Joy To You Stamp Set by Stampin Up
The festive season is just around the corner, and what better way to spread the holiday cheer than with handmade cards from the Joy to You Stamp Set by Stampin Up? If you’re a crafty soul eager to send out personalized wishes, you’re in the right spot!
I started with a very simple card design and then paired it with some beautiful paper. By using the colors in the paper, I was able make the color coordination super simple, but if you’d prefer a different color palette, make sure you check out my Color Combination Library for lots of color inspiration. Let’s dive into crafting a magical Christmas card that will stand out in your loved ones’ mailboxes.

A Tip from Barb
This is the perfect card sketch for whenever you have some pretty paper you’d like to use! If you don’t have a Cut & Emboss Machine or a different Embossing Folder you can use, just eliminate that step from the card. It will still look great!
