Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all! Hope you’re having a good week! I have to go to the dentist this morning to get a filling so….yeah me! 🤷♀️.
But – on a happier note – I’ve got an easy-peasy – but also super PRETTY! – Christmas card for you today. It uses a card from the Joyful Days Memories & More Card Pack (expected back the week of 24 Nov) and the Pine Tree Trimmings bundle. PLUS – it uses the die cut Party Alphabet letters that were left over from when I made this card a couple weeks back! Take a look-see:
I did a quick video on how to make this pretty card, which is posted on Instagram. If you’d like to give that a watch – click here!
Just in case you did NOT make that first card, I got my letters by first embossing a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock in the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. Then I used the Party Alphabet dies to cut out “J”, “O’ and “Y” from the panel.
I trimmed one of the super pretty larger cards from the Joyful Days Memories & More Card Pack down to 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ and matted it on Cherry Cobbler for the card front.
Then I adhered the die cut letters to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals – spacing them evenly across the panel.
Using the Pine Tree Trimmings bundle, I cut out three Gold Foil stars and adhered them to the letters with little dabs of Liquid Glue and the card front was done!
For the inside, I stamped a Pine Tree Trimmings sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink on a Basic White panel. On the bottom, I stamped the pretty pine tree image five times in Mossy Meadow and the star three times in Crushed Curry.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Pine Tree Trimmings tree and stars on the front…
…and again on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! So – whether you make the previous card first – using the negative of the Party Alphabet die cuts – or…start from scratch – this is a super quick and easy card to pull together for Christmas! Using the pretty cards in the Joyful Days Memories & More Card Pack – you’ve got your card front done and done. Add images and sentiments from Pine Tree Trimmings (I LOVE that pine tree image!) and – BOOM! Christmas card – done! And do NOT miss the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder! It’s a winner!
If you’d like to recreate this card, all the products and card cuts you’ll need are down below! And as mentioned above, I posted a quick video on how to make this card out on Instagram. Here ’tis on YouTube if you’d like to take a look-see.

FUNDRAISER SUPPORTING HURRICANE MELISSA RELIEF EFFORTS!
I’m coming to you – again! – for help for our fellow humans and their pets. What a year we’ve had. 💔 We’ve all been watching as Hurricane Melissa hurtled toward Jamaica and beyond in the Caribbean. The devastation that Cat 5 storm left in her wake is almost beyond words.
Since there’s really nothing most of us can do that is hands-on – I try to help financially. I just made a donation to relief efforts for families and pets thru the Greater Good Organization. As I hit Submit on my small attempt to help, I decided it was time to launch another Fundraiser enlisting the help of my online community of stampers (that’s YOU!).
The Greater Good Organization has multiple programs – all of which help people, pets and the environment. Our donation will be targeted to people and pets (and, my goodness, the need is great!) in Jamaica impacted by the flooding.
So – we’ve done this before, y’all – let’s make our support heard!
How can you help me help them??
Place a Stampin’ Up! Order Thru Me OR Donate Directly!
And – as an added incentive – if we hit our donation goal – $1000 – I’ll be giving away a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to one winner!
I’m setting a goal of donating a total of $1000 – and here’s how you can help me (and be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine!).
This time, I’m sending our donation in honor of someone. I’ll send the donation on 8 Nov 2025 – which is my Mom’s birthday – she’d have been 90 this year – so…I’ll be placing the donation in honor of her (Kate VanDeVeere) – she was a big giver in her life! 😍

Finn Fan Fix 
Allow me to set the stage.
A couple days ago – I’d let the kids out to do…what kids do outside.
I went out and called them and Finn came right back.
We waited and waited and – FINALLY – little bitty came flying up the driveway. SHE’D come “right back”, too – it just took her about 4 times as long due to the extreme shortness of her little wheels.
Finn…went to meet her.
And so…these photos.
WHERE have you BEEN, Young Lady?! Didn’t you hear Mom calling us?!?!
Get yer little hiney BACK to the house!
Maybe you need longer legs….
It’s okay – don’t be worried. She won’t be too mad. We’ll BOTH get a good-dogs-come-back-quick cookie, I’m pretty sure.
That may or may not be an accurate translation of their conversation…

Such a cute card! Love the clean design, perfect way to use those card pack cards! And yep, that conversation seems about right to me! 🙂
Thanks, Amy! 🙂
I think that is a very accurate discription (in secret dog language) for that episode. But, I think Finn really likes the little one, just doesn’t want you to know it.
Yeah – he’s decided she’s kinda fun. In a goofy little-dog sorta way!! LOL! Thanks, Mary Katherine! 🙂
