Let’s see how quick and easy cards for Christmas can be! Make your own with patterned paper, stamps, ink and a punch! One of the fastest cards you’ll make this year!
The Have a Hoot stamps are so adorable, you can’t resist them!
This is another fast card – almost but not quite as fast as this fall themed cutie in this video.
What makes it so fast?
- only two pieces of paper – one for the card base and one for the front
- a no-coloured image in black ink
- pulling in a punch to add emphasis
What Adds Some Pizzazz?
- the sponged edges on the punched out image
- the three mini hearts (can you guess where they come from? I’ll give you the answer below!)
- a touch of Wink of Stella
How about I give you all the steps to you can make it too?
