Quick Christmas cards and last-minute treats with Humble Home from Stampin’ Up!®

Quick Christmas cards Humble Home Stampin Up
 

There are two types of crafters in the Stampin’ Up!® world, I find. Those who have sorted all their Christmas projects and are now thinking ahead to 2025. And those like me.

I was convinced I had enough Christmas cards left from previous years and from this year’s events, but it turned out the box contained some 3D projects which were making it look fuller than it was.

What I DID have was quite a big pile of stamped and punched Humble Home houses which I’d made for some 3D treat boxes. However, while making them, I got distracted and stamped FAR more than I needed.

So I quickly set aside what I needed to make the required treat boxes – more on those later – and used the remaining house fronts on Stampin’ Up!® Note Cards and Envelopes to make REALLY simple cards.

Winterly Tree Tops Christmas ornament

Winterly Tree Tops Christmas ornament

I love to make my own Stampin’ Up!® Christmas ornaments to hang on the tree, on door knobs, or even use as gift tags. This year’s Christmas decoration has a bird theme, thanks to the gorgeous Winterly Tree Tops bundle of stamps and dies (164066).
