Making an Easy & Elegant Christmas Card

We had so much fun yesterday creating an easy and elegant Christmas card. Ann just looks forward to Tuesdays when she can get together with our viewers. The card was in her head (but I put it there). And I’m so glad it worked out.

We hadn’t used the A Child is Born set yet, so of course, Ann wanted to break that out. Her voice isn’t totally back, but we’re putting our paws together that she will be 100% soon.

So, here is the card. We’ll put the supplies and measurements of this easy to make card farther down.

Enhancement Ideas

Now, there’s no reason that you couldn’t shade that a bit just by using a Blender Pen and smooshing around some of the secret Sea ink.

OR you could use Stampin’ Blends or markers in colors of your choice to color the images.

While my typist is clicking her keys, she thought it might be interesting to use Wink of Stella on the baby’s face. (Hey! It’s Jesus!)

But you do what you think you’d like and let us know.

Are You Short on Christmas Ideas?

Are you getting our weekly newsletter? We just sent our 2nd Week of Christmas Ideas project to our newsletter readers yesterday. And next Tuesday, we’ll be sending our 3rd Week. And it goes all the way up until Christmas! You can make them all or store them to use for later inspiration. But you need to get on the list so we can start you out with 5 Quick Card Layouts and then our weekly cardmaking project.
