Adorable Holiday Cards with the Long Time No See Stamp Set

 Can you believe we’re already heading into November? The holidays are barreling toward us, and if you’re anything like me, you’re knee-deep in Christmas card season! This week on Stampin’ Sundays with Katrina, we got cozy with the Long Time No See stamp set—a whimsical collection that features the most adorable dachshund and llama. These little cuties are perfect for cheerful Christmas cards, winter birthdays, or just-because notes to warm someone’s day.

🐾 Stretching Out the Fun: Long Dachshund Z-Fold Card



Our first card was a playful Z-fold design that let our little dachshund stretch allll the way across the panels. Using Pecan Pie, Old Olive, and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends, I brought this pup to life in a cozy Christmas sweater.
To pull the look together, I layered Traditions of St. Nick Designer Series Paper in festive reds and greens and added a few Traditional Sparkle Sequins for that perfect touch of holiday shimmer.
💡 Pro tip: The “Take Your Pick” tool is a must-have for handling those tiny sequins—add it to your holiday wish list if you don’t already have one!

🦙 Llama Love: A Sweet and Simple Christmas Card



Next up was our charming llama card, and I have to admit—I think he might be my favorite! I stamped him in Memento Black Ink, added a cozy scarf in Cherry Cobbler and Azure Afternoon, and gave him just a hint of blush with Flirty Flamingo.
The background layers feature more of that Traditions of St. Nick DSP, perfectly framing our festive friend. A quick snip of paper for a hand-cut “Merry Christmas” sentiment gives it a homespun, heartfelt look.

🎁 Quick Gift Card Holder (from an Envelope!)



If you’re gifting gift cards this season (and who isn’t?), this final project is for you! All you need is a standard envelope—just fold it in half and trim one side to create an instant pocket. I wrapped it in Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon, stamped our sweet dachshund again, and added a sentiment in Old Olive.
It’s elegant, easy, and perfect for teachers, coworkers, or anyone who appreciates a handmade touch with their gift card.
