Neutral Noel House


The Neutral Noel suite of products is a gorgeous mega-suite of elegant products that work well for holiday cards and all occasion cards as well. The Specialty Designer Series Paper has gold in each one--some are more holiday inspired and some can be used any time. I have really enjoyed working with all the pieces of this suite. I didn't use the Softly Woven Embossing Folder on my card, but it might be my favorite part of this suite. 

If you get lost reading this, please watch my YouTube video (of my Facebook Live) below where I made this card. Then come back every Monday at 1 pm PST on Facebook and watch me make a new card.




Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:

  1. Basic Beige cardstock--card base is 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at 4 1/4". Second piece cut 5/8" by 4 1/4"
  2. Basic White cardstock--4" by 10 1/2" scored at 5 1/4"
  3. Pecan Pie cardstock--die cut the medium sized house
  4. Mossy Meadow cardstock--die cut the large oval bough wreath
  5. Neutral Noel Specialty DSP--bigger piece is 3" by 5 1/2", smaller one is 1" by 5 1/2"
  6. Gold Foil--1 1/2" by 1 1/4"
  7. Bundles--Noel Tidings and Welcome Noel
  8. Ink—Crumb Cake and Mossy Meadow
  9. Neutral Jute Combo Pack--9" of the Early Espresso one
  10. Gold Adhesive-Backed Dots
  11. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue and Seal+), Paper Trimmer, Stamp, Cut and Emboss Machine, Take Your Pick Tool,  Piercing Mat or Glass Mat Studio, Regular Dimensionals, Blending Brush
Lay the 2 DSP pieces on the front of the Basic Beige card base as below then die cut with the oval as below. I recommend NOT gluing the DSP down first, as then you can use both oval pieces on another card layer. I used a small piece of double sided tape to hold the DSP in place while die cutting. Once die cut, adhere the DSP to the card front.



Now let's do the stamping. Fold the Basic White card in half on the score line. For the inside stamp the sentiment and the small tree in Mossy Meadow. Stamp the tree again stamped off.

 Using the Blending Brush, apply Crumb Cake ink to the bottom 1/3-1/2 of the card front. Check the placement through the hole on the front to see if you need to add more Crumb Cake. Stamp 2 of the big trees and 2 of the smaller ones in Mossy Meadow ink. If you'd like, stamp another 1-2 small trees after stamping off the ink first. Now attach the Basic White piece to the inside back of the Basic Beige card base.


Attach the Gold Foil to the back of the house making sure the windows are all showing the gold. Now attach that to the Basic White piece (with the card closed) using Dimensionals. 

Take the Mossy Meadow pine bough wreath and cut it up into 4 pieces. Attach to the front of the card under the oval opening. 


Tie a bow with the Early Espresso jute twine, fraying the ends. Attach with a Mini Glue dot. Scatter 3 of the Gold Adhesive-Backed Dots on the front. Here's the same card, just made with the 3" DSP (and not adding the 1" DSP).

  3rd Charming Duck Pond Post This card is a modified gate-fold card as the left front is just 1 1/4". I love how you can use most of the page of the 6" by 6" piece of DSP scenery to make this card. Sometimes I use the back side for the little pieces, but this time I used a separate piece of DSP with just the rushes on it. Enjoy!

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

Floating Christmas Ornament Card This card uses a variety of products from the 2026 Sept-Dec Catalog to create an ornament that appears to float above the card. It floats as it is strips of DSP on a Window Sheet that is elevated off the card using Dimensionals. I love this illusion and have made many cards like this in the past and they always make me smile. I used Designer Series Paper from the Timeless Christmas Suite as well as 2 different stamp sets from this catalog.  And do you see that subtle texture behind the ornament? That is the Softly Woven Embossing Folder that I just love.  Let's make this card. Gather your supplies: Thick Basic White cardstock--card base is 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at 4 1/4" Timeless Christmas DSP--various pieces 1/2" by 4", with one for the inside Timeless Metallic Specialty Paper--2 pieces of red and one of green cut 1/2" by 4". Cut a 3/4" by 1/2" piece of green for the top of the ornamen...
