This has not been a crafty holiday season for me. However, I did manage to put together two very last minute Christmas cards. It was a Christmas Eve miracle!
I followed an easy 1-2-3 card-making formula that you can use for any occasion:
- Background Paper
- Sentiment
- Detailed Embellishment
For my cards:
- The background paper was stamped using a hand carved stamp and a custom ink pad, but you could grab a sheet of pretty scrapbook paper to make the process quicker.
- For my sentiment, I used my ScanNCut to create exactly what I wanted. However, you could just as easily stamp it or use letter stickers.
- As for my embellishments, I purposely created tiny differences. Over time, I have discovered that this makes the process of creating multiples more creative and fun for me. And yet, because they're basically the same, I don't really have to spend that much extra time figuring out a design that works. Check it out:
So although Christmas has passed us by, I hope you'll take this easy formula and try making cards for an upcoming birthday, Valentine's Day, or whatever holiday is next on your calendar!
