Hi, Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli) here today! I’m so excited to share a festive Christmas layout with you today—Happiest Season of All. This page was such a joy to create, and I love how perfectly everything came together.
Happiest Season Of All Story
The picture I chose is one of my absolute favorites. Last Christmas, Anne and I visited the Mariah Carey Bar in Chicago, and it was every bit as magical as you’d expect—sparkling lights, gorgeous decorations, and total holiday vibes in every corner. We took this photo in front of the most beautiful Christmas tree, and it instantly brought back all the joy and fun of that weekend. It really was the perfect kickoff to the holiday season.
Building the Christmas Layout
To build the foundation of my layout, I used my E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser to double-mat the background. I love how a double mat gives the page structure and a touch of sophistication. After that, I adhered the title cut file using foam strips, then moved on to my favorite part—embellishing!
For the title, I used a cut file with skinny letters, which worked beautifully with my 3D Foam Strips. The foam added just the right amount of dimension, making the title pop without overwhelming the design. I paired the cut file with the new Simple Stories collection, All Wrapped Up. The colors and patterns in this line matched my photo so well that it almost felt meant to be.
I added stickers and ephemera pieces around the layout, using 3D Foam Squares White Mix to give the smaller embellishments some lift. It was especially fun to pop up the tiny ornaments and add enamel dots to the centers of the ribbon bows for an extra festive touch. I also used a mix of foam square sizes along the sticker border to keep everything visually dynamic.
For my photo, I reached for the Crafty Foam Tape in White 54ft. It gave the picture just the right elevation above the title and helped draw the eye directly to the focal point of the page.
All in all, this layout was such a fun and cheerful project—truly capturing the happiest season of all. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing a little crafty Christmas magic with me. Until next time, happy creating!
Warm Wishes, Ali
