🎄 Modern Christmas Magic with a Pink Twist!

Leave a comment

This week’s Facebook Live was all about modern elegance with a pink twist! I featured the stunning Modern Christmas Suite by Stampin’ Up! to create a bold yet festive design that blends pink, black, and gold—a perfect combo for anyone who loves a chic, non-traditional holiday look.

I adore how the gold embossing and delicate vellum details bring just the right amount of shimmer and sophistication. The playful trees add a touch of whimsy, while the clean sentiment—“Wishing You Peace & Joy”—keeps the message heartfelt and classic.

💗 Why You’ll Love This Card:
