Aloha Stampers!
Welcome to Week 3 of my 12 Weeks of Christmas!
This week, I’m sharing a cute Christmas card featuring the Christmas Mice Bundle and Little Christmas Designer Series Paper.
Aren’t these little mice adorable? I especially love the one reaching up to decorate the Christmas tree!
And here’s something else I love about this card: the layout is so simple, and it’s a great way to use several coordinating patterns of Designer Series Paper.
A Simple Layout with Lots of Possibilities
Sometimes you don’t need a fancy fold or complicated technique to make a special card.
For this one, I combined three different patterns of Little Christmas Designer Series Paper. The cute Christmas scene is the star, while the coordinating plaid and striped papers add just the right finishing touches.
This is a layout you could use again and again with almost any Designer Series Paper in your collection!
I added a pretty wreath made with the Christmas Mice Bundle, along with a little ribbon to bring everything together.
The fa la la la la greeting is from the Soiree Salutations Stamp Set, punched out with the Three Banner Punch.
I especially like this stamp set and punch combination because it’s so easy to use. It’s a wonderful choice for beginning stampers who want to add a variety of greetings to their handmade cards.
A Little Christmas Sparkle
Of course, I couldn’t resist adding a little sparkle!
I used Wink of Stella on the Christmas tree ornaments and the berries in the wreath. It’s a simple way to add some Christmas magic without making the card too fancy.
🌺 Crafty Tip: When you have several coordinating patterns of Designer Series Paper, try combining them in one simple card layout. It’s a great way to use smaller pieces of your favorite papers!
