The 12 Days of a Clean and Simple Christmas – Stamp Simply Style – Day Nine
Welcome! It’s hard to believe it’s Day 9 already of our clean and simple Christmas projects. Time sure flies when you’re having fun! And fun is surely what I had making this trio of cards for today:
Very CAS and very white — refreshing!
These cards are a standard 4.25 x 5.5″, tent fold.
The paper used is Father Christmas 6×6 by Bo Bunny.
All Bo Bunny coordinates can be seen here.
These cards are fun to make. I like the importance placed upon the simple focal panel with the wide matting. I could sit and put together these little panels for hours — kind of mindless work with pretty paper — right up my alley — LOL!!! And to have a pile of these little panels in front on you, ready to apply to cards — ooohhh, good feeling!!!
To create the focal panel, cut a cardstock piece 3.25 x 4.5″ to decorate. I used 2 coordinating prints and covered the seam with 1″ Grograin with Satin Edge in white, using Scor Tape.
The Believe sentiment is a wood mount stamp by Rubber Soul/Wordsworth. It is cut with a Charm Die made by Spellbinders for JustRite. This die set coordinates with many JustRite Cling Stamps, but I used it alone today — fun die set.

There is a single Rhinestone atop the ornament charm in Lippy Red. I almost put 1/4″ Silk bows on the ornaments in burgundy. They looked adorable, but in keeping with the theme of CAS, quick and easy, I opted to go for the single rhinestone instead! The ornaments are popped up with 3D Foam Squares.
And there you have it — a CAS, quick and easy Christmas card trio.
All items used are available at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store, as linked above.

On a personal note, my pile of used SU sets is getting pretty small, but there are still some left — at 50% off the original used price.

Such a fresh and pretty design…I love the wide frame of white around the edges…it really sets the center off wonderfully!

Hi Sharon~
These are great! At first I thought you took the time to put brads into the ornament shapes. I love that they are rhinestones. These are beautiful yet simple cards! They are now on my list of cards to make!
Thank you so much!
