Special Delivery Christmas Card – ICS Blog Hop

Aloha Stampers!

Welcome to another Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop! Our theme this month is Christmas Is Coming, and I’m sharing a festive Christmas card featuring the beautiful All Wrapped Up Designer Series Paper.

I love traditional Christmas plaids, especially in red and green! This paper makes a wonderful background, and a couple of little presents are all you need to finish off the card.

A Special Delivery for Christmas

I started with a Misty Moonlight card base and layered it with Real Red cardstock and All Wrapped Up Designer Series Paper.

The little gifts were cut using the Box of Joy Dies with Real Red and Peaceful Pine cardstock. I arranged them on a Basic White shape cut with the Nested Essentials Dies.

But my favorite detail might be the greeting!

I used the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies with my hot foil machine to make the shiny Special Delivery greeting. The foil adds such a pretty touch, especially with the traditional Christmas plaid.

A little ribbon and a few sparkling embellishments finish everything off.

Card Measurements

• Misty Moonlight: 5½” × 8½”, scored at 4¼” for the card base
• Real Red: 4″ × 5¼”
• Basic White: 4″ × 5¼” for the inside
• All Wrapped Up DSP: 3¾” × 5″
• Peaceful Pine and Real Red scraps: For the die-cut gifts
• Basic White scraps: For the greeting and decorative die-cut

Layer the Designer Series Paper onto the Real Red cardstock, then attach it to your card base.

Add your die-cut gifts, greeting, and embellishments to complete the front of the card.

🌺 Crafty Tip: A hot foil greeting is a fun way to add a little sparkle to a handmade card. Try combining it with your favorite Designer Series Paper for an extra-special finishing touch!
