Project: Simple and Quick Christmas Card

Project: Simple and Quick Christmas Card

If you don’t have a lot of time to make cards this holiday season try to keep it simple. A one layer card helps reduce the amount of paper you need to cut and also doesn’t add a lot of bulk to your envelopes. Add a watercolor wash onto a piece of folded watercolor paper, let it dry and then gold emboss your stamped word over top, add a few punched stars and you’ve got a simple but beautiful hand made Christmas card. Head over to the I Make Cards blog for all the details.
