Sweet November Stamps ~ Hug in a Mug

Today I’m sharing a warm and cozy card featuring the brand new “Hug in a Mug” clear stamp set from Sweet November Stamps. If you love cute critters, sweet treats, and all things warm and comforting, this little scene is sure to make you smile!

I couldn’t resist using all the charming elements in this set—the steaming mug topped with whipped cream, the adorable mice, and of course the cheerful little gingerbread cookie. Everything is colored up with Copic Markers to bring out those soft mousey textures and sugary holiday vibes.

To set the scene, I paired the images with a piece of fun red polka-dot patterned paper to serve as the wallpaper for the room. A simple wood-tone floor grounds the scene and gives these sweet friends the perfect spot to enjoy their mug of holiday cheer. I finished things off with the included sentiment, “Sending a big hug in a mug!”, which fits this set perfectly.

This set is absolutely delightful and makes it so easy to create warm, whimsical holiday cards. I can’t wait to make more with it!

Thanks for stopping by today—hope your day is filled with cozy moments and a few sweet treats too!

Sweet November Stamps ~ A Masculine Holiday Trio

Today I’m sharing a festive and fun holiday card featuring the brand-new “Nutcracker Trio” clear stamp set from Sweet November Stamps! This whimsical set includes three charming nutcracker characters, and I couldn’t resist showcasing all three of them together on one cheerful card.

I stamped and colored each nutcracker using my Copic Markers, giving each one their own personality with bright pops of colour and classic toy-soldier details. To keep the focus on the trio, I framed them in a crisp stitched-edge rectangle, then paired the panel with some vibrant patterned papers full of ornaments and holiday icons. The playful prints bring in just the right amount of festive flair!

This design makes a fantastic masculine holiday card—bold colours, clean lines, and the timeless nutcracker theme come together perfectly for a card that’s sure to bring a smile.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope this little trio inspires your next round of holiday crafting.

Sweet November Stamps ~ Holiday Travels

Today I’m excited to share a card featuring one of the sweetest scenes from the newest Joyful Greetings release over at Sweet November Stamps—the Holiday Travels clear stamp set! This charming little family is all packed into their festive red car and cruising through a snowy winter landscape, and I had so much fun bringing the whole moment to life.

To create my scene, I stamped the adorable family inside their car, then extended the background with snow-covered hills and evergreen trees to give the illusion of a long, wintry drive toward holiday fun. Those beautiful Wintry trees are from the "Horizon Lines: Winter Wonderland" stamp set. Everything is colored with Copic Markers, allowing me to build soft winter shadows, warm sunrise tones in the sky, and bright cheerful details inside the car. I especially love how expressive each family member is—such a delightful image to work with!

The Joyful Greetings release is live and ready to shop right now in the SNS store, including this must-have Holiday Travels set. If you're looking to make heartwarming holiday cards full of personality, this collection is packed with inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy holiday crafting! 🎄🚗✨

Craft Roulette & SNS ~ Off Duty Santa

Today I’m sharing my card for Craft Roulette episode #294, and this week’s parameters were such a fun holiday challenge! I paired the prompts with the adorable new “Off Duty Santa and Reindeer” clear stamp set from Sweet November Stamps, and I just love how this cheerful scene came together.

This Week’s Parameters

• Project: A2 - I created an A2 sized card.

• Colors: Holiday - Christmas card

• Element: From the Mountains - I have "sideways sheep" on the mountain patterned paper

• Random: Fancy Paper - I used lots of cute Doodlebug Designs paper

   

For my “Fancy Paper” element, I pulled out a mix of bright and playful patterned papers from Doodlebug Designs —snowmen, trees, stripes, and festive motifs—to build a colorful mountain-inspired background. All those cool-toned snowy prints fit the From the Mountains requirement perfectly while giving Santa a whimsical setting for his downtime.

I colored up this off-duty Santa with Copic Markers, giving him a cozy winter sweater (complete with tiny reindeer!). To bring the theme together, I added a cute shopping list notepad accent—because even Santa needs to stay organized for the holiday rush!

This cheerful A2 card hit all the parameters and let me spotlight this brand-new and super charming Sweet November Stamps set. If you haven’t checked out “Off Duty Santa and Reindeer” yet, it’s part of the newest release and absolutely full of personality!

Thanks for stopping by for another week of Craft Roulette fun!
