Neutral Noel Suite Christmas Card

Hi friends!

For my final Neutral Noel Suite card from this week’s Online Class to Go, I wanted to use the pine elements in a completely different way.

Rather than creating another landscape across the full card, I’ve used the largepine wreath, then built a little Christmas scene inside it.

This card has lots of layers and texture, but the actual colour palette is relatively simple – Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze, white and natural tones, with a few metallic details to finish it off.

The wreath is die-cut and arranged around an embossed die cut panel.

Inside the wreath, I added two pine trees and the little Christmas house. This time I used a Cajun Craze for the house, with Daffodil Delight showing through the windows. That tiny bit of yellow completely changes the feel of it – suddenly it looks like a warm, inviting house on a cold Christmas evening. Ok, ok, I know it’s more likely to be a hot Christmas evening here in Australia, but I love the wintery scenes!

Of course, the little deer had to make another appearance too!

Because there is already plenty happening in the centre of the card, I kept the rest relatively simple.

The embossed panel behind the scene adds additional texture, while the patterned paper peeking out from behind the wreath adds a subtle metallic element.

The large sentiment stretches across the bottom of the wreath. I stamped it in Cajun Craze to coordinate with the house and card base and added a couple of small embellishments to either end.

A few more metallic embellishments scattered around the background finish the design.

One of  my favourite thing about creating several cards with the same suite is seeing how different they can look.

Across these three Neutral Noel Suite Christmas cards, we’ve gone from a wide snowy village, to a rustic cabin in the woods, and finally to this  pine wreath frame.

The same basic Christmas elements appear throughout – houses, trees, deer and greenery – but changing the layout and the way those elements are layered gives each project its own look.

This is the final project from this week’s Online Class to Go (19 – 24 October 2026).

Neutral Noel Suite

Hi friends!

For the second of this week’s Neutral Noel Suite projects, I’ve created a warm little Christmas cabin tucked amongst the pine trees.

While the first card had a lighter snowy-village feel, this one uses much deeper neutral colours to create a completely different look from the same suite.

The focal point is the little house, which I’ve layered over a snowy foreground with tall pine trees behind it. I stamped additional trees directly onto the Pecan Pie background before adding the die-cut trees in front. That simple bit of layering creates much more depth than you might expect – it looks as though the forest continues well beyond the house.I love mixing stamped and die-cut elements when creating scenes like this.

The darker stamped trees sit quietly in the background, while the green trees in the foreground are much more prominent. The little house then overlaps those layers to create the main focal point.

And naturally, a woodland Christmas scene needed a deer!The small deer beside the house is only a tiny part of the finished design, but I think it adds a lot to the scene.

Although the colours on this card are predominantly earthy and neutral, I wanted to bring in some warmth and Christmas sparkle.The metallic border around the main panel does just that. I also added a small gold foil star to the house and added a few coordinating embellishments across the sky.

The “from our home to yours” sentiment was perfect for this card and ties in beautifully with the little Christmas house.  A strip of textured ribbon behind the sentiment provides one final detail without taking attention away from the scene.  The result is a rustic handmade Christmas card that feels quite different from the usual bright red-and-green Christmas designs.

This is the second of my three Neutral Noel Suite projects for this week’s Online Class to Go (19 – 24 October 2026) Check out the replay if you’d like to see how I built the different layers to create the forest scene.

Neutral Noel Christmas Card

Hi friends!

There’s something about a little snowy Christmas village that instantly feels peaceful and Christmassy, (even in Australia where Christmas is in Summer),  and for this card I’ve used the Stampin’ Up! Neutral Noel Suite to create a simple winter scene.

This is the first of three Neutral Noel projects from this week’s Online Class to Go, and I wanted to show just how much you can do with the different elements in the suite without needing to make an overly complicated card.

The main panel starts with a snowy white landscape, with a row of houses and pine trees stretching across the background. I used Crumb Cake for the houses and Mossy Meadow for the trees, then added two little deer walking across the snow in the foreground.

I particularly like the amount of open white space in this design. It gives the card a calm, uncluttered feel and allows the little village scene to be the focus.

Rather than using lots of traditional bright Christmas colours, I kept most of the card to neutral tones, with just a touch of red for the sentiment.

The patterned paper surrounding the scene adds another layer of pine trees and some subtle gold detail. It frames the central panel beautifully without overpowering the central panel.

A few sparkly embellishments scattered around the scene finish everything off and add a little Christmas shine.

One of the things I like about the Neutral Noel Suite is the ability to build your own Christmas scenes. The houses, trees and deer can be arranged differently each time, so you don’t have to create exactly the same scene on every card.

You could easily make this design simpler for producing Christmas cards in larger numbers, or add more houses, trees and other details if you enjoy creating more elaborate scenes.

This card is part of this week’s Online Class to Go (19 – 24 October 2026).
