Papertrey Nov 2016 Create Along With Us...


I wasn't planning to make something for this contest because I'm making more Christmas cards right now than birthday cards. Then I saw Laurie Willison's simple birthday card and used the same idea for a Christmas card.

Here's Laurie's card that I used for inspiration:   ⇓  ⇓  ⇓


For my card, I started with a piece of white cardstock and stamped Happy Holidays in Pure Poppy and New Leaf inks. I really like these two colors together - very Christmasy! I added a strip from Holiday Plaid along the right side.

I felt like the card had a little too much blank space at the bottom and added the dotted double line. Quick and easy - which is really nice during this hectic time of year!😳

Card Details:
  • Stamps:  PTI Keep It Simple: Happy Holidays, Inside & Out: Love
  • Paper:  PTI White Stampers Select, Holiday Plaid
  • Ink:  PTI Pure Poppy, New Leaf
  • Size:  4.25" x 5.5"
