It’s the most wonderful time of year and we’re about to make it even better! That’s right, we’re gifting you with a massive 450 cardmaking freebies. Here you’ll find all of the toppers, sentiments and papers you could need for the festive season. The offering includes 200 digi stamps, 64 toppers, 150 free papers and more. You’re welcome!
Build scenes
Use collections of coordinating digi stamps to make whimsical settings. Why not try your hand at shadow cards when using them too? Fix layers of card and acetate together to give the illusion of depth and bring your card scenes to life.
Sentiments
No card is complete without a lovingly picked message. Spell it out this Christmas with everything from alphabet digi stamps to heartfelt festive greetings.
Traditional motifs
What says Christmas more than holly leaves, figgy puddings and the fairy on top of the Christmas tree? Go to town and craft traditional greetings using our fabulous digi stamps. Simply download, print and get colouring.
Cute characters
Print, colour and decorate your designs with cheery snowmen, Santa’s elves and, of course, Rudolph. You can use them as toppers on your greetings, or even cut them out with a border so you can punch a hole and create gift tags.
Oh Christmas tree
What’s a Christmas card without a festive fern? Adorn your greetings with decorative tree and bauble digi stamps. You’ll have hours of fun colouring them in. Don’t forget to put a fairy on top of the tree too.
Paper stash
Head over to our blog to download a whopping 150 free papers! You’ll never be stuck for backgrounds or gift wrap again. Simply download and print the pages as many times as you like.
Colouring pages
If you’ve started your Christmas crafting early why not spend some time colouring these fabulously festive illustrations? Once you’ve added colour you can trim and mount them onto blanks. If you’re strapped for time, try adding colour to the designs on a programme on your computer such as Microsoft Paint, print them out, then fix to card.
Toppers
Us crafters love a topper. You can stick them to cards, turn them into tags, or even fix them to cocktail sticks to create cake decorations. What’s more, if you’re short on time they’re super speedy to use when making last-minute greetings.
Want even more festive freebies? Enter our Christmas Cardmaker of the Year competition by 7th October 2018 and you’ll receive a digital Christmas cardmaking pack.
