This month’s theme will warm your heart. And, it’s a steal at $45! The December 2025 Card Kit of the Month includes:

  • You’re Souper Clear Stamp Set
  • You’re Souper Coordinating Dies
  • Big Squishy Hugs Die Set
  • Brown Acrylic Speckle, .5 oz.

You Got This

For this card, I used the arm dies from the card kit to cut out pieces of Wild Berry and Tutu Spellbinders cardstock. Then I used Hero Arts Embossing & Watermark ink to stamp the December 2025 Cling Stamp of the Month: Dotty pattern onto the Wild Berry piece. I die cut the sleeves from Tutu and the hands from Fawn and then glued them to the arms. I adhered the top and bottom arm pieces to a card base and then die cut the heart and stamped the sentiment. To finish the card, I slid the heart beneath the arms.

For my second card, I used the December 2025 Die Set of the Month: Alphabet Soup. This card shows someone giving a bowl of soup to the recipient. It was so fun to put together! I die cut all of the elements and used a little bit of ink-blending and splatter to add details to the soup, letters, crackers, and hands. I also used the same Dotty Background cling stamp to add a pattern to the background.

Supplies:

  • December 2025 Die Set of the Month: Alphabet Soup
  • Soup: Carrot cardstock with Pumpkin ink-blending around the edges and brown splatter
  • Soul swirls: Terracotta cardstock
  • Noodles and crackers: Alabaster cardstock with Fawn ink-blending
  • Parsley: Rainforest cardstock
  • Bowl and spoon: Alabaster cardstock
  • Plate: Seaside cardstock cut with a die from the Nesting Circles die set
  • Hands: Fawn cardstock with Fawn ink-blending
  • Background: Oceanside cardstock with Embossing & Watermark ink-stamped dots using the December 2025 Cling Stamp of the Month: Dotty
