Welcome to another Festive Friday! This week’s card is a cheerful and bold Christmas design featuring some incredible Last Chance products. If you’ve had your eye on the More Wishes Stamp Set or the Take a Bow 6″x6″ Designer Series Paper, now is the time to grab them before they’re gone for good!
Card Details:
For this festive design, I combined bright, classic Christmas colors with fun typography and fussy-cut details:
The holly leaves were fussy cut from the DSP, and I added dimension with Cherry Cobbler Pearl Berries to give the card a little extra holiday sparkle!
The sentiment features “merry” from the More Wishes Stamp Set, stamped in Real Red Ink on white die-cut panels.
The bold “CHRISTMAS” is heat embossed in White Embossing Powder on Real Red cardstock, creating a striking contrast.
The beautiful Take a Bow 6″x6″ DSP serves as the background, adding a festive flair with its starry green pattern.
Why You’ll Love This Card:
✔ Simple yet striking layout that makes a big impact
✔ A perfect way to use Last Chance products before they retire
✔ Great for mass-producing Christmas cards with a handmade touch

Welcome back to Festive Friday! This week’s card brings classic Christmas charm with bold typography and festive holly details. I used the More Wishes Stamp Set, Take a Bow 6×6 DSP, and the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder to create a clean and modern holiday design. ❄️❤️
Let’s take a closer look at this week’s festive creation! 🎄
The Card Design
This design is all about layers, texture, and festive details! The sentiment is fussy cut and placed at an angle, adding a dynamic touch to the layout. The holly leaves were carefully trimmed from the Take a Bow DSP, bringing in a natural element that ties everything together. Layered patterned paper creates a fun backdrop, and the crisp border of the Nested Essentials Die with rounded corners frames the sentiment beautifully. The Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-backed Berries add the perfect sparkle, making the holly come to life with a festive shimmer.
Card Highlights:
Fussy-cut sentiment angled for a playful layout
Holly elements hand-cut from DSP for a coordinated embellishment
Layered DSP panels add depth and contrast
Embossed background for subtle texture
Nested Essentials Die with rounded corners for a polished frame
Sparkling adhesive-backed berries for a festive finishing touch
Create the Card Base: Cut Basic White cardstock to 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, score at 4-1/4”, and fold.
Emboss the Background: Use the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder on a 4″ X 5-1/4″ Basic White panel for a subtle textured backdrop. Adher the panel to the card base with Liquid Glue.
Layer the DSP: Cut two panels of Take a Bow 6×6 DSP at 2-3/4″ X 4″, adhere them to the card front slightly offset for dimension.
Stamp the Sentiment: Ink the MERRY image from the More Wishes stamp set in Real Red and stamp onto the top left corner of the 2nd largest rounded rectangle from the Nested Essential Dies. Then stamp the christmas image on a scrap paper in Real Red Ink, fussy cut and adhere to the die-cut panel using Mini Glue Dots. Adhere this panel to the center left of the card front using Dimensionals.
Fussy Cut the Holly: Trim holly leaves from the Take a Bow DSP and adhere near the sentiment.
Embellish: Add Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-backed Berries to the holly leaves for the perfect finishing touch.
Why I Love This Design
This card is bright, fun, and festive! The Take a Bow DSP brings in cheerful holiday patterns, while the embossed background adds elegant texture. The fussy-cut holly and berries provide a special handmade touch that makes this design feel extra merry! 🎄✨
