Hello Everyone ~ are you ready for a Clean and Simple Christmas Card idea?
December 25th is fast approaching and if you are like me you are quickly running out of time. I am always looking for gifts, cards, and even recipes that are efficient and don’t take a lot of time.
Since I still need a few Christmas Cards to send out I wanted something that I could create in about 15 minutes. The Clean and Simple Christmas Card fits that bill. Using a Whisper White card base, I added some embossing using a folder which will add some interest without a lot of layers making for a clean look.
To keep my layers simple I used some designer series paper. I chose 2 patterns from the same collection of papers. Using the same collection means your papers coordinate and it did not take a lot of trial and error to find them. This is makes designing your card efficient taking little time to choose the patterns.
Finally using a simple image means you can quickly stamp the panel and add it to your card base. Another time saver as it requires just a few ink colors.
Finally using simple shapes like rectangles makes cutting your layers a speedy process. Putting all the pieces together gives you a beautiful card like the Clean and Simple Christmas Card like the one below.
