Candy canes are such an iconic image of the holiday season. I usually associate them with being a sweet treat for children, and I like them, too. However, when paired with the right elements, they can definitely grace the front of an elegant card. It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!
This week, the amazing Anne Marie has a color challenge for us: Black, White and a “Pop” of any color. I selected Real Red. I can’t wait to see what color YOU choose!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
I just love cards that pack a “Wow”, but are easy to create – just like this card! In this case, a Fancy Frame die cut does all the work. I actually cut out two, one from black and one from polka dots. I inserted the center of the polka dot into the black one for a fun, little twist. A triple Real Red bow adds the finishing touch.

SO elegant and pretty, Ann! Love the detailed background and that big floofy bow is the perfect finishing touch.
That fancy frame definitely makes the candy canes look elegant! Love the fancy bow, too.
I do tend to think of candy canes as “cute” but your card is so elegant! I love the frilly touches – the swirls and gorgeous bow. This is lovely, Ann!
Love those big red candy canes, especially embellished with that beautiful bow! The elegant frame complements them perfectly!
Ann, this is so elegant and FUN at the same time!!! Those candy canes look good enough to eat, too! And you know I love polka dots. I love red, white and black together! Just perfect!
LOVE your “pop” of color!
Ann, I had to use Real Red too-it’s my favorite color! Love the fancy frames ! Have a great week!
Beautiful, and yes, elegant! Love that color combination. Hope all is well. Peace.
