Welcome to Day 4 of The Stamping Lounge 12 Days of Christmas Challenge! ✨
Today’s challenge is all about Christmas Characters — think Santa, elves, snowmen, reindeer, angels and all those fun little characters that instantly make a project feel festive!
For my project, I decided to have a little fun with the Stampin’ Up! Merry Mischief Bundle and created this triple tier wiper fun fold card.
And honestly… this one is SO much fun to open!
My Day FOUR Inspiration

The card starts off looking like a series of layered panels, but as you open it, the tiers move and reveal the cheeky Christmas characters inside. I love how much dimension and movement this style of card creates without needing to make the project overly complicated.
I paired the characters with some fun Christmas colours and patterned paper, adding a little extra detail to the front with the adorable Christmas cottage scene. The result is a playful, interactive card that would be so much fun to give to someone who loves a little Christmas mischief!


I loved how cheeky this set is with the cute Santa gnomes and that funky toadstool house!
I added some whimsical details like the cute little presents and peppermints adorning the toadstool awning.


I couldn’t resist adding a bit of ‘sparkle & shine’ and using my fave – the hot foil machine & those magnificent Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies. They are a must have for your Christmas crafting!
If you haven’t seen them yet, you can check them out at the bottom of this post.
