Dear Santa Postage Style with Amy

Hello, it’s Amy @craftee1.  Today’s card was inspired by this week’s sketch:

Merry Mail coming at you via the gorgeous Spellbinders Dear Santa 2026 Collection.

My card duo features:

✨ Dear Santa Postage Stamp | Washi Tape
✨ Dear Santa 12×12 | Paper Pack
✨ Dear Santa Festive Floral Mix | Dies

I also squeezed in the sentiment from the previously released:

✨ Christmas Cracker Etched Dies by Yana Smakula

Let’s chat about the new Dear Santa Collection → SO CUTE. Good grief, the possibilities are endless!

But I need to specifically call out the Dear Santa Postage Stamp Washi Tape because GUYS…do you know one of my biggest pet peeves? Washi tape that sticks to itself and refuses to come off the roll properly.

What’s the point of finding cute washi when you have to fight with the stuff and end up completely frustrated?

This washi is GOOD. It comes off the roll like a breeze but sticks beautifully to the cardstock. No wrestling required.

I mixed in ColorWheel Blush + Gold cardstock for a little extra holiday sparkle.

One card is A2 and the other is 3.5 x 5.5 and BOTH are postal friendly.

I can’t wait to see how you’re inspired!

Thanks for stopping by!
