Christmas Scrapbook Pages

Christmas is my favourite time of the year. I love the lights and decorations, the anticipation, the joy of celebrating my Saviours birth. And, in 2025, I had the added joy of celebrating Mr H's first Christmas.

However, I am not a fan of traditional Christmas colours and like to use non-traditional colours where I can. In these two pages I've used blues as the background colours and then used a mix of non-traditional and traditional colours to create very different feeling pages.

I like simple layouts where the photo tells the story and like to used simple sentiments and minimal elements to enhance the story.

I have always had a Santa photo taken with my pets. I'm not someone who likes to have photo's taken of myself, so the yearly Santa photo is often the only photo of me my family gets! You can't really see it in this photo, but Mr H had his paw on Santa's boot which was very cute.

This page draws on the blues in the photo using the peaceful garden's DSP to provide a little texture and variations in colour.

This page was taken at the local Disability Trust where they set up this gorgeous Christmas scene. This picture called from more traditional colours to pick up and enhance the colours in the photo.

I've used the Traditions of Christmas DSP which had a lovely mix of Traditional and non-traditional colours in the papers.

Christmas scrapbook page

This scrapbook page celebrates one of my family Christmas traditions of helping out with the local community Christmas dinner. 

I have used squares of DSP from my stash and squares of card which I have embossed to add texture. 

I’ve also used a flip flap to hide my journaling and place my page title. 

Let me know what you think.

Christmas scrapbook page

I have been trying trying to use up my DSP stash on some scrapbook pages that I have been meaning to get around to for ages. 

On this page I’ve created my own Christmas trees by cutting card into triangles and then adding texture using embossing folders.

I am really happy with how this turned out

Santa Star Card

Hello,

Welcome back.

Today's card is looks simple, but there are a number of layers involved in it's composition.

First the white DPS was matted onto the Cherry Cobbler base card.

Using the blending brushes, Cherry Cobbler in was added.

Two 1/4 inch strips of Iconic Celebrations 6x6 DSP were added next.

On to of these two stars were stamped, coloured using Stampin Blends and then punched out before being attached using dimensionals.

Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added along with the sentiment that was heat embossed using white embossing powder.

The Sweetest Star stamp set and punch as so cute. I loved colouring the Santa and Mrs Claus figures. There is also a Gingerbread man in the set, but I am saving him for another project.

If you live in Australia and don't have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, please reach out, I would love to help you.

Christmas Star Fun Fold Card

 

I made this card for a card design challenge. I loved the simplicity of the sketch and I tweaked it by turning it into a fun fold card.

 

For this card I have used the Sweetest Star stamp set and punch as well as the forever plaid 3D embossing folder. The DSP I used is the Take a Bow 6 x 6 DSP and I heat embossed the sentiment.

To get the star to pop up from the card front, I scored it from point to inner point and folded it. It's secured to the card using 4 dimensionals stacked on top of each other!

I think that I am going to have to make more of this card design.

Until next time,

Happy Crafting.

Star Ornament

Who doesn't like a new Christmas Decoration for Christmas?

I was playing around with the Sweetest Star punch this week and created these super sweet ornaments.

To make them I punched 12 stars from the Take a Bow 6 x 6 DSP, scored across each of the points and then started gluing them togther. It was really relaxing to do while binge watching old episodes of Silent Witness. 

I also tried variations of the star - some from plain cardboard, some from embossed card. These were a little more tricky as the card was firmer and the embossed card lost some of it's integrity so was really flimsy so going forward I am just going to use DSP. 

I actually think that these will be an awesome way to use up some of my old DSP's that I have in boxes and will make great gifts for my colleagues at Christmas time.

 

    

I really like these, If you have a go of making them, please send me a photo in the comments. I would love to see your take on them.

If you live in Australia and don't have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator I would love to help you. Please reach out and I will get back to you.

Until Next time,
