My favorite patterned paper for creating with this holiday season is Stampin’ Up!’s Modern Christmas 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. I so love the gold, black, and white combination.

However, I appreciate the traditional holiday colors of red and green. In today’s post, I share how I used this paper and transformed it into a Real Red and Old Olive beauty.
Measurements and Details
- Real Red cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
- Old Olive Two-Tone cardstock measuring 5 1/4 x 4 and dry embossed with Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder
- Sand embossed image. drag Old Olive ink pad across embossed panel.
- Tree pattern from the Modern Christmas 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper blended with Old Olive ink.
- Punch circle with 2 3/8-inch Circle Punch.
- Layer on Real Red cardstock die cut with Stylish Shapes Dies.
- Sentiment from Holly Jolly stamp set stamped with Real Red ink on Old Olive Two-Tone Cardstock and die cut with Stylish Shapes Dies.
- Traditional Sparkling Sequins.
- Real Red 1/2-inch Shiny Ribbon
Here’s another version below. I just used regular Old Olive cardstock instead of the two-tone cardstock. Which version do you like best?

And, here’s another using Shaded Spruce and gold.
