New At SU November Blog Hop Happy Holidays

Welcome to the New At SU November Blog Hop as we showcase projects celebrating the Holidays. Thanksgiving is coming up fast and Christmas is just over a month away, as well as all the other holidays in between, You will be visiting with our talented Design Team Members as they share their projects and ideas to help inspire you.

As we get closer to Christmas, we are often looking for quick and easy ways to create fun Christmas cards to mail out to family and friends. When our time gets limited, clean and simple card designs are the best way to create a lot of cards in a short amount of time while still creating beautiful cards. For my card today, I chose the Be Jolly stamp set and paired it with the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set to create my card. I used a piece of the Tidings Of Christmas 6"x6" Designer Series Paper to create the background and colored my cute Santa image with Stampin' Blends Markers. The design is flat so it is easy to mail without worrying about extra postage.

This card design has a wonderful layout that is simple to duplicate to create multiple cards. With the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper, you can create a variety of card designs using the different patterns in this pack along with the variety of images and sentiments in both stamp sets. I decided not to add any embellishments to keep the design simple and to make sure that the were easy to mail. I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the white areas on the Santa to add a touch of sparkle and I heat embossed the sentiment with Gold embossing powder to step up the design. Both the Layering Circles Dies and Stitched So Sweetly Dies are currently on sale during the Seasonal Sale, November 16-18, and they are a great addition to your crafting supplies.
