Festive Inspiration with Papertrey Ink: October 2025 Release

Nov 24, 2025 | By: Lea Lawson

Share

The October release from Papertrey Ink is pure holiday magic, and I had the best time getting festive with these two cards! One leans classic with carol lyrics and glittery berries, while the other brings in a playful pop of pink and holly. I mixed textures, layered up the details, and let the season shine, because nothing says “happy holidays” like a desk full of sparkle and stamps.

If you’re in the mood to make something merry, I’ve linked the supplies below. Thank you so much for supporting my crafty adventures—it truly means the world! This first card features the new Silent Night hot foil plate, paired with my current favorite: the Into the Blooms: Bold Berries die set. The sentiment comes from the This is Big Sentiments: Silent Night stamp and die combo, and it adds just the right touch of heartfelt holiday magic.

FEATURED PRODUCTS - if you love my card & would like to purchase any of the products I've used, I would love for you to shop from my links! I earn a small commission at no cost to you, allowing me to contribute to our finances. I appreciate this gesture more than words can express!

Easy Step by Step instructions:

  • Cut & fold A2 card base, then cover with pink cardstock.
  • Cut A2 panel from white cardstock.
  • Foil the Silent Night hot foil plate in matte gold to the panel.
  • Trim to 4" x 5.25", then mount to the card front.
  • Diecut the Bold Berries layers pieces, then assemble the berries.
  • Splatter the berries and leaves with white, then set aside to dry.
  • Stamp & heat emboss the vase in light pink & iridescent gold, then diecut.
  • Heat emboss the sentiments in iridescent gold and white, then diecut.
  • Arrange the vase and berry elements to the front.
  • Mount the sentiments as shown with thin foam strips.
  • Frost the berries and leaves using a glue pen and glitter mix to finish.

I created this festive holiday card live in October, using the Timeless Ornaments and Holly Berries stencils from Papertrey Ink. It was such a joyful time of crafting and connecting! If you missed it, the replay is available so you can catch all the holiday fun.

Papertrey Ink October Release Live #2

I created this peaceful holiday card live this past Sunday, featuring the Serene Evergreens die set and the Reflections: John 16 stamp & die combo from Papertrey Ink. It was such a meaningful project to craft in real time, and I loved connecting with everyone during the process. If you missed it, the replay is available so you can catch all the details and see how it came together!

  • Diecut the Serene Evergreen trees from white and white glitter cardstock.
  • Ink blend the decorative tree in shades of green: Simply Chartreuse, Tropical Teal and Pinefeather.
  • Adhere slightly offset with the white glitter layer, then adhere to the card front.
  • Heat emboss the sentiment in Gilded Sparkle, then diecut.
