Elena created a holiday card that is so festive and fun! She paired Giant Be Merry with the cutest Build-A-Snowman and lots of cheery holiday color! I love that she used Winter Wonderland Window as a frame and filled it with Quilted Diamond Backdrop. Then she added a Christmas Garland and a candy cane from Build-A-House Gingerbread Add-On to create even more holiday fun!


Tammy‘s Frosty Family scene is so adorable filling up the length of this slimline card! She used All the Sparkles paper in the background for lots of shine in the winter sky!


Then she gold embossed the beautiful greeting from Big Messages: Christmas on vellum to add to the Build-A-Snow Globe!


Giant Be Merry and Quilted Diamond Backdrop are an elegant combination on Elise‘s beautiful card!


The glittery gold shadow behind Giant Be Merry adds to the elegance of Elise’s design!


Lynnette‘s simple Cozy Cats card design is so pretty with the stunning Quilted Diamond Backdrop!


How sweet is this Mice on Ice card by Mindy! I love how she used Riverside Backdrop: Portrait for the ice. And the Giant Be Merry is so frosty and perfect as the holiday greeting!


And this Christmas card by Mindy is so gorgeous! I love how she created a shaker card with Forest Backdrop, silver snowflakes and a pretty bow from Cute Candy Canes! The Big Messages: Christmas greeting looks so amazing white embossed on the acetate shaker window!


Grace got so creative with her Giant Be Merry card! She used our new Build-A-Fox set, turning the critter into a cat who looks so cozy in the new Christmas Stocking!


Latisha‘s Big Messages: Christmas card is so stylish with gold metallic accents from Christmas Garland and just a peek of the Nordic Snowflake Border!


Melissa created whimsical fun for her Christmas card by cutting Giant Be Merry from our Candy Cane Lane paper! And then the Quilted Diamond Backdrop and All the Sparkles paper add just the right amount of sparkling to detail!


Rebecca’s simple design has so much impact with the gold embossed Big Messages: Christmas greeting! And there’s lots of colorful holiday fun with our new String of Lights Background Stencils!


Audrey‘s design is so classic with Giant Be Merry and Quilted Diamond Backdrop! Then she added holly and snowflakes along with the bells from Christmas Stocking for lots of festive holiday detail!


Chari combined Giant Be Merry with Village Hillside Border and Nordic Snowflake Border to create an eye-catching Christmas card!
