Simple Vintage Holly Jolly Card Set!
Hello Simple Stories friends! It’s Cheryl here on the blog today with some simple cards to spread some Christmas joy!
I love everything about this collection and the vintage designs - from traditional colours and nostalgic icons. It’s the perfect collection to bring your holiday projects to life and there’s no better way to spread cheer than with handmade Christmas cards.
I decided to create a set of 5 cards which all measure 5.5 x 4.25 Inches and are on a white card base. The Simple Vintage Holly Jolly Christmas collection showcases timeless holiday colours like red, green, and cream. For my card backgrounds, I chose patterned papers with simple gingham and polka dot designs, creating an ideal foundation for layering embellishments.
Assembling the cards is always the most exciting part of the creative process for me! I began by layering the patterned papers onto the card bases, making sure to align everything perfectly for a polished look. Once the backgrounds were in place, I added the focal elements, like ephemera and chipboard stickers, which really brought the designs to life. Foam stickers as well as double sided foam adhesive underneath some of the Bits & Pieces gave my cards some dimension, but still keeping them flat enough to mail them to friends & family.
I sprinkled enamel dots from the collection as a finishing touch on each card as well as some bright red buttons from the Color Vibe Button Bold pack!
I hope this sparks your creativity and encourages you to craft your own holiday cards this season. Whether given to loved ones or used as festive decorations, they’re bound to bring joy and warmth to everyone who sees them.
Cheryl
