Countdown to Christmas – 6 Weeks to Go! 🎄

Our Christmas Countdown continues, and can you believe there are only 6 weeks left until the big day? Today’s card features the Christmas Greenery set, and it turned out so fun and festive!

I wanted this design to mimic the look of a wrapped present, so I used patterned DSP for the background and added a pretty bow on top. Instead of sticking to the traditional Christmas palette, I went with some out-of-the-box colours (including touches of blue — my favourite 💙). I love how bright and cheerful it feels while still being perfect for the holidays.

Measurements (adjust as you like):

Card base: 5 ½” x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”
DSP layer: 4” x 5 ¼”
Sentiment strip: approx. ¾” x 3”

Steps:

Prepare the base – Cut and score your card base. Adhere the card stock mat layer to the front.
adhere DSP to left corner and strip beside it on angles so it looks like a gift wrapped
Stamp & die cut – Stamp the greenery and floral images x2 in your chosen colours, then die cut them. I sliced one of the images in half to tuck it under the top layer to make it full.
Assemble the bouquet – Arrange the greenery and flowers in a cluster at the centre of the card to form the "gift topper."
Add the bow – Attach a ribbon or die-cut bow above the arrangement to make it look like a wrapped present.
Sentiment – Stamp your holiday greeting onto a strip of cardstock and layer it across the bouquet.
Finishing touches – Add embellishments like sequins or gems for a bit of sparkle.
