Freddrick the Fox - Festive Friends Collection Card with step by step instructions and supplies list

 



Freddrick the Fox - Festive Friends Collection Card

Hi everyone!

I hope you're all having a wonderful day. Today, I’m excited to share my latest creation featuring Freddrick the Fox from our Festive Friends Collection! 🦊✨


For this card, I decided to go with a cozy, rustic vibe using one of my Festive Grunge Papers as the backing paper. The rich textures and muted tones in the paper really complement Freddrick’s warm, festive colors, making this little 6x6 square card feel extra special.

This card came together so easily with Freddrick’s adorable topper and a simple layout. I love how these designs can work for both quick makes and more detailed projects—it’s all up to your creativity!

Handmade Festive Friends Collection Fox Card Project

Follow these simple step-by-step instructions to create a charming Festive Friends Fox Christmas card:

Supplies Needed



Instructions


Step 1: Print and Prepare Your Elements Or cut your elements out of the book


  1. Download and print the Fox topper and Merry Christmas sentiment onto high-quality printing paper.
  2. Print your chosen backing paper for the card.
  3. Cut out the topper, sentiment, and a piece of the backing paper to fit your card blank.


Step 2: Prepare the Card Base

  • Use a Linen Cardblank as your base for a textured, professional look.
  • Fold over and firmly apply pressure over the fold with a bone folder


Step 3: Add the Backing Paper

  1. Apply adhesive to the back of your cut-out backing paper using a tape pen.
  2. Center and stick it onto the card blank. Smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles.


Step 4: Attach the Topper

  1. Add tape adhesive to the back of the Fox topper.
  2. Center it on the card, slightly raised or angled for added interest.


Step 5: Add the Sentiment

  • Secure the Merry Christmas sentiment below or next to the topper using the tape pen.


Step 6: Embellish the Card

  1. Place flat-backed gems in the corners of the card for a festive sparkle.
  2. Use tacky wet glue to secure the gems to the card and allow them to dry.


Optional:

I love using stickles to add some glitter to the topper to make elements sparkle. You can find a good selection of stickles on amazon to choose from - shop here

  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! I’ve had so many lovely comments, questions, and private messages about how I created the flowers — thank you so much 💙 It has got to the point where it’s just physically impossible to reply to everyone individually, so I thought the easiest (and most helpful!) way would be to put everything together here in a blog post for you.

Flowers have always been a huge part of my life. As a fully qualified florist, I spent many years surrounded by beautiful blooms every single day. Although I hung up the snips from day-to-day shop life quite a while ago, my love for flowers and plants has never gone away. I still enjoy dipping back into floristry now and again—whether that’s creating special gifts, working on events, or the occasional wedding. Alongside that, crafting has always been my other passion… so it probably comes as no surprise that the two have blended together over the years in the most wonderful way 💛 Creating flowers out of paper is something I’ve absolutely fallen in love with—and it’s been a passion of mine for over 20 years now.
