This 6″ x 6″ package of double-sided designer paper boasts traditional red and greens and patterns that are perfect for card fronts (or card insides!) and to use on scrapbooks of any size! And the best part of this package are the color coordinated laser cut images. Take a look at the wreath I made using the laser cut pieces!

The Traditional Labels Bundle has been one I’ve used over and over again while creating my holiday cards. I love the assortment of labels shapes and sizes and the greetings can be mixed and matched.

The Inside Scoop

The best part of a fancy fold card is always the inside and this one doesn’t disappoint! While this 3D look may seem daunting, it’s not. That’s the best part of this stunning fold.

Jolly Delivery

Talking about laser cut designer paper pieces? This card features some, too. The entire front of this card is comprised of pre-colored laser cut images that I used to create this scene.

The inside of this card uses a different color cardstock which allows for the theme of the North Pole Delivery designer paper to really shine.

I always select my DSP first before choosing my stamps and cardstock colors. The color coordination with Stampin’ Up! is amazing and allows for a cohesive, professional feel for all your handmade cards.

3d card

The images on the inside of this card are all stamped and colored. The stamps and dies coordinate with the laser cut pieces making mixing and matching quick and easy.

I added torn a few pieces of white cardstock scrap and used them as snowbanks. One was placed on the front to hold the sentiment and a few images. Create the perfect 3D look by staggering your favorite images – or in this case – snowbanks – to create a one-of-a-kind card.
