I have been working a lot lately on try to come up with easy recreatable designs for some Christmas card classes. I noticed this week that the amazing ladies at The Paper Players have a CAS Green and Red Christmas Challenge, so I came up with this quick card.
I am really begining to like the stamp set Easy Events, it is just so versitile and has images for every occasion. I will metion though that I got this set in Wood Mount and cut the words out from the image so that I could stamp them seperately. I started with a Wild Wasabi card base and stamped the image tone on tone on opposite corners. Next I stamped it on a piece of Naturals Ivory card stock using Black StazOn and coloured it with markers.
The Real Red Card stok was embossed with the Petals a Plenty Impressions Folder and the Big Shot. I punched out a circle window then popped it up on Dimesionals and placed it over the main image. Then I wrapped some of the elegant Very Vanilla Stitched Velvet Ribbon and added a bow. Very Clean and Simple:)
Supplies used:
Stamps: Easy Events
Ink: Black StazOn, Wild Wasabi and Real Read Markers
Papers: Real Red, Naturals Ivory, Wild Wasabi
Accessories: Very Vanilla Stitched Velvet Ribbon, Big Shot, Petals a Plenty Impressions Folder, Basic Pearl Jewels, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Corner Rounder Punch
Have a great day,
Hi Jenn! This is such a sweet Christmas card. Love the embossing and the punched out center to showcase that cute image. The embossing and the ribbon add the perfect amount of texture. Simply stunning!
Thanks so much for joining us this week at the Paper Players! :)

This is soooo pretty, and so clean and simple. I love the stamp used tone-on-tone for the background and for the focal point. I love the texture, too. Thanks for playing with The Paper Players!
