We can hardly believe it’s already day five of the 12 Days of Holiday Giving 2023! Time flies when you’re inspired! The merry holiday projects continue with cards from Dilay Nacar today, and don’t miss out on the final two prizes of this week filled with generous giveaways from our partners!

Hello and happy holidays, SCT friends! It’s Dilay Nacar here, sharing two fun and colorful holiday cards for the SCT 12 Days of Holiday Giving event! Today’s cards feature products from The Stamps of Life combined with some vibrant patterned paper, and I’m so excited to share them with you! 

Supplies | The Stamps of Life: Rectangles die set, Christmas Fun collection paper pad, Tree and Pond die set, Be Merry serif word die set, Wedding Ring A2 background die set, Christmas add-on dies, Gift die set; Gina K. Designs: Connect Glue; Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: 3D Foam adhesive; Scrapbook & Cards Today: 80lb. white cardstock

This first card features one of my favorite paper patterns and is super easy to recreate! To begin, I die cut a piece of white cardstock using the largest die from the Rectangles die set and die cut the multi-colored stripe paper from the Christmas Fun collection paper pad using the second largest die from the same set and adhered them together. Next, I die cut three trees from the Tree and Pond die set using white cardstock for the trees and shadows. I then die cut the Be Merry serif word die set in gold glitter cardstock and the shadow in white cardstock and adhered that to the center of the striped patterned paper. To finish, I tucked the trees behind the sentiment and adhered them into place. 

The second card is a bit more intricate but equally fun and festive! I began by using the Wedding Ring A2 Background die set to die cut each color of dotted pattern paper from the Christmas Fun collection as well as one additional set in white. I adhered the white set to an A2-sized card base and then inlaid the pieces of dotted paper to create a fun mosaic pattern. 

Next, I flipped through the paper pad and picked out a few pre-colored trees, gift boxes, and stocking images (that coordinate perfectly with the Christmas add-on dies!) to die cut and adhere to the card. I die cut the Be Merry serif word die set in black cardstock and the shadow in white cardstock and adhered that over the images. To finish, I die cut a gold bow from the Gift die set and tucked that in behind the sentiment!

I hope you are inspired by my cards today! Thank you for stopping by and joining us during this amazing holiday event! Wishing you all a magical and festive holiday season!
