Hello fellow stampers! Welcome back to this week’s Heart of Christmas Stampin’ Up! blog hop for 2025! Each week until 24 November 2025 the Art With Heart team will showcase Christmas cards and projects to inspire you to create your own.
This weeks card is a Z-fold design that showcases the North Pole Delivery DSP. This DSP has a Christmas mail theme with some lovely snow covered village shops and cute animals carrying mail to drop into letter boxes!
- Pool Party card base is 29.6cm x 10.5cm, scored at 7.4cm and 14.8cm
- Pool Party strip width is 4.5cm, scored as above
- DSP village shop strip: 14.4cm x 4.1cm (x1) , 7cm x 4.1cm (x2)
- Embossed strip using So Swirly EF: 14.4cm x 4cm (x1) , 7cm x 4cm (x2)
- DSP dotty panels: 14.4cm x 6.5cm (x1) , 7cm x 4cm (x2)
To put the card together I adhered the various DSP and embossed panels to the card base first. Next, I adhered the village shops DSP strip to the Pool Party strip. This strip was then adhered to the card base.
For the pine and fir trees to stand in the middle I adhered a smaller Pool Party strip scored to make an open box. The trees are from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set and stamped with Garden Green ink. These were die cut with coordinating dies and the white edges coloured with Pool Party Stampin’ Blends to blend with the background DSP.
The sentiment from the Traditional Labels stamp and die bundle is stamped with Poppy Parade ink and die cut with the coordinating label die. The sentiment was adhered to another die cut label of Poppy Parade card stock.
Please head on to the next participant for more Christmas inspiration the lovely and very talented Sharon Davern. Sharon is also hosting this blog hop and If at any time you find a broken link she will have the full list of all those participating.

A wonderful card Rosa. I love the way you have created a scene with the strip of shops, the postal van and the forrest. Gorgeous. xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun scene you have created, Rosa, with the Z fold design and the truck driving in front of the houses and the christmas tree forest! Love it!
