Kia ora Koutou Meri Kirihimete from Aoteraroa New Zealand

There’s something timeless about a blue, white, and silver Christmas colour palette. Paired with delicate birds and shimmering hot foiled details, this card design feels peaceful, elegant, and perfect for the festive season. Today I’m sharing a clean and simple Christmas card that lets the foiling shine while keeping the overall design quick and achievable.

Why Blue, White & Silver for Christmas?

While red and green will always be classic, but blue and silver create a calm, wintery look that feels both modern and sophisticated. Adding birds brings a gentle, symbolic touch—perfect for meaningful Christmas cards sent to loved ones.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creation.

Card Design Details

  • Style: Clean and simple, elegant
  • Colour Palette: Soft blue, crisp white, silver
  • Theme: Winter birds, peaceful Christmas
  • Techniques: Hot foiling, simple layering, die cutting
  • Card Size: 5 1/2′ x 5 1/2″ square

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Card Base
Create a top white card base. Trim a panel of blue cardstock slightly smaller and adhere it to the front. Then add texture with a white panel that has been embossed with a Christmas theme embossing folder.

Hot Foil the Sentiment
Hot foil your Christmas sentiment onto smooth white cardstock using silver foil. Trim or die-cut once cooled. Trim to fit the white embossed panel.

Die Cut Two Frames

Die cut a decorative frame out of silver cardstock and stack it with another white frame and then add around the hot foiled sentiment and trim to fit so you can still see all the beautiful embossed details. Die cut another hemstitched square frame out of silver cardstock and adhere directly over the white panel with some foam strips for more dimension.

Create the Bird Feature
Die cut or stamp your birds from white and blue cardstock. Trim the dies to get the blue and white birds to keep the look cohesive and gentle.

Assemble the Design
Adhere the bird elements at the base of the outer square frame so as the birds do not hide the sentiment.

Add the Poinsettias and Holly Leaves.
Use pearl card for the poinsettias and add some subtle blue shading. After assembling adhere to the base of the frame and add some green holly leaves..

Finish with Subtle Details
Add a few clear gems for a hint of sparkle. Keep embellishments minimal to maintain the clean look.

    Design Tips

    • Use smooth cardstock for the best hot foiling results
    • Let the silver foil be the star—avoid too many competing textures
    • Keep embellishments minimal for an elegant finish
    • This design works beautifully for mass-produced Christmas cards
    • Emboss your dies for extra texture and dimension

    Final Thoughts

    This blue, white, and silver Christmas card with hot foiled birds is perfect if you love understated elegance with just the right amount of shine. It’s a design that feels peaceful, wintery, and special—ideal for sending warm Christmas wishes in a classic way.

    This post is very difficult to write as I remember my aunt who passed away in June this year. She was like a mother to me and I have so many happy memories of all the times we had together and especially at Christmas. This was the last card I made for her and it stayed out in her room at the rest home until she died. We did a lot of crafting together as she was so creative and artistic and she loved her gardening hence all the flowers on this card.

    I miss my aunt so much but I know that she is in a better place now and free of pain.

    Elegant Christmas cards don’t need to be complicated or very big. By combining a simple decorative dies and frames with a cohesive colour palette, this Noel card feels polished, festive, and timeless. The touch of gold adds a hint of luxury, while the pink and white keep everything light and modern. Add some sweet birds and soft pink and green flowers and foliage for the perfect finishing touches.

    Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creation.

    Quick and Simple Noel Christmas Card Design

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

    • Minimal layers for a clean and uncluttered look
    • A bold Noel sentiment as the focal point
    • Gold accents to add elegance without overwhelming the design
    • Soft pink cardstock to give a modern, non-traditional Christmas feel

    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.

    Handmade Pink Christmas Card Idea: Birds, Poinsettias, Deer & Hot-Foiled Sentiment Tutorial

    On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

    Kia ora Koutou

    If you’re searching for a handmade Christmas card idea that feels soft, elegant and a non-traditional, this pink, white and glitter-gold design is perfect for your holiday crafting. In this tutorial, I’m sharing how I created a festive card featuring birds, poinsettias, a graceful deer and a hot-foiled sentiment — all combined to create a modern yet classic Christmas look.

    Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creation.

    The Inspiration

    This colour palette — pink, white and glitter gold — adds a fresh, feminine twist to traditional Christmas themes. The warm gold sparkle pairs beautifully with soft pinks and crisp winter whites, making the whole card feel bright, polished and luxurious.

    Adding birds and a deer brings in a peaceful woodland touch, while the hot-foiled sentiment delivers that professional, high-end shine.

    The Design

    I started with a crisp white base and added layers of soft pink and white cardstock for a gentle, wintry glow. Then I added a gorgeous swirled white frame with a shadow of pink to frame the star elements of poinsettias, birdies and a sweet deer and a lovely bow. Add a sparkly hot foiled sentiment in a gorgeous white frame and you have a card that will delight your friends and family and become a family keepsake.

