Easy Handmade Holiday Card Using Stampin' Up! Making Christmas Bright

Hello, my crafty friends. It is the first Wednesday of November and today I am featuring another holiday card to help inspire you to get started on your holiday cards. My quick and simple card today features the Making Christmas Bright Stamp Set and coordinating Christmas Bulb Builder Punch introduced in the 2018 Holiday Catalog and available in the 2019-20 Annual Catalog.

In keeping with the "spirit" of making "a lot" of holiday cards, once again this is a fairly basic design concept. The base card is Whisper White Cardstock and the layer build is 1) Shaded Spruce (5.25" x 4") and 2) Whisper White (5" x 3.75"). Stamp 2 rows of the string of lights and 1 curve black line for "hanging" the Christmas bulbs punched from the 2018-20 In Colors (I used Blueberry Bushel, Pineapple Punch and Grapefruit Grove), Shaded Spruce and Gold Foil for the base.

The build on the bottom is an angled-cut piece of the Wrapped in Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper, a thin strip of Gold Foil Sheet, and an even thinner strip of Shaded Spruce. The sentiment is fussy cut. Sorry about that, but you could make the angled section a little larger and use one of the smaller rectangle die. :) The trunk of the Pine Tree Punch is wrapped with Linen Thread tied with a cute little bow.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I sure hope you have enjoyed my card featuring the Making Christmas Bright Stamp Set. Leave a comment below with a trail to find you so I can see your creations.
