Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Saturday! I'm back with Card # 6 in my Countdown to Christmas Series, where I'm focusing on quick and easy cards that can be massed produced.
For this card, all that you need are 3 snippets of patterned paper and a bit of ribbon to create a stack of Christmas Gifts.
To start, I've embossed a panel with a snowflake embossing folder. I have only scrap pieces left from the Carta Bella Christmas Market 6x6 paper pad so I cut 3 squares of varying sizes. I cut thin strips to act as "lids" for the boxes (this is apparent on the bottom gift).
I have loads of Christmas ribbon in my stash so I trimmed a piece and adhered flat, then tied a bow and adhered with a glue dot. TIP: I like to use Fray Check on the ends of ribbon. This keeps it from fraying.
I had a few pieces of ephemera left from the collection so I added a banner tag. After adhering the panel to the card base, I spritzed it with Shimmer Spray for lots of sparkly goodness.
I thought the sentiment was such a great match to the card theme. The sentiment is from the Memory Box Yuletide Moments Stamp Set.
That's all I have for today. Make a mental note of this design for next year, however this would also be a great Birthday card design too! Until next time, Happy Crafting!
