Festive Friday: Super Simple Christmas Card

Posted on: Friday, August 15th, 2008

Lovely as a Tree

Festive Friday’s are a new feature on my blog where I post projects that are holiday and event-based such as Christmas, Halloween,  Thanksgiving, Valentines, Easter, Mother’s & Father’s Day, new baby, etc.  Although I was going to start with the first upcoming event which is Halloween, I am still awaiting my order from the new Stampin’ Up! catalogue.  Unfortunately here in Canada we don’t have the option of expedited shipping, which means we have to wait 7-10 days to receive our orders. In this case, it’s a real bummer because I’m just dying to play with all my new stuff. 

For my first ever Festive Friday  I thought I’d share with you this super simple and very economical Christmas Card. Because it is so economical, I’ve put together a Christmas Kit by Mail with it. If you have none of the supplies listed below, you can order the whole kit for $114.25 plus 10% shipping, and taxes.  While it sounds like a lot, this kit will make 60 cards!  Best of all, the two stamp sets used are very versatile.  Lovely as a Tree (pg. 106) is wonderful for Christmas, Fall & masculine-themed cards.  The greeting set Heard from the Heart (p. 145) has 4 different multi-occasion greetings.

Don’t need 60 cards because you don’t have that many people to send it to?  Why not split it with a friend or a few friends and then get together for a fun night of stamping, music and chocolate…what could be better? Best of all this card is so easy that anyone, even a brand-new stamper could easily make it.
