Christmas Parade of Cards - Part Two: North Pole Delivery

Welcome to today's post which is another series of Christmas cards that have banners for their focal points.  You can see my series of cards with banners here. 

These cards feature papers and ephemera from the North Pole Delivery Designer Paper which can be found on page 29 of the September to December 2025 Mini Catalogue.  

The North Pole Delivery Specialty Designer Series Paper is full of cheer and whimsy.  The patterned paper features images of dogs, bears, and more animals delivering holiday letters and packages.  These images are easy to fussy cut so dies really aren't necessary.  

The package includes twelve 12 x 12 sheets which includes  2 each of 5 double-sided designs and 1 each of 2 single sided pre-cut designs (not self-adhesive). This designer paper coordinates with the following colors: Basic Beige, Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Flirty Flamingo, Garden Green, Gray Granite, Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Very Vanilla

North Pole Delivery Strip Card Challenge AHSC #646

Welcome and thanks for dropping by.  I'm continuing my quest to complete 50 Christmas cards before the end of September, and can happily say the end is very close indeed. I began two weeks ago and have been using a mix of products from the Mini Catalogue - September to December 2025.  

So after making these many cards you could speculate I'd have a lot of bit's and pieces of cardstock and paper left over, and you'd be 100 percent correct. 

One of the papers that I used a lot was the North Pole Delivery 12 x 12 designer series paper and ephemera.  I thought this would be a perfect design mix to use for this week's sketch by Atlantic Hearts.    

Here's this week's sketch challenge from Atlantic Hearts #646: 

This card design utilizes strips of paper in a variety of sizes from 1/4", 1/2", 3/4" and 1" in width.  The paper strips can go in any direction as long as the  whole sheet is filled, right down to the most fiddle corners.  The strips are glued on and overlap the edges of the mat, and then are cut off as sections of the card are completed.  The strips can be laid down in any direction, but they must but up against one another and there can't be any gaps.  The end product usually looks like a quilt design.  

Here's My Card: 

Supplies: 

Stamps & Dies:

• Traditional Labels Die and Stamp Bundle  #165865

Cardstock and DSP:

• Garden Green mat 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" for front mat.  The decorative mat was cut from the center of this layer using the Colourful Contour dies.
• Petal Pink 4" x 5 1/4" mat for front layer and 2" x 3 3/8" mat for sentiment layer 
• Strips of Poppy Parade and Petal Pink for quilted pattern 1/2" and 3/4" bands
  
• North Pole Delivery  #165837 12 x 12 DSP cut into 1/2", 3/4" strips 

Ink and Blends: 

• Poppy Parade 

Accessories: 

• Delightful Decorative Dots #165915 

I hope you enjoyed today's stamping challenge card.  If you've never tried one of these cards before they are a lot of fun and a great way to use up those paper scraps that are always left over.  

HAPPY STAMPING!
