Handmade Simple Christmas By The Water Card


Supplies list for the card:


I used the topper and sentiment from the kit this was cut out twice to create the layers



  • The topper sheet was printed onto 300gsm card  The stronger card helps keeps the frame layer from rippling /collapsing.


  • Beautifully textured Pack of 50 5x5 hammered 300gsm super strong card blank - https://amzn.to/3C7RISA nice and strong so it stands up with larger toppers on it.


I am really loving this set... i think it is great value for money





  • The blue die cuts are from this set - Spellbinders S5-161 Nestabilities Radiant Rectangles Etched/Wafer Thin Dies (currently sold out)



  • Foam Pad tape on a roll is from doCrafts - https://amzn.to/3Udjx1R ( i used this for the sentiment and the frame layer)


  • I used the stickles as an adhesive for the faux snow if you don't have stickles i really recommend the book binding glue with the snow set off amazon here: https://amzn.to/48uNhNR i love this glue i have used it for over 10 years!!


I hope this design inspires you for your holiday crafting! Let me know what you think, and happy crafting!

  Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! April 28, 2026 Pretty Carnations Card So Many Questions… Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! 💙🍃 I recently shared a card over on Facebook, and I honestly wasn’t expecting the response it received!
