Hello there, my fellow crafter. Thanks for joining me today. Usually, I already have my Christmas cards all made and ready to send out by this time of the year. Not this year. As is everything inconvenient and crazy about 2020, you would think that as I have been sitting on the couch healing my leg up, I would have all the time in the world to get my Christmas cards done, right? Nope as I said, not this year.Â
Last month Stampin’ Up! held its annual convention online for all of us demonstrators that wanted to attend. One of the best things about attending an SU convention besides seeing my fellow SU friends is the stamping presentation. Several talented SU employees demonstrate different stamp sets and show us demos super cute cards and projects using new upcoming products (you will get to see them soon)!!! It is so much fun to see all of the creative ways the different presenters develop unique ways to use the products and their fun and sometimes simple card layouts. That is where I got my inspiration for this card. The layout came directly from my On Stage @Home convention. It is a super fast and simple card idea and is perfect for creating multiples. Â
I started with a classic Christmas color scheme, Shaded Spruce, and Cherry Cobbler. I paired these colors with the fun Tis The Season Decorative Series Paper and the Perfectly Plaid stamp set. If you haven’t taken a look at this paper yet, you can see it here. This paper is great! I love DSP that has a large scale pattern, but when making several Christmas cards, it is easier to make a variety of layouts if you have a smaller patterned DSP. It is more versatile in projects.
To finish my project, I stamped the plaid tree using Shaded Spruce ink, then cut it out using the Pine Tree Punch. I added a Linen Thread Bow and a cute star from the All The Trimmings Embellishments. I love how this card turned out! It took about 10 minutes from start to finish, and that included cutting the cardstock. So as I said, this would be a great card for a stamp-a-stack and getting those holiday cards done and out.Â
Below you can find all of the products I used in making this card. Suppose you love this card as much as me and want to create it. Click on the link below for complete instructions and cardstock sizes. And if you have to have all the products I used, you can click on the convenient add all to the cart button at the bottom of the product list.
I hope you have enjoyed this project, and of course, if you have any questions, I am here for you.
Until next time,
Happy Stamping!
