Creating a Giant Christmas Postcard with Festive Fun

Hello everyone, I’m Eva, and today I’m sharing a new layout featuring the beautiful Festive Fun collection by Pinkfresh Studio.

I was inspired by the postage stamps in this collection and decided to create a giant postcard on my layout! I had fun layering patterned papers and adding little details around my photo to make it feel like a festive Christmas card. The fussy-cut stamps and embellishments were perfect for bringing the whole design together.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Cut a piece of white cardstock measuring 9 x 6 inches.
Adhere the white cardstock panel to a slightly larger piece of patterned paper to create a layered border.
Cut a piece of red patterned paper and place it underneath your photo card to add a pop of color.
Adhere the layered photo card to the Good Cheer patterned paper, which will serve as the background for your layout.
Decorate the photo card with thin strips of patterned paper, arranging them to resemble a postcard.
Place your photo on the card and secure it in place.
Add die cuts and fussy-cut postage stamp elements from the Hustle & Bustle paper to decorate around your photo.
Add your title using a die cut, then finish the design with a few chipboard shapes for extra dimension.

Tip: Layering patterned papers in different sizes is an easy way to add depth and highlight your photo. A small pop of contrasting color, like the red paper in this layout, can also help draw the eye to your main design.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed this project and feel inspired to create something festive with your favorite patterned papers. Happy crafting!
