A Very Merry Moose
This week’s AALL & Create Guest Design card features one “merry moose” and a whole lot of holiday charm. Clean lines, bright color, and a simple masking trick bring this playful design to life!
A Subtle Sparkle of Joy
The Flourish Snowflake die from Simon Says Stamp’s DieCember® release adds texture and quiet sparkle to this design. I repeated the die for a layered background and paired it with glitter cardstock to let the shimmer peek through just enough for a wintery glow.
A Sweet Season
This week’s AALL & Create Guest Design card is full of festive charm! A cozy red-clad character stands in a snowy scene with a sweet winter sky and a sprinkle of shimmer to capture the season’s magic.
A Little Journal Joy
Add a burst of color to your journaling routine! These playful, reusable embellishments feature the new Journal Jamboree stamp set from the Simon Says Stamp DieCember® release. Designed to clip, fold, and magnetize in place, they make journaling as fun as crafting a card.
Heartfelt Texture
The December Embossing Folder of the Month from Spellbinders features a charming heart-flower pattern that I couldn’t resist painting with Zig watercolor markers. The soft pinks and greens give the design a hand-painted feel, and the sentiment from the Stamp of the Month adds a thoughtful finishing touch. A twine bow and embossed texture complete the look. Have a wonderfully creative day!
A Caroling Cutie in Winter Blues
This playful winter card features a sweet caroler layered over a vintage sheet-music collage panel, complete with a glittery snowbank and a tiny decorated tree. A touch of white paint softens the collage background so the character shines in her winter blues. Wishing you a wonderfully creative day.
Joy to You (and a Wink of Winter Magic)
This playful AALL & Create card transforms a non-winter character into a holiday cutie using traditional colors and die-cut snowflakes. A frosty blended frame, sparkly snowdrift, and cheerful speech bubble sentiment bring the whole snowy scene to life. Have a wonderfully creative day!
Mixed Media: O’ Christmas Tree
The 2025 Holiday Dies from Simon Says Stamp coordinate perfectly with Tim Holtz stamps, and this Christmas tree design shows their versatility. I built the scene around a dimensional wreath layered with greenery, faux snow, and a classic “O Christmas Tree” sentiment. Warm colors and texture make this piece feel timeless and festive. Have a wonderfully creative day!
Holy Night
This card, made with the Holy Night stamp set from Simon Says Stamp’s And Everything Nice release, captures the quiet beauty of Christmas. Soft ink blending, gentle tones, and a glittery star bring a peaceful reverence to the design. Have a wonderfully creative day.
Peace and Quiet Sparkle
A cozy winter scene made with AALL & Create products: a Copic-colored angel, a friendly bird, and a soft green tree over a lightly ink-blended, snowflake-speckled background. I stacked a rosy geometric frame and a silver “Peace” sentiment for quiet shine. A dimensional snowbank adds depth with its raised, glittery finish. Have a wonderfully creative day!
