Christmas Traditions Holiday Paper Sampler Cards

Did you order one of my Holiday Paper Share sample packs? Today's cards are an example of how you can use your 6×6" sample pieces to create quick & easy holiday cards! If you're still interested in the Holiday Paper Share, signups are still going on through September 30. We need 3 people to fill the next group. Details are here.

I paired the Holiday Catalog Share papers with the brand new Christmas Traditions Punch Box.

Christmas Traditions Punch Box—I love this fun little gift box filled with everything you need to add cute sentiments to Christmas cards, treats & tags! You receive a set of six greetings stamps, a coordinating Christmas Traditions label punch, Real Red & Call Me Clover Stampin' Spots and an acrylic block to mount the photopolymer stamps. It all comes in a beautiful holiday storage tin, too!

Swap card created by Sandy Carlson at Stampin' Gem.

Background Basics—The 4" x 5-1/4" Whisper White background was embossed with the Swirls & Curls Texture Impressions Folder, then adhered to the Whisper White Thick cardstock base. I like to use a combination of Tear & Tape and SNAIL adhesives for a secure hold.

Paper Sampler Square—The 3×3" All is Bright Designer Series Paper square was mounted onto a 3-1/4" square of Call Me Clover cardstock. It was tied with some Real Red Mixed Satin Ribbon into a double-knot faux bow. If you purchased the Holiday Paper Share, you can create 4 cards from just one of your samples! Think of how fast you can create a whole stack of holiday cards with your favorite papers! The neutral background works with all papers, so you only need to swap out the color of the mats and ribbon for a whole card set!

Sweet Sentiment—The Christmas Traditions sentiment was stamped in Real Red ink onto Whisper White, then punched with the Christmas Traditions label punch. It's popped up onto a 1-3/4" Circle punch in Call Me Clover.

Two Cool—This time, I embossed the 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White with the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Texture Impressions Folder and mounted it onto a Mossy Meadow card base.

Paper Sampler Square—I selected another pattern of the All is Bright Designer Series Paper for this 3×3" square, then mounted it onto a 3-1/4" x 3-1/4" Real Red. It was wrapped with some Gold Metallic Edge Ribbon. The ribbon is Very Vanilla, but I still think it looks amazing with the lights in this holiday paper!

Sweet Sentiment—The Christmas Traditions sentiment was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink onto Whisper White, then punched with the Christmas Traditions label punch. It's popped up onto a 1-3/4" Circle punch in Real Red cardstock.

Three Cool—I embossed the background with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Texture Impressions Folder and mounted it onto a Shaded Spruce card base.

Paper Sampler Square—I chose a square of Joyous Noel Designer Series Paper for this 3×3" square, then mounted it onto a 3-1/4" x 3-1/4" Cherry Cobbler. It was wrapped with the Shaded Spruce ribbon from the Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack.

Sweet Sentiment—The Christmas Traditions sentiment was stamped in Shaded Spruce ink and it's popped up onto a Cherry Cobbler 1-3/4" Circle.

Four Cool—I embossed the final card using the Seaside Texture Impressions Folder and mounted it onto a Merry Merlot card base.

Paper Sampler Square—This last card has another gorgeous pattern from the Joyous Noel Designer Series Paper for this 3×3" square. It's mounted it onto a Gray Granite mat. It was wrapped with the Merry Merlot & Copper Reversible Ribbon.
