My Card — a Jolly Delivery Christmas

For my card, I went full cute-cozy Christmas delivery vibes 🐻🐶📬 — featuring sweet animal friends bringing Christmas goodies! I paired the colour palette with comfy kraft tones, a textured background, and adorable stamped & coloured elements. It feels playful, warm, and nostalgic all at once.

Christmas card featuring a polar bear and dachshund delivering presents, created using Stampin’ Up! products. Card front includes textured kraft background, scalloped postage-style die cut, coloured gifts, paw prints, envelopes and a “Merry Christmas and happy wishes” sentiment. Twine bow adds rustic touch. Perfect festive handmade card idea for animal lovers.
