I wanted to create a simple card that could be reproduced easily in large quantities for those who make cards for large groups like nursing homes, churches, schools, etc. I thought this card would be one that would be fast and simple and yet beautiful, I hope you think so too.
Here is what I came up with…
The card base is Real Red (my favorite red for Christmas)
cardstock that is cut 5 ½ x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”. I then took a piece of Gold Foil that
measured 3 x 5 ¼” and embossed it using the Evergreen Forrest 3D Embossing
Folder (wow, do I love this folder, so beautiful and so versatile definitely not
just for Christmas). I added this to the
left side of my cardbase.
Next, I took a piece of the Heartwarming Hugs Designer
Series Paper that measured 2 x 3 ¾” and I wrapped it with a piece of the Gold
Shimmer Ribbon (you could add a bow but I thought a nice square knot looked
right). Once my ribbon was on, I adhered
this piece to the card base near the bottom as shown.
For my focal point I took a piece of Basic White
cardstock that measured 2 x 3 ½” and I stamped the sentiment “Merry Christmas”
in Real Red ink at the bottom and then I stamped my tree using VersaMark ink
above it. I added Gold Stampin’ Emboss
powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool (both the sentiment and the tree are
from the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set). I
added this to a piece of Real Red cardstock that measured 2 ¼ x 3 ¾” and then
popped it up on the front right of my card using Dimensionals.
As you can see this really was a fast and simple card
that would be great for mass produced cards.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it. As always you can find the supplies to create
