Whimsical Handmade Christmas Card
I just love this Whimsical Handmade Christmas Card featuring the Santa Express patterned paper and Trees for Sale Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! You’ll love using the playful images of Santa and Mrs. Claus, candy canes in fields of white snow, and piles of presents to decorate your Christmas gifts. This set of paper features a traditional Christmas color palette of red and green with a twist of light pink and lime green for a modern touch.
