Elegant Christmas Cards with the Traditions of Christmas Suite (Plus HUGE Black Friday Deals!)

 **Elegant Christmas Cards with the Traditions of Christmas Suite

3 Simple Designs + Black Friday Savings You Don’t Want to Miss**

If you love fast, elegant Christmas cards, the Traditions of Christmas Suite is going to be your new best friend. This suite is loaded — two bundles, stunning paper, sparkling sequins, and ribbon with the prettiest shimmer. I used all of it in my live this week to create three simple-but-stunning cards you can recreate in no time.

And before we jump in… heads up. Black Friday is coming with some SERIOUS savings on crafting essentials — including Stampin’ Blends, ink bundles, trimmers, adhesives, cardstock, and more. Keep scrolling for full details plus my own Mystery Box special running Black Friday through Cyber Monday!

Let’s dive into the projects.

Card 1: Merry & Bright (Bubble Bath + Classic Red)

This first card shows off two of my favorite things: a non-traditional Christmas color and paper that does all the work for you.

I paired Bubble Bath with the rich reds in the DSP, wrapped a Real Red ribbon around the panel, and popped on a die-cut sentiment from the Traditional Labels dies. A few of the gold Traditional Sparkling Sequins finish the whole thing.

Why this card works:

Minimal measuring

Paper does the heavy lifting

Ribbon hides the seam (love that trick!)

Card 2: Seasons Greetings Floral Spray

This one looks fancy — but it’s just stamped, filled in with coordinating stamps, and die-cut. No complicated coloring, unless you want to pull out your Blends.

The Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder adds texture, the Christmas Greenery dies give you the perfect sprigs, and the gold Mix & Match ephemera sentiment ties it all together.

Quick Tip:

If the die-cut sprigs are too long, give them a haircut. No one will know but us.

Card 3: Layered Floral Season’s Greetings (Featuring Vellum!)

If you missed it — yes, vellum is back! And it's now 12×12 and it is perfect for softening busy patterned paper.

I used the bouquet images straight from the DSP (thank you, Stampin’ Up! for matching dies to paper!) and layered the vellum behind it for a soft glow. A big Season’s Greetings banner and a few sequins make this one feel special without any extra work.

What I love here:

Zero stamping for the main image

Vellum instantly elevates your layout

Die-cutting from the DSP = fast cards
