Clean and simple are my favorite cards to make. I love how they look and turn out. Very elegant yet simple!

Here’s how to create these cards:

Cut the cardstock to 4.25 by 11. Score at 5.5. You will have two cards.

For the first card, stamp the sentiment in the center using black ink.

Then draw a line a half an inch from the top and bottom of the stamped sentiment using a pencil.

Using red and green ink, stamp the dotted line going across the front.

Erase the line when the ink dries.

Round all four corners with a corner punch.

For the second card, stamp the sentiment in the upper right-hand corner using black ink.

Score a line a half an inch to the left of the sentiment and a half an inch from the top of the sentiment.

With the same red and green ink, stamp the leaves under the sentiment.

 

See, beautiful and simple, yet elegant.

Let’s take another look:

Today I used the Oversized Merry die from Waffle Flower! I pulled out some Yupo paper and my Deception Alcohol ink Pearls from Ranger. First I start with wetting the Yupo with the blending solution first and then added my alcohol ink pearls. I used an air blower to help move the ink and solution around. Once the ink was where I wanted it I left it to dry.  I decided to make a second panel since I was having so much fun! Then I used the Waffle Flower oversized Merry to cut out the middle of the paper. I popped out the die cut and glued it using Gina K Designs Connect glue to my card base made from 110 pound Neenah cardstock. I made sure to save the inner pieces of the R’s and Y so that I could use them to make a second card from the same piece of Yupo.  I added a few gems from Pretty Pink Posh and voila! 4 Christmas cards! Let me know if you decide to try this!

Holiday Card Series 2019 – Day 12 Avery Elle

Hey everyone.  It’s Dana back with you today.  Who’s ready for an Avery Elle shaker card?  I’m so excited to share this card with you because I absolutely love the way it turned out.  Let me show you the card first.

Avery Elle

Mixing several Avery Elle stamps made this card super easy to come together.  This card is going to my sweet niece Ariah for Christmas.  She watches her titi’s videos with her grandmother and I hope she loves how it came together.

All products for the video are listed below for your shopping convenience. I’ve used affiliate links at no cost to you.  Thank you for your support.

For my bonus card today I used the Santa Bear to make a quick and easy holiday card. This card was stamped with fade out ink onto watercolor paper.  I kept the card simply with watercoloring and a few gems.  For the puffy white elements on the card I used puffy dimensional paint.  I love adding this product to my cards during the holidays.

Sometimes you just need a cute focal point on your card and a sentiment.  No layers or extras for this one. Remember, you can make your holiday cards easy and fun.  Never let a piece of paper get the best of you. 😉 I’ve been so inspired by this card series and all the different style each of us are sharing. So you can pick a style you see here and run with it.  Or you can get more colorful and add the extras that you like to your cards.

Holiday Card Series 2019 Day 10 – Simon Says Stamp

Hey everyone.  I’m back with you today sharing another inspirational card and tutorial using products from Simon Says Stamp and Gina K. Designs.  Working with stencils on your holiday cards is a quick and easy way to mass produce a ton.  Adding extra sparkle with the Gina K. Designer glitz glitter gel just steps everything up 10 notches. 😉. Let’s get into the card.

For this beautiful, I stayed with my favorite color combination of teal and red.  To not distract from this color combination, I pulled in some silver and vellum.

Simon Says Stamp

 

Let’s take a peek at the video to see how this beautiful card came together.

 

For my bonus card today, I kept it very clean and simple.  I used the Simon Says Stamp Ornamental Wreath as my main focal point.  I die cut it out of green card stock.  Next I layered tiny red gems as my berries around the wreath. The background panel I used the We R’ Memory Keepers geometric embossing folder for a quilted look.  I also ran a piece of red card stock through the embossing folder and placed it in the center of the wreath.

Simon Says Stamp

My wreath needed a bow so I die cut one out and stamped a sentiment onto a strip of white card stock.  Now it was time to assemble the card.  I layered a piece of red card stock on a white card base.  Next I adhered the embossed background. I glued the red piece being the wreath and glowed the wreath down.  Using the tips of my scissors I gently lifted some of the leaves on the wreath.

 

 

That’s all for today.  Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to swing back by tomorrow for more inspiration.  Keep those commenting coming for your chance to win one of the amazing giveaways we have.
