Hi
Stampers!
Time flies so fast and now I am behind on my own commitment to create at least six Christmas cards a month
(again, I did not mail any since I was behind last year- definitely want to
make sure they are mailed this year in time) :-)
I tend to struggle with Clean and Simple designs but I keep trying so 
I
decided to try a quick, easy card for the CASology #82 Bold Challenge using the CTS64 Sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch! , colors from the NAC76 Nacho AverageChallenge and the Animal Theme from the Merry Monday #95 Christmas CardChallenge- again, each challenge listed has a link and I hope you will take the
time to visit their sites!
This
is probably the easiest card that I have made this year since I already had the die cut ready to go from an
earlier project...less than ten minutes even if you have to cut the die :-)
To create this card:
Use
the 2 ½” Circle Punch to create the moon from Blushing Bride cardstock and layer
onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock.
Use
Paper Snips or scissors to hand cut a wavy line across a piece of Very Vanilla
cardstock- trim to approx. 4” wide and adhere onto the card front overlapping
the “moon” a bit.
With
Basic Black Classic Ink, stamp the sentiment from the retired Short & Sweet
set and add the Rhinestone accent.
Use
the Big Shot™ to cut the deer die from Basic Black cardstock and add to the
card front using Mini Glue Dots.
The
card is finished- how quick was that??
Stamp
Sets: Short & Sweet
Ink: Basic Black
Paper:
Basic Black, Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Big Shot™, Deer Die (non-SU!-
Impression Obsession), 2 ½” Circle Punch
Thanks for visiting-
have a wonderful Sunday!!
