Hello! Thanks for joining us on our Create with Stamping Friends Saturday Blog Hop! We love creating for you to give you some inspiration in your own crafting.

Did you know that we're on Instagram? You can follow us here @createwithstampingfriends.


Our theme for this week is 'Dreaming of a White Christmas', which might be accurate this year here in Calgary, it's been so warm!


Stampin' Up 2026.Christmas Card Idea. Winter Dreams Specialty Paper

Products Used

  • Paper: 'Winter Dreams' Specialty Paper. This beautiful paper is Secret Sea and the white details are flocked and add the best texture. The package includes 3 different patterns.

  • Colour Combo: White & Secret Sea



Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Card Base:

    1. Cut Thick Basic White Cardstock to 4 1/4" x 11". Score in half at 5 1/2".

    2. Cut Specialty paper to 4 1/4" x 2 3/4". Add to top of card.

    3. Cut Basic White Cardstock to 4 1/4" x 2 3/4". Emboss with the 'Softly Woven' 3D Embossing Folder. Add to bottom of card. TIP: When your paper has this much texture I find it best to add it to the card with Tear & Tape or Liquid Glue.

    4. Cut Secret Sea Cardstock to 4 1/4" x 1/2". Add to card front between the 2 other papers.

  2. Sentiment:

    1. Cut out from Secret Sea Cardstock, the tag from the 'Home for Christmas' Dies.

    2. Heat emboss the sentiment in white.

    3. Add the ribbon and twine to the tag.

    4. Add tag to card with dimensionals.

  3. Details:

    1. Finish off with the beautiful Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes. Aren't they so pretty?!
