Monogram Notebook & Pen Set
This might be my favorite kind of gift — useful and beautiful. I dressed up a simple notebook with Designer Series Paper, a bold monogram, and coordinating embellishments, then finished it off with a matching pen tied on with ribbon. It’s personal, polished, and perfect for teachers, friends, or stocking stuffers. And yes… it looks way more complicated than it actually is 😉
Quick Christmas Gift Card Holder
Who says a gift card can’t be the perfect gift? This Merry Christmas gift card holder is full of classic holiday florals and rich seasonal colors. The layered circle, delicate greenery, and pop of sparkle give it a beautiful handmade feel without being fussy. This is a wonderful option for neighbors, coworkers, or anyone who appreciates something heartfelt and handmade.
Sweet Treat Holder with a Festive Pup
This one is pure holiday happiness wrapped in Designer Series Paper. I created a flat treat holder that’s perfect for slipping in Ghirardelli Chocolate Bars.
The playful puppy focal point paired with a bold red bow makes it feel instantly joyful — like happy mail delivered straight from Santa’s workshop. Simple layers, strong focal point, and lots of charm.

DIY Gift Bags with Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper
Last week’s Facebook Live felt a bit like stepping into Santa’s workshop, only with prettier paper and far less noise! I shared two easy, charming DIY gift bags that you can create with your favorite Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper. These little packages are perfect for holiday gifting and come together faster than a peppermint stick melts in hot cocoa.
Whether you need a petite bag for a sweet treat (I used tea bags) or a tall pouch for a cozy drink mix, these projects make gifting feel extra thoughtful. The Designer Series Paper really shines here, turning simple measurements into something festive and polished.

The Small Gift Bag
Perfect for:
• Tea bags
• Chocolate squares
• Sugar packets
• Small favors or stocking stuffers
Paper Needed:
Four pieces measuring 4 x 6
Scoring:
• Score each piece 1/2 inch on both short sides
• Score 3 inches on the long side
Once you fold and assemble the panels, the paper forms an adorable, sturdy little bag. Add your ribbon, tags, or embellishments, and it’s ready to gift. These are delightful for holiday place settings or quick neighbor treats.
The Large Hot Chocolate Pouch
Perfect for:
• A packet of hot cocoa
• Gourmet drink mixes
• Flat treats or small gifts
Paper Needed:
One piece measuring 4 1/2 x 12
Scoring:
• Score 1/2 inch on each short side
• Score the long side at 6 inches
This creates a tall, sleek pouch that looks incredibly polished with a bit of ribbon at the top. I used coordinating Designer Series Paper and embellishments to tie everything together, and it made the project feel ready for a holiday market booth.
