Every year I think I'll have my Christmas cards made and in the mail by now but, I never seem to make that December 1st deadline. So, I'm working on them...but I'll keep them a surprise for now. In the meantime here are some great ideas for Christmas cards that are quick and easy but nice. Some were CASE'd from other cards that I've seen on Stampin' Connection and some I've done at workshops or my Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack.
This is one of my favorite Christmas cards this year. It was inspired by several similar cards that I saw on Stampin' Connection (the place for Stampin' Up! demonstrators to share their ideas...love it!)
This card was copied from fellow demonstrator Kathy Kalthoff. I colored the pearls with a red permanent marker. So, quick and easy to add a WOW! to your card.
This cute card was CASE'd (copy and share everything) from Sandi MacIver. I left off a second layer of punched lace and added some color on the berries for my version. It's all done in Soft Suede. The berries are watercolored in Real Red.
I've done this card several times and I still like it! Sponged in Bashful Blue and dressed up with Rhinestones.
This card was shamelessly copied from Lyssa Zwolanek. Made with the Stitched Stockings stamp set and the new stocking punch that coordinates with the stamp set.
I've seen several versions of this card go by. I think Debra Currier made the original. I went with a nice clean look.Whisper White and Cherry Cobbler seem to be my go-to Christmas colors this year. The wreath is made with a stamp from Delicate Doilies with the center punched out. I colored the Rhinestones with a permanent marker (just like the pearls) before adding them to the wreath.
One last idea. This one was inspired by a fall card that my downline, Shelly D. gave me that used Rich Razzelberry and fall leaves. I changed the colors and the stamp set and came up with this Christmas version done in Cherry Cobbler with Early Espresso accents.
Enjoy! and Happy Stamping!
