Super Simple Christmas Cards for Beginners

Today its the Share it Sunday blog hop with the Crafty Collaborators and today I'm making some very simple Christmas cards

You don't need lots of supplies to make beautiful Christmas cards. I've used some In Colour Cardstock in Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen, Tidings of Christmas designer series paper, Best Year stamp set and some Fine Art gold ribbon

The cardbase is 11½" x 4⅛" scored on the long side at 5¾" and on top of this is a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock measuring 5⅝" x 4"

The two pieces of designer series paper measure 3⅞" x 3" and 3⅞" x 2¾" (they do overlap slightly to make it easier to piece them together).

I've put a piece of Fine Art ribbon over the join.

I've stamped in Evening Evergreen ink a sentiment from Best Year stamp set on basic white cardstock and punched this out using the Label Me Lovely punch. I've created a border using the same punch in Evening Evergreen cardstock.

The sentiment is stuck to the card using mini stampin' dimensionals.

Here's a close up of the two individual cards.
