Cardmaking in 5 Easy Steps – December 22, 2025

Hi everyone! Today I’m whipping up a birthday card in 5 easy steps, and we’re getting a little “old meets new” action today. I’m mixing some older stash with my shiny new toys, plus layering a stenciled background over an embossed one—because why settle for one texture when you can have two? I’m obsessed with how it turned out!

I used a few goodies from the Altenew December 2025 Release, including this nifty little Petal Shaper tool that curls die-cut flowers so perfectly you’ll think they’re real. I also used the Arched Foliage 3D Embossing Folder, which is basically instant elegance in a folder.

Best part? This project is part of an Instagram Giveaway! 🥳 Run (don’t walk) over to my Instagram page to find the post, get the deets, and enter to win some crafty goodness. Enjoy the tutorial!
