Create this cute Holiday Card Using the Jolly Delivery Stamps by Stampin’ Up!® This handmade card is the kind of project that instantly makes you smile. With its adorable wolf (who looks like a pup!) balancing a stack of gifts, it captures the playful magic of the season without any fuss. Whether you’re brand new to cardmaking or just looking for an easy holiday project, this design shows how simple supplies and a few coordinating colors can come together to make something truly heartwarming.
If you’ve ever wanted to make a handmade card that feels festive without being fussy, this one’s for you. The Jolly Delivery Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!® is packed with personality — from cheerful delivery animals to charming sentiments that make you think of happy mail and cozy holiday moments. I paired the playful pup (or wolf) image with subtle background texture using the Cloud Cover Designer Paper, which adds a soft, wintry feel without stealing the spotlight.
To keep the focus on the stamped image, I used a classic Christmas color combination of Shaded Spruce, Real Red, and Gray Granite. These shades work beautifully together — the deep green adds richness, the red brings that traditional holiday pop, and the warm gray grounds everything with a touch of elegance. If you love timeless Christmas colors with a modern twist, this combo is a winner!
A strip of our Shaded Spruce & Soft Sea Foam ribbon adds a little extra texture and ties everything together. (Literally!) I also used the 1-3/4″ Circle Punch to cut out the sentiment — such a simple way to give it a finished, professional look. And of course, I colored the image with Stampin’ Blends for that smooth, blended finish that makes the little dog (or wolf) come alive. It’s amazing how a few minutes of coloring can transform a stamped image into something that feels truly special.
What I love most about this card is how easy it is to adapt. Swap the pup/wolf for the bear or cat image from the same stamp set, and you’ve got an entirely new design with the same cheerful spirit. You could even switch up the colors to match your holiday décor or gift wrap theme. Imagine these cards tucked into packages, tied onto treats, or mailed to friends — it’s a surefire way to spread smiles.
