Simply Christmas


Here is a super simple Christmas card using 2 of the 5 petal flowers from a punch and a bone folder with a rhinestone brad in the middle. The outside is Old Olive textured Cardstock for the base layered with Certainly Celery. I stamped and embossed the swirls from the Priceless set from Stampin'Up! on the celery cardstock and Viola!

Ribbons and Gift Wrapping Techniques written by Kim Vallee Forgot the typical Christmas ribbons and bows that you buy at the drugstore. This year make an impression with an array of ribbons. Mix widths, colors and textures to dress up your gifts. Buying in Bulk To Save Money I save on gift-wrapping paper by buying them in bulk. Even if I only got one pattern, my gifts do not look the same under the Christmas tree because I decorate them differently. Imagine the little black dress; no two women wear it the same. My collection of fabric ribbons and gift ornaments becomes my accessories. How To Tie Ribbons on Gifts including the Classic Double Bow The Canadian  House and Home November 2008  edition featured several ribbon tying techniques from Alison Dawson of  Mokuba , a fabulous ribbon shop in Toronto.

I wanted to create something not at all feminine but it didn't turn out as particularily masculine. I only had scraps of River Rock and was lacking in matching ribbon as well so it was a bit more challenging than I anticipated. I planned to use a the inks that matched and a stamp set I really like and have been hanging on to since Spring 2008 {pictured below} but once I got my Big Shot and my Stars #2 Die out all the plans changed. This set was offered with a 5"x5" little album and papers and cardstock stickers in Pumkin and Olive and Bashful Blue which I also still have a few pieces left from now that I think about it.