    1. Build the Base Layer

    Start with a clean white card base. Add layers of soft pink and white cardstocks to create a warm, modern backdrop. For extra sparkle I have added glitter-gold cardstock over the top white layer to add some oomph to the background. Use foam tape to add depth and dimension to the layers for extra interest.

    Die cut a decorative white frame shadowed with pink cardstock to the front of the card and then add another elegant hemstitched square frame in white shadowed with glittery gold to the top with foam tape for extra dimension.

    2. Hot-Foil the Sentiment

    Choose a festive sentiment—“Merry Christmas,” “Season’s Greetings,” or “Peace & Joy.” Here I have used a decorative hot foil plate with flourishes, a sparkly snowflake in the centre, and a Christmas greeting in a framed circle. Hot-foil it in glittering gold for maximum shine. This step elevates the entire card and adds that luxury, boutique-card finish.

    3. Create the Poinsettias

    Die-cut the poinsettias in pearlised card and colour with soft pink ink, then layer them before adding to the bottom left of the frame. Add pink irridescent gems to the centres of the flowers for extra sparkly accents. Using a pearl card for the flowers adds shine to the card and adds to the luxury feel of the card.

    4. Add the Birds and Deer

    Arrange two small birds nestled among the poinsettias on an elegant sparkly gold and white flourish to bring charm and movement to the design. And then place a delicate deer silhouette with glittery gold antlers on the other side of the frame. The woodland mix adds balance and a peaceful Christmas feel.

    5. Add Finishing Details

    A pretty glittery gold bow with a pink iridescent gem in the middle was added to the top of the inner frame to create a festive feel to the card.

    Soft pink gems were also added to the centre of the foiled snowflake and around the corners inside the frame.

    Pro tip

    Stack two die cuts for the birds, deer, antlers and bow together for extra strength when adding around a frame.

    This card is soft, festive, elegant—and full of Christmas sparkle. Perfect for anyone who loves a modern yet whimsical holiday aesthetic.

    A Serene Blue, White & Silver Christmas Card Featuring an Elegant Angel & Pearlescent Poinsettias

    On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations1 Comment
    Image

    Kia ora Koutou

    There’s something truly magical about mixing cool winter tones with a touch of festive sparkle and shine—and today’s handmade Christmas card captures that beautifully. This project brings together serene blues, crisp white, shimmering and sparkling silver, and an angel motif, all accented with pearlescent poinsettias for a design that feels both elegant and joyfully festive.

    Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creation.

    The Inspiration

    For this card, I wanted to create a peaceful and serene feel—something that reflects the quiet wonder of Christmas. Soft blue cardstock sets the scene like soft moonlight, while the white and silver layers add brightness and contrast. The angel takes centre stage, surrounded by sparkle, shimmer and florals that almost glow.

    The Design

    ✨ Blue & White Background Layers
    Stacked layers of silver sparkle, white and soft blue create the base for this elegant card. To add a softness and some texture an embossed layer of vellum completed the background for a white die cut frame added with some foam strips for dimension.

    ✨ Silver Foil & Accents
    Silver brings instant elegance and is perfect with a blue and white theme. Silver sparkly foliage, matte silver holly leaves ties the whole card together.

    ✨ Sparkling Poinsettias
    Die-cut poinsettias in pearl card add lustre without overwhelming the angel. The poinsettias were coloured with blue ink to give a lovely blue shimmery flower. Layering the petals adds texture, and a silver sparkly centre topped with a pearl brings everything together.

    ✨ Shimmering Angel Focal Point
    The die cut angel with silver sparkly wings, a white dress and pearl beading becomes the gentle highlight of the card. Add a silver thread bow and it appears to be suspended from the flowers and foliage.

    Finishing Touches

    Some pearls on the angel and a sparkly festive sentiment complete the card with just the right amount of Christmas sparkle and shine. The final look is soft, elegant and full of festive charm.

    Perfect For…

    This card is ideal for anyone who loves traditional Christmas symbolism paired with modern elegance. It’s beautiful for sending holiday blessings, sharing peace and hope, or adding a handmade touch to your gift-giving.

    I’d love to know — do you mix and match textures using different specialty card?

    “Clean & Simple Christmas Magic: Sparkly Red Poinsettia Card”

    On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment
    Image

    Kia ora Koutou

    There’s something truly magical about Christmas crafting when clean and simple design meets a touch of festive sparkle. Today I’m sharing a beautifully elegant Christmas card featuring sparkly red poinsettias, crisp white space, and just the right hint of gold with a hot foiled background full of flourishes. It’s classic, timeless, and surprisingly easy to create and mass produce.

    Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creation.

