Merry Christmas in July!

What better way to celebrate than with a festive handmade card? Today, I’m sharing a cheerful Christmas card using the Jolly Holly Bundle and Embossing Folder, available online only. You might recognize this bundle from the Christmas Gift Boxes I shared recently—it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites!

This design is wonderfully versatile and works beautifully with any coordinating Designer Series Paper (DSP) and color palette. For a fun twist, I went with a non-traditional color scheme featuring the new In Color, Strawberry Slush. It adds a fresh and modern pop to the holiday season!

Card Preparation:

Emboss a Crumb Cake panel using the Jolly Holly Embossing Folder.
Die cut a circle using the Spotlight on Nature Dies and stamp your sentiment from the Jolly Holly stamp set in the center.
On a piece of scrap cardstock, stamp a few poinsettias and die cut them out.

Assembly Instructions:

Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the embossed Crumb Cake panel to your card base for added texture and depth.
Wrap ribbon around your DSP panel and secure it in place before adhering the panel to the card front.
Attach the sentiment circle to the center of your card with more dimensionals.
Embellish the card with your die-cut poinsettias and a few rhinestones for some festive sparkle.
Don’t forget to decorate the inside of the card and your envelope for a polished, professional finish!

Whether you’re getting a head start on your holiday card stash or simply celebrating Christmas in July, this card is sure to spread a little seasonal cheer. 🎄
