Big Thanks Floral 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar Card

This simple but beautiful thank you card made with the paper from Day 2 of the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar set is perfect for anyone you need to give a big thank you to.  The stamp set has a great group of stamps with a bunch of sayings and also a set of flowers, birthday and generic stamps. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Secret Sea card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar (Day 2) designer series paper (2025 Stampin’ Up)
  • 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar Advent Calendar stamp set (2025 Stampin’ Up)
  • Secret Sea ink (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Secret Sea Faux Linen Ribbon (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From Secret Sea card stock cut a card base to 5 ½”x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  With white card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” for the inside of your card and 2” x 4”.  Find the floral piece in the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar Day 2 designer series paper and cut to 4” x 4”. 

Take your 2” x 4” piece of white card stock and the “Big Thanks” greeting from the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar stamp set and stamp toward the right side centered. 

Put adhesive along the top front of your white piece and then add adhesive to the back bottom of the floral piece, lay on your Secret Sea card base and adhere together to fit your card front, forming a piece measuring 4” x 5 ¼”.  Wrap a piece of ribbon where the paper meets and adhere to the back.  Now adhere to the front of your card base.  Adhere your inside white piece to the inside of your card base.  If you would like to stamp a greeting on the inside do so, my friend has requested some thank you cards with no inside greeting so I am not doing anything on the inside of this greeting. 

What a simple and quick card to make to thank anyone.

Healing Hugs 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar Block Card

I got the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar for Christmas from Stampin’ Up and have opened Days 1 and 2 which gave me some great dies that go with the Stamp set that came with it and some beautiful paper, so I made this get well card with what I have received too far.  The floral paper is just striking, along with the pink brushed paper. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar (Day 2) designer series paper (2025 Stampin’ Up)
  • 12 Days of Crafting Advent Caledar stamp set and dies (Day 1) (2025 Stampin’ Up)
  • Label die of choice about 3” in length
  • 2024-26 In Color Resin Dots (2024-26 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Flirty Flamingo ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From a piece of Old Olive cards stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card.  With a piece of white card stock cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”.  From the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar – Day 2 designer series paper, find the pink painted looking piece and the pink floral piece and cut one of each to 17/8” x 5” and then each at 2” to form your four block pieces. 

Adhere one of your white pieces to the front of your card and then adhere your four block pieces to the white piece spacing evenly with the two small pieces to the top and the longer pieces to the bottom, staggering so that the florals are in opposite corners. 

Take a spare piece of white cards stock on your Flirty Flamingo ink and stamp the large flower, first stamping off (stamp once) and then stamping your flower so that is is a lighter pink color.  Use the die from the Day 1 dies to cut out the flower.  Stamp the flower center in full Flirty Flamingo ink so it stands out.  From scrap Old Olive use the leaf die from Day 1 to cut out three of the small leaves and adhere to the back of your flower.  Now stamp the “Healing Hugs” greeting to the lower right side of your label on an angle.  Then adhere your cut out flower with pop dots to the left side of your label.  Use some of the 2024-26 Resin Dots to decorate the upper right side of your label.  Now adhere your label to the front of your card evenly over the center point of your blocks.

For the inside of your card take the second piece of white card stock you cut and stamp the “Thinking of you” greeting in Flirty Flamingo ink in the upper center.  Then stamp off the larger flower again and stamp slightly off of your paper sides three times.  For those where the center is showing stamp in full ink the flower centers.  Adhere this to the inside of your card. 

This bright and cheery get well card would brighten anyone’s day who isn’t feeling their best.

Take your piece of Peekaboo Peach card stock and your Peekaboo Peach ink and stamp the flower inside.  Then cut that out along with a flower outside and the one of the flower outside of the daisy type flower.  Adhere the larger flower outside to the stamped flower.  On white card stock stamp the “thinking of you” greeting and cut into a label.  Adhere to the front of your card at an angle and adhere to double layered flower to the left end.

Sophisticated Sled Step Christmas Card

This was one of the Christmas cards I sent out in 2025 and received so many compliments.  This set is so pretty and reminds me of the holidays and being a kid sledding with my friends on the local hill.    

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Soft Succulent card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Silver card stock (Stampin’ Up)

  • Sophisticated Sled stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)

  • Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder (Stampin’ Up)
  • Soft Succulent ink
  • Thin Twine
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From the Soft Succulent card stock cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 9 ½” and score on the long side at 1 ¼”, 2 ½” and 6”.  This forms the step portion of your card.  Cut another piece to 2 ¾” x 11”, folded in half. 

With the light green card stock cut a piece to 3 ¼” x 4”.  Use the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder and adhere to the front panel of the step portion of the soft succulent card base.

Grab some white card stock and your Soft Succulent ink and the “Thinking of You at Christmas” greeting from the Embellished Ornaments stamp set and stamp and then use your label die to cut.  Adhere to the lower right corner of the front of your card.  Cut a piece to 3 ¼” x 4” for the inside of your card and stamp with the Soft Succulent ink and the “With loving wishes for a bright and beautiful season” greeting and adhere to the inside of your card. 

That gets your card all done except for building the sled.  With the silver card stock cut the sled rails.  With the Crumb Cake card stock cut the wood base for the sled and the wood rail for the front of the sled.  With your thin twin feed through the two holes of the wood rail for the front of the sled.  Then adhere both of the wood looking pieces to the silver rails.  Cut one of the leafy pieces out of soft succulent card stock and another out of the light green card stock, adhering the light green to the top of the Soft Succulent one, angled a bit so they both show and adhere that to the upper part of the wood base.  With the Real Red card stock cut a bow and adhere that to the front of the leaves.  Adhere the sled to the front upper portion of your card with pop dots to set it off.

From the floral spray paper use the die from the Christmas Greenery dies to cut out one with the pink and red flowers.  Use the large leaf die to cut out a piece from the gold card stock and cut into pieces and adhere to the back of your floral spray.  With a scrap piece of white card cut out the double banner label die from the Traditional Label dies.
