Be Jolly This Season

I’ve recently made some Christmas cards with non-traditional colors (I’ll be sharing those cards with you next week), but today I’m sharing a card with the most traditional of Christmas colors – rich greens and rich red. There’s also a little pop of fun in this sophisticated palette of colors. Here’s my card:

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

• ‘Tis the Season. My card features three patterns from the ‘Tis the Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. How fun is that?! There are so many great Christmas-themed patterns with so many great greens and reds in this pack of papers. Here’s a look at the patterns and colors in the ‘Tis the Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper:If you’d like to flip through all of the pages in this pack of papers, click on the photo below: ‘Tis the Season is one of 15 papers that are 15% off in October.

• Sweet Sentiment. I wanted something with “sweet” to coordinate with my panel of candy canes. I couldn’t find a sentiment that gave me that (and was the size I needed it to be), but…since sweet things make us happy, then a jolly sentiment would work great, too! I reached for this sentiment from Christmas Gleaming, a returning favorite in this year’s August – December 2020 Mini Catalog. While the bundle includes the stamp set, coordinating punches and coordinating papers, I only used the stamp set here. The sentiment in the stamp set is actually “& be jolly this season.” I used a piece of tape to cover up the “&” before I stamped this sentiment on Thick Whisper White. I cropped the sentiment with a Stitched Nested Labels Die. So sweet.
• Double Bow. This past week, one of my team members asked about the bow dies that are included in the Arrange a Wreath Bundle – it’s not initially obvious what the dies are created to do. There’s a beautiful bow (to the right of the “love” heart below) and another shape (just above the “love” heart below). Here’s a look at this bundle: It might not be initially obvious, but the shape above the “love” heart allows you to make a double bow on your bow. I layered it below the full bow on my tag:
