A Simple Christmas Card Idea Using Your Leftover Designer Series Paper

Hello my crafty friend, Bonjour!

Do you have leftover Designer Series Paper tucked away in your craft room and aren’t sure what to do with it? Why not turn those beautiful scraps into a charming Christmas card? 🎄

For this project, I used the gorgeous Neutral Noel Designer Series Paper and paired it with Stampin’ Up!’s Merriest Tags Dies to create a simple yet festive Christmas card.

I love how easy it is to bring together coordinating patterns and a few special embellishments to create something beautiful. I also couldn’t resist adding those adorable adhesive-backed Adhesive-Back Mini Christmas Buttons?

For an extra creative touch, I used the Framed Violets Dies to create the neckline detail on the little blouse.  Such a fun way to think outside the box and use our dies in unexpected ways!

Measurements for the card:

• Basic Beige card base: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
• Basic White cardstock: 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
• Designer Series Paper of you choice:  4 x 5 1/4″
• Basic Beige cardstock: 5/8″ x 5 1/4″ (Button Placket Layer)
• Designer Series Paper:  1/2″ x 5 1/4″ (Bucket Placket)

This is a great way to use up some of your favourite Designer Series Paper while creating something special for the holiday season.

For these creations I used the Merriest Tags Bundle.  I stamped the images for the embroidery and the sentiments.

What Designer Series Paper would you use to recreate this card? I’d love to hear your ideas!
