I aimed to design a straightforward card using the Season of Elegance Suite, and I found all the inspiration I needed from the samples provided by Stampin’ Up! in their catalog and online. I recreated one of these elegant, clean-and-simple cards, and I’m thrilled with how it turned out.
To create this card, follow these steps:
- Stamping: Begin by stamping the trees in Crumb Cake and the word “Christmas” in Old Olive onto a Very Vanilla panel.
- Heat Embossing: Heat emboss the word “Merry” with white embossing powder on Cherry Cobbler cardstock. Use the ribbon banner die from the Peaceful Season Dies to cut it out.
- Assembly: Attach the embossed banner to the front of the card using Mini Dimensionals for a bit of lift.
- Finishing Touch: Add a touch of sparkle with Gold Textured Adhesive-Backed Dots for a bit of festive bling.
And there you have it—a beautifully simple and elegant card ready to impress!
Here’s how I decorated the inside of the card: I stamped trees along the bottom and added a coordinating design on the envelope. Although I’m pleased with the overall look, I wish I had stamped the sentiment in Old Olive for a bit more contrast and cohesion.
Cardstock Cuts for this project:
- Crumb Cake – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ card base scored at 4-1/4″,
