The Easiest “Fancy” Card You’ll Make This Season

The Easiest “Fancy” Card You’ll Make This Season | Stamp with Jenn News Update

Published: Tue, 12/02/25

Dear :

Thank you so much for all the kind messages last week — they meant more than you know. Jasper and I finally made it out for a proper bundled-up walk (pic below!), and even though I’m still a bit crooked from the Bell’s Palsy, I’m definitely on the mend. I’m hoping to be fully camera-ready by Christmas… or at least close enough that Jasper can distract everyone with his cuteness. 😉

A huge thank you as well to everyone who donated to my Kits for Kids campaign. Your generosity truly warms my heart. I’ll be dropping off the kits this week and will share a photo so you can see the impact you helped make.

And if you know me at all, you know I have a tiny weakness for Designer Series Paper — buying it, admiring it, organizing it… occasionally even cutting into it. 😂 It’s just so pretty! So today felt like the perfect day to lean right into that love. This issue is full of ideas that show how DSP can make your cards look fancy with almost no effort at all.

Happy Stamping!

P.S. Don’t miss the Paper Pumpkin sale happening right now — it’s a great chance to stock up on past kits or grab a fun crafting treat for yourself or a friend. Details are included below!

Order by Tuesday, December 9th

The Christmas season is always busy for shipping companies, and delivery times can stretch a little longer than usual. If you’re planning to order Stampin’ Up! goodies for Christmas gifts (or for your own holiday crafting!), December 9th is the recommended deadline.

Stampin’ Up! will do their very best to get orders out quickly, but delivery before Christmas can’t be guaranteed — especially as we get closer to the big day.
If you need something under the tree, now’s the perfect time to order.

Box Fold Out Card

If you’ve ever wanted a card that looks fancy but is secretly fast and simple, this one is for you!

The real star of the show here is the Designer Series Paper — those big, bold JOY letters get all their wow-factor from the gorgeous patterns in the paper pack.

This technique is wonderfully forgiving: just pick 2–3 coordinating patterns from the same DSP collection, layer them up, and let the paper shine. No special techniques needed!

Why it works

DSP gives you rich colour, detail, and texture instantly
Large dies (like the JOY letters) show off those patterns beautifully
You can use every last scrap — even small pieces look amazing in die-cuts
It’s a great way to make multiple cards quickly with one pack of paper
If you’ve been looking for ways to stretch your Designer Series Paper further (or if you’ve been saving your “too pretty to cut” sheets!) this project is a perfect place to start.

And bonus — this Designer Series Paper is currently on sale as part of the Clearance Rack Refresh. You’ll find it linked below if you want to grab a pack while it lasts.

Last Chance Refresh with Discounts

There are new items added to the Last Chance section of the Stampin’ Up! Store — these products are retiring and won’t be restocked once they sell out. Many are even on sale, so it’s a great time to take a peek and see if any favourites are still available.

If something’s been on your wishlist, now’s the moment to grab it before it disappears for good.

Paper Crafter's Christmas Countdown

If your craft table looks anything like mine right now, you probably have a healthy pile of scraps, half-punched shapes, and leftover die-cuts from past projects. This week is the perfect time to put them to use — and save yourself a last-minute scramble for gift tags.

Quick ideas to try this week

Layer leftover shapes (circles, labels, snowflakes) onto small rectangles of cardstock or DSP.
Stamp quick sentiments like “To/From,” “Joy,” or “Love & Thanks.”
Use ribbon ends — even the tiny leftover bits — as the perfect toppers.
Turn die-cut negatives into tags by trimming them down and adding a sentiment.
Try a tag assembly line: cut 10 bases, then decorate each with something from your scrap pile.
