Good Monday morning! Sherri here, sharing some holiday goodness! It's hard to imagine planning for Christmas during this sweltering heat, but I have seen so many crafters lately starting to make Christmas cards for their stash. Sounds like a smart idea, since I seem to always scramble in December to get them all done!
So, today I am sharing a Christmas card that is budget-friendly and can easily be made assembly-line style. I also love that it incorporates the trendy "sunburst" technique that is everywhere right now!
To make this card, I first cut four 4" square pieces of patterned paper. This will make four cards of this design. Stack the four squares on your cutting mat and use a metal ruler and craft knife to cut through all four layers. This is an easy technique because you don't have to worry about measuring anything-just be sure that your papers are perfectly stacked. Make three cuts that meet in the bottom left corner. Then simply re-assemble the papers into sunburst designs on your 4" card bases.
The tag is made by stamping several snowflakes from {ippity}'s Season of Joy stamp set onto kraft cardstock with white ink. I then stamped the sentiment over the top with black ink. Round the top corners for a quick tag, then wrap the card front with white satin ribbon and add a pretty little bow.
This design could easily be used for so many occasions simply by changing up the papers and stamps! I think it would make a super cute birthday card using the party hat and a sentiment from {ippity}'s Party Hat Wishes!
Here is the set I used, Season of Joy:
I am linking my card up to this week's Linky Party over on the {ippity} blog. We'd love to see what you have created with YOUR {ippity} stamps!
I really love the sunburst of patterned paper and the big white bow is such a pretty detail. What a lovely card!
