What happens you combine Echo Park cardstock with a Stampin' Up stamp and Spellbinder's Nestabilities? You get fun Christmas cards that are as cute as they are easy! Including stamping, heat embossing, cutting out the elements and assembling, I made these two card in about thirty minutes!
I began by stamping the Merry and Bright Stampin' Up phrase in embossing ink on smooth white cardstock. I topped the embossing ink with bright red embossing powder and heat embossed. Using round nesties, I cut out the Merry and Bright phrase. I used red chalk to highlight the edge of the white circles and then I used Nestie's Lacey Circles and cut out the lacey matting.
I affixed the Merry and Bright circles to a fun snowflake print by Echo Park atop a glittery blue mat. Stampin' Up ribbon was added, as well as fun glittery corners and then the entire card front was mounted onto a red card.
The inside of the card was stamped with a Stampin' Up Christmas greeting and two little red snowflakes. The cards have matching red envelops that were stamped with white snowflakes.
And now I have to go wrap the two items that UPS delivered after dinner.... And I had foolishly thought I was finished wrapping!! I checked my list and discovered that I have three more items due in this week and UPS confirms that they are on their way! So five more packages to wrap and THEN I will be done!!
