Looking for a quick and easy way to spread Christmas cheer? This handmade Christmas card is perfect for anyone who enjoys the simplicity of stamping but still wants an eye-catching design. I used the Stampin’ Up! Filled with Cheer Stamp Set, combining festive poinsettias and gift images with vibrant colors. The best part? It’s a SIP card—stamps, ink, and paper only! No extra embellishments like bling, punches, or die-cuts are needed for this card to make a festive impact.
Did you see the first poinsettias and presents Christmas card I made? I also used the Take a Bow 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the same colors for the focal point. It was a bit more involved with die-cutting and embellishments, and the card base turned into a landscape card instead of a portrait. It’s interesting how you can use the same elements and still have two different card designs.
The Card Elements:
- Stamps: Filled with Cheer (poinsettias and presents)
- Ink: Red, green, blue, and yellow Stampin’ Blends (bright and cheerful Christmas hues)
- Paper: The perfect plaid scrapbooking paper ties everything together, giving the card a fun holiday feel.
Stampin’ Blends (Stampin’ Up! alcohol markers) provided the vibrant colors and shading. See them in action with my melting snowman Christmas card tutorial here.
Why I Love SIP Cards
SIP cards are all about simplicity, focusing on basic stamping techniques and bringing out the beauty in the stamped images themselves. This card showcases how stamps and ink can do all the heavy lifting without extra frills! Plus, it’s a great way to create multiple cards in a short time for the busy holiday season.

Tips for Making Your Own:
- Choose a strong focal point like I did with the poinsettias and gifts.
- Keep the layout simple and let the patterned paper provide contrast.
- Mix and match colors that pop against your background paper.
