Sentimental Christmas Holiday Card

Sentimental Christmas Holiday Card (1)

This is an easy card design to make, plus I love this Christmas paper! And with each purchase of the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! will donate $3 to organizations dedicated to the future of children around the world. When we purchase this beautiful vintage-look paper, not only do we get to use it and enjoy it but we know we are helping others.

This festive patterned paper is filled with traditional holiday images: holly and berries, candles, snowflakes, candy canes, Christmas trees, and more! Fussy cut individual elements for quick accents. Or cut the lantern and candy cane paper into six pieces to make quick card fronts. This paper was hand-drawn in colored pencils for original designs you won’t find anywhere else.

To make this easy card, start with a Pretty Peacock Cardstock card base. I used two different patterns of the Sentimental Christmas Paper….the old-fashioned candles and the red striped paper. If I put a ribbon around the seam where the two papers meet, I always overlap the papers and add the ribbon before adhering to the card base. This new ribbon is the Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/4″ Satin Ribbon. You can then tie a bow around the strip of ribbon or usually I tie a bow separately and then adhere it to the card with a Mini Glue Dot or two.

The greeting is in the Peaceful Season Stamp Set. There are many good holiday greetings in this stamp set. If you get the Peaceful Season Bundle, you can use those dies or you can use another die as I did, a stitched circle die in the Unbounded Love Dies.

To finish this card, just add a Basic White layer of cardstock inside the card and perhaps add a strip of designer series paper along the side or the bottom.
