With Love – Soft Greenery Seasonal Alternative Card Idea – November 2025 Wrapped in Cheer Kit

Welcome back to Creative Chelsey! Today I’m sharing a soft and elegant Christmas card that combines subtle texture, gentle greenery, and a simple sentiment. This design is perfect if you love a calm, neutral holiday look that still feels festive and special.


This card would work beautifully for Christmas, winter thank-you cards, or even seasonal happy mail just by swapping out the sentiment. It’s also a great example of how layering patterned paper and texture can do most of the work for you.

CUTTING GUIDE – https://drive.google.com/file/d/1brzTovK8oGR9Leowz1tH5s-mL6kS_Uck/view?usp=drive_link

 


How to Make This Card

1. Create the Cardbase

Emboss the Basic Beige piece with your choice of embossing folder. I used the crosshatch pattern from the Basics Pack (retired).

Adhere it, centering it evenly to allow the dark base to frame the design.


2. Build the Panels

Place the three Gift Box pieces together vertically. Randomly stamp the Wreath in Mossy Meadow over all three.

Add all three pieces onto white cardstock with even borders. You can mix them up to get a different look. TIP: Place the top and bottom pieces first then add the middle – this helps create an even border.


Attach the Layered Panel piece to the center with dimensionals.


3. Add the Focal Image

Stamp the Wreath in Mossy Meadow on Basic White Cardstock and fussy cut out.

Place the wreath element in the center between the first and second panel using dimensionals.

Use a Coordinating Stampin’ Blend Marker to color the Linen Thread. I used Dark Cherry Cobbler. Tie into a bow and add with a glue dot to the top of the Wreath.

This simple detail adds warmth and a touch of festive charm.


4. Stamp the Sentiment

Stamp “With Love” in a Cherry Cobbler ink on the 1/4" strip. Trim the sides to an angle and attach at the bottom of the wreath with dimensionals.

Keeping the sentiment small helps maintain the soft, elegant feel of the card.

 



Why I Love This Layout

The embossed background adds texture without overpowering the design

The layered panels are perfect for using patterned paper scraps

This layout works for many occasions—just change the sentiment

How to Make This Card

1. Large Early Espresso Banner

Cut the bottom edge into a shallow fishtail banner shape. The center point is about 1/2” high.

Emboss with any embossing folder. I used the Crosshatch Pattern from the Basics Pack (retired).

Adhere the brown embossed cardstock to the front of the card, centering it evenly.


2. Stamp

Stamp the Wreath in Mossy Meadow ink on the Gift Box piece. You will not be able to fit the whole wreath.

Stamp your greeting in Cherry Cobbler ink on the 1-1/2” Basic Beige Circle.


3. Create the Banner Layers

Cut the hole from the top of the green striped banner. Adhere it to the right side of the card at an angle.

Layer the smaller plaid wreath piece in the center of the Green Banner, slightly offset for interest.

Add the Green Tag with the Red Stripe side up on the left of the card.


4. Build the Tag Focal Point

Add your stamped greeting to the right side of the Tag with a dimensional.

Trim a small section from the leftover Branch with Leaves Die and tuck it under the greeting near the top.

Add the larger leftover piece of the Branch with Leaves tucked under the bottom of the greeting.


5. Add Embellishments

Tie two 8” pieces of linen thread together, through the tag hole and let the ends hang loosely.

Add 3-5 Red Embellishments around the greenery.
