The Best Christmas Scrapbook Paper & Stickers for Your Holiday Projects

What better way to get excited about capturing your favorite holiday memories than with new Christmas scrapbook paper and stickers? While you could certainly go basic and stick to any old supplies you have lying around, using themed supplies in memory keeping and holiday crafting creates a unique sense of occasion that not only motivates you and stimulates your creativity, but helps bring moments to life in a way that makes the viewer feel a bit of the magic right along with you. By using the right holiday scrapbooking supplies, you can better preserve traditions and tell seasonal stories that will last for generations to come.

Christmas scrapbook paper and stickers can also help set the tone not just for your winter-themed scrapbook layouts, but for other festive albums, memory books, advent calendars, holiday cards, and even meaningful handmade gifts.

But where do you find the best Christmas paper for scrapbooking and other festive papercraft projects?

Traditions of Christmas Designer Series Paper & Sticker Sheet

The Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper & Sticker Sheet from Stampin’ Up! is the perfect foundation for seasonal storytelling through papercraft. These happy holiday papers can be used for personal scrapbook albums, DIY holiday cards, gift tags, place settings, and more! Plus, with a set of perfectly coordinated stickers to go along with the 12 unique paper designs, you’ll be able to create countless combinations of holiday crafting fun. And just think what you could do by adding in a few more embellishments and die cuts found in the suite or your own stash of holiday scrapbooking supplies!

Here are a few tips for making the most of the Traditions of Christmas Paper & Stickers in your papercrafting this holiday season:

• Follow the visual triangle rule. Artists and designers have discovered that arranging things in triangular groupings is incredibly visually appealing, offering balanced composition and guiding the eye through a dynamic setting. This concept applies to scrapbook layout and card design, too! Pick the three things (photos, die cut imagery, stickers, etc.) that you want to highlight and start your design there.
• Mix your patterns wisely. We’re all for bold patterns and layouts, but occasionally the eye needs a break. Whether you accomplish that through the use of white space or more subtle patterns is up to you! In these instances, opposites attract, so pair big with small and bold with neutral for the best results.
• Use the right foundational layers. Not all reds, greens, or whites are created equal when it comes to color matching, so it’s nice to have ready-coordinated colors to work with in your papercrafting. The Keeping Traditions Two-Tone Cardstock works perfectly with the Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper, which helps make this some of the best Christmas paper for scrapbooking!
• When in doubt, use the full Keeping Traditions Scrapbooking Workshop Kit to ensure every item you need for several winter-themed scrapbook layouts is right there for you!

Keeping Traditions Two-Tone Cardstock

Cardstock is often the must-have foundational layer of any good scrapbook layout or DIY card design. It’s sturdy, which is a great practical function, but it’s also very useful in putting together your designs. Cardstock is great for:

• Matting photos
• Creating “white” space
• Adding contrast and balance to busy patterns
• Making space for journaling
• Being the background of stamped images
• Creating page borders

And best of all, when your Keeping Traditions Two-Tone Cardstock is designed to match perfectly with the patterned papers you’ve already chosen for your scrapbook layout or card design, you have built-in harmony you don’t have to think about, making holiday papercrafting that much more fun and stress-free!

Sweetly Serene Projects with Peaceful Vibes

While most of us love the traditional Christmas decor color palette, some winter-themed scrapbook layouts call for something a bit more on the soft side. One of the things we love most about the Peaceful Garden Christmas scrapbook paper and sticker set is its gentle versatility. Because it’s based on a cool, wintry color palette, it automatically conveys a serene sentiment. But then you add in sweetly-designed tone-on-tone greenery, peaceful doves, and a few golden hearts, and we’re sold on its wintry appeal.

This paper set, and the full workshop kit that matches, are great for designing:

• Snow day scrapbook spreads
• Baby’s First Christmas memory books
• Modern, wintry holiday cards
• Chic gift tags
• Cozy home decor
• Annual Christmas tree cutting scrapbook layout

Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper & Sticker Sheet

Just because these Peaceful Garden designs are a little more reserved, it doesn’t mean they’re not also playful and happy. And using the coordinated sticker set will bring extra life and charm to any scrapbook page or papercrafting project. Use them to flag favorite photos, add dates to layouts, flank sentiments or titles, and journal about the memory captured.

You can also use those stickers to easily add a touch of well-designed ornamentation to any other wintry papercrafts! Add a foliage flourish to table place settings for your family dinner, adorn your DIY advent calendar with a bit of greenery, and even use them to work in your personal planner or bullet journal!

And to make things even easier (and more chicly festive!) you’ve got a set of coordinated two-tone cardstock waiting for you to harmonize with every project you choose to create using the Peaceful Garden Paper & Sticker Sheet.

Peaceful Days Two-Tone Cardstock

The color palette of the Peaceful Days Two-Tone Cardstock set is serene yet rich. It brings out every shade of blue and green in the coordinating patterned papers from deepest pine to frosty aqua, as well as earthy shades of amber and oat. And with two shades of each color in each paper, you’re well equipped to layer up on cards, scrapbook pages, and more.

Plus, the paper is thick and smooth, making it a great foundation for stamping and the perfect material for matching die cuts—both of which you can find in the full Peaceful Days Suite!
