Sometimes the most unexpected layouts turn into the most striking cards! Today’s handmade Christmas card features the Stampin’ Up!® Peace on Earth Dies with an unusual design that shows off several coordinating patterned papers from the September–December 2025 Mini Catalog. The clean layers frame a bold white dove and “O Holy Night” greeting, creating a simple but meaningful card that beautifully captures the season.
