Pretty Christmas Classics card; video & free project sheet

We made this pretty card at my November card clubs. I also featured it on last week's video too.

I feel the clean layout shows off the pretty die-cuts. A simple piece of designer paper and a textured background add all the details needed to make this stand out card.

I gave them a few choices on their cards – greetings and embossing folders.

I've found the Christmas Classics bundle to be my 'go to' for holiday cards this year.  Between the pretty dies and the wonderful greetings and botanical assortment it has it all! I love how the white greeting die-cut fits so perfectly on the detailed leaf die-cut. See this bundle here.

  You can get a share of this pretty designer paper in my Annual Catalog paper share. I still have a few spots left! Message me here Details are at the bottom of this post.

  My colors include Mossy Meadow, Polished Pink & Balmy Blue.  The pretty die-cut flowers are all from the Awash in Beauty designer paper.  The Organic Beauty dies are designed perfectly to match the DSP!  The only stamping I did here are the two greetings; all of the flowers are die-cut from either card stock or DSP.

  Do you see the little bit of color on the Pink blossom die-cut?  I used Wink of Stella and my White craft ink to add color. Watch the video below to see how.
