| Three Times the Festive Fun: Tim Holtz Colorize Harvey Trio Christmas Cards |
Dear Bloggers,
![]() |
| One of my Single Wreath Harvey Christmas cards, created from rescued die-cut pieces and decorated with layered bows, imitation snow and treasures from my craft stash. |
Now that I have started slowly working on my Christmas cards for 2026, I came across the partly finished remains of those cards. I pulled everything apart, keeping the pieces I still liked and tossing the rest into the bin.
Then I thought, “Honestly, I have already made sooooo many Harveys. I am just going to throw all of these away!”
Of course, by the next day I had changed my mind. I rescued various pieces from the bin and began turning them into completely new Christmas cards.
For this first series, I placed a single Harvey in front of a beautiful wreath die from Impression Obsession. I love how the detailed little soldier looks framed by the foliage, flowers and festive embellishments.
I gathered supplies from all over my craft room to decorate the cards, including layered bows, bells, Christmas charms, black pearls, flowers with candy-like centres, assorted rhinestones, white paint, imitation snow, patterned papers from my stash and plenty of gold cardstock.
Each card is slightly different, but together they form a wonderfully festive series of Single Wreath Harveys. They are detailed, dimensional and perhaps just a little bit over the top—which is exactly how I like my Christmas cards!
This is Part 1...please see the following post, Part 2
These cards are only one part of my latest Harvey collection. Be sure to look for the coordinating Harvey Trio cards featuring three little soldiers together.

| Six playful handmade cards featuring the large goose from the Concord & 9th Silly Goose stamp set and dies, with sparkly boots, party hats and festive details. |
Here are six more big geese created with the Concord & 9th Silly Goose clear photopolymer stamp set and coordinating dies.
Some of these big characters are proudly flashing a little bling on their cute boots and party hats, which adds even more fun and personality to the designs. The touches of sparkle catch the light beautifully and give the cards a cheerful party feel without overwhelming the playful stamped images.

| Playful handmade cards featuring the large goose from the Concord & 9th Silly Goose stamp set and dies, with curved sentiments, party hats, bows, puddles, and pretty patterned papers. |
Don’t you love the way the stamped sentiments curve around the back of the large goose? It is such a clever feature of the Concord & 9th Silly Goose clear photopolymer stamp set, and it makes the greeting feel like part of the design rather than a separate element.
For these handmade cards, I paired the large goose from the Concord & 9th Silly Goose stamp set and coordinating dies with a selection of pretty patterned papers. The soft colours and decorative patterns create a cheerful background while allowing the wonderfully expressive goose to remain the main feature.
Party hats, sweet little bows, puddles of water and tufts of grass—these cards really do have it all! I had fun combining the different Silly Goose accessories to give each card its own playful personality. The puddles and grass help create a complete little scene, while the party hats and bows make the geese look ready for a celebration.
The large goose is ideal for handmade birthday cards, celebration cards and friendship cards, particularly when combined with the curved sentiments included in the set. Changing the patterned papers and small accessories makes it easy to create a coordinated group of cards in which every design is slightly different.
