Traditions of Christmas

Stampin Up Traditions of Christmas, Christmas card designed by demo Beth McCullough.  See more ideas at

I like to tell people my job is to cut up pieces of paper and glue them back together. That’s pretty much what I did for this card. Stampin’ Up does color coordination better than anyone! I chose the Traditions of Christmas DSP for this simple Christmas card.

Measurements

  • 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ Old Olive CS scored at 4-1/4″
  • 4″ x 5-1/4″ Cherry Cobbler CS
  • 3-3/4″ x 3-1/4″ Traditions of Christmas DSP
  • (2) 2″ x 2-1/2″ Old Olive CS- the first 2 means two of them 🙂
  • (2) 1-3/4″ x 2-1/4″ DSP- two different designs of Traditions of Christmas DSP
  • flower-fussy cut or use coordinating die cut
  • 3-3/4″ 1-1/2″ Gold Foil- Forever Plaid embossing folder
  • sentiment- Ornamental Christmas stamp set- Gold heat embossed

Welcome to another Festive Friday Challenge! The inspiration for our challenge is Christmas Jumper Day! The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about Christmas Jumper Day at all! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start. It’s fun and it’s free! It will help inspire your creativity. Please join us! From the Inspo List I used Christmas colors, embossing folder and texture.

What is Christmas Jumper Day? Christmas Jumper Day 2025 is on Thursday, December 11, 2025. It’s an annual fundraising event for Save the Children, where people wear festive jumpers to school, work, or with friends and make a donation. Save the Children is a UK charity to support children’s health, safety, and education. We are an International Blog Hop and celebrate festivities from all over the world!

I got to meet many of my friends from a couple International teams I have the privilege to work with at our Stampin’ Up! Leadership Conference last week in Nevada. I loved learning and spending time with so many friends. My favorite activity was making custom cowboy hats. You’ll be sure I’ll be wearing mine at the Luke Combs concert in April 2026.
