Happy Friday and welcome to the final Festive Friday challenge of 2025. I cannot believe that we have already reached this milestone. Where on earth did this year go?
I have a Christmas card created using my favorite Waffle Flower Open Book and the Open Book Poinsettia stencil. When I first saw the Open Book set from Waffle Flower I was amazed. It’s so simple, yet so beautiful. The addition of the holiday set made it even better.
Here’s a sneak peek:

And here’s the badge for our final challenge of 2025:

I began my card with a wonderful piece of old SU speciality DSP that I have been hoarding for years! I then stenciled the image from the Open Book Holiday set and die cut it with the matching dies.
The sentiment was heat set with gold embossing powder and I added gold embossing powder to the covers of the book to tie the two things together. I then popped up the book with foam tape.
Here’s my card:

INSPO list elements: Red, green, stripes, Christmas sentiment
As a reminder, our challenge only requires that you use 3 elements from our INSPO list to play along! We hope you will join us this week as we would love to see what YOU create using our INSPO list.
As always, our design team have some fabulous inspiration for you:
I’ll be back tomorrow with another card. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
