15 Minute Card Project ... Pretties in Less Than 1/4 of an Hour

Pin It


Yes, I know, Christmas is over and practically no one is interested in Christmas cards now. 'Cept for me; I could look at Christmas card designs every day!

This 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" holiday card is quick to make and can be used to send joy (and when I say joy, I mean cash), to someone all winter long.

The base is Bazzill card stock; the three circles are punched from scraps of the same card stock. The snowflakes are stamped in white on Bazzill Kraft card stock; the sentiment was over-stamped with olive green Staz-on. I used my Crop-A-Dial to set the metal snowflake eyelets.

Finally, I used my paper piercer to punch dozens of itty-bitty, teeny-weeny holes on the edges of the stamped Kraft card stock. The sentiment was mounted on the card with dimensionals. Easy peasy and ready in less than fifteen minutes!

This card is goin' into my stash ... I'm thinking that it would be nice for a winter wedding, a christening, or a bridal shower ... but what do I know.

Ingredients:

Cardstock: Bazzill "Monochromatic" Green, Kraft
Stamps: All stamps by Nichole Heady, Papertrey Ink, "Snowflake Serenade" collection
Ink: White ink: 'New Canvas' Palette Hybrid; Olive green ink: Staz-On
Tools: 1" circle punch, (McGill); paper piercer, (Making Memories); Crop-A-Dial, (We R Memory Keepers); snowflake eyelets (unknown)

As threatened, I'll be posting that ugly pink and green Valentine's Day card soon!

Stay warm* and thanks for droppin' by today!

*FYI: It is freezin' down here!!!! It's gray and damp here today and the temperature is about 55 degrees with a wind-chill making it feel like it's about 45 degrees. Yes, I hear you laffing and pointing at me but I'm not used to being cold! I'll stop whining now ...

My son received a gorgeous blue-toned holiday card featuring snowflakes and mittens. When I checked the back, I realized it was made by the artist who creates this blog!
Not many 9 year olds are interested in keeping cards, but this card he has displayed proudly on his dresser.
