Hey everyone!
Some of you may know, but I was totally MIA all last week! The blog posted automatically so you had no idea huh? ;) I enjoyed a wonderful Disney Cruise with my entire family! It was so much fun...I will tell you more about it on Wednesday :)
I wanted to share a quick EASY Christmas card that you could make...if you haven't even thought about making cards yet...because time is running out!
I used the awesome Christmas & Winter Stack that is out right now. Kinda my "go-to" stack this season!
A few different patterned papers, a punch and some ribbon and that's it! I know there are lots of incredibly detailed cards out there right now. But sometimes, simple is better when you are making a handful at a time! I hope each of you do something this season to put a little handmade love into your holidays. Cards, tags...anything! I am making LOTS this year :)
I have a few winners to send some stacks to from the last 2 weeks! Congratulations to:
I love this little tree! I can see it with glittered paper scattered through it, or using buttons with glitter :) Thanks for the cute idea, Erin!
Ooh, Susan's sketches are always fantastic, and I love what you created with it! Great color scheme! This month, I am going to be sure to get my entry in on time!!!
My Christmas wish list got a lot longer. : )
Send me your addresses!! Remember, each comment on ANY blog post throughout the week gets you entered into the giveaway!!
Ok, back to playing catch up!! Love vacation but I kinda do love getting back into my routine once I am home. See you back here on Wednesday!
Love that stack! Christmas is such a fun season to create for. Thanks for the great ideas!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear you had a chance to have some fun! Thanks for the cute, simple idea!
ReplyDeleteI love this stack!!!!
ReplyDeleteCute card- I really need to take that quick and simple idea to heart next year! I kinda blew it this year and I'm struggling to finish our cards. plllbbbbtttt to me! ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree. Sometimes simpler is better - especially around the holidays!
ReplyDeleteLove your card. This stack is so bright and cheerful. Perfect for this time of the year.
ReplyDeleteVery simple, yet cute card. Must try!! Glad you had fun with the family!
ReplyDeleteCute card. Need the motivation for the simple cards. I've started making mine but I have a long, long way to go before I'm done. -- I'm so excited I won some stacks! Thanks so much Erin.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea! I have all the new stacks and maybe I will be able to make my Christmas cards after all this year!
ReplyDeletecongratulations girls:)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea thanks for sharing. This could be a mass production and have some left over to give to others in a card set.

ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your trip!! I really like your card, simple is good this time of the year!!

Cute card. I've had a hard time finding DCWV Christmas paper stacks. All the stores around my house have been sold out.
ReplyDeleteLove the card!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that Christmas and Winter stack, it looks like it would be so versatile. Your card is so cute too.
ReplyDeleteCute card. I love making cards.
ReplyDeleteYou have to tell us about the cruise! Hope you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a wonderful family cruise. Cute card. I like the simple ones, too.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a great vacation! The catd is very cute. I made mine very simple this year as well. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the card idea Erin! Perfectly simple - I love it!!
ReplyDeleteI never have enough time to get Handmade cards made for Christmas. I usually just get a photo one made and mailed. This one is simple so maybe for a few extra special people this could be done :) thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI really need to go get that stack for myself. I love nearly every sheet of that whole thing. It's all so pretty!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the winners, and your card is simply beautiful..
ReplyDeleteScrappy hugs

Congrats to the winners! And Erin, sounds like you had a wonderful, busy vacation! So many lucky people!
ReplyDeleteLove the papers in that stack! Cruises are great vacations; I bet you and your family had a wonderful time. Love quick and easy cards.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I am in love with these stacks also and since they are 50% off at Joann's, I had to get them all. Beautiful card, I do have to admit.
ReplyDeleteSo easy! And I have this stack. I might have to case this one! Lol
ReplyDeleteGina
The stacks are all so pretty & fun! It's hard to choose which ones to buy. I have several but wish I could have them ALL! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your card and what a great stack of paper to get things started with.
ReplyDeleteI did a similar thing with our Christmas cards this year. Metallic red cards, cutouts from the Chirstmas & Winter stack and a little glitter to highlight a few words or pictures on the cards. Simple but cute!
ReplyDeleteI haven't even started my Christmas cards yet! I'm hoping to do that tomorrow and finish Friday! I'm waaaaaaaay behind!

ReplyDeleteOh, what a thrill to see that I am a winner today! Thank you so much---can't wait to see what stacks I will be creating with next!!! And I love your simple card....I have procrastinated long enough, and this sample will surely help me to use up all the scraps of Christmas papers I have accumulated and get my cards out! Thanks for another great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love the Christmas stacks. I am still using the one from last year but will be buying this years too, for future Christmases. Thanks for sharing your card and glad you had a great time on Vacation.
