Welcome to week twenty of the Heart Of Christmas Blog Hop!
My project this week brings together the Warmest Wishes bundle with the Peace to You stamp set and the Framed and Festive stamp set.
I’ve made a simple side step card using all of the colours found in the Celebrate Everything DSP: Basic Black, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point, Polished Pink, Pool Party, Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce.
Here’s the template I created for my side step card. It gives you two cards per sheet of A4 cardstock.
And here is my card. I was inspired by the cute “stack of presents” stamp from the Warm Welcome stamp set and recreated these presents on the side step part of my card.
I coloured the “stack of presents” stamp in the open doorway using Marvelous Markers and Stampin! Blends to match the colours in the Celebrate Everything DSP.
The presents on the side step part of the card were made with the Celebrate Everything DSP, die cut with:
- a Stitched Rectangle die – front spotted present
- the rectangle die that comes in the Warm Welcome dies – middle striped present
- a square Stylish Shapes die – top pink present
The card folds flat to fit into a standard C6 envelope.
I’ve decorated the flap to match the card with some more of the striped Celebrate Everything DSP.
The sentiment on the front of the card and on the inside is from the “Framed & Festive” stamp set, with some images stamped from the “Warm Welcome” stamp set.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Christine Blain. I can’t wait to see what Christine has made this week.

Such a gorgeous card and a gorgeous recreation of the presents on the side-step panels, Catherine. A bright and happy card full of colour and fun – love it!
This is a great side stepper card, Cathy. I love how you stamped and coloured the gifts to match those on the steps. I would have just paper pieced the DSP, hehe. I love the stamping on the inside with the hands and mugs, awesome!
A gorgeous side step card Cathy. Truly wonderful. I love the coordination of the presents in the open door and on the side step. Very clever. Great use of the combined stamps with this delightful fun fold. Thanks for the measurements – I have been wanting to make a side step card. Xxx
Oh my goodness, how adorable, Cath! I loved, at first glance, that you added presents to the steps at the side of the card … but am just tickled by how you co-ordinated the stamped presents with the DSP ones. Too clever!
What a wonderful card! I love that you’ve recreated the gifts in the stepper part of the card, and the inside is fabulous. Great use of the striped paper – I struggle a lot with that sheet!
