Stitching Up Simple Christmas Card Video
It’s officially time to get a jump start on holiday crafting. Today I’m sharing a super clean, graphic card that balances cozy patchwork textures with a modern style.
This layout is all about letting your designer paper shine. I used three quilt-inspired squares from the gorgeous A Stitched Season Designer Series Paper. The printed paper gives you that instant warm, homemade “stitched” feel without needing to pull out a needle and thread.
To create the crisp frames and the thin border, I matted the images onto Secret Sea Two-Tone Cardstock and arranged the squares across Basic White cardstock. The “holly jolly greetings” sentiment comes from the versatile Festive Cheers stamp set and was stamped in the right in the bottom corner to ground the design
You might notice a gorgeous touch of sparkle under the sentiment. Those are Traditional Sparkling Sequins. Here’s the bittersweet news: these red glittery beauties were part of our Last Chance products and are officially sold out. This is the perfect reminder that when you see something you love in this catagory, you have to grab it before it is gone for good!
Grab your favorite beverage and let’s take a look at how this festive beauty came together.
