5 Days of Christmas Giveaways- Day 1

Hello Pretty Pink Posh friends! It’s Jeanne here and today we are kicking off Day 1 of our 5 Days of Giveaways in honor of this Christmas season. I’m sharing a cheery Christmas Card! I love to make cards with bright bold color and using a simple color block technique makes great results. 

Pretty Pink Posh: 5 Days of Giveaways- Day 1

I started by cutting the Stitched Borders 3 die in several shades of ombre red and green. Because I like to save time, I cut several stackable border dies at one time. I reserve the extra die cuts for future projects.  The next time I make a color block card I will have several colorful strips ready to choose from. Because the dies have a stitching detail the card stock cuts don’t release easily. I always place wax paper between the cardstock and the die to make removing them much effortless.  

Pretty Pink Posh: 5 Days of Giveaways- Day 1

I adhered the stripes at an angle to the front of my card base.  When the panel was covered I snipped off any bits that were overlapping. The stacked dies are really unique because they fit together edge to edge with no overlap so your finished card is very flat and smooth. Next I adhered the Winter Frame cut from white card stock to the colorful striped panel.

I adhered the Layered tree die in shades of teal over the colorful striped panel. For the most contrast I cut the top of the tree from a light shade of teal to adhere over the darkest stripes of red.  The darkest shade of teal used for the bottom layer of the tree is placed over the lighter green stripes.

  1. I think Christmas is my favorite holiday to craft for because I not only make cards, I usually make a few ornaments each year as well as a few layouts.

  3. Love Christmas time Just don’t have enough time to do everything I like.

  4. I think my favorite time to craft for would be autumn because of all those lovely colour options!

  5. I enjoy making Christmas cards, but they usually cause me a lot of stress towards the end (cause I never have enough), lol, so – maybe not exactly a holiday per se – but I really love making baby cards and birthday cards.

  8. This is beautiful and that teal tree is amazing! I think my most favorite craft is flower cards! So not necessarily a holiday in general, but anything floral!

  9. Lovely framing and palette on this card. Birthdays are not a holiday, but I enjoy making themed party decor the most.

  10. What a beautiful card! Merry Christmas to Pretty Pink Posh!! Love your name!!!

  11. It’s definitely Christmas. All my cards are mailed out and I’m still making them. I give away so many cards to friends and family. I give away a lot of tags, too.

  12. I enjoy crafting for all the holidays but there is a greater array of product available for the Christmas holiday! Like your lovely layered PPP tree Jeanne!

  13. The color palette is superb. Love the card especially the surround from the cover plate.

    1. Forgot favorite holiiday craft. I love crafting at Christmas but my true favorite is the 4th of July.
