Heart of Christmas – Regal Winter
Hi there
Welcome to another week of Heart of Christmas. Each week, the talented ladies from the Art with Heart team will bring you inspiration for your holiday craft projects.
This week I have gone a little left field! I was looking through the lovely designs of the Regal Winter Designer Series Paper and thought a couple of the designs would work on a Christmas card, so that is what I have created for you today.
What do you think, is it Christmassy? I love the richness of the Pretty Peacock plaid design and the lush colours in the floral design. It is a simple layout that is perfect for using your patterned paper. I cut each design card-front size and then on the diagonal, so you get 2 cards when your designs are not directional. I added a strip of the Cherry Cobbler glimmer from the Festive Glimmer Paper pack across the diagonal for sparkle (it is very sparkly in real life). The ‘Christmas’ greeting was cropped from Gold Foil using the Peaceful Season Dies and I stamped the ‘MERRY’ from the Greetings of the Season stamp set in Real Red ink and trimmed it closely and popped it up. The holly leaves were cropped from Lost Lagoon cardstock using the Hang an Ornament Dies and I sponged the edges with Pretty Peacock ink and add the Cherry Cobbler berries.
For the inside, I have a Pretty Peacock mat for the writing panel and I added a strip of the floral paper on the right and and another set of holly leaves in the corner.

This is lovely Judy. I hadn’t been game to use that sheet of paper yet, but you have toned it down really nicely. I definitely think it is Christmassy!
I love your Christmas card Judy. Yes, the Regal Winter DSP is great for Christmas. I adore the florals and rich colours. Your simple layout allows the beauty of the DSP to shine. The touches of glimmer and foil are special together with the holly and berries. Love it. xxx
Simple but super effective card, Judy. Great use of the non-directional designer papers and love the glimmer strip and gold foil sentiment. Beautiful festive card.
What a great card Judy, yes it is Christmassy enough. I think the DSP is great and especially in the warmer climates this would be a perfect card. Love it.
