The Leaves of Holly stamp set, coordinating dies, and Boughs of Holly patterned paper are perfect for creating beautiful handmade Christmas cards. These cards were simple to make and absolutely elegant when finished. These holiday cards will be sure to get a special place on someone's mantel when you make them for your friends and family.

​I shared exactly how to make two of these cards during my weekly Thursday night live. If you missed it, check out the video. I've got lots of stamping tips and techniques that I share throughout the video tutorial.

I've got more photos and the supply list for these cards below. If you'd like more ideas for Christmas cards, be sure to subscribe to my email newsletter because I'll be sharing more holiday cards during the coming weeks. Plus, I send out a free tutorial every week. 

​Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Joy & Peace this Holiday

This is one of the cards that I shared during my live event. I absolutely love this label die with the holly leaves on the side. There is an additional die that will add a solid piece below the holly leaves, but I wanted to leave them open on this card.

I stamped two additional holly leaves with Old Olive and Mossy Meadow. I cut these out with the dies as well and added them below the label. 

For the ribbon on this card, I simply laid the Sahara Sand ribbon on the patterned paper and taped it on the back. This is a quick way to add ribbon to a card because you don't have to tie it. And, it doesn't use very much ribbon!

Perfect Poinsettias for the Holidays

I did very little stamping on this card. The only stamping is the sentiment that I stamped in Shaded Spruce on a die-cut tag. The gorgeous poinsettias on the front of this card were cut from one of the pieces of Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper. Now, there isn't a die for these flowers, but they were pretty easy to cut out.

Do you notice the beautiful gold swirls on this card? These will be available starting November 1. And will only be available while supplies last. I have a feeling that these gorgeous swirls are going to go fast! They are so bright and shiny. 

I pulled apart a piece of twine and a piece of the gold Simply Elegant Trim to add the bow to the front. I love the shabby chic look of twine and gold. 

Christmas Wishes

I didn't share how to make this card during my live event, but I think you can figure out how to put it together! It relies on the gorgeous dies that are available in the Holly Berry die set. I used both of the label dies in the set and layered them. 

You can see the layer that I placed under the holly on the label. Like I mentioned earlier, this can be cut with one of the dies as well. The open holly leaves on this card can also fit over the solid holly leaves dies that cut out the stamped images. This way, you could create holly leaves out of cardstock without stamping. I decided to leave them open on this card though.
