Morning all!
I’m over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with a few festive cards.
Now that we’re well and truly into December, this is the time when simple Christmas cards are definitely on the agenda!
And it couldn’t get much simpler than these.
You can’t go wrong with a nice big snowflake as the focal point on your card.
Paper: Basic Grey – Juniper Berry
Stamp: The Greetery – Sentiment Suite: Christmas
Dies: The Greetery – Sentiment Suite Basics, The Greetery – Crimped Circle Tags, The Greetery – Loopy Bow Builder, The Greetery – Snipped Snowflakes #1, The Greetery – Snipped Snowflakes #3
For my cards, I opted for the new Snipped Snowflakes #1 and #3 sets from The Greetery and cut the smaller of the two dies in each set from white cardstock.
Then all you need is a tag or circle die, a fancy bow, some patterned paper, and the sentiments of your choice.
I started out by giving the white snowflakes a splattering of pearlescent paint in frosty white so that they sparkle a little when they catch the light.
For my tags, I went with the Crimped Circle Tags from The Greetery. I cut them from kraft, blended some brown ink around the edges, and added a splattering of white paint. With the snowflakes added, they almost look like gingerbread cookies.
I then used the Loopy Bow die from The Greetery to finish off the tags. For some subtle sparkle, I added some glimmer to the knots of the bows with a Wink of Stella pen.
I covered my card bases in patterned paper that would be a nice neutral backdrop for the tags.
Finally, I grabbed what has to be my most used festive sentiment set this year, the Sentiment Suite Christmas stamps and coordinating dies to finish off the cards.
And there we have it, two more cards made and many more to go!
Until next time, happy crafting!
