How to Make These Fun Christmas Decorations – Festive Friends – Jolly Delivery – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK
These adorable little Christmas decorations are sure to bring some festive cheer to your table or tree! They feature Father Christmas and an Elf from the Festive Friends stamp and die set, and they’re perfect for adding a personal, handmade touch to your Christmas décor.

I coloured both characters using Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers, matching the colours to the patterned paper I used for the box-style envelopes. The rich reds and greens really make these designs pop and give that traditional Christmas feel we all love.
The little envelope that Father Christmas and the Elf are peeking out of was created using the Jolly Delivery die set. It’s actually a small box-style envelope—such a clever design that can hold a little treat inside. I first die-cut the envelope base from Shaded Spruce cardstock for the green one and Real Red cardstock for the red one.

Next, I die cut the same shapes again using the Christmas Tags and More Designer Series Paper. I then used scissors to cut out each patterned section and matted them neatly onto the cardstock bases. This creates a lovely layered effect and ties in perfectly with the colouring on the stamped images.
Multiple Uses
Behind each character, I tucked a few gold coins—adding a fun, sweet surprise! I used some ribbon from my stash to make these into hanging decorations. Alternatively, these little decorations would also make wonderful place name markers for your Christmas table. Add a name tag and a treat inside, and your guests will have a delightful keepsake to take home with them.
These projects are quick, festive, and a lovely way to make your Christmas celebration extra special. Whether you hang them on the tree or use them as table décor, they’re sure to bring smiles all around!
