🌲 Delicate Pines Christmas Cards — Cozy Snowflakes & Pine Bough Holiday Inspiration

 

A Touch of Winter Magic

There’s something about snowflakes and pine boughs that makes my heart happy this time of year. The Delicate Pines Bundle from Stampin’ Up! captures that cozy winter magic perfectly — a blend of nature’s beauty and festive elegance that feels like stepping into a peaceful snowy morning. In this week’s Stampin’ Sunday Live, I shared three cards featuring this gorgeous bundle, all showcasing the stunning Delicate Pines Designer Series Paper and coordinating stamps and dies.

1. Layers of Pine & Snowflakes



Our first card layers up textured snowflakes in Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce, and Old Olive, creating a dimensional flurry that practically sparkles off the page. I paired it with a strip of frosty patterned paper — it reminds me of that delicate frost that forms on your windshield on a cold morning. A few faceted snowflake embellishments added just the right amount of shimmer to finish it off.

Tip: When working with detailed dies like these, keep your adhesive light — a dot or two of liquid glue will hold beautifully without making a mess.

2. Warmest Winter Wishes Wreath



For the second card, I softened the look with a garden green ribbon trimmed in gold (also part of the suite!) and created a sweet stamped wreath using pine sprigs and pinecones. A light pencil circle helped guide the wreath shape, and a few cherry cobbler embellishments gave it that classic Christmas feel.

This one feels like a cozy cabin Christmas — the kind where you can smell the pine and cinnamon in the air.

Try This: Use your dies as templates! The inside edge of a circle die makes the perfect light pencil guide for stamping wreaths.

3. Celebrate the Season



Our final design might be my favorite — a simple, elegant layout featuring layered snowflakes on a dark, moody background of pine and berries. The sentiment “Celebrate the Season” adds a timeless touch that works beautifully for Christmas or winter greetings. I love how the crisp Basic White border makes those deep greens and blues pop!

Design Tip: A touch of Shaded Spruce behind patterned paper really brings out those winter greens without overwhelming your design.



Suite Highlights

The Delicate Pines Bundle includes a photopolymer stamp set and coordinating dies that make layering and dimension a breeze. The Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP (Designer Series Paper) features rich shades of Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce, Old Olive, Secret Sea, and hints of Cherry Cobbler — perfect for winter crafting.

Whether you prefer rustic wreaths or glimmering snowflakes, this suite has everything you need to create holiday cards that feel both elegant and heartfelt.

Wrap-Up

These cards were such a joy to make — each one a reminder of why I love this season so much. The textures, the sparkle, the rich colors… it all comes together to make something truly special.
