This Peace On Earth Handmade Christmas Card Idea by Stampin’ Up!® is the kind of project that reminds you how peaceful creating can be. There’s something so calming about soft greens, soaring white doves, and a simple message that says it all — Peace, Love & Joy. Whether you’re making a batch of Christmas cards or need a thoughtful design for someone who could use a little hope, this bundle delivers that perfect mix of elegance and ease.
The Peace on Earth Bundle combines timeless sentiments with graceful imagery. The stamp set includes heartfelt messages that work beautifully for Christmas, sympathy, or thinking-of-you cards — and the coordinating dies take your projects from simple to stunning in seconds. Those two doves? They’re not just for the holidays — they’re a universal symbol of love and tranquility, perfect for year-round cards that speak from the heart.
This project is simple enough for beginners but still satisfying for experienced stampers who love a clean, modern style with classic holiday charm.
Let’s Talk About Color!
This color palette is as soothing as a quiet winter morning — Pretty Peacock, Garden Green, and Soft Sea Foam. These shades balance depth and softness beautifully, giving the card a polished, peaceful look that never feels overdone. The contrast between the bold base and airy doves keeps the design grounded while letting your sentiment shine.
To create this card, start with a base of Pretty Peacock cardstock for a rich, elegant backdrop. Then I added a soft panel in Soft Sea Foam, layered with Garden Green die-cut branches to bring in natural texture. The white doves and sentiment strip keep the design crisp and serene, making it easy to mass-produce thanks to the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

Design Tips
- Use Dimensionals behind the doves for a soft shadow effect that makes them “take flight.”
- Keep embellishments minimal — the clean lines and textures do the talking here.
- Try swapping out the sentiment for one of the “Thinking of You” options to create a year-round design.
