Do you have a growing collection of 6×6 Christmas designer paper and wonder how to use it in a creative way?

This 6×6 paper Christmas card is one of my favorite designs because it lets the beautiful paper become the star of the project. The unique fold displays both sides of your designer paper while creating an interactive card your friends and family will love opening.

Instead of another traditional Christmas card, this design adds a fun surprise that’s sure to impress—and it’s a wonderful way to make the most of your favorite holiday paper collections.

Why You’ll Love This 6×6 Paper Christmas Card

This design is perfect if you’re trying to use up your stash of holiday paper while still creating something elegant and memorable.

You’ll love this project because it:

• Uses just one sheet of 6×6 designer paper
• Shows off both sides of your paper
• Creates a beautiful interactive fold
• Works with almost any Christmas paper collection
• Makes a card that recipients will want to display

Whether you’re making a handful of special cards or creating an entire Christmas card collection, this fold is both beautiful and versatile.

Let Your Designer Paper Shine

Sometimes the hardest part of using double-sided designer paper is deciding which side to showcase.

With this 6×6 paper Christmas card, you don’t have to choose.

As the card opens, both coordinating patterns become part of the overall design, giving the finished card extra interest without adding unnecessary layers.

This makes it an excellent project for:

• Christmas paper pads
• Quilted holiday patterns
• Poinsettia prints
• Plaids
• Traditional Christmas collections

Add Beautiful Holiday Details

For my card, I decorated the front with a layered poinsettia created using the Pretty Poinsettia Dies. The new Impressions Dies give the petals gorgeous texture that adds even more dimension to the finished project.

Other details include:

• Coordinating ribbon
• Layered cardstock mats
• Pearls for the flower center
• A simple Christmas greeting
• Traditional holiday colors

Small embellishments like these help turn a simple card into something truly special.

A Great Way to Use Your 6×6 Christmas Paper

If you’ve been collecting Stampin’ Up! designer paper (or any favorite Christmas paper), this fold is a wonderful way to put it to use.

Because the paper covers such a large portion of the design, every pattern gets a chance to shine.

It’s also a fantastic project for:

• Handmade Christmas cards
• Holiday card swaps
• Using retired paper
• Creating elegant cards without lots of layers
