🎄 Handmade Holiday Hop 2025! Z-Fold Card
Ten Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators and creators have teamed up this month to bring you a festive series of 20 handmade Christmas card tutorials! Each of us will be sharing two step-by-step cardmaking videos throughout October—giving you fresh ideas, techniques, and inspiration for your holiday crafting season.
Today I’m sharing a traditional Z-fold Christmas card featuring a layered tree decorative element and a sneak peek at a brand-new stamp and die set coming in November that you’re going to love! This classic fold is easy to create and adds the perfect touch of dimension and elegance to your handmade holiday cards.
