Kelly Lunceford brings classic Christmas style to life with this elegant Wishing You a Cozy Christmas Card. 🎄✨ Rich Olive Twist and Scarlet Jewel create a beautiful twist on traditional holiday colors, while the champagne foiled background adds a touch of festive shine. Layered holly, berries, a dimensional bow, and a sweet little house come together to create a warm, cozy design filled with texture and seasonal charm.
Kelly shares, “Pattern, layers, texture, and shine…all the hallmarks of a classically designed Christmas card! Olive and Scarlet are always a fun twist on the traditional red and green color combination! Follow along with me step-by-step as this card comes together in seven easy steps!”
Step 1: Foil a panel of Olive Twist cardstock with champagne foil. Trim it down close to the foiled design. Blend Olive Twist ink around the 4 corners.
Step 2: Add a 1 inch strip of plaid pattern paper to the center and attach the background panel to an A2-sized piece of Scarlet Jewel cardstock. Glue it to an A2 card base.
Step 3: Cut the mat from Olive Twist cardstock and blend the same color ink around the edges. Heat emboss the sentiment and adhere it to the background panel using foam squares.
Step 4: Cut and color all of the pieces for the Holly and berries. Spritz them with distress spray and arrange around the edges.
Step 5: Cut a circle and the house. Assemble them together and place it above the sentiment using foam squares.
Step 6: Cut and assemble the bow and adhere it to the card. Apply glitter to the berries and leaves.
Step 7: Decorate the inside with leftover foliage and berries along with an inside greeting.
This Wishing You a Cozy Christmas Card is a beautiful example of how classic holiday elements can be combined with unexpected colors for a fresh seasonal design. ❤️ The champagne foil, plaid accent, layered holly and berries, dimensional bow, and little house create plenty of texture and interest while keeping the sentiment at the heart of the card. Take inspiration from Kelly’s design and experiment with your own color combinations, layers, and holiday details for a Christmas card that feels warm and personal.
