Make a Simple Handmade Christmas Card in Minutes!
This Simple Handmade Christmas Card for Beginners uses the Ornamental Christmas Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up!®, creating a peaceful monochromatic design with minimal supplies.
Supplies Needed
- Basic White Cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored at 4-1/4"
- Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper: 4" x 5-1/2"
- Basic White Cardstock: 3" x 5-1/2"
- Basic White Cardstock: 1/2" x 4"
Instructions
- Fold the 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" piece of Basic White cardstock in half at the scoreline to create your card base.
- Adhere the 4" x 5-1/2" piece of Peaceful Garden paper to the front of the card as shown in the sample.
- Using the 3" x 5-1/2" piece of Basic White cardstock, ink up the pine tree image using Secret Sea ink and stamp onto the Basic White cardstock. Stamp again without re-inking to the left and then to the right of the first image. Repeat at various heights until the entire cardstock is filled. Adhere to the center of the card front.
- Cut 3-3/4" of the Cloud Cover Faux Linen Ribbon and adhere towards the bottom of the stamped trees. (I adhered about 1/4" up from the bottom of the Basic White cardstock.)
- Stamp the sentiment onto the 1/2" strip of Basic White cardstock using Secret Sea ink. Using scissors, cut the right side at an angle and adhere onto the top part of the Cloud Cover Ribbon using Stampin' Dimensionals to finish. Tip: line up with the top of the ribbon so that most of the Ribbon will show - see sample for placement.
