Tis the Season for Sweet & Simple …

Happy weekend stampin’ friends!

Another weekend is upon us … it seems the days are just flying by so fast.  Hard to keep up sometimes!  I’m sure you feel the same way.

As I was sitting at my stampin’ table thinking of what I was going to create for you, I thought … “it’s got to be quick & simple”.  A pretty card, that’s easy to make.  So here is what I came up with …

I first saw the stack of tags sitting on my table from the “Season of Style Designer Journaling Tags” in the Holiday catalog.  There are 35 die-cut, printed tags that were created to just slide into the divided page protectors and coordinate with the Seasonal Stripes Album.  I thought … why just for scrapbooking!  I need a card and I need it fast!

I picked the “Tis the Season” and matted it with our “Silver Glimmer Paper”… who doesn’t love a little glitz for the holidays.  I wanted to add a bit of Whisper White to my card, to pull out the white on the tag.  It looked OK, but I wanted that extra touch, so I added a strip punched out with the “Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch“.

Next I added my ribbon just because I wanted ribbon … and I thought it “tied” the card together.  Get it … “tied” – ha ha… my granddaughter is rolling her eyes, she didn’t think it was funny 🙂  Guess I’ll keep my day job and not run off to be a stand up comedian.  Back to the card … I also added a strip of ribbon to the inside of my card just to jazz it up a bit.

To finish off the card and create a nice balance, I added another touch of glitz, the 3 rhinestones.   So simple … so pretty, and that’s how we want to make our holiday cards.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Enjoy your weekend!
