🎄Jolly Delivery Bundle + North Pole Delivery Specialty Designer Series Paper = a Hidden Treat Surprise!

Welcome to this month’s Christmas Blog Hop, where the creativity is merry, bright, and overflowing with festive inspiration! I’m so excited you stopped by because today’s project is one of my absolute favorites of the season.

For this hop, I’m creating with the Jolly Delivery Bundle and North Pole Delivery Specialty Designer Series Paper, and let me just say… this suite is PURE Christmas magic. From vintage-postal vibes to the cutest little Santa-themed details, it’s like crafting straight from the mailroom at the North Pole.

And today’s card? It’s not just adorable.

It’s interactive, unexpected, and yes—there’s a hidden treat pocket tucked inside! Because who wouldn’t love a card that delivers both holiday cheer and a sweet surprise?

This project blends detailed layering, warm Christmas colors, and playful little elements that make the design come alive. The hidden pocket is discreet enough to feel like a secret, but roomy enough for a flat treat, tea packet, or even a note from Santa himself.

✨ Here’s what you’ll find below:

  • Full step-by-step instructions for making the hidden treat pocket in a PDF
  • A complete supply list using the North Pole Delivery Suite
  • Links to all the incredible creators in this month’s Christmas Blog Hop

Whether you’re prepping handmade gifts, working through your holiday card list, or just here for the festive crafting inspiration, I’m so happy you’re hopping with us today!



Let’s get this festive party going and begin with the paper measurements!



Grab your favorite festive drink, settle in, and get ready to be inspired by all the incredible Christmas projects tonight!

  • Score your DSP: 2-3/8” x 12” @ 2-3/4”, 5-1/2”, 8-1/4” & 11”; 2-3/8” x 6” @ 2-3/4” & 5-1/2”; 3/4” x 3-1/8” @ 1/4”, 3/8”, 2-3/4” & 2-7/8”
  • Fold the DSP at the score lines making an accordion style fold.
  • Attach the 2-1/4” (left side) Basic White to the 1” tab of the 12” DSP and the 6” DSP 1/2” tab to the back of the White (right side). 
  • Attach the 3/4” strip to the very last panel. Attach the Garden Green piece to the backside of the last panel. This is just a reinforcement element. 
  • Decorate the all the panels with the die cuts from the Specialty DSP. 
  • Punch out a Heartfelt Hexagon from the DSP and another from White. Attach the white to the DSP backside. 
  • Stamp the sentiments. Fussy cut out them out. Attach them to the panels. 
  • Cut the treat box die (don’t forget the tap – I used the star) from the 6” x 6” DSP. Fold all the score lines but don’t glue anything. 
  • Attach the last panel of the accordion to the center of the box. Slip in your little treat – a Ghirardelli Chocolate Square fits perfectly! 
  • Fold the accordion closed and fold the box around it. 
  • Wrap the Real Red and White Bakers Twine around the box 2-3 times and tie off in a bow. Slip the tag onto the twine before you tie it off. 

There is a downloadable PDF below that you can print off or just refer back to later with detailed instructions.



This season always reminds me how much I love creating little moments of joy through handmade crafting. A treat tucked inside a card, a thoughtful sentiment, a handful of glitter (because… always glitter) — it all adds up to magic we get to share with others.

Happy Holidays, friends. ❤️

My Favorite Stampin Tools

1.Take Your Pick
144107s So many uses and attachments for this little tool that makes crafting so much easier! I have 3 currently in my tools drawer!
2.Stampin’ Glass Mat Studio (Imperial)
163987s This glass mat is amazing! I love that you can write on it, stamp on it and use it to line up paper. Easy to use and super easy to clean up when you’re all done!
3.Simply Scored
122334s The Simply Scored is in my top 5 because it make scoring easy when you’re doing a bunch of scoring at once or intricate score marks for a fold. Also saves you from cutting when wanting to score! The diagonal board is also super helpful when doing scores for envelopes and boxes.
4.Blending Brushes
153611s Oh my blending brushes. These little fellows are a blessing when it comes to adding color and making scenes! I could write an entire book on why you should have these in your tool bag!
5.Soft Pastels Assortment
154585s These are a sentimental favorite. I have been using soft pastels in art work since high school. They are a unique color tool that believe it or not has a lot of different uses and color techniques. If you want to explore coloring then grab a set of these!

Memory Keeping Kits and More!
