A Sweet Christmas Inspiration | A Merry Christmas Card with Elena

Hi, dear friends! Today I'm sharing a Clean & Simple Holiday project featuring A Sweet Christmas collection by Sharyn Sowell. Christmas is coming soon and it’s always very busy time for us. Everything has to be done perfectly and very often there is no time to create Christmas cards for all relatives and friends. So today I’d like to show you very quick and easy Christmas card.

To make this card I created 4x5 3⁄4" top folding card base and applied soft green ink onto the background. Then I die-cut a panel using die from Recipe Card Set out of white cardstock. I stamped some leaves and berries on the panel and covered red dots with glossy accents.

I die-cut Merry Christmas sentiment using From Our Home to Yours set of dies, colored it and covered with glossy accents again. I foam mounted the sentiment onto the card.

Spellbinders Supplies:

Other Supplies:

White Cardstock; Hero Arts Soft Olive Ink Pad; Distress Markers; Hero Arts SB127 Holiday Tags Stamp Set; Double-sided foam Adhesive; Glossy Accent. Hope this idea will help you to be completely ready for Holidays! See you next time!
