Christmas Quick and Easy Cards

I wanted to create some quick and easy Christmas cards for some children and the Jolly Christmas papers were perfect to use for these cards. – shares Steph about the first set of cards.

Products use for the cards:
Canvas Corp Red on White Cardstock

Canvas Corp Black on White Cardstock
Canvas Corp Jolly Christmas on White
Canvas Corp Jolly Christmas Sayings
Canvas Corp Natural Burlap
Tattered Angels High Impact Paint – Red
Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze – Saffron, PewterSweet Pea
Tattered Angels Baseboard – Sunburst, Clay
Trimmer, Scissors
Die cut machine, Dies, Embossing Folder
Paint brush, Ink

Cut and corner round black cardstock. Spritz with Clay and Sunburst mists.

Using a premade card as your base, cut red cardstock to fit and adhere the spritzed black cardstock on top. Add a die cut burlap circle.

Fussy cut the cup of cocoa and cookies and paint it with Saffron Glaze. Once dry, paint the mug with Clay.

Adhere the mug to a fussy cut tag from Jolly Christmas Sayings and add to the card with foam adhesives. Add a fussy cut cookie to the corner.
Your first card is done!

Now onto the second card…
Cut red cardstock to fit card and emboss with a Christmassy design.

Ink the embossed panel to add dimension to the raised elements and add a panel of burlap on top.

Fussy cut the truck and paint it with Sunburst, Saffron and Pewter mists.
Paint Santa’s bag with Red High Impact Paint and Clay mist.

Fussy cut a phrase from Jolly Christmas Sayings and together with the gift bag attach to the card with foam adhesives.
You’re done!
