A Few Simple Christmas Cards…

Embossed O Little Town of Bethlehem

Handmade cards are a joy to make and a pleasure to give, but sometimes it’s hard to find the time with everything else that needs to be done to prepare for the holidays. But cards don’t need to be complicated. Here are a few “simple” cards I made that came together pretty quickly…

Beautiful paper + a large scene stamp + embossing powder = done! The above slimline card features some beautiful handmade marbled paper from Emily Romero Marbled Paper & Designs. I paired this with Gina K Designs Metallic Gold and white card stock. The stamp is “Peaceful Night” from Woodware” and was embossed with Gina K Gold Embossing Powder.

Santa’s Hole in One

Someday, I’d like to sit down and color this image, but for now, white embossing powder on blue card stock makes a simple but fun card for golf enthusiasts! The stamp is called “Hole in One” by Gary Patterson/Stamps Happen.

White Warm Wishes

Dry embossing and a stacked die cut greeting were used to make this white on white card design. The embossing folder is “Swirl Baubles” by Crafts-Too, and the greeting was cut with the “Festive Mini Expressions – Warmest Wishes die” by Sue Wilson/Creative Expressions.

Joy

This final sample was made with one die cut and the same papers from the first card above. The die is “Joy Nativity Die” from Cottage Cutz.

Heat embossing on patterned paper (or plain), dry embossing and die cutting – simple techniques but so many possibilities!!

Thanks for checking out my “simple” card projects!
