I love a great mix of beautiful patterns on a card. Today’s project combines three designs from the Christmas Tags & More Specialty Designer Series Paper—two greens and one red—that create the perfect foundation for a festive collage of Holiday images. Here’s the card I made to share with you today:

There’s not a lot of stamping on this card (but it’s there!). The main point of my design is simple: you need the Christmas Tags & More Specialty Designer Series Paper. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in this festive pack:

The pack includes 8 each of 4 double-sided designs and 4 pages of punch-out images (2 of each design). It’s perfect for all your Holiday projects! Please note that this paper is currently unavailable—I didn’t realize that until after my post was written—but if you click the image above, you can request an email alert when it’s back in stock (expected mid-November).

Below is a closer look at the red cardinal, holly, and plaid banner (all from the punch-out sheets) and the sentiment I heat-embossed in white with Wow! Embossing Powder. Together, they create a rich red collage at the heart of this card:

Here’s a look at the Seasonal Tags stamp set I used to create the sentiment on my card. I’ve reached for this set often—it’s so versatile, and the sentiments are perfect for quick, polished greetings.

To finish the design, I added three small Real Red sequins from the Traditional Sparkling Sequins. I love the little shine they bring to the cluster! Here’s a look at these festive embellishments:

I don’t always love punch-out images, but the variety in this pack—Christmas trees, wreaths, candy canes, and ornaments—makes it an absolute delight to use. Such fun!

Combining coordinating papers and pre-punched elements is an easy way to create polished, layered cards in no time. The Christmas Tags & More Specialty Designer Series Paper offers everything you need—color, texture, and ready-made accents—for quick, beautiful Holiday designs.
