Today is a very special post. This may just be what you need to jump start your family holiday card design!
DON’T miss the post below for MORE of My Timeless Template peeks!
Nichole asked our team to get some great holiday card ideas together for you! The only stipulation was they had to be able to be mass producible. Nichole has taken each of our Holiday cards and compiled a supply list, with the sketch each of us used for our creation to help you re-create any of the design teams designs SIMPLE and EASY! All the work has been done if you don’t want to think about your holiday layout, and what you need for supplies. They supplies are listed for 25 cards.
Details for my cards and supplies-on Nicholes Blog
I decided that I would use Snowfall & Snowfall additions-to be released tomorrow!
My creations are called Gently Falling Snow because that is what I am reminded of when I look at them. The shimmery white cardstock, and Ocean blue art glitter-like ice, are the perfect pair.
Set of 6
When designing my own holiday cards, I like to keep it as simple as possible and the less layers the better, as I have WAY over 50 to make! 😀
If it’s not fast and easy then its not for me! Mass producing is something I LOATHE. I have to say that playing with all the glitter was fun!
To me its in the little details that make the simple cards POP! I LOVE glitter, and vellum, so those were definitely going to be a part of this years design. The snowflake punch and this set are AWESOME together! I went with the shimmery white cardstock with Encore silver ink and lots of glitter!! Doesn’t is remind you of snow?
My cards were VERY easy this year! Just a couple simple steps.

By layering the 2 dotted square frames from Borders & Corners square set in silver ink, it gives the illusion of layers.
For some POP- I punched my vellum snowflakes, and used the glue pad to stamp the snowflake, then dusted on my glitter. Applied the large snowflake with a dimensional. I also punched a little square, and added a little snowflake to that!
See the dimension.
By adding these 2 layers on dimensionals, my card looks like it took a lot of work when in reality they were very quick.
When these 6 were done I did package them up all nice 😀 You will see that tomorrow!
I hope you like my version of a snowy white Christmas card!
Make sure you check Nicholes blog for all the details!! The release party is TONIGHT! 9pm EST! You know I am over the moon with excitement, so I hope to chat with you then!

I can’t believe there is a punch to punch out a stamped snowflake – how cool is that! I really love the glitter on your cards. I am still too scared to use that much glitter. It sure is pretty though.
What gorgeous cards!
Beautiful cards.
Gorgeous snowflakes. 🙂
It’s OFFICIAL!! I’m making all my Christmas cards this year!!! I have never done it before because I too have alot to send out and never thought I would possibly have the time to do all of them but your snowflake (that and snowmen are my favorite things!) have given me just the inspiration to do it this year!! Can hardly wait until the release party!!!!
Absolutely Beautiful!!!
These are FUN. How come your “simple” cards always look so much better than mine. I do want this stamp set though and that snowflake punch, OOOO and maybe that snowflake set from last month, and the list goes on and ON.

Beautiful set Lauren! I rarely mass produce but if I have to, it better be sweet and simple…lol…like these!
I’ve looked at all the Christmas cards made by Papertrey’s design team and yours are my favorite. The glittered snowflakes are beautiful and I love that stamp set!

The blue and white is always such a nice combo and the glitter makes is extra festive! ♥
One of the things I miss the most about where I live is the gently falling snow of winter. To me, it’s so peaceful and calming to sit and watch it fall gently down. Lauren, your card reminds me of that special time and place in my life. I love it’s sparkle and it’s gentle meaning.
THose are gorgeous!
Great ideas!! Very elegant, but simplistic at the same time.

Very fast and easy card! We all can use that! Love the glitter!
I’m looking forward to the snowflakes punches … and feeling a bit “giddy” about the release tonight!
This card is very pretty. I can’t wait to get the snowflake punch.
Beautiful card! Love the cool blue snowflakes and the dimension you’ve given them.
Just LOVE this card, Lauren! Elegant and I love the sparkle 🙂 Also like how you used the dotted squares as focal points for the snowflakes – I’d love to get one of these as your Christmas card and I’m sure everyone else who receives it will love it too 🙂
I love your cards. They remind me of the beauty of snow. Mass producing is a great idea…saves time and money…not so many unique supplies to buy. I love the glitter also, but glitter scares me….I tend to get it everywhere….no one and no thing are safe from the spread of glitter when I use it….hide the kids….
Your cards are just beautiful. I forget to tell you how pretty your projects are on the other post. I was so amazed by the little crafters I forgot about you. Sorry
Absolutely gorgeous!! Love the big glittery snowflake!!
Lauren this card evokes my memories of the very first snow fall of the season when everything is covered with a sparkle and wonder that is magical. Great job TFS.

These snowflakes, the accents, everything are just wonderful to look at. I can’t wait to see how you put all this together. Looking forward to seeing the templates and what else you make coming up. You are truly inspiring to me.
Blue and white reminds me of my Kansas snow days when I was a child – blue skies and white shimmering snowflakes with blue reflections from the sky! Very lovely snowflakes indeed. Was dreaming about these last night, believe it or not when I first saw these.
