Hello crafty friends!
Ericka from Strangely Creative here, and this week we’ve been diving into all things Christmas cards! 🎅 You can never start too early when it comes to creating your holiday stash and yet, somehow, I always find myself rushing to get them all finished before December hits. That’s why I love a quick and easy design that still feels festive and full of sparkle.
Creating the Background
I started by pulling out some of my favorite Lindy’s Gang sprays, this time, I went with the gorgeous Victorian Bouquet Shimmer Set. I lightly sprayed the colors onto watercolor paper, drying between each layer. The soft shimmer and blend of bright hues give instant holiday magic without much effort.
🎄 Adding the Focal Image
Once the background was completely dry, I stamped the PaperArtsy Xmas stamp and white heat-embossed it. I love how the scripty text peeks through behind the tree and gives it a beautiful layered effect that’s still clean and simple.
🖤 Finishing Touches
To finish, I stamped the sentiment on black cardstock, added a strip of washi tape for a pop of pattern, and mounted everything with a crisp white border. Just like that, another Christmas card ready for the pile - easy, shimmery, and festive!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
I hope this project inspires you to get an early start on your Christmas cardmaking and maybe even play with your favorite Lindy’s Gang colors this week. 💖
Have a wonderfully creative day!
