Handmade Christmas Card Tutorial: Christmas Friends Stamp Set

CHRISTMAS FRIENDS CARD SET

I had an absolute blast creating this Christmas card using the Christmas Friends Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up! The playful polar bear and charming moose from the set are simply adorable and perfect for holiday crafting. This tutorial highlights how I brought these festive characters to life with the help of Stampin’ Blends Markers and the stunning Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty paper for the background.

Playing with the Polar Bear & Moose
I used the Cherry Cobbler pattern from the Regal Distressed paper for the polar bear. For the moose, I wanted to create a cool wintery scene, and I colored the white patterned paper with Coastal Cabana Stampin’ Blends Markers to match.

About the Christmas Friends Bundle
The sweet polar bear, moose, and other winter-dressed wild animals make any holiday project extra special. The open line-art images are ideal for coloring, allowing endless possibilities when it comes to personalizing your cards. 

Free PDF Instructions
I’ve put together a step-by-step guide, including a complete supply list, so you can easily recreate this card at home. You can find everything you need in the INSTRUCTIONS section below, where I’ve included a free PDF to help you along the way.

Happy crafting, 

Tami

    Tami, these two cards are too cute. You are so creative. Thanks for sharing.

  2. I really wasn’t sure about this stamp set when I looked at samples in mini, however you’ve brought these two characters to life with your bold colouring, the background paper and fun focal points. Thanks for inspiring!
