The 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop is under way, and a great way to get holiday inspiration! Each day, my friend Brenda Nelson over at Stamps & Stretchy Pants and I are sharing holiday inspiration. Today I am sharing this quick and easy card. I hope you stop in to see us each day!

Keeping it Simple

When the season gets busy, it’s time to keep projects quick and easy! This card is just that. The embossed layer brings in a great textural element. And it’s fun to make several versions, mixing and matching patterned papers with different embossing folders.

The embossed layer could easily be substituted with designer series paper as well. And the Christmas Labels Dies are awesome! Lots of detail and a nice size to carry your sentiment as a focal point. The sentiments are so cute, and work for holidays or winter occasions.

Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper is colorful and bright, with bold prints. I loved using it to create this card, and HINT: you will see it again in the upcoming days!

To Create this Project

  • Thick Basic White Cardstock – 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″ card base
