Simple Christmas Card


Christmas time is definitely upon us! The fire is going, the stockings are hung, and the tree has been trimmed! I have made/bought a lot of my gifts far, but I still have a few items on my list. One thing that is definitely consuming my time is making Christmas cards. I've made a few very detailed ones, but I also wanted to make something that I could mass produce fairly quickly to fill up the slots on my card list. I opted to put the Cricut away for these cards and just stick with my Cuttlebug (which was actually an early Christmas present for me from Daniel).

I used the basic stamp die and gift box stamp embossing folder that comes with the machine, as well as the Snowflakes embossing folder. I cranked out a bunch of the embossed stamps and embossed snowflakes on some Christmas-patterned paper I picked up from work. After adhering the paper to basic A2 cards, I stuck three present stamps on each card with some pop up dots. The result is not the most intricate card ever, but it takes very little time and still looks very festive.
