I chose an 'easy' card so those who feel rushed in getting their Christmas cards made. Plus these cards use your DSP and an embossing folder too; both make a card special.
Join me here when I share some tips on making these fun and easy cards tonight.
Gather these supplies:
Card bases 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
White or neutral background layer 3 3/4" X 5", will be textured
Another layer 4" X 5 1/4"
'ornament' circles cut from DSP – mine are almost 3" around
Silver or gold paper (or other) for the top of the ornament
Twine or thin ribbon
Other items: Greeting stamps, ink, embossing folder, snowflakes
I made one card into an easy fun fold by folding the front of the card base back on itself. For this one I chose to add greetings from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set.

Rainbow of Happiness in Black & White with a ‘pop’ of color!
I saw a similar card using the Rainbow of Happiness that was in Black & pink and I knew it would be perfect for my Flowerbug's Team swap this month. The theme was Black & White with a 'pop' of color.
I chose to use Magenta Madness. It's retiring this month and available herewhile supplies last.
I stamped the three rainbows in Black Memento ink using my Stamparatus. Making multiple cards with the Stamparatus is THE BEST WAY! There's no guessing with stamp placement.
The Dandy Wishes dies in the Garden Wishes bundle is 20% off right now. You can see that here. I just love the die-cuts and greetings in it. *I wonder if this will be on the retiring list tomorrow…..
The 'Thanks' and 'Amazing' dies are from the Amazing Thanks dies in the 2022 Jan-June catalog. You can see them here. I love the double layering you get with them!!
This card is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" when finished and lays flat for mailing but stands up beautifully for display.
You can see how this is assembled in the video below. I also list the measurements below too.
The card includes two white panels; one for the middle and one for the back. We stamped the wave from the Waves of Inspiration stamp setusing Pacific Point ink on the middle layer. We added some Bermuda Bay ink on the wave using a Blending Brush. We also added a soft bit of Pacific Point for the sky.
Some left the back empty so they could add a greeting later; depending on what they needed at the time.
As you can see below the gorgeous Waves of the Ocean designer paper includes a variety of 'paint poured' designs & colors. I wanted it to be the main feature of the card and this fun fold made it happen! This designer paper is available through May 1st or while supplies last. This pretty paper, the foil and Waves rhinestones will not be in the new Annual catalog.
