Holly Jolly Branches - Peace Hope Joy

Hello Stampers,

Christmas cards don't always have to be red & green! This soft & elegant color combination is one I fell in love with years ago, & I'm delighted to see these beautiful shades making a comeback this season. They bring a fresh, wintry feel to holiday crafting while still capturing the magic of Christmas. What do you think? Would you give this non-traditional palette a place on your holiday card list?

To create this card, I embossed Barely Blush Cardstock with the Swirls of Magic Embossing Folder & layered it onto Soft Sea Foam Cardstock for a delicate, textured background. Using the Holly Jolly Branches Dies, I cut trees from both Barely Blush & Soft Sea Foam Cardstock & arranged them on a Basic White Cardstock circle created with the retired 2¼" Circle Punch. To add extra depth & interest, I popped up the center tree with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For the greeting, I stamped a sentiment from the Soiree Salutations Stamp Set with Soft Sea Foam Ink onto Basic White Cardstock, punched it out with the 3 Banner Punch, & attached it with Stampin' Dimensionals. The completed design was mounted onto a Basic White Cardstock base & finished with a few 2026–2028 In Color Dots (Barely Blush) for a touch of festive sparkle.

 ~Thanks for stopping by!
