Wanted to share a sweet, simple and economical one-layer Christmas card that might fill some of your needs for this year's holiday. Using the Calm Christmas Stamp Set from the 2013 Holiday Catalog, plus the new World Map background stamp from the main catalog, I composed this card using Night of Navy and Marina Mist inks on a Whisper White 4x4.25 piece on a vertical 4.25x11 Night of Navy card base. With just three stamps on the cover and one on the inside, your cards would be done in no time!
To bling it up for Christmas, I added Whisper White Organa ribbon and some Basic Pearls to the olive branch in the dove's beak. Though you can't see it in the photo, I spritzed the Night of navy cardstock with homemade Shimmer Mist, so it's got a little glam, too.
20 of us made 12 of this card and two other designs at Christmas Club last month. While there is no space left for more attendees at that third Monday night meeting, I would still love to help you get your holiday cards done. Let's chat and see if we can get together some friends and have a card-making day. I make it so easy for you, with everything designed and cut out--then we just get to stamp and chat as we assemble, snack, and laugh the afternoon or evening away. Email me today! zwolaneks@att.net
LOVE this card! I am so excited for Christmas already and I love that you are sharing ideas already!
