Fast and Easy Christmas Cards

Hello!  We meet again!  Today I have a another Stampendous post featuring our "All in One" stamps. I chose to showcase two stamps, Love Was Born and Santa Paws, with two cards each.  These are fast and easy Christmas cards, perfect for when you have a larger number to create.  Each card took less than 10 minutes to create.  When time is limited, why not keep it simple!  Plus, I've used two of our  new powders, Real Red Opaque Embossing Powder and Rose Gold Fran•táge Specialty Embossing Enamel.

Here's all four cards!


Here's what I used to create this card:  


Recollections® Holly Day Wishes 6x6 Paper Pad

Here's what I did to create this card:

Stamp image with VersaMark™ ink pad, add embossing powder, tap off excess powder and heat image
Trim embossed image close to edge
Create an A2 card base with a tent fold
Trim patterned paper to fit as shown
Cut a piece of ribbon to fit across
Wrap ends of ribbon around to back of patterned paper and adhere
