Welcome to today's post! I am so excited to share today's card because I have been busy, busy with my Christmas cards for this year. For a crafter who intends to make all her cards handmade for family, friends and co-workers, Christmas is right around the corner. Don't worry, I haven't put my Christmas decorations up yet (I have a rule that we should celebrate Thanksgiving first), but it is all green, red and sparkles in my craft room!
And here is today's project...
I wanted to go #simplestamping on this card and I think I made that work. The Well Wishes stamp set just lends itself to that task as the stamps are simple and elegant. I love that beautiful wreath with a simple, Cherry Cobbler bow. Stamparatus to the rescue on this on because it is so helpful to be able to get that bow positioned just right! It is just a lovely way to say Merry Christmas.
This is also a great layout and would be an easy card to "step-up" if you are an avid crafter and want to add a little more creativity. Perhaps add some additional embellishments or maybe try your hand at heat embossing your sentiment?? Hmmm...all very good ideas! Perhaps you will see those in next week's post ;) For today, I simply changed the details a bit, but kept to the spirit of the original card. Do you have a favorite? Can you spot the differences?
