Card Base:

• For the card base, I used Simon Says Stamp WHITE A2 SIDE FOLD
• I’ve put together a pack of 5 cardstock colors. The colors I used are: Lavender, Tutu, Dahlia, Bellini, Mint. I die cut the pieces from the Gifting Bow Etched Dies s4-1468 using these colors and my Platinum SIX Machine.
• I also die-cut some stars from the die set using the VELLUM SHEETS pack and the Silver Assortment pack.
• Additionally, I prepared a background panel using the Petite Criss Cross Press Plate bp-311 and the BetterPress Letterpress System. The BetterPress Cotton Card Panels A2 are amazing!
• To add even more texture and dimension to the colorful bows, I layered each one over a piece of vellum. This soft detail gives the entire design a light and airy feel—perfect for enhancing the delicate, festive vibe of the card.

Decorative details:

This card is all about soft colors, delicate textures, and festive details that come together in a sweet and elegant holiday design. Every piece was thoughtfully die-cut and layered to create dimension, flow, and that magical handmade touch we love so much. Let me walk you through the details…

• Elegant Layered Poinsettias: The focal points of the card are the layered poinsettia flowers in soft pinks and blush tones. Each petal is delicately shaped to give a sense of natural volume and movement. The layering brings depth to the card and evokes the softness and elegance of real holiday blooms..
• Pastel Green Foliage: Surrounding each poinsettia, soft green die-cut leaves add balance and contrast. The mix of leaf shapes mimics real greenery and adds to the lushness of the floral arrangements.
• Tiny Accent Flowers: Scattered among the poinsettias are tiny peach and soft pink blossoms with delicate centers. These smaller florals help to fill the composition, soften transitions, and add extra charm and whimsy.
• Sparkling Centers: Each flower—large or small—is finished with a rhinestone or silver accent in the center. These shimmering details add a festive sparkle and elevate the card’s holiday feel.
• Lavender Ribbons with Vellum Accents: Flowing throughout the card are die-cut lavender ribbons that bring playful movement and guide the eye across the entire design. Behind each ribbon is a vellum shadow layer that adds subtle dimension and gives a light, airy feel to the composition.
• Sentiment Banner: The final touch is the sentiment “Merry Christmas,” beautifully foiled in silver and centered toward the bottom of the card on a crisp white banner. I created it using the Merry and Bright Sentiment Strips Press Plate and Die Set bp-049 along with the Glimmer Hot Foil System and Platinum SIX Machine. This elegant banner anchors the design while adding just the right amount of festive shine, perfectly tying together the soft colors and delicate details of the entire composition.

And that’s how this sweet and delicate Christmas card came together! Every little piece—bows, florals, leaves, textures, and the touch of shine—was thoughtfully layered to create a card full of charm and elegance. It’s the perfect way to send a little holiday magic in pastel tones!
