Welcome to another Festive Friday—your weekly dose of holiday inspiration to help you stay ahead on Christmas cards this year!

This week’s card is all about shimmer and simplicity. I paired the gorgeous Season of Elegance Designer Series Paper (DSP) with a timeless Merry Christmas sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set. The mix of gold foil and rich color makes it perfect for elegant holiday greetings that come together quickly but still have a “wow” factor.

🛠️ Cardmaking Tips:

• Strip Smart: Use ¾” strips of DSP from coordinating patterns to stretch your supplies and build a polished design. It’s a great way to use scraps!
• Pop it up: Mount your sentiment on a contrasting mat and use Stampin’ Dimensionals to make it stand out.
• Ribbon Matters: A textured ribbon (like this sparkly Pretty Peacock & Gold mesh one) ties it all together—literally!
• Finish Strong: Add a fewAnitque Pearls for a touch of festive sparkle without overwhelming the design.
