It’s the first Monday of April, so we have another installation of Christmas Monday. The first Monday of each month we feature a Christmas card. We know many of you think about and work on Christmas cards year round, so we hope to offer you some Christmas inspiration and link you up with Christmas products at reduced prices since it is officially the “off-season”. In my personal opinion, when it comes to Christmas cards, they NEED to be quick and easy, but I still want them to be “pretty”. And that’s just what I have to share with you this evening. Quick and easy, yet very pretty. Take a look:

See, very quick and easy. And the pretty comes from the choice of paper, the shiny gold and beautiful stamp and die.

Everything was kept to a minimum. One piece of designer paper, one stamp, one die.

I elevated my sentiment panel with 3D foam squares, but omitting them gives you a perfectly flat card for easy mailing!

I adore Kaisercraft paper pads. They’ve been a long time favorite. Each pad contains specialty sheets which include the foiled sheets such as I used today, or flocked, spot varnished, etc. Gorgeous papers!  Each pad also has 4 sheets at the back with die cut punch outs to coordinate with the paper designs.

This is surely not a Christmas card, but just wanted to show it to you as it uses the SAME Vintage Labels Seven die I used today and another of the small cling stamp sets in the same shape. This beauty was created by Deb.
