                 2 Quick & Easy Christmas Cards!

Here are a few easy and quick cards to put together.

I used the Christmas Tags & More Designer Series Paper to make these two cards.

Card 1

I cut down a piece of the Christmas Tags & More DSP ornaments image to 5 1/8" x 3 5/8". The piece that was trimmed off, I cut to 5 3/8" x 1 3/4".

Attach the strip that was cut off to a Real Red Card Stock card base measuring 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2".

 Wrap some ribbon around the card and tie into a knot. Attach the ornaments panel using Dimensionals over top. 

Stamp a sentiment from the Ornamental Christmas Bundle onto a thin strip of Basic White C/S using black ink. Attach it to the card using Dimensionals.

Die cut 3 Gold Foil stars using the Ornamental Christmas  Dies. Attach to the card.

For the inside I added a Basic White layer and glued one more Gold Foil star to the panel.

Card 2

Cut a Shaded Spruce card stock base to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score in half at 4 1/4". 

Tie a Real Red Ribbon around the card base and tie into a knot.

Cut a piece of the Christmas Tags & More DSP that has the greenery bough on it down to 4 1/4" x 3". 

Stamp Merry Christmas using Memento Black Ink. This sentiment is from the October 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Attach it to a Real Red C/S layer cut to 4 1/2" x 3 1/4". Attach this panel to the card base using Dimensionals. 

Decorate using the Traditional Sparkling Sequins.

For the inside I used the leftover piece of DSP when I cut down the bough design. I cut it down to 1 3/4" x 5", attach inside the card and then attach a 3 1/2" x 5" piece of Basic White C/S over it. Easy peasy!

I hope you have enjoyed todays easy Christmas cards!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Alternative Paper Pumpkin Ideas

 Alternative Paper Pumpkin Ideas and a BONUS card!!

I had a lot of fun assembling Januarys and Decembers Paper Pumpkin Kits. I usually make one of the cards as directed then I add a few more products and put my own creative take on it.

I added some black ribbon loops behind the sentiment. This beautiful black sparkly ribbon came with the kit.

On this card I turned the layout to open at the bottom and I added a layer of Poppy Parade Card Stock behind the stamped panel. I cut the black scalloped trim in half and attached it behind the "Love" panel. 

Here I rotated the layout to portrait and added a Gold Foil layer behind the art panel. Then I cut the black scallop in half again and attached it behind the panel and added some Rhinestones.

I love this card!! I stamped some flowers and hearts using Poppy Parade Ink onto the card base corners. I then adhered the black scallops to the bottom of the art layer, tie the black ribbon around the panel, pop up the panel using Dimensionals, then I added Rhinestones to every scallop! So pretty!!

On this card I added a strip of Poppy Parade Card Stock behind the art panel. 

For this one I turned the card into a landscape position and added some Gold Thread behind the sentiment. 

 

 Here I moved the art panel to the left side, lining it up with the card base edge. I added a thin strip of Gold Foil to the right edge then added the black scallops. I also added a small Gold Foil strip to the bottom of the sentiment.  

These cards are from Decembers Paper Pumpkin Kit. 

I simply added some Gold Thread and a few Rhinestones that I coloured with my Stampin' Blends to match the card stock.

One this adorable racoon card I added a few Gold Foil Sprigs behind the little critter and a heart rhinestone.
