Check out this stunning Christmas Card using festive patterned paper to set the tone.
Eeek! It’s FINALLY that time of the year! With Christmas just right around the corner our designer, Dominique, wanted to share a simple yet cute Christmas card using patterned paper. The white, red and green color pallet is sure to insight festive feelings, but the patterned paper really brings it home for us! Paired with this darling bow and bell die, this simple card is one we will be pinning for future inspiration, for sure! Follow along as we check out the steps to recreate this darling card.
- Select a sheet a patterned paper from the Holly Jolly #2209 paper pad. Then select a sheet of white card stock.
- Grab your 5003D Nested Rectangle Dies. Use the 3.625″ x 4.875″ die to cut your white paper and use die 3.07″ x 4.32″ die to cut the patterned paper.
- Add adhesive to the back. I added double sided tape to the white card stock and double sided foam adhesive to the patterned paper.
- Next we are going to work on our bow and bell. I will be using 5617-02D Bell and Bow Die for this. Die cut once from silver card stock and then again from red card stock. Once cut, assemble your bow and circle bell.
- Moving on to the piece of patterned paper. To create the illusion of a wrapped present, cut two thin strips of red card stock. Glued them down, in a T like position then cut off the extra pieces that hang off the paper.
- Now add some silver shimmer mist to the piece of white card stock.
- While you wait for that to dry, add foam adhesive to the back of bow and bell.
- Adhere all the elements together onto a red 4.25 x 5.5 card base.
- Lastly, onto a banner or strip of white card stock, stamp the “Merry Christmas” stamp from 36045 Let it Snow Set. Adhere that to your card and your all done!
