Warm Wishes--a simple holiday card



Hi friends!  It's probably time I started on my Christmas cards, don't you think?  *giggle*  I've had a serious lack of crafting motivation since being sick, but I'm hoping to get a stack of simple holiday cards done this weekend.  I thought I'd pop in and share one today that I made last during a crafty get-together last weekend with Jessica Davis and Suzanne Dahlberg.

I finally inked up WPlus9's set, Winter Wishes, which I adore.  I stamped the large medallion onto a white cardstock base, then centered one of the sentiments from the set below it.  I added a pretty scalloped edge with PTI's Edgers #4 die (thanks, Jessica!), then adhered a panel of red cardstock behind it.  

Cardstock:  Papertrey Ink (Pure Poppy, white)
Stamps:  WPlus9 Design Studio (Winter Wishes)
Ink:  Clearsnap (Fireberry, Evergreen)
Tools:  Papertrey Ink (Edgers #4 die), corner rounder
Accessories:  Michaels (rhinestones)


This would be a great design to mass produce, and it's relatively flat for mailing.

Thanks for visiting today!  I'll have more holiday goodies to share with you soon!

Perfect for mailing and a great card. Love the scalloped border at the bottom - not good as my PTI wish list is huge LOL! Hopefully Christmas and birthday will make a dint :)
