Stuck for Christmas Card Ideas ??

... then how about these two cards ?  These cards are quick and easy to make, the first card uses the one sheet wonder technique.

Card 1

Make your 4x4 card bases from 12x12 Crumb Cake card stock (cut one piece 4 x 12 and trim off a 4x4 piece.  Turn card around in the trimmer and cut three 4x8 strips - you now have four 4x8 strips.  Fold and score all the pieces into 4x4 cards).

Using the Serene Snowflakes stamp set, randomly stamp all over your Very Vanilla card stock using Night of Navy, Marina Mist & Crumb Cake ink pads, then trim down your stamped card into four pieces measuring 3 6/8 x 3".

Punch out the border using the new Lace Border punch and Night of Navy card stock.  Then trim down to fit stamped card.  Attach to the stamped card so that only half of the border is showing (as seen in sample), then adhere this layer to the crumb cake card base.  Add a small gold bow or very vanilla bow if preferred.

To finish off, stamp the sentiment from Contempo Christmas to the bottom right hand corner of the card base.

Card 1

 Card 2


Make your 4x4 card bases from 12x12 Crumb Cake card stock (cut one piece 4 x 12 and trim off a 4x4 piece.  Turn card around in the trimmer and cut three 4x8 strips - you now have four 4x8 strips.  Fold and score all the pieces into 4x4 cards).

Using the Serene Snowflakes stamp set, randomly stamp all over your card base stock using Indigo Island, and Marina Mist ink pads.

Stamp the large snowflake onto a spare piece of crumb cake card stock using Indigo Island ink pad, and cut out the snowflake as near to the image as you can.

Stamp the Merry Christmas from the Contempo Christmas stamp set using Night of Navy onto Very Vanilla card stock. Punch out using the large oval punch.  Using the three snowflake stamp and crumb cake ink pad, stamp just off the top edge of the oval.

Adhere the sentiment onto the card, and then adhere the large snowflake using foam pads/dimensionals.  Add ribbon to the top of the card tucking it slightly under the large snowflake (non stampin up ribbon).
