I love the Jolly Holiday DSP for making Christmas cards and gifts - the colours are rich and very traditional. However, I have recently been using the patterned paper from this pack to make non-Christmas projects. Here is a thank you card using stamps from the For Everything stamp set and Jolly Holiday paper...

Stamps: For Everything (wood: 116686, clear: 120459). Card/Paper: Cherry Cobbler (121681), Basic Black (121688), Very Vanilla (106550), Water Colour Paper (105019), Jolly Holiday DSP (117159). Ink: Old Olive (102277), Daffodil Delight (119667), Cherry Cobbler (119669), Jet Black Stazon (101406). Accessories: Basic Black 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon (109027), Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker (100082). Tools: 1-3/4" Scallop Circle Punch (119854), 1-3/8" Circle Punch (119860), 1-1/4" Circle Punch (119861), Blender Pen (102845), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).

These cute little cards are quick and easy to make, and the colours are bright and vibrant. I made a number of these cards this week to give to those who placed an order during December.

I also needed to make a gift this week. So I bundled some Chocolate Hazelnut and Coffee Truffles I made into a cellophane bag and added a topper using the same layout and colours as the cards above...
