G’Day Friends,
There’s nothing better than celebrating World Card Making Day then by creating something handmade and full of festive cheer. Today, I’m sharing project #3 that combines the small poinsettia craft dies with the lovely Blue Glitter 6 x 6 Double Sided Premium Cardstock by Kat Scrappiness – but with a twist! Instead of classic reds and greens, I’ve gone for non-traditional colours to give this holiday design a fresh, modern look.
Why Non-Traditional Colours?
Sometimes it’s fun to step away from the traditional Christmas palette and play with softer tones, unexpected hues or even pastels. Using non-traditional colours can make your Christmas cards feel unique and truly stand out.
The Design
-
Small Poinsettia Craft Dies: These delicate flowers layer beautifully and add instant festive flair – especially all white
-
Pattern Paper: A mix of textures and designs brings depth to the background – check out all that lovely glittler
-
Layout Inspiration: I used a clean sketch design that highlights the focal point while keeping the overall card balanced – to me, simple is always best, especially with lots of lovely layers
