This week, we’re making a beautiful and easy handmade Christmas card. My sample features a bold red and white color palette, embossed background, and a cheerful holiday greeting. You can use any Christmas sentiment or Designer Series Paper to make it your own with your own supplies.

I opted to use VersaMark and WOW Metallics Gold Embossing Powder for my sentiment. This card would be an excellent layout for many Christmas Cards. Simply use a variety of Designer Series Paper pieces to give them all a unique touch!

Join me every 2nd and 4th Monday of the month at 7:00 PM CT on YouTube for Mystery Monday Stamping. It’s free, fun, and the perfect way to use the supplies you already own while connecting with fellow stampers. You can see past Mystery Monday Stamping Cards HERE

Pro Tip from sharon:

One of the BEST parts of Mystery Monday is that you don’t have to follow every clue exactly—sometimes the magic happens when you Just Go Rogue!

My two rules for Mystery Stamping are simple:

1. No Stress – This is your creative playtime. Don’t overthink it, just enjoy the process.
2. Just Go Rogue – If a clue sparks a different idea, follow it! Change up the paper, add an extra layer, flip the layout—make it YOURS.

Stampers tell me all the time how freeing it is to be “given permission” to go rogue. And honestly? Those cards are often the most creative and inspiring of all!
