You know those moments when you flip through the September-December 2025 Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog and think, “Oooh, that’d make a cute page layout…”?
Well, page 14 caught my eye—and I couldn’t stop thinking about how adorable that Gingerbread bundle would be in a full 12×12 layout. Not just a card, not just a tag. We’re going big cookie energy, friends. 🍪
So I grabbed that inspo, pulled a sketch from page 8, gave it a Crafting with Holly-style remix, and created this full-size layout that’s now my go-to for cozy holiday memories. Even better? The remixed sketch I used is NEXT week’s Friday Freebie for my email subscribers!
In the video tutorial, below, I’ll walk you through exactly how I created this festive 12×12 layout using:
✅ A modified version of a Mini Catalog sketch (originally on page 8)
✅ The Gingerbread Man Bundle ( stamp & die ), from page 54—hello, cuteness!
✅ Classic heat embossing for texture and sparkle
✅ Layering and layout strategies that balance photo + design + journaling space
This layout is designed to feature one main photo (or a 4×6 + 3X3 combo), with space for embellishments, a title, and a bit of journaling. Whether you’re scrapbooking cookie baking with the grandkids or your holiday decor setup, this layout works beautifully.
🎥 The full process video is below—and spoiler alert: I show you exactly how I adapted the original catalog sketch to better suit more photos & photos that I already had printed in a different orientation. Because let’s be honest, not every sketch translates straight across… but this one totally can with a few tweaks.
