Love a Quick & EASY Holiday Card!

I love when a card design feels effortless but still looks polished and festive. The Bold Baubles stamp set from Unity Stamp Company makes that happen with just a few quick steps. A little paper piecing, some pretty patterned paper, and you’ve got instant holiday cheer without pulling out a single marker.

Holiday Joy

This card came together in no time once I picked out my papers. I used soft mint and coral patterns from Minty Christmas to fill the ornaments for a modern, cheerful vibe. After stamping the baubles directly on the background paper, I layered the paper-pieced versions on top for the perfect decoration. A scalloped edge frame keeps everything neat and sweet. I finished it off with some metallic white watercolor to add a hint of shine to the ornament’s tops and splattered all over.

Creative Tips & Techniques

  • Use Up Scraps: Small patterned bits are perfect for filling in the ornaments.
  • Batch It Out: Stamp several panels and piece them together for quick multiples.
  • Try New Patterns: Mix florals, geometrics, or even text prints for a playful look.
  • Stay Flat for Mailing: Skip the foam tape to make them easy to send.
  • Add Subtle Texture: A light inked background or embossed panel adds just enough interest.
