Easy Trimming the Town Christmas Card

Easy Trimming the Town Christmas Card

Don’t forget about the Designer Paper Sale going on this month (which is just about over) at Stampin’ Up! and the paper on this Easy Trimming the Town Christmas Card is one that is on sale, just in time for the holidays! This particular card is one that is about as simple as they get yet is colorful and festive and will spread holiday cheer!

The card base is Misty Moonlight, one of our In Colors, with a layer of Poppy Parade. I originally thought the red color on this paper was Real Red, but it is actually Poppy Parade. Not that you can’t use Real Red because I did on this other card I made!

I just cut a layer of the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper with the smaller buildings on it. It is bright and colorful and makes a “happy” holiday card! Then all I had to do was add a greeting!

The greeting is from the Banner Year Stamp Set. This is a set that you might overlook but I have gotten a lot of use out of it with its many greetings and cute little images. I stamped it in Misty Moonlight Ink on Whisper White Cardstock and layered on a piece of Misty Moonlight Cardstock. I used the Banners Pick a Punch to punch the banner ends. If you don’t have the punch, just eyeball it and cut with Paper Snips. To help the greeting stand out, I layered a piece of Poppy Parade underneath and popped it all up on Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

The designer paper already had snowflakes printed on it, but you could add some Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes or some other sequins or gems if you wanted to jazz up the card a little bit more.

Just add a layer of Whisper White inside the card since the Misty Moonlight card base is a dark color. Maybe cut out one of the little buildings or add a strip of the designer paper or stamp a Christmas greeting inside if you like.

Be sure to check out the Designer Series Paper Sale, going on now in the Stampin’ Up! Online Store, only until October 31!
