3 Quick and Easy Christmas Cards

Today, I have 3 Quick and Easy Christmas Cards to share with you. I’m finishing my Spellbinders Club Kits for the Month and creating backgrounds with the Stencil Club and BetterPress Club, so I made these cards quick, easy, and mass-produced. We all need those when the holiday crunch is upon us, right? I’m just curious: How many Christmas Cards do you mail out each year?

Trying to Win the Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest

I had fun with this one, Trying to Win the Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest. It started with this month’s Embossing Folder Club, the lovely Checkered Argyle, which is quite conservative and lovely. Then I decided our little Festive Friends needed to be included (Small Die of the Month Club), and after I got his sweater all argyled to match the background, I thought, “Ugly Christmas Sweater.” So I grabbed the reindeer dies from the Large Die of the Month Club, Cozy Toes Slippers.

The Blingiest Birthday Card Ever

Today I have the Blingiest Birthday Card Ever, haha…..I’m playing with Simon Says Stamp Sparkling Candles Dies. They are part of this month’s regular release over at Simon, and they are super cool.
