I’m having a great time creating cute Christmas cards! The card I made today used the same basic layout as the penguin Christmas card did yesterday, using three focal point images across the front of the card and adding a sentiment. You can see how completely different today’s card feels, just by using a different stamp set, which shows you how you can use practically ANY stamp set you have to create this type of card!
PLEASE CLICK HERE to watch the video where I made this card. It turned out SO cute!
I started out with a Crumb Cake cardstock base, measuring 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ and folded in half. On top of that, I layered another piece of Crumb Cake cardstock, measuring 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″, which I had put through an embossing folder to give it extra texture and interest. I LOVE the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder! It’s gorgeous!
Next, I layered on a 1″ x 5-1/2″ strip of the peppermint-striped paper in the Take a Bow Designer Series Paper pack (DSP), which added the perfect Christmassy touch!
I stamped three houses, using Versamark ink, from the Humble Home stamp set onto a scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock, and heat embossed it with White WOW Embossing Powder. Now these houses look like gingerbread houses, don’t they?? SO CUTE!! I punched them out using the matching Humble Home Builder Punch, and layered them onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The middle house is decorated with the ADORABLE Peppermint Gems, which honestly are my favorite embellishment that I have seen us carry in years. THE BEST!!
The sentiment is stamped with Real Red ink onto a Basic White cardstock scrap, and trimmed at a slant on both sides.
The inside of the card is decorated simply, but just adds to the cuteness of the overall card. After stamping the house in Crumb Cake ink, I added some Real Red to the heart and then made it shimmer by coloring on a bit of Wink of Stella.
I hope you enjoyed this card layout! PLEASE CLICK HERE to visit the card I made yesterday, using the little penguins from the Snowy Wonder paper pack, showing you this same basic card layout with different images. You can use this same layout for any cards or seasons! It’s perfect!
