stampin up ribbon, designer series paper

Love this quick and simple Christmas card.  This will be great for that special someone or to drop a gift card inside.  I used the packages from the Nordic Noel Designer Series Paper.  I cut the paper down into 6″ strips so I could use my Square Framelits to “cut” the presents.  Then I added 1/4″ to the size of the square and cut the Garden Green card stock for matting the presents.  The “Merry Christmas” is from Petite Pairs – stamped with Garden Green ink on Garden Green card stock.  The finishing touch is the cute ribbon tied in a bow just like the presents.  There are a lot of elements on this card and I wanted the weight to be balanced so I added a layer of  Whisper White.

Did you decide to send hand-stamped holiday cards this year?  Leave a comment below and let me know!

Here is the card with a coordinating envelope – that’s what I mean about giving it to someone specials!  I made the envelope with extra heavy printing paper.  I get the bright white paper.  It’s easier to fold for an envelope than card stock and it doesn’t add a lot of weight to whatever I’m mailing.
