If you're anything like me, once mid-November hits, the crafting switch flips on and suddenly we’re knee-deep in cardstock, adhesives, and Christmas DSP. This week’s projects are all about keeping things simple, cute, and stress-free — because let’s be honest, the holiday craziness is already coming at us fast enough.
Today I’m sharing three easy Christmas cards featuring the Jolly Delivery Bundle from Stampin’ Up! These cards are adorable, beginner-friendly, and packed with charm… especially if you’re a pet lover like me. Dogs, mailboxes, Christmas packages — it’s all here.
Let’s dive in.
🎄 Card 1: “Merry Christmas and Happy Wishes”
What makes this card work:
-
The stitched circle keeps the scene clean and centered.
-
Layered DSP adds texture without overwhelming.
-
That tiny trail of paw prints inside the card? It seals the deal.
Tip:
If you’re using the Jolly Delivery stamps, Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends give the dog a warm, natural look. Add a pop of Poppy Parade to his scarf to tie in the card base.
📮 Card 2: “Special Delivery”
And the star?
Our little daschund in his red sweater marching across the front, mail in his mouth like he's on a mission.
Why this layout is a win:
-
Narrow strips of DSP stretch your paper farther.
-
The large stitched square creates an easy focal point.
-
Using the coordinating dies to cut images directly from the DSP saves time. No coloring required!
Tip:
Keep a sheet of mini dimensionals handy — they’re perfect for small die-cut critters.
❄️ Card 3: “From the North Pole”
I used the pre-cut pop-outs from the DSP (love when Stampin’ Up! does this!) — the cute little storefront and an envelope — and layered them over three soft polka-dot squares.
What makes this one fun:
-
No stamping for the images — everything is pre-cut.
-
Equal-sized squares make layout placement easy.
-
Works with ANY leftover DSP bits you have lying around.
Tip:
Change the sentiment and you've got a perfect winter birthday, thank you, or happy mail card.
✨ Final Thoughts
The Jolly Delivery Bundle is honestly way more versatile than I expected. Between the stamps, dies, laser-cut pieces, and coordinating DSP, you can mix-and-match your way through an entire stack of Christmas cards — and still feel inspired.
Whether you're into coloring, die-cutting, or keeping things quick with pop-outs, this suite makes it easy.
