This fresh and modern gift pattern from Stampin’ Up! Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper (DSP) was the perfect foundation for today’s quick Christmas card. And it only gets better paired with the darling plaid pattern (also Reindeer Days DSP) on the envelope flap.
bold die cut sentiments for a quick Christmas card
WHAT I LOVE! You KNOW I’m a fan of bold, die cut sentiments. The coordinating “Christmas” dies from Peaceful Seasons dies (one of My Favorite Things) make a crisp statement on the diagonal. Don’t miss that I continued my holiday message on the inside!
