Have a HoHoHomazing Christmas! - Festive Card Inspiration

Today I’m sharing a sweet and festive Christmas card featuring
one of the new Mabel Holiday Printable Bundles from 




I had so much fun bringing this design to life with classic holiday colors,
lots of layering, and a touch of sparkle!
For the background, I used a red-and-green striped paper from the bundle. 
It is matted with green card stock and adhered to red glitter card stock on the card base.
 I then added a scalloped stitched frame in deep green to anchor the focal point.

The star of the card is "Mabel", all dressed up for Christmas in her polka-dot dress, 
cozy boots, and a gorgeous flower crown.
 I colored her in warm, soft tones to match the vintage feel of the paper. 
To complement her floral crown, 
I tucked in a cluster of poinsettias and holly leaves in the upper corner,
 which is pussycat from another of the papers included in the bundle.
—perfect for adding dimension and seasonal charm.

The playful sentiment, “Have a HoHoHomazing Christmas!”, also from the bundle,
ties everything together and adds a fun, cheerful touch.

A few pearls in the upper corner finish the design and add just the right pop of shine.
This card was such a joy to create, and I hope it brings a little extra holiday cheer your way!

Happy crafting! 🎄✨
