Bundle Up for a Bright and Merry Christmas Layout

Snowy smiles, cozy layers, and festive fun come together beautifully with the Magic of Christmas collection. Featuring a classic mix of holly, pine, and glistening details, this layout brings a cheerful, polished look to favorite winter moments. From outdoor adventures to holiday gatherings, the Magic of Christmas Mats and Embellishments make it easy to frame photos with timeless style and seasonal charm.

To create this layout, you will need:

Step 1: Use a sheet of Bright White Solid Cardstock as the base of the layout. Adhere a 4″ x 12″ piece of the pine branches designer paper 1-1/2″ in from the left edge.

Step 2: Cut one 9″ x 8-1/4″ piece of line art leaves designer paper. On both 8-1/4″ sides, use the Poinsettia Edge BMC. Then, adhere an 8″ x 8″ piece of glistening snow designer paper to use as a photo mat for (4) 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ photos.

Step 3: Cut (4) 1″ x 8-1/4″ pieces of glistening snow designer paper using the Twist Blade on one long edge. Next cut (2) 1″ x 8-1/4″ pieces of line art leaves designer paper, also using the Twist Blade on one long edge. Adhere them as shown, behind the Poinsettia punched edges. Now, adhere the entire large mat with the decorative edges attached to the page, 2″ down from the top.

Step 4: Find the circular embellishment with a green and gold edge. Cut it in half and tuck one half in the upper left corner and the other in the lower right. Add the remaining embellishments as shown, using foam squares as desired.

Step 5: Locate the “Fa La La” Mat. Fussy cut the tag and tuck it under the large photo mat, next to the top embellishments.

Step 6: Using the fine tip of the Gold Metallic Dual-Tip Pen, add dots to the page as shown.

Step 7: Add journaling as desired.

This festive design captures the warmth and joy of the season, making every photo feel part of the holiday story. What holiday moments are you most excited to capture this year?
