The holiday season is in full swing, and if your crafting time is getting squeezed between shopping, baking, and everything in between—don’t stress! Today I’m sharing two super–simple but wow-worthy Christmas cards that come together in minutes thanks to patterned paper and a few of my favorite Pajama Crafter Stamps dies.
These designs prove you can craft beautiful, heartfelt cards without spending hours at your desk… though your recipients will definitely think you did!
🎄 Card 1: Winter Parade Tree Die Card
For the first design, I reached for the Tree Die from Pajama Crafter Stamps and paired it with the Winter Parade Paper Pack. The patterned papers do all the heavy lifting—just a single pass through the die-cutting machine creates an instant focal point bursting with color and personality.
To make it shine even more, I mounted the die-cut tree over an embossed background panel for texture and added a simple mat to frame the design. The sentiment comes from the Christmas Words & Shadow Die Set, cut in a rich maroon cardstock to coordinate perfectly with the patterned paper.
A sprinkle of sequins adds festive sparkle… and just like that, the card is done!
🧦 Card 2: Stocking Card With Bonus Savings
Using the exact same process, I created this adorable stocking card. The stocking die-cut looks absolutely charming when paired with holiday patterned paper—clean, quick, and perfectly seasonal.
✨ Fun fact:
During our Black Friday Sale—now through Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025 at 11:59 pm EST—if you purchase BOTH the Winter Parade and Taupe Tidings Paper Packs, you’ll receive the Stocking Die absolutely FREE!
No codes, no hoops—just add both paper packs to your cart, and we’ll pop the stocking die into your package when we ship your order.
🎁 Beautiful Cards, Minimal Time
Whether you’re a last-minute maker or just looking for fast wins during the holiday rush, these two cards are perfect examples of how patterned paper + a great die = instant magic.
With just a little embossing, a coordinating sentiment, and a touch of sparkle, you can create cards that look beautifully detailed without the time investment.
Your loved ones will never know it only took a few minutes… unless you tell them.
