Easy Christmas Card Idea | White Poinsettia on Blue Glitter Paper

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

If you’re looking for an easy Christmas card layout that’s elegant and beginner-friendly, this small white poinsettia design is the perfect project to try.  Created as part of my Design Team project for Kat Scrappiness, this layout combines a simple sketch-style poinsettia with a stunning blue glitter paper background for a frosty, festive look.

It is also my project for our Anything Goes Saturday.  You can see Robbie’s project HERE.

 Supplies I’ve used

Design Inspiration

This easy poinsettia sketch layout is all about simplicity and balance.  The white-on-blue contrast gives it a modern winter feel, while the glitter paper adds just the right amount of Christmas shine.  It’s a great project for quick Christmas card making, or a relaxing weekend craft session.

World Card Making Day 2025 | Home For Christmas Collection

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

Last Saturday, Robbie & myself spend all day creating & sharing our World Card Making Event with you on our YouTube Channels.  For something a little different, we did a Christmas Edition of #WCMD2025.

Today I’m sharing my very 1st Christmas project featuring the Home for Christmas paper collection by Uniquely Creative. This beautiful set of papers is perfect for creating cozy, nostalgic designs that capture the warmth of the Christmas season.

For this project, I combined a few of the gorgeous Creative Cuts from the Collection in the way of a Christmas tree, presents and of course, the lovely Home for Christmas pattern paper to make a card that feels both joyful and timeless.  It’s a wonderful way to kick off Christmas crafting and start building up a stash of handmade cards.

The Design

  • Home for Christmas Paper Collection: The rich colours and festive prints set the tone for the whole project.

  • Christmas Tree & Presents: Classic symbols of Christmas that instantly create a focal point.

  • Pattern Paper Layers: Mixing different designs adds depth and makes the card feel complete.

PDF Tutorial & Sketch Layout Book

To make this project easy to recreate, we’ve created a PDF tutorial that includes:

  • Suggested supply list
  • Measurements – A5 AND A2
  • Step by step instructions
  • Video link to all projects
  • Card Sketch Layout Book

Purchase your PDF Tutorial by clicking HERE & receive a Sketch Layout Book too.

Final Thoughts

The Home for Christmas collection brings such a cozy, traditional feel to your Christmas projects.  Pairing it with simple motifs like trees and presents makes it easy to create cards that friends and family will treasure.