    The Inspiration

    This hot foil plate set is designed to create envelopes but I wanted to use this to create a fun Christmas card instead. Adding a gold postage edge base creates the feeling of an envelope and as a postage stamp. Adding some gold highlights and some sparkle with red poinsettias and berries brought this card together. And this card was so quick and easy to make when time is starting to run out…

    The Design

    🌺 Creating the Sparkly Poinsettias

    For the focal point, I used red glitter cardstock to die-cut the poinsettias. The sparkle catches the light in the most beautiful way, making the flowers look festive without the mess of loose glitter. Layering the petals adds texture, and a small gold centre brings everything together.

    ✨ Adding Touches of Gold

    Gold pairs effortlessly with both red and white, so it’s the perfect choice for accents. I used a gold-foiled sentiment with a corner flourish, some die cut flourishes and gold holly leaves on a gold postage edge card to lift the card for a luxurious finish.

    🌟 Keeping It Clean & Simple

    The hot foiled design on the background is key—it gives the design breathing room and sets the them of the card. Keep embellishments minimal, and leave plenty of white space. A simple postage edge shaped card is enough to add interest without shifting the design away from CAS.

    💡 Perfect for Mass Production

    This is a great card design if you’re creating your Christmas cards in batches. Once the poinsettias are die-cut, and the background is hot foiled assembly is quick and easy. The result is a card that feels thoughtful and elegant, but doesn’t require hours of intricate detail work.

    🎁 Final Thoughts

    If you’re looking for a Christmas card idea that’s clean, modern, and festive with just the right amount of sparkle, this red, white, and gold poinsettia card is a perfect choice. It’s timeless, elegant, and guaranteed to make someone smile when it arrives in their mailbox.

    ❄️ Elegant and Amazing 3D Vignette Christmas Card in White and Blue

    On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment
    Image

    Kia ora Koutou

    I am still in Christmas card making mode and continuing with my obsession with Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette Christmas dies and this 3D Vignette card is one of my favourites .

    💙🤍 With layered white die-cuts, frosty blue highlights, and a few festive accents, it’s elegant, dimensional, and full of Christmas magic. ✨

    Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creation.

    The Inspiration

    I wanted to make something that felt peaceful and sparkly — like a snow-kissed Christmas morning. The 3D vignette style gave me the perfect way to add depth and interest while keeping the design clean and elegant.

    Blue and white always feel so fresh together, and when you add a few little Christmas touches — tiny stars, snowflakes, or silver accents — it turns into something really special.

    The Design

    I built the vignette using several layers of crisp white cardstock, die-cut with intricate arches, gorgeous cut out scenes and a sentiment. Each layer was then assembled using the special side panels to create a beautiful tunnel-style effect.

    To add that winter glow, I ink blended the bottom layer with blue inks to create an ombre effect and then added some pearl snowflakes with a stencil and added some sparkle with glitter.

    The finished 3D Vignette feels almost like looking through a window into a peaceful Christmas scene — delicate, dimensional, and so elegant.

    Finishing Touches

    To bring it all together, I added a soft blue sparkly poinsettia and some Christmas foliage with a pair of sweet birds in white and silver to complete the look.

    It’s one of those cards that you keep turning in the light — every angle reveals something new! 💫

    Elegant Blue, White and Gold Nativity Christmas Card Idea

    On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment
    Image

    Kia ora Koutou

    There’s something so peaceful about a blue, white and gold Christmas card — calm, classic, and timeless. This week, I wanted to capture that feeling in a handmade design that celebrates the true meaning of Christmas — the Nativity. 💙🤍

    Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creation.

    The Inspiration

    When I think of Christmas, I always come back to that serene image of the Nativity — quiet, simple, and full of light. I decided to create a card that reflected that sense of peace using cool winter blues, crisp white, and a touch of gold shimmer and sparkle. The result is an elegant, spiritual design that feels both traditional and modern.

    💡 How I Made It:

    This simply elegant card has been created using just three die sets. Two die sets were designed to work together to create a stunning nativity scene that can be used to create a 3D vignette or just add dimension and depth to a simple card base. Here I have created a nativity vignette using a combination of gold ombre card and white card and then used foam tape for dimension before adding it to the coordinating background frame. Add some pearl poinsettias, sparkly leaves and pearl accents on a embossed vellum background and you have a very elegant Christmas card. 💙💙

    Have you made your Halloween cards yet? Drop a 👻 in the comments if you’re feeling spooky too!

    Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creation.

    💡 How I Made It:

    I started by colouring the ghostly image with Copic markers and then cut the image to create the base of the shaker element. The shaker element is the star of the card — I die cut a frame out of white cardstock, added an ombre purple/blue glittery shadow before adding a clear acetate layer to the back of the frame. I filled this with some hocus pocus Halloween shaker mixes before sealing it up with foam tape onto the coloured image.

    I finished it off with a fun Halloween sentiment and embellished with autumn leaves and a pumpkin as well as a sparkly spider web complete with dangling spiders.

    This ghost shaker card is packed with Halloween fun, dimension and layers, and a playful “Boo!” sentiment — perfect for sending a little Halloween cheer.
