentiment is from a retired set by My Favorite Things - Starry Christmas. I stamped it using Versarmark Watermark ink and heat-set it using Ranger Silver Super-fine Embossing Powder. It was diecut using a Spellbinders Shapeabilities Labels Trio die - the 2nd largest in the set. This is another set of dies that I use often and have had for well over 10 years.
The silver glitter snowflakes beside the sentiment and above the deer are from my box of diecut and punched snowflakes. I glued them on using Tombow Mono Multi Glue then added a Franceville 2mm Adhesive Crystal Rhinestone to the centres.
Once I had finished the card front, I glued it to a Uniquely Creative Square White Card Base.
Finished size is 5-11/16" x 5-11/16" or 145mm x 145mm.

Lili of the Valley A Snowy Hug Christmas Card
Hi everyone 😊
Just sharing another Christmas Card that I made using a Lili of the Valley Simply Print image called 'A Snowy Hug':
Christmas Kickstart Challenge #93 - If it's Christmassy, link it up
I love this cute image - it is just sooooo adorable! I layered the image onto burgundy then black cardstock. I added some Tombow Mono Aqua Glue to the hats and snow then sprinkled on some Stampendous Cotton White Fun Flock mixed with Crystalina Glitter so it looks fluffy AND sparkly. I diecut a heart from burgundy cardstock using my Big Shot and Memory Box Mini Heart Collection die set. This die set is old - from 2014 - but is very well loved and used because it has so many different styles and sizes of hearts. I added some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter brush to the heart because you can't have enough sparkle on a Christmas card 😉
All the designer papers are by My Mind's Eye - Comfort and Joy - from 2016 so long retired.
The black cardstock on the side panel was punched with a Fiskars Scallop Border punch - then I added the Burgundy Grosgrain Ribbon. I added some Fray Stop to the cut edges as this ribbon frays terribly. I glued on a diecut Silver Glitter Cardstock Snowflake then added a Kaisercraft Silver Rhinestone to the centre. I don't know what die I used because I have a container full of diecut and punched snowflakes. I always diecut and punch extras so I have plenty on hand for my Christmas cards.
The side panel was popped up on scraps of black cardstock as was the main panel.
The black cardstock layers were trimmed to 1/8" and the burgundy to 1/16" using my We R Memory Keepers Perfect Layers Guides.
The sentiment is by Penny Black from their Holiday Snippets set. I have also had this set for years and it has so many different sizes and styles of sentiments. Very practical and versatile! I stamped it using Versafine Onyx Black ink then diecut it using a Lawn Fawn Slide on Over die which was just the perfect size for the sentiment. Even though this die is technically made for interactive cards, it is very useful for very small sentiments. I added a Kaisercraft Silver Rhinestone to each side.
Once I had finished the card front, I glued it to a Uniquely Creative Square Card Base using Tombow Mono Multi glue leaving a 1/16" border.
Thanks for stopping by!
