If you are looking for inspiration for Stampin Up 2024 Christmas Cards, you are going to love our 2024 Heart of Christmas Blog Hop! My Stampin’ Up! team ladies and I started this blog hop in 2017, so we have been going 8 years now. Each Monday between now and Christmas, you can expect to see a range of lovely Christmas cards using 2024 Stampin’ Up! Christmas stamp sets, dies, papers and embellishments. You will be directed to circle through the blogs of some of our creative Art with Heart team members and enjoy LOTS of inspiration. Look for this cute graphic on the posts.
Today I am featuring two cards I have made using the online exclusive Season of Green and Gold Suite (you can see all of the products I have used at the end of the post. This beautiful suite includes a rich colour palette of 3 different greens, with gold. There is a 12×12″ DSP pack, along with a coordinating vellum pack and bundle. The dies in the bundle cut out images from the DSP which I have used for my cards. My sentiments are from the new online exclusive Greetings of the Season stamp set.
Christmas Card 1
For my first Stampin’ Up! 2024 Christmas card, I have used the vellum in two ways. I attached a piece to some basic white cardstock for the background layer, and die cut another of the images. To attach the vellum, I use a sponge dauber to sponge a little Multipurpose glue on the reverse.
The base card for this one is Shaded Spruce, a deep blue toned green. I love how it looks with the gold. The adhesive berry embellishments are super cute too. The main label shape on this one was die cut using the Countryside Corners dies.
Christmas Card 2
For my second card I have kept it simple to be able to duplicate, an important consideration for Christmas cards if you are making a lot. My base card is Old Olive, and I have used the gingham pattern from the reverse of the Season of Green and Gold DSP.
The two bells are fussy cut from the DSP, and the foliage is die cut from the Golden Greenery vellum which has three different designs in the pack. The sentiment (from Greetings of the Season) and the cardstock mat are both Mossy Meadow.
Now it’s time to see what other members of the Art with Heart team have been making. We are going to hop over to South Australia next and visit our very creative friend Kathryn Manglesdorf.

Those cards are fabulous and very elegant Claire!
I love your cards Claire, the shaded spruce and leaves with the gold is perfect and I just love that sentiment. The second card I love the gingham DSP and those vellum sprigs are great. It is a great design and looks great even though simple as you say so to replicate to make many for a big stash for Christmas which is great.
Lovely cards Claire!
Two gorgeous cards, Claire! I too love how Shaded Spruce looks with the gold on your first card, but your second card is my fave with its elegant simplicity!
Wonderful cards Claire. Both individual and both festive for Christmas. I love your choice of backgrounds and your layering. Your cards are great for batch making – something I need to design too. Thanks Claire for your inspiration. xxx
Two beautiful designs, Claire. I love how you used the vellum on your first card, and really like the crisp, clean look of your second card. These gorgeous products provide infinite opportunities to make beautiful creations, don’t they?
Beautiful cards Claire, this Green and Gold Designer Series Paper makes Christmas cards oh so lovely and easy.
Beautiful cards with these gorgeous papers, Claire. I love the gold foil trims on your first card and the lovely vellum background that gives a slightly softer look. The plaid border on the second card really makes it pop.
