Christmas Inspiration from the November 2025 Stray Ducklings!

 Hi all!

Welcome to the Stray Ducklings Blog waddle for November.  This month we are going to inspire you with Christmas cards!  

Here is my card, which we made in my October class.  I was inspired from a card layout from Dawn Olchefske. I cut a 3 x 4 piece of designer series paper, then cut it diagonally. It's a different and fun way of using DSP on your card!

The stamp set is "A Child is Born", and I used gold embossing powder to create the image.  I then used branching out dies to cut it out and I centered it on gold foil paper.  The DSP is Season of Elegance and I used Basic Beige as my card base.  

The inside sentiment was stamped in Basic Beige and Pecan Pie.  

Here is a free PDF with all the measurements and supplies!  

I hope I inspired you to make many, beautiful Christmas cards to send to friends and family!

Blessings,  Sheryl
