Quick and Simple Noel Christmas Card Design

This card focuses on simplicity, making it ideal for busy crafting sessions:

Step-by-Step: How to Make This Noel Christmas Card

To create this elegant Noel Christmas card, follow the steps below. This design is intentionally quick and simple, making it ideal for batch making or when time is limited.

1. Create the card base
   Cut white cardstock to form your card base. A clean white base helps keep the design fresh and allows the soft pink and gold elements to shine.
2. Add the gold, pink and white layers
   Cut a panel from gold cardstock and adhere to the card front. Then trim a panel of soft pink cardstock slightly smaller than the card front and adhere it directly to the base. To complete the card base cut another panel 1/8″ smaller out of white cardstock and add to the previous layers. Keeping these layers flat maintains a clean and modern look.
3. Prepare the gold outer frame
   Cut a hemstitch frame out of gold cardstock and adhere to the card base with foam tape. This frame will house the sentiment and provides contrast against the pink background.
4. Add more texure and frame to the i
5. Cut a decorative panel out of pearl cardstock and then add a white shadow for inside the gold frame. Die cut a scallop frame from pearl cardstock and add around the decorative panel with foam tape.
6. Add the Noel sentiment
   Die cut the Noel sentiment in gold and white, stack together and then add to the centre of the frame over the decorative panel onto the white panel. Inlay some pink cardstock to the bauble and use Glossy Accents to add some ultrafine glitter for some sparkle.
7. Finish with birds, poinsettias and holly
   Complete the card with pearl poinsettias, green holiday and white and gold birds and some pink iridescent gems.. These final touches add festive shine without overpowering the design.
