Enchanting Christmas Collection – Make This Season Magical

G’Day Friends,

 There’s something truly magical about Christmas — the twinkle of fairy lights, the scent of pine and the joy of creating something heartfelt.  What better way to capture the spirit of the season than with the Enchanting Christmas Collection?

Can you believe this is our last share with the Enchanting Christmas Collection.  From here we will now be creating for our Christmas in July Super Saturday.

Be sure to chack out Robbie’s project.

Whether you’re crafting handmade cards, gift tags, festive scrapbook page, or December journals, these papers are designed to bring warmth, charm and a touch of holiday sparkle to your projects.

 What Makes These Papers Enchanting?

  • Classic Meets Whimsy – Think holly berries, snowflakes, Santa and vintage ornaments — all wrapped in a cozy palette of soft blues, soft purples and frosty whites.

  • Coordinated Designs – Each sheet is thoughtfully designed to mix and match effortlessly, making your creative process quick and stress-free.

  • Perfect for All Skill Levels – Whether you’re a seasoned card maker or just starting out, these papers are easy to work with and forgiving, especially for simple folds and layouts.

 Crafting Ideas –

  • Quick & Easy Cards – Use one patterned sheet as a background, add an Embossed Die cut & Sentiment Sheet AND you’re done!

  • Mini Albums & Journals – Create a Christmas in July Daily album or memory book to document the month.

 Pro Tip –

Layering is your best friend!  Combine papers with dfferent colour Cardstock, Embossed Die Cuts, Ribbon & Embellishment to add dimension and festive flair without overcomplicating the design.

Handmade Birthday Card for Him with Lakeside Memories Collection

G’Day Friends,

There’s something timeless and peaceful about lakeside views — and when you combine that with handmade touches, you get a birthday card that’s both meaningful and masculine.

This is my card today for Anything Goes Saturday, created with the gorgeous Lakeside Memories Collection by Paper Rose Studio.  It is also the Collection created for my PaperCraft Kit.  Click HERE to purchase your kit.

Don’t forget to check out to see what Robbie has created.

This Paper Collection features soft blues, greens, yellows & browns, polka dots, checkes/plaids and natural outdoor elements like boats, water wildlife, trees and cabins.  It’s perfect for the nature-loving fella in your life!

Card Details –

  • Base – Early Espresso – Stampin’ Up!

  • Background – Lakeside Memories Collection – Patterns & Basics – Paper Rose Studio

  • Layering – Early Espresso & Pattern Paper

  • Embellishments – Metallic Dots

Why I Love It –

This card was inspired by scraps of left over paper from my June PaperCraft Kits.  It also reminds me of the fun times with Dad when we use to the creeks, fishing & swimming or just relaxing by tossing in a line.   The Lakeside Memories Papers really bring those moments to life, making this a thoughtful card for dads, brothers, uncles, or friends.

Tip –

Don’t be afraid to keep it simple – blokes usually appreciate clean, natural designs.  A pop of texture or a rustic element goes a long way!

This card was also our Free Friday PDF Tutorial in our Card Making Made Simple FB Group.  You are free to join if you wish.

Anything Goes Saturday with a Quick & Easy Fun Fold

G’Day Friends,

Once again I’m sharing the card created for our Anything Goes Saturday.  Be sure to check out Robbie’s project she created by clicking on the link.

I decided to try & do a quick & easy Fun Fold but as usual my projects turn into a mountain & quickly become “bigger than Ben-Hur” lol.

I pulled out an oldie, but a good long retired Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up! & teamed it up with papers from Craft Consortium.  I think they work perfectly together, don’t you?

Supplies –

  • Enjoy the Moment – Stampin’ Up!
  • Basic White Smooth Cardstock – Paper Rose Studio
  • Early Espresso Cardstock – Stampin’ Up!
  • Early Espresso Ink – Stampin’ Up!

Until next time, have a crafty day!

Easy DIY Christmas Card Using Enchanting Chrismas Collection

G’Day Friends,

Creating Christmas cards are the perfect time to slow down and share a bit of handmade joy. If you’re looking for a simple yet stunning way to spread cheer this season, creating your own Christmas cards is a wonderful place to start.  And the secret ingredient?  Enchanting Christmas Collection!

This is also the Collection Robbie & I will be using for our Christmas in July Super Saturday.

Throughout June, we’re sharing lots of easy & quick projects on our blogs, YouTube channels & even more ideas & inspiration in our Newsletters.

To view robbie’s project for today, click HERE.

How to Make It –

  1. Pick Your Star Paper
    Choose 2 sheets of Enchanting Christmas Paper that will set the tone.  Maybe it’s a cozy plaid, a snowy village scene, or elegant gold foil stars.
  2. Create a Focal Point
    Cut a rectangle or oval from your paper and layer it on your white layer.  Use Dimensional Tape if you want to add dimension.
  3. Add Embellishments
    Layer on ribbon, add a festive sticker, or glue on some tiny buttons for a charming handmade feel.  A mini bow instantly ups the cute factor!
  4. Write or Stamp a Holiday Greeting
    “Merry Christmas,” “Warm Wishes,” or even just “Joy” works perfectly.  Handwritten messages add a personal touch, but sentiment sheets or stamps make it quick and polished.
  5. Add a Little Sparkle
    adding embellishment or a touch of glitter glue around the edges or a dash of metallic pen goes a long way in making your card feel extra special.
