Quick and Easy Christmas Card
December 01, 2015
If you have a musical friend, they are sure to love this Christmas greeting! Actually, I bet any of your friends or family would love this handmade Christmas card featuring Stampin' UP! Supplies! Thank you to Michelle Haney for your inspiration on this card!
TWO Beautiful Embellishments:
- The beautiful Gold Foil sheet is even more gorgeous when die cut with JOY from the Wonderful Wreath framelit set! I used my fantastic Fine Tip Glue pen to adhere the JOY die cut to my card. WATCH THE VIDEO here to see great tips for using your Fine Tip Glue Pen!
- Red Enamel Dots from the Home for Christmas Suite in the Holiday catalog. They are self adhesive on the back so you don't even need glue dots! TIP: use the tip of your paper piercer to remove them from the sheet and place them onto your card or craft project!

Love the card, Patty. It just "screams" Christmas to me (in a nice way!). Thanks for sharing the directions and measurements. I'm always looking for another Christmas card idea for family members and this one is a great one. (I have finished all 90 of the Christmas cards my husband and I send out to friends and distant family! A true labor of love!) Now if I can only get my husband to sit down with me and write notes and address them. He usually quits on me about 25-30 cards in, and I wind up finishing them myself. Can you say "writer's cramp!? Keep up the great work.

Hi Patty,
Very pretty card. I would not have thought to use the leaves as holly. It looks really holly-like with the red berries. Very nice. Thank you for again sharing with us. Hope you are well and everything is well with you and yours.
Best wishes,
Karren

Thanks for a gorgeous card!! I wouldn't have thought to use the leaves as holly, either. My cards are all done and sent....first time having them done by December 1st for as long as I can remember.
BUT, I am always looking for even more Christmas card ideas!! Even if I end up saving them to use for next year ;-)
Thanks so much for always sharing ideas!!!

Love this idea. I would never have thought of it. My cards are done and going to mail today but this card is a good thought for next year!
