Christmas crafting is officially underway! Today I’m sharing three festive cards featuring products from the Scrappy Boy Stamps October 2026 release!
From whimsical Christmas characters and high-kicking dancers to colorful mouse-inspired shaker bulbs, each project brings a little something different to the holiday crafting table!
🎅 Project 1: Believe in Christmas Magic!
My first card features the adorable Son of a Nutcracker Stamp Set!
I colored these fun characters with Copic markers and arranged them around a layered scalloped sentiment circle. A red card base, silver glitter cardstock, and tiny sparkling stars bring everything together.

🎄 Project 3: Mouse-Inspired Christmas Shaker Bulbs!
Sometimes Christmas cards just need a little extra sparkle!
For my third project, I used the Mouse Shaker Bulb Dies to create three colorful Christmas lights, including a fun shaker filled with gold sequins!
I created a soft, colorful airbrushed background, added silver glitter cardstock for the bulb outlines, and finished everything with white gel pen highlights and playful hand-drawn light cords.
Copic Marker Color
This project primarily features die-cut cardstock rather than Copic-colored images. If you’d like to recreate the look using markers, try:
- Red: R24, R27, R29
- Green: G03, G05, G07
- Yellow: Y06, Y08, Y17
- Gray Shading: C1, C3

✂️ A Few Favorite Finishing Touches
Across these three projects, I had fun mixing some of my favorite cardmaking techniques:
- Copic marker coloring and blending
- Layered cardstock and patterned papers
- Silver glitter accents from embossed silver glitter cardstock from my stash.
- Airbrushed backgrounds
- White gel pen highlights
- Shaker elements and dimensional die cuts
- All put together with Taperunner.com dry adhesive
Each little detail adds personality and makes handmade Christmas cards extra special!

Three different designs, three different looks, and lots of Christmas inspiration!
