Peaceful Christmas Layouts
December 2021’s Joy to the World Kiwi Club Kit is filled with paper patterns and festive sayings that will help you cherish your holiday memories. Several creators Played-To-Create with this kit to preserve their memories, and they shared their layouts to help spark your inspiration!
Mary Snyder Played-To-Create with the Joy to the World Kiwi Club Kit, and her sentimental layouts will make you nostalgic for Christmas memories.
All these layouts were created with a single Joy to the World Paper Crafting kit. You’ll be able to create two layouts and more with this paper crafting kit because it includes 12 double-sided sheets of patterned paper, 11 title cards, and the versatile Peace accessory set.

Kiwi Lane Designer Templates:
Add Texture to Your Creation
Mary created a fun texture for the roof of the Nativity stable by tracing it out of corrugated cardboard from a box. Using a box that you have laying around the house is the simplest and cheapest way to create this look, but you can also purchase sheets of corrugated cardboard.
Turn of a Phrase
The beauty of title cards is that they fit so well in a variety of Designer Templates. For example, the “Come Let Us Adore Him” phrase fits perfectly inside the star from Nativity. The phrase “Joy to the World” follows the curve from the fun border from the Peace set, and having that title along just a short section of the entire border is a cute way to draw the eye to the sentiment.
Add Depth to Your Details
There are so many ways to add depth and interest to your layouts. Elements like rhinestones, enamel dots, and other embellishments can take your layout from just paper to a shimmering stage for your photos and memories. Take your layout to the next level by adding layers and 3D foam adhesive. Simply adding a layer that’s raised off the paper enhances your creation.
The Designer Template kit found in Joy to the World paper crafting kit is so versatile. Peace can be used in so many ways, including making your own three dimensional lanterns you can light up with tea lights and using the border pieces as an extra layer on any layout.

Sparkling Poinsettias
Add some sparkle to your poinsettias and other embellishments by adding Stickles and rhinestones to your elements. Mary also added extra dimension to her poinsettia by adding a poinsettia below the main layer of the flower with 3D Foam Adhesives and rotating the petals to make it look brighter and fuller. She also traced and cut out the stencil elements and edged them with Stickles.
Transparent Ornaments
Whether you’re creating ornaments for your layouts or for your tree, vellum can add a fun transparent element to your decorations. Add an embellishment to the vellum to make it look like decorated glass or a magical floating design.

Gift Tags
Do you have a title card that you want to use, but you’re not sure of how you want to incorporate it into your layout? Tags are a great way to use your title card and still have a cute shape. They’re especially perfect for when you’re creating a Christmas layout because you can add a ribbon, and you immediately have a festive gift tag look. They can even be used as actual gift tags! Simply punch a hole at the top of the tag, add a ribbon, and attach your impromptu tag to your gift.
