I love this bundle! I am not sure if it’s the images or the sentiments, but to me, this is as classic as it gets. And the images look amazing just stamped or stamped and colored. All paired with this font, which is one of the best! I could not let this one go.

Since I promised easy, I’m going with one of my go-to card layouts. When I want to make a card quickly, I use a 3″ x 4″ centered layer. Simply done. You can jazz it up with embellishments or additional layers (like the Festive Glimmer Paper here), but if you are ever stuck, or need to make a card quickly, this layout is a keeper!

To Make this Project

Card Base – Real Red 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
Take a Bow Designer Series Paper – 4″ x 5 1/4″ and 3″ x 4″ (coordinating patterns)
Festive Glimmer Paper – 3 1/8″ x 4 1/8″
Basic White – 4″ x 5 1/4″ for inside layer, and a piece for the label and stamped image

Adhere larger piece of designer series paper to card front. Layer smaller piece of designer series paper with glimmer paper and adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Die cut label using the Something Fancy Die Set. Stamp sentiment in Garden Green ink. Adhere ribbon to back of label and adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp candle image in Garden Green ink. Color with Stampin’ Blends Markers and Wink of Stella, than adhere to label with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Embellish with peppermints. Adhere inside layer and stamp inside sentiment in Garden Green ink.
