Here is a list of trends that we got from the experts in this field:
– Stars
– Bright Pops of Color
– Graphic Line Elements
– Handmade Effects
– Foil or Metallic Elements
– Fun Folds, Cut-Outs and 3D Paper Elements
– Personal Touches
– Focus on Nature

Can you even believe some of those? They are a card maker’s dream, right? We thought we’d share some items from our store that could help you achieve some of these looks.

STARS

This background stamp is such a great way to add either a bold background with a pop of color or heat embossed metallic powder OR as a subtle bit of texture with tone on tone or stamping with Versamark on colored paper.

We can’t count how many times customers have thanked us for making this “two in one” die – it cuts a sweet streak of stars AND the stars that pop out of the centers can be used with it or separately.

BRIGHT POPS OF COLOR

Well this is no surprise, right? Our designers all have, at some point, featured projects where a bright pop of color added the visual interest that made a card so compelling. Here are just a few Christmas themed cards that use this eye-catching element:

GRAPHIC LINE ELEMENTS

We were so excited to see this as not just one of the Christmas card trends 2021 but it’s predicted to be a major theme for cards this year into next. Because………some of our new stencils are all about the lines!

This is our Sand Stencil and the straight edged lines in the curved formation add tons of motion and texture.

Our Wavy Stencil is unique in that you stencil the BACKGROUND of the waves, leaving the lines the original color. This lets you do all kinds of cool shading and coloring!
