Sweet Sugarplum Christmas

WOW!! How simple is this?!?

Just two stamps, one color of ink, two colors of card stock + white & some sparkly ribbon & you've got a great card to give someone special!!

It doesn't ALWAYS have to be complicated to be beautiful!

The color combo I used was Sweet Sugarplum & Always Artichoke. Very nice for a Christmas card & definitely this months "5 second card"!

3 Candle Card

Such an elegant card....

And so simple to make!

Here's what I used :

Little Flower Punch

Bird Builder Punch

Leaf Punch or Thinlit

Pearls

Holly Berry Embossing Folder 

Candles are 1" wide & heights are 2 1/4", 2 1/2" & 2". 

Fun to make but very elegant!

Snow-face Gift Card Holder

S-I-M-P-L-E!!!

Softly Falling embossing folder, 3/4" circle punch, free hand cut "nose" & wide ribbon "scarf" is all there is to this card!! 

Then....if you want you can see below for the gift card holder inside. But it certainly would do as a "non-gift card holder" card as well!

Card & Tag or Gift Card Holder

A gift card can look a little cheap... Not that it is but if you wanna put a little more "uuumpf" into your gift cards this year here's the way to do it. 

Cut your CS in 1/2 lengthwise & fold in 1/2. Round the bottom corners. If your rounder won't go through double thicknesses (mine won't) then just press hard & it will leave enough of an impression that you can then follow the impression with your scissors.  On the card front, score down 1-1 1/2" (depending my on the look you want) 

Cut & round corners on DSP & adhere. Stamp greeting with white ink & embellish as you wish. Adhere edges of card so it will hold tag or gift card. Create tag & embellish. 

A great way to dress up a gift card, wouldn't you say?
