If you’re looking for a Christmas card design that is quick to create but still full of shimmer and texture, this one is a winner! Using Dina Wakley’s Starry Holiday collection by Spellbinders, you can easily mass-produce cards using Stars & Fronds 3D Embossing Folder
Supplies:
Colorwheel Cardstock: Indigo, Purple, Sea Glass (4 ¼” x 5 ½” panels)
White Pigment Ink
Metallic Silver Ink
Black Foam (for stacked sentiment)
Splatter White (for spattering)
Process:
Emboss the Panels
Cut three panels of cardstock (Indigo, Purple, Sea Glass) to A2 size (4 ¼” x 5 ½”).
Emboss each panel with the Stars & Fronds 3D Embossing Folder for instant festive texture.
Highlight the Embossing
Lightly rub white pigment ink across the raised areas to create a soft, snowy look.
Reapply ink with metallic silver for a beautiful shimmer.
Ink the panel edges with metallic silver for a finished look.
Create the Splatter Effect
Use a fan brush to apply Splatter White across the background to mimic falling snow.
Foil and Die-Cut the Sentiment
Hot foil the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Starry Merry Christmas Registration Press Plate & Die Set with Speckled Prism Silver Hot Foil.
Die cut the sentiment and a matching piece of black foam, then stack them together for dimension.
Assemble the Card
Adhere the embossed panel to an A2 card base.
Attach the stacked sentiment to the center for a bold focal point.
Why This Design Works for Mass Production 🎯
This design is assembly-line friendly: emboss, ink, splatter, foil, and stack your sentiments in batches. Each step is quick, and the results look incredibly polished — perfect for sending to everyone on your Christmas list!
💡 Tip: Try this in other non-traditional colors like blush, soft gray, or even metallic cardstock for a completely different vibe.
