115 Christmas Scrapbook Papers to Print at Home

Christmas paper is easy to buy and hard to choose. A set may hold twelve sheets or forty-eight, red and green or navy and gold, plain patterns or little scenes, and the cover picture tells you little about how the sheets will look on a page.

Here are seven sets of Christmas scrapbook paper, 115 sheets in all, grouped by style. For each one you will find what is on the sheets, how many there are and what kind of page they suit.

Quick answer: for Christmas scrapbook paper, choose one set by mood: parchment or vintage scenes for old-fashioned pages, blue sets for a calm winter, peppermint and lights for bold ones, botanical watercolor for quiet ones. Print a few sheets at home and keep the rest for the next page.

Seven sets of Christmas scrapbook paper

1. Vintage and parchment

Antique Christmas scrapbook paper with holly, berries and a red ribbon on aged parchment, printed sheets stacked, on burgundy velvet with fir twigs, gold baubles and gold ribbon
Antique Christmas Scrapbook Paper12 aged parchment papers with holly, berries and satin bows in the corners; the middle is empty. 12 × 12 in.
Vintage Christmas paper with two deer among pine trees and snowflakes, printed sheets stacked, on dark green velvet with red and white twine and small kraft gift boxes
Vintage Christmas Paper Sublimation48 vintage Christmas papers: deer among pines, holly, golden bells, baubles, a knitted stocking and patchworks. 12 × 12 in.

These two sets are for pages that look like they came out of a trunk. The parchment set is for pages with words, the vintage set for pages with scenes.

Some sheets of the 48-sheet set are patchworks of small squares, which can be cut apart into a dozen little pictures for tags and corners.

2. Blue winter

Blue watercolor Christmas paper with a reindeer in a winter forest, printed sheets stacked, on midnight blue velvet with snowy fir sprigs, pine cones and juniper berries
Christmas Scrapbook Paper Blue Winter18 papers in shades of blue: snowy fir trees, snowflakes, a reindeer in the forest, ornaments, berries and gifts.
White snowflakes on navy blue scrapbook paper, printed sheets stacked, on a blue-grey wooden table with snowy fir sprigs, silver bells and white ribbon
Snowflake Digital Papers12 papers in navy, light blue and gold: snowflakes, diagonal stripes, a chevron and a checkerboard. 12 × 12 in.

For people who find red and green too loud, blue gives a Christmas page that still looks like winter. The two sets below share navy and light blue, so sheets from both can sit on one spread.

In the blue set many motifs come twice, light and dark, so you can pair a pale sheet for the page with a dark one for the mat.

3. Bold peppermint and lights

Peppermint candy Christmas scrapbook paper on light blue, printed sheets stacked, on dark teal velvet with silver baubles and fir twigs
Digital Paper Winter Holiday14 papers, 12 × 12 in (3600 × 3600 px), 300 DPI, JPG.

This one is cheerful and graphic: peppermint candies, strings of lights, “ho ho ho” lettering, polka dots, a chevron and stripes in red, green and light blue. Each motif has a light and a bold version, so a busy sheet can be paired with a plain one.

4. Quiet botanical

Watercolor Christmas paper with red poinsettia bouquets on white, printed sheets stacked on an oak desk with coloured pencils and a cup of tea
Christmas Floral Seamless Patterns3 seamless patterns, 5000 × 5000 px, enough for a 12 × 12 in sheet at over 400 DPI.

Three watercolor patterns with winter bouquets on white: red poinsettia, cotton bolls with pine and eucalyptus with soft peach flowers. They share greens and greys, and the white ground leaves room for handwriting.

5. Little scenes and characters

Cute Christmas paper with a snowy village, houses and little cars, printed sheets stacked, on red felt with pine cones and fir sprigs
Cute Christmas Seamless Pattern Bundle8 hand-drawn seamless patterns, 12 × 12 in, PNG, 300 DPI.

Cats in wreaths, dachshunds by the tree, a snowy village, a baking kitchen, farm animals and two pastel sets with reindeer and gingerbread. Each pattern is a small world, so one sheet is enough for a page about the pets or the baking day.

How to choose among them

  • You write a lot on the page: choose parchment or botanical, where the middle is plain.
  • You have a busy photo: choose a calm blue sheet, or the botanical one, for the background.
  • You want a children’s page: choose peppermint and lights, or the characters.
  • You want one set for the whole album: choose the 48 vintage sheets, with the widest range of motifs.

Printing Christmas paper at home

  • Most sets are 12 × 12 inches. On a Letter or A4 printer choose “Fit to page” for the whole sheet at about 8 × 8 inches.
  • The blue winter set is upright, about 6 5/8 × 10 in at 300 DPI per sheet, so it fits a half-letter or A5 page without cutting.
  • Parchment sheets have decoration in the corners; use “Fit to page” so the corners are not cut off.
  • Print a test sheet first, then the rest of the set. Dark sheets use more ink, so print them last.
  • Glue with a glue stick or double-sided tape; wet glue can wrinkle inkjet prints.

Questions about Christmas scrapbook paper

How many sheets do I need for an album?

For a small album, a dozen sheets are enough: one for each page and a few for mats. A 48-sheet set gives you spare sheets for several albums.

Can I use the same paper for cards and gift wrap?

The designers list scrapbooking, cards and other paper crafts for these sets, so a spare sheet can be cut for a card front or a small box.

Is red and green the only Christmas colour scheme?

No. Blue, navy and gold, or soft botanical greens and greys, make a calm page that still reads as winter.

When should I print?

In November, so the pages are ready for the first of December and you fill them during the month.
