Wrapped in Joy (And Just a Hint of Glitter)
There’s nothing like a burst of festive red, a whisper of gold sparkle, and a whole lot of holiday cheer to remind you that cardmaking season is officially in full swing!
Today’s card brings together the perfect blend of classic Christmas elegance and crafty delight. With its soft embossed arch, bold pop of festive red, and just a whisper of gold sparkle, it’s the kind of design that makes you feel like you’ve been upgraded to the VIP section of the holiday season.
The focal point of this design is the stunning nested arch panel, embossed with a delicate wintery pattern that practically whispers frost-kissed sophistication. Layered on top is that bold, swoopy red “joy” die cut—because if you can’t go big on joy at Christmas, when can you?
Below it sits a cheerful poinsettia cluster complete with holly leaves, evergreen sprigs, and a touch of gold thread (which, fun fact, will 100% cling to you for the rest of the day like a festive little reminder of your craft session).
Inside this lovely layout is the perfect sentiment stamp: "hoping your holidays are filled with joy". Simple, warm, and exactly the kind of wish we all want tucked into our mailbox this time of year. This sentiment along with the “Joy” die cut come Colorado Craft Company -
