Holiday Joy

Design Team Time: This round at Hand Stamped Sentiments (#478), we have a lovely set of colors. Perfect for Christmas.

My design choices were influenced by: The Male Room (#205) to create a guy card with Red & Green; Simply Clean & Simple (#2512) to create a clean and simple card using Red & Green; and Tic Tac Toe (#285) Left vertical line to add Texture, White and a Plaid.

I am sharing this card with We Love Stamping (#07DEC25) also for Red & Green and Addicted To Stamps & More (#507) for their Christmas theme.  

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic Beige cardstock.
• Accent Mat: (4” x 2⅝”) Shaded Spruce cardstock.
• Plaid Panel: (3¾” x 2⅜”) Cut Gift Box from the Wrapped in Cheer November 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit.  The Box has a Basic Beige and Basic White Gingham pattern.
  • Using my newly retired Shaded Spruce and Real Red Stampin’ Write Markers, I created the Plaid Pattern.
• Tag: Using the Tag die from the Abundant Joy Dies set, a Paper Pumpkin Add-On product. The Tag was die-cut from the center of the Shaded Spruce Accent Mat.
  • For texture, the Tag was dry-embossed with the retired Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.
• Sentiment: Real Red Dotted patterned scrap from the retired Take A Bow Designer Series Paper pack.  The sentiment, Joy, was die-cut with the Joy die, also from the Abundant Joy Dies set.
• Decoration – White Leaf: Basic White cardstock scrap die-cut with small Leaf die from the retired Mixed Labels Dies set.

All elements were adhered to the card base.  The Tag was popped up with Dimensionals and a bit of White Baker’s Twine was added.

A nice clean and simple holiday card, quite suitable for a fellow.

I look forward to seeing what you will create with the Hand Stamped Sentiments colors this round.
