I’m half way through the Farmhouse Christmas projects from my retreat. It seems like so many – and I have a whole bunch of Santa’s Workshop projects to share too. Maybe I’ll have one evening just to sit down and share a whole bunch of these before my boys come home next week. Most of these cards in my opinion are fairly quick to put together. And I have to gather all of these cards that I’ve been making the last few months so I can send them out. Yes all these samples become my Christmas cards that get mailed out!
This one again features the Designer Series paper. I really love the patterns in all of this Festive Farmhouse pack. For the most part it really can be used for other things besides Christmas. The wood prints for example could be paired with anything. But I did stick with Christmas here. And I stamped the Merry Christmas image twice – once on Whisper White and cut it out with the banner framelit. And once on Cherry Cobbler and punched it out with the 2-1/4″ circle punch. Finished it with the little sprig punch again.
Supply List
- Farmhouse Christmas Bundle – Farmhouse Christmas stamp set + Farmhouse Framelits Dies
- Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper
- Big Shot Die Cutting Machine
- 2-1/4″ Circle Punch
- Mossy Meadow ink
- Sprig Punch
- Cherry Cobbler card stock
- Mossy Meadow card stock
- Whisper White card stock
- Stampin’ Dimensionals
When my card base is a darker color I’ll add a layer on the inside for wiriting. In this case it was Whisper White and I decorated with a liitle coordinating strip of the Designer Paper at the bottom. Other times I made add a stamp on the inside.
Happy Holidays!

I found these cute little metal buckets and decided to use them as one of the pillow gifts. They fit in nicely with the Farmhouse theme at my Stamp, Scrap & Create Retreat. There are so many things you could fill these buckets with. I decided on the Festive Farmhouse Cotton Twine.
I added the Striped Burlap ribbon around the bucket – the tear & tape is the perfect adhesive to use for this. the Sprig Punch is new in the Holiday catalog and its been really popular! So much so that it is was on back order for quite some time – the shipment came in, all the back orders were filled and then it sold out again and its back on back order. It’s going to be quite a wait though – the next shipment will arrive in February. I have mine here if you need to come punch some out. I used two sprigs and tied them to the handle with some of the Cotton Twine.
Supply List
- Sprig Punch
- Festive Farmhouse Cotton Twine
- 5/8″ Striped Burlap Ribbon
- Tear & Tape
- Mossy Meadow card stock
Another option to dress up the tins is to add a monogram. Very carefully stamp on the front with Versamark ink – I used the Brushwork Alphabet set. Then cover the ink with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with the Heat Tool.
These would be cute gifts filled with candy for the holidays. But I actually have mine on my craft table and filled with the twine.

I hope you had a great weekend. It has been cold and rainy here – pretty yucky really. But no snow or ice so far. Last year we had snow on this same weekend – and we don’t really get much snow – so that was unusual. Anyway on to our next Farmhouse Christmas Project. I have another card for you that was one of the 8 from my fall retreat. This one uses the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper and pairs it with the Merry Christmas to All stamp set. It was an idea I found online.
This one is easy – pick the patterned paper that you like – if you like both sides of a pattern this idea works well – you just cut off a strip and flip it over for the front of the card. Stamp the words that you want from the Merry Christmas to All stamp set and fussy cut around them. The mixed fonts is very popular right now. Then add a bow with the coordinating twine.
Supply List
- Merry Christmas to All stamp set
- Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper
- Festive Farmhouse Cotton Twine
- Whisper White Thick card stock
- Whisper White card stock
- Cherry Cobbler ink
- Paper Snips
- Mini Dimenstionals
- Glue dot
This would be a quick one to make a whole stack of. I hope you like it.
Right now we have a year end closeout sale going on. Many items from the Holiday Catalog will be retiring when it ends on January 2nd and some are even discounted right now. The paper and the twine I used are retiring.

One of my favorite things about the Stamp, Scrap & Create Retreat is to surprise everyone with little gifts throughout the weekend. For the Farmhouse theme there were tons of ideas online and in the stores. I even managed to find the little red truck with a tree in the back – these were ornaments that I decided to use to make a little decor piece. This idea is floating around online in a variety of places.
I actually used glue dots under the four tires of the truck to anchor in to the bottom of the jar. Then sprinkled in some “snow” that I found at the store. I decorated the lid with a circle of the Farmhouse Designer Series Paper and some of the striped burlap ribbon. I added a simple tag made from banners and tied them on with the Farmhouse Cotton Twine.
Supply List
- Farmhouse Christmas stamp set
- Festive Farmhouse Designer Series paper
- 5/8″ Striped Burlap Trim

Moving on to day 2 of my Farmhouse Christmas projects from the Fall Stamp, Scrap & Create Retreat. I have another card for you. It came from an idea from another demonstrator that is part of the Artisan Design team. The Stampin’ Up! Artisan design team always give me lots of inspiration. They are such a creative bunch and I’m excited to see the new team in 2019.
This card has the beautiful Galvanized Metal paper with the Tin Tile Dynamic Embossing Folder for a background – I just love the look of it. The cute little house from the Farmhouse Christmas stamp set is perfect for the sentiment ” from our home to yours”. The Cotton Twine is one of my favorites and the assortment has three colors – Mossy Meadow, Very Vanilla, and the Cherry Cobbler that I used here. We have had this twine in the past in some other colors. I was happy to see it back – it’s so soft!
Supply List
- Farmhouse Christmas stamp set
- Farmhouse Framelits dies
- Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper
- Whisper White Thick card stock
- Whisper White card stock

On my supply list I don’t usually include the basics like Snail Adhesive, Paper Snips, and the Stampin’ Trimmer – those are things used pretty much on every project. And I use my Simply Scored Tool for all my scoring. If you’d like me to list the basics every time let me know.
