Ok everyone, time is running out to make and send out those Christmas cards. I know, I know by now your saying, "with all the shopping and packing and wrapping and parties, I just don't have the time.' Well I have two cards that you can make in a very short amount of time, that are super easy and cute. Click on the images to enlarge them.
For this first card, I took my snowman stamp from the SU Frosty set and stamped it in Versamark and then heat embossed him in silver. Then once he was cooled, I embellished with Burgundy Stickles. I created 10 of these in a half an hour, I could have probably done more but I was watching a Christmas movie on Lifetime.
The second card was made with some PP and cardstock, a piece of ribbon with a simple knot and the Merry Christmas stamp from my brand new SU Cute and Curly set. First I laid down the PP and cardstock, then I stamped the image and then used the SU Curly punch to punch out the image. A couple of pop dots, some more Burgundy Stickles and boom you are done. If I was in a super hurry I wouldn't do the Stickles on this card. It would still look simple and elegant. This card could even be made using non traditional holiday colors.
I hope you enjoy!
Enjoy!
I'm all for quick cards! Love the snowman (can't go wrong with Stickles, right?), and the second one has a very elegant look!
