If you love elegant, timeless Christmas cards, you’ll love these 3 cards using the Ornamental Christmas Bundle from Stampin’ Up!®. This bundle makes it easy to create handmade Christmas cards that look polished, coordinated, and oh-so-festive. Whether you’re just getting started with stamping or you’ve been crafting for years, you’ll love how effortlessly these stamps and dies come together to create a trio of projects that go from simple to stunning.
The Ornamental Christmas Bundle includes both the stamp set and coordinating dies—featuring classic Christmas trees, stars, and ornaments—so you can create projects that truly shine. Pair it with beautiful blues like Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight, and shimmering Silver accents, and you’ve got a color palette that’s as serene as a winter’s night. Add a touch of ribbon and a few rhinestones, and you’re ready to spread some handmade holiday cheer.
One of my favorite ways to show how versatile a stamp set can be is through my Step It Up Stamping series. Each project builds on the one before it, making it easy to find the perfect design for your time, tools, and comfort level.
Busy Bee
If you’re short on time or new to stamping, start here. The Busy Bee card focuses on simple stamping—just ink, paper, and stamps! Using Night of Navy ink, stamp two beautiful trees and a sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. Layer it onto a Night of Navy card base and add a strip of Misty Moonlight ribbon for a hint of texture. Quick, easy, and done in minutes.
Worker Bee
Ready to add a bit more wow? The Worker Bee card steps things up with texture and dimension. Start by embossing the card front using the Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder. Punch a 2-3/8” circle for your sentiment and gently sponge it with Misty Moonlight ink to create a soft glow. Add a die-cut tree and layer everything with Silver-Edged Ribbon for a beautiful winter shimmer. It’s still quick—but now you’ve got that little extra something that makes the card special.

Queen Bee
When you want to go all out, this is your moment to shine! The Queen Bee version brings together everything you love about the bundle—dimension, texture, and sparkle. Heat emboss the sentiment using VersaMark Ink and Silver Embossing Powder for a raised metallic finish. Add multiple die-cut trees, small Silver Foil stars, and a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to complete the look. The result? A show-stopping handmade Christmas card that’s as elegant as it is heartfelt.
