Motivation Monday (9-8-25) Traditions of Christmas Collection

For today's Motivation Monday, I pulled out the Traditions of Christmas Collection and created some beautiful, elegant Christmas cards. The rich colors, festive florals, and touches of gold in this collection make it so easy to design cards that feel timeless and classic.

We kept the focus on simple layouts that highlight the gorgeous paper and let the details shine. It was the perfect way to kick off the week...full of Christmas spirit and creative inspiration!

Shuffle Card Traditions of Christmas

Today I'm excited to share not one, but two cards I created using the shuffle technique with gorgeous Stampin' Up! Traditions of Christmas DSP.

This technique is such a fun way to mix and match patterns. Plus it helps to get the most out of your paper by creating multiple coordinating cards at once.

Both cards feature a festive banner sentiment that reads "Sending Love & Joy", perfect for Holiday Greetings. To finish the design, I added a stunning flower bouquet, that was cut with a die, from the Designer paper. The gold brings out the richness of the designer paper and gives each card a truly elegant finish.

Step up your cards using die-cuts like below.

To make a shuffle card pick 3 or 4 coordinating papers.

If you want a border around your DSP cut your DSP 5" x 3-3/4" (my choice)

If you do NOT want a border, cut your DSP 5-1/4" x 4.

You can cut all pieces at once.

1. Your first cut will be at 2-3/4" (Portrait)

set cut off pieces aside.

2. Your 2nd cut will be at 2-1/4"(landscape) with remaining paper.

3. Your 3rd cut you will bring the 1st cut off pieces back in, and cut at 2") landscape.

4. Now you can mix/match and shuffle your cards to glue onto your card.

5. Die-cut label, and stamp in Cherry Cobbler.
