Hello friends! It's time for the final challenge of the year over at the Paper Players. The lovely Jaydee is hosting our monthly theme challenge, and she has chosen a timely one.
I've created a gift envelope for Christmas giving but as you'll see from the team, it could be for any occasion.
For this card and gift envelope set I used the Simon Says Stamp November 2025 card kit. The envelope was created using the Pine and Post Gift card envelope set along with some stickers from the Tim Holtz-Idea-ology Christmas sticker book and the papers on both the card and the envelope are from his 2025 Christmas Backdrops papers.
The die that cuts the envelope also provides scoring, which made it easy to adhere together, then the front can be decorated however one wants. I used the accompanying dies that cut the "ribbon and bow", the greens and berries, the tag and the postage stamp exterior and interior. I use the tiny interior rectangle die to cut the snowman from the sticker book, then adhered it to the postage die cut from red cardstock. The tag was cut from ivory cardstock then I adhered one the of the gift tag stickers on it. So cute!
The card used the SSS Bright Christmas stamp with the darling reindeer and the sentiments. I had some fun by adding a red nose and a bow to the deer. The distressed papers lent themselves well to the rustic stamp and I ended up making the same style cards and gift envelopes for all three of my grandchildren. The other two cards are below (I don't have a photo of the other two envelopes but they're nearly identical to the one above).
I hope between all your holiday activities that you'll find some time to join us for our last challenge of the year, which will remain open until Friday, December 12th at 3pm EST. I encourage you to visit the challenge blog where my wonderful teammates have created some beautiful inspiration for you!
The PP team will be back on January 11th next year. May peace, joy and happiness fill your days this holiday season!
