The holiday crafting season is in full swing, and Design Team member Jeanne Jachna showcases the versatility of the November 2026 Main Kit with an inspiring collection of eight festive handmade cards. Mixing traditional red and green palettes with bold black-and-white buffalo checks, polka dots, and classic plaids, Jeanne demonstrates how easily these coordinated papers and die-cut ephemera come together for effortless seasonal greetings.
Jeanne begins with a cheerful "Merry & Bright" card layered over red tartan plaid and dotted green paper. A stately red-and-black nutcracker stands beside a buffalo-check frame holding a candy cane and holly bouquet, finished with a "12/25" oval tag and gold star accents.
In her second design, Jeanne pairs a dotted green border with a bold black-and-white checkered bow and a candy-cane striped banner. A whimsical pedestal Christmas tree decked in mixed patterns sits next to a stack of wrapped presents, a striped ornament, and a patterned "HO HO" sentiment.
Winter charm takes center stage on the third card, where a bundled-up snowman sporting a buffalo-check top hat and red-and-white scarf stands against a red diamond border. Layered black-and-white snowflakes, gold stars, and a "Joyful Spirits" sentiment complete the frosty scene.
Jeanne brings back the nutcracker and "Merry & Bright" title for her fourth creation, pairing them with a rich floral border, a stack of patterned gifts, and a playful "Fa La La" die cut tucked into the bottom corner.
For a dramatic, high-contrast look, the fifth card frames a black-and-white dotted panel with a red, black, and gold harlequin border. Lush evergreen boughs with red and white berries cascade over two hanging ornaments and a bold "Christmas Wishes" sentiment.
Countdown excitement shines on the sixth card, featuring a string-light patterned green background layered with red diagonal stripes. A red-and-white Nordic-patterned stocking overflows with holly and pine, accented by a circular "25" badge and a "Fa La La" sentiment.
Jeanne doubles the royal charm on her seventh card by pairing two nutcrackers—one in green and one in red—against a red plaid background and black dotted mat. A cluster of holly and berries sits above a red "Merry-ful Greetings" banner.
Rounding out the set, the eighth card lines up a quartet of nutcrackers across a green dotted base accented with red-and-white candy-stripe borders and a polka-dot red bow. A banner reading "Celebrate the Season" spans the group, anchored by a lush holly cluster at the bottom.
