Support Children’s Literacy with Christmas Crafts

The holiday season is upon us, a time to craft heartfelt Christmas cards, gift tags, scrapbook pages, and so much more. But it’s also a season of giving, and each year, Stampin’ Up! embraces that spirit by offering a special Designer Series Paper set as part of the Stampin’ Up! Making A Difference program. Proceeds from this collection go toward supporting remarkable causes. This year, we are proud to announce that our Product Giveback will focus on children’s literacy. For every purchase of the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! will donate $3 to organizations devoted to nurturing the future of children worldwide. Together, we can spread joy and make a lasting impact this holiday season.

The charming Sentimental Christmas 12″ Designer Series Paper is brimming with nostalgia with classic holiday images—holly and berries, glowing candles, delicate snowflakes, candy canes, Christmas trees, and more! You can fussy cut individual elements for perfect little accents or easily transform the lantern and candy cane designs into six ready-to-use card fronts. Each sheet is hand-drawn with colored pencils, creating one-of-a-kind artwork that brings a heartfelt, handmade touch to your holiday crafting.

* Acid free * Lignin free

Product colors: Basic Beige, Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Garden Green, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Poppy Parade, Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce

Below are a few cards and a scrapbook page I created using the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper. While I added different shape dies and sentiments, the true star of these projects is the beautiful paper itself. The possibilities are endless with this gorgeous paper! Just imagine the beautiful Christmas ornaments you could create! Don’t miss out—order your set today and start crafting with this stunning collection!

For these projects, I paired the Peaceful Season Bundle and the Merriest Trees Stamp Set to add sentiments and banners that perfectly complement the festive designs of the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper.
