What I love about these handmade holiday cards is that you can make both Thanksgiving and Christmas cards in one sitting. Plus, this is a fun fold AND a one-sheet wonder. Goodness–lots of things to love about these handmade cards.
I want you to focus on the LAYOUT of today’s card more than the images I used because this card is just begging for so many stamp sets to be stamped on the front – the possibilities are endless with this design!

Handmade Holiday Cards | Video Tutorial
While it’s true that I am making these 2 as handmade holiday cards I want you to envision also using this tutorial year-round! The Stampin’ Up! Very Best Occasions stamp set is full of greetings to fit Birthdays, Get Well, Thank You, and more! It’s a must-have-stamp set for your craft room that you’ll use for many years to come.

Ready to Create your One Sheet Wonder Cards?
It’s true, I created holiday cards today but check out that space! You must have tons of stamps that would fit in that space perfectly! And since these cards use only 3 sheets of cardstock in total, you can make lots of them at one time and stamp images as you go.

I had so much fun creating these handmade holiday cards. One of my favorite things is to create a card and find a way to use every last bit of cardstock – no waste. I loved making this version of a fun fold and I hope you will give it a try.
Thanks for joining me today! Make it an awesome day!

Connie, these are beautiful cards. Thanks for the tutorial. I can’t wait to make some of these cards. Enjoy your day!
Oh my goodness, Connie, this super fun fold is just about one of the most fabulous I’ve seen in a while, thank you so much for the video, I love being able to follow you as you create your projects.
One of the great things about this cards is that you can stamp just about anything on the main panel, so it’s a great design for any occasion through the year.
Thank you again.
Please, stay healthy and safe.

So very creative. So very beautiful. Thank you.
I’ve been following you forever simply because you always have the best card tutorials! I already finished making my holiday cards but I’m adding these to my stash! Thanks for always making me a better crafter.
This is the best of fun fold cards! I have already made 2 to thank my pastors (October is Pastor Appreciation month.) and I have started 2 birthday cards for the end of the month using an older bundle from Stampin’ Up that included a punch for an apple or pumpkin to handle the difference in the ages of the recipients.
Can my Christmas card designs be far behind?!
You deserve a “thank you” card too.
Thank you so much for always giving me simple ideas. AND directions that I can follow. I am not an artist and YOU do beautiful cards that I can make also.
