Hello friends. Today is the first week of my Art with Heart Team Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2025. This is something myself and my team members have been doing since 2017. It’s a week by week Christmas themed blog hop in the lead up to Christmas. We always get really great feedback from customers and our team get very excited when we start planning it each year. Big shout out to our team member Sharon Davern who is coordinating the blog hop again this year.

One of the things I love playing with is Designer Series paper, and today’s card really makes use of new Christmas papers. I have a paper share of Christmas papers from the September to December Mini Catalogue and September Online Exclusives which closes at midnight tomorrow night is you are interested in getting some new Christmas papers at a fraction of the cost for all of them.
Here’s a look at today’s Christmas card. I LOVE Christmas villages and these cute little die cut villages are included in the two 12×12″ die cut sheets in the North Pole Delivery DSP in the September Mini Catalogue.

Stampin’ Up! Products I have used on my Christmas Village Card
I have used Real Red as my base card, and the largest decorative shape which is from the Branching Out bundle. This is in the September to December Mini Catalogue and will be a great staple die set to add to your collection.
The second layer of Crumb Cake DSP is from a gorgeous new DSP in the mini catalogue called Peaceful Garden.
North Pole Delivery DSP from the mini catalogue provides both the die cuts (love the little post box!) and the background DSP behind the die cuts.


The die cut Christmas trees on either side of the village buildings are from Scenic Adventure dies (currently available as an online exclusive).
My sentiments are from the Greetings for You Mix and Match Ephemera Pack in the mini catalogue. I love these cardstock weight adhesive sentiments!
Finally I have embellished the card with some retired twisted gold thread and some of the Loose Gold Sequins (available now in my store).

What an adorable little village scene, Claire. I love the pop of the red letterbox and the way you’ve integrated the Scenic Adventure die cut trees with the North Pole Delivery DSP.
Such a sweet card Claire, great use of the die cut houses.
Claire I love the Christmas scene you have created using the different products. I’ve been thinking I need to get that die set just for those larger dies!
Your Christmas village is super cute, Claire. I love all the details you have added. Those Mix & Match greetings are fabulous.
This is a great card! I love all these layers. Love the branching out dies layers and the Scenic Adventure die trees. It is a perfect sentiment too! Love this card!
What an adorable Christmas scene you have created and I love the addition of the trees!
