Who Wants Another Clean & Simple Christmas Card Idea?
How about learning how to make a different hand made Christmas card using pretty much the same supplies that we used before? Only a few changes, but you will see how different this card looks.
This is another card that I did in several “steps”. I did the basic one here, and then I “Stepped it Up” in Stamping Family to include more supplies, more layers, just a way to take this same basic card and do more with it. In fact, this concept was such a hit in Stamping Family, that we made it into it's own section in the site – so there will be more and more added.
Today's card is really just about measurements. With the use of 1 punch, all these strips are transformed from rectangles to pennants and it really makes an impact on the card.
Think of this card as a template. Can you picture it with different patterned paper? And a different sentiment? Different ribbon or embellishment? And then Linda had a great idea – taking it and rotating it – and making it into something entirely different. (Linda's idea is featured in Stamping Family.)
Here is the card:
Simple, right? Imagine where all you can take this card as far as scaling it up! And you can totally get your kids/grandkids in on the action in making these cards!
Here is the video tutorial showing you just how easy this is:
