Quick Christmas Cards

 



Hi Friends!

This week we are continuing to share Christmas cards on the Stamp Simply blog



I decided to create another set of easy Christmas cards using the Studio Light Sending Joy 6x6Paper Pad.  I love this paper for quick Christmas cards- just a reminder, this paper pad has been discontinued so once it is sold out at Stamp Simply, it will not be available again. 



If you love this paper as much as I do, buy it now before it is too late!  You can create at least 60 quick cards (if not more) from this one paper pad!

Once I trimmed each piece of the designer paper to approx. 3 ¾” x 5” and distressed the edges, I used an embossing powder tool to de-static the paper before heat embossing the sentiments with Versafine Onyx Black ink and clear embossing powder.



I paired the Rose-Breasted Grosbeak image with an embossed sentiment from the Merry Christmas stamp set, distressed the edges, mounted the panel onto black cardstock before adhering to a white card base.  

So quick and easy, plus flat for mailing!



For the pine tree snow scene card, I heat embossed the sentiment from Christmas Peace, added the
May Arts ⅝” Sage Twill Ribbon and 1.75” White Venise Gabriella Lace  (wrapping the ends of the ribbon behind the panel) before mounting onto black cardstock and adhering to a white card base.

Again, this card was easy with just a bit of elegance added with the ribbon/lace and still fairly flat for mailing :-)

If you have not had a chance to check out my Sister DT cards yet, I hope you will do so- wonderful inspiration from all!
