Fast and Easy Christmas Card

Here is the very simplest of cards. Fast, easy and impressive!

I began with a plain white card base. Use the Sizzix snowflake embossing folder to create a textured overlay to attach to the front of the card.

Now the easy part. Find a fairly large 3-D sticker and center it on the front.

Simple and elegant.

Soft Sage

Another K & Company sticker used as the center piece.
The embossed frame is a Spellbinder's Label
with an oval on the inside.
A Sizzix folder was used for the textured
base layer.

The soft sage green card stock was used
to create a narrow border under the
base textured layer.
It was also used under the
flower sticker. I cut an oval one size
larger than was used for the oval cut out
in the frame.

These cards are so dainty and elegant.

Blessings

I do love this paper. It looks so like real material. You can even see the "weave". I have no idea what company manufactured it.

I lost the front cover and never dreamed I would have a blog and want that information, so was not terribly worried about it.

The frame has been cut using a Spellbinders nesting dies. The paper in the frame is from the same stack as the paper on the front of the card base. That is one of the major reason I like to buy stacks of scrapbook paper. All the paper in the stack will coordinate.

The flouish is a Sizzix extended cut die. "Blessings" is a sticker I got from Serendipity Stamps.

Punches, Die Cuts and Stickers

A new Anna Griffin punch inspired this little creation.

The beginning was a piece of scrapbook paper glued
to an A2 card base. (A2 - 4.25 x 5.5 when folded)

The die cut is three repeats of the same die cut that
were carefully cut apart and reassembled to cradle
the "Prayer" sticker.

I punched out the cross and then centered it in
an oval punch. Two narrow strips of the same
paper at the top and bottom of the card provide the
finishing touch.
