I’ve got 4 DIY Christmas cards made with the Stampin’ Up! Gnome for the Holidays to share. Talk about easy homemade cards for the season! Plus, I’m sharing tips for coloring with the Stampin’ Blends. I think these are such cute Christmas cards.
Aside from the Gnome, the second feature on these cards is coloring with the Stampin’ Blends. These are my favorite alcohol based markers. I truly never liked to color until I started using these–they are awesome!
These 4 DIY Christmas cards are so easy to make; just layer the stamped images onto pieces of the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper. This paper is seriously the best but it will go away by the end of December, so grab it if you like it. You’ll use this paper year round and it makes card making a breeze.

Wouldn’t you love to sit for one hour and make these 4 DIY Christmas cards that will bring joy to yourself as you make them but also to your family and friends who would love a homemade Christmas card? I’ve got all the tips and tricks you need in this video tutorial along with plenty of tips on coloring with Stampin’ Blends!
DIY Christmas Card Details
It’s the same basic cutting dimensions for each of the cards:
- Card Base: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ (or 4 1/4″ x 11″)
- Plaid DSP: 5″ x 3 3/4″
- Coordinating Layer: 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″
Did you catch my tip in the video for how to figure out the size of the card stock for the greeting?
Just grab any color of cardstock that goes with the DSP that you use!
All of the images on the 4 DIY Christmas cards were colored with Stampin’ Blends. Again–any colors will work. Keep scrolling to see the complete list of all the supplies and colors of Blends that I used.

Good morning!! I’m a plaid woman too. My husband always wore plaid flannel shirts all winter. Your color choices are always so nice. I try to match them as good as I can to come near to your look when I’m casing one of your cards. Such fun to watch videos all morning. Thank you for your good ideas and for the pleasure you bring to others like me. See you tomorrow,
That’s so sweet of you; thank you! I’m so blessed to share ideas with all of you
I really enjoy watching your videos . When making multiple cards, like on Holidays, your cards are perfect for a less advanced stamper.
My family and friends enjoy receiving these personalized cards.
Thank you!
Yes, I love to bring quick and simple ideas that work for beginners or anyone who needs quick and simple ideas. Thanks for watching!
Love your cards. I used to make very detailed cards that would take hours to create. Now I just want to make as many cards as possible doing less work! That’s why I enjoy your videos and wonderful ideas to make cards. Thanks to you, I work smarter, not harder. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank your family for their service to our country.
Have a wonderful rest of your week!
That means so much; thank you!!! I’m all about working smarter and not harder—especially when there are so many who need cards of encouragement.
