Christmas Aftermath Layout | Design Team: Jessica Michaels
Hey friends, Jessica here! I'm back with another December Daily page flip, and today I'm sharing days 25 and 26 from my 2025 album. This spread uses the brand new September Release and the Fall/Holiday Season Pass collections, and there are so many fun stamps, dies, and holiday icons in this release that I couldn't wait to dig in. Let's get into it!
Days 25 and 26 of my December Daily are done, and this spread is all about Christmas Day chaos in the best way! I made a cassette pocket using the September Release stamp and die set to hold a big stack of Christmas Day photos - that coordinating die makes cutting this pocket shape so easy, no fussing with templates. I layered on stickers, rub-ons, and word phrases from the Season Pass to dress up the photo strips, then cut topper pieces from the Season Pass papers and tied sparkle twine through them to finish the tops off.
On the right side page, I pulled out the new Charlie Lowercase Stamp Set and stamped "aftermath" above and below my main photo. Yes, this is really what our living room looked like the day after Christmas - wrapping paper, boxes, the works. I know I'll probably miss this chaos someday, so I wanted this page to capture it honestly instead of just the pretty moments.
I finished the page with more die cuts and word phrases, plus some stamping along the bottom using the Season Pass stamp set to tie it all together. I love how this spread came together - the new release items are in the shop now if you want to grab them for your own pages!
Thank you so much for being here today and I hope I’ve inspired you to create!
