This 5 minute Christmas card tutorial will create a quick wow card sure to impress friends and family this holiday season. The beautiful “All is Bright” designer paper is the focal point of today’s Christmas card and is trimmed with strips of gold glimmer paper. Enhance with metallic details (which are huge this year!) by adding a head embossed greeting, metallic pearls and metallic threads.
During today’s Christmas card tutorial, I’ll provide tips for flawless heat embossing as well as a tip on building your own greeting using the words in the “Merry Christmas to All” stamp set. This stamp set is also offered as a Bundle which coordinating framelits. Purchase these two products as a Bundle will provide a 10% savings. I’ve included a picture of the Bundle in the supplies below.
Beautiful Christmas cards don’t have to take lots of time to complete. Stampin’ Up! has done an extraordinary job on creating beautiful designer papers that can easily do the work for you. Add a greeting and perhaps a small embellishment and you’ll have your holiday cards created in record time.

Lisa,this is simply stunning
Now I only wish I could purchase a pack of this page of paper but I know I will love the others just as much
The entire package of this designer paper is beautiful, Lynn. Thanks for watching. I’m so glad you liked the card.
Very pretty card. Is the glimmer paper as messy as the glitter paper. I hate having glitter all over me and my house when I use it
Hi Pat! The Glimmer Paper is not messy. Stampin’ Up! reformulated the paper this year to remove the slick paper backing which makes it so much easier to die cut and I’ve noticed, too, that the glimmer is really beautiful and lots less messy. I am loving it! Thanks for your comment.
Such a beautiful card. I love that patterned paper. I really like that you left a thin white strip between the pattern paper and the glitter paper. The overall design is just gorgeous. Thanks for joining us for the Bling It On challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
