Quick and Easy Christmas Card Alternative

Next, let's review the supplies used to make this project.  I kept everything very simple knowing that you might be making a lot of these.

Now let's make this simple card for the busy stamper.  The next section has all the dimensions – told you I've got you covered.

1. Stamp the “cheers” greeting and three wine bottles on scrap Basic White card stock
2. Color the wine bottles using Stampin’ Blends as shown
3. Die cut
   • the medium sized rectangle in Basic White from the Everyday Details dies
   • the second largest banner in Basic White from the Nested Essentials dies
   • the three stamped wine bottles from the Attention Shoppers dies
   • six more wine bottles from scrap Basic White using the Attention Shoppers dies
4. Die emboss the Basic White layer with the Distressed Tile folder
5. Glue the blank wine bottles behind the colored ones making three stacked wine bottles
6. Glue the wine bottles to the center of the die cut rectangle
7. Glue the die cut rectangle to the upper left corner of the die embossed layer
8. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the greeting banner to the lower right of the die embossed layer
9. Add a few Adhesive Backed Dots to the die embossed layer
10. Attach the card base to the embossed layer using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Do you like the idea of this card, but maybe not exactly what you're seeing?  Here are some alternatives to consider:

• don't use wine bottles, use three of any small images
• cut a rectangle for the layer behind the colored images and hand cut a banner for the greeting
• change the greeting shape to a circle, oval or square
• use different embellishments or even twine/ribbon
• use a different embossing folder to change the mood of the card
• replace some of the white elements with colored card stock
