December 2025 SheetLoad of Cards - Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

Welcome to Creative Chelsey. Today, I am sharing my set of cards made with the December 2025 Sheetload Of Cards Template created by Alicia, of Call Me Crafty Al. Every month on the first she creates great templates which she shares on her YouTube Channel. You can get your template from her channel, the link is in the CREATIVE TEAM playlist link below.


Make sure to also see what everyone has created this month.

With the PDF instructions Alicia provides you can make 6 Cards with 3 sheets of 6” x 6” pattern paper. I used the Elegant Pine Snowflakes designer series Paper from Stampin’ Up and love how all the patterns work so well together.

 


I kept the cardstock color neutral so the pattern paper could stand on its own and draw attention to the fun angles made from the cuts in the template.

 


The Merry Christmas stamp is from the October 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Cozy Christmas. I wanted a bold Christmas Greeting and moved it from the bottom of the card to the center.

 


I love making cards using the Sheetload Templates. I think these cards are perfect if you are looking for some quick and cute Christmas Card ideas. If you have never played around with the Sheetload of Cards templates & cutting guides, make sure to check it out.

Welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey! Thanks for joining me today as I share my last Alternative Card Idea you can create using the October 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Cozy Christmas.


Today’s card features a gorgeous layered Christmas wreath with bright red berries, fresh greens, and a bold “JOY” sentiment right in the center. I love how the different leaf shapes from the coordainting Abundant Joy Dies combine to create a full wreath that feels festive and cheerful.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mAji1pYr_nlLOa1tyCgBiMo9gV6MuyvS/view?usp=sharing

 2- Emboss the Basic Beige piece using any Embossing Folder. I used the Forever Plaid. Adhere to the center of the Basic Beige Cardbase.

 3- Stamp the greeting “TO THE WORLD” in Pecan Pie ink on the Crumb Cake piece. I stamped two at the top and three at the bottom. Lightly splatter with a coordinating Stampin’ Blend if desired.


4- Build the Wreath on the 2 ¼” Circle cut from the remaining Envelope pieces – I used the Circle of Season Dies. Alternate adding the Leaf & Fern Die Cuts around the circle with glue dots. I used my Silicone Craft Sheet so the adhesive doesn’t stick to my work surface.

Add to the center of the Crumb Cake piece with dimensionals. See video for more details.


5- Add the White Sprigs with glue dots at the base. Place them evenly around the wreath for a full, festive look.


6- Add the JOY Sentiment cut from Real Red Cardstock with Dimensionals. . Add a touch of Wink of Stella to the top.


7- Tie a Double Bow with 20” of Twine. I used a retired Gold Twine, but you can use any color.

Find the center of the twine and hold with your fingers. With one side create a faux bow (with out using adhesive). Repeat with the other side. Then tie a knot in the center. See video for details. Add to the top of the wreath with a glue dot.


8- Add Red Sequins around the wreath.

Optional: Add a Basic White panel inside for writing.

All done!

Beige Envelope Front – 4" x 5 1/4"
Brown Envelope Flap – Tag Die Cut
Granny Apple Green Cardstock – 3 Leaf Die Cuts
Darling Duckling Cardstock – 3 Sprig Die Cuts
Any Red Color Cardstock – JOY Die Cut

———————— Step-by-Step Instructions ————————


1- Use the Cutting Guide 
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mAji1pYr_nlLOa1tyCgBiMo9vG6MuyvS/view?usp=sharing to cut the Beige Envelope Front to 4" x 5 1/4".

2– Stamp the snowflake images over the background using Pecan Pie ink using the stamp off - stamp on technique to get a lighter color.


3– Distress the edges by gently curling or folding back each corner for a soft, worn look. Add to the Basic Beige Cardbase with adhesive.


4– Die Cut the Tag from the Abundant Joy Dies from the flap section of the envelpe. Add to the center of the cardbase with dimensionals.


5– Begin creating the foliage arrangement:

Add lefoter pieces from the Tree Row Die Cuts, tucking them behind the tag - I used 4 total.

Layer the Granny Apple Green Leaf Die Cuts

Add the Darling Duckling Sprigs

Fussy cut the last of the Basic Beige Ornament the last of the green velvet kit pieces to fill in as needed


6– Cut the JOY Die Cut from any Red Cardstock - I thought I used Real Red, but I might have used Poppy Parade. Keep in mind after your add the Clear Embossing it will be a little darker than the original color. 

Add Versamark ink to the top by pressing it into the ink pad (only do half at a time).

Add an even amount of Clear Embossing Powder and remove excess. 

Heat with Heat Tool until shiny. 

Then repeat on the other side. Add to the center of the tag with Dimensionals.


7– Tie a small bow from Vanilla Baker’s Twine inside the hole of the tag.

8– Optional: Add embellishments or a white panel inside for writing.

All done!
