Sending Holly Jolly Wishes with the Christmas Crew
Bring on the winter magic with a whimsical split-panel card featuring the adorable Christmas Crew Bundle. This design plays with cool winter tones, beautiful textures, and a charming snowman holding a festive sign to spread some holiday cheer.
For this project, I paired the adorable snowman from the Christmas Crew Bundle with some gorgeous specialty papers and a fun split-panel design that looks intricate but isn’t.

The foundation starts with a sturdy piece of Thick Basic White Cardstock, which provides the perfect base for a layered card. To create that stunning contrast, I used the beautiful snowing patterns from the Winter Dreams Designer Series Paper alongside the rich tones of Cloud Cover and Secret Sea Two-Tone Cardstocks.
For some holiday sparkle and added pop of color, I used Autumn Woodland Glimmer Specialty Paper and Timeless Metallic Specialty Paper for my holly berries and leaves.
Our sweet snowman friend was stamped and then brought to life with a variety of Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers (Secret Sea, Granny Apple Green, Real Red, Cloud Cover, and Calypso Coral). I used a Blending Brush with Secret Sea and Cloud Cover inks to softly shade the snowy background, then added finishing touches with a White Gel Pen and, of course, a little Wink of Stella for that perfect frosty glitter.
I would love to hear what you think of this whimsical holiday design. Do you enjoy adding a bit of shimmer to your winter cards? Leave me a comment and let me know.
