Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Mary and I will pick a theme.  This month the theme is Monochromatic cards!

CHRISTMAS CLASSICS

I had several of these pieces laying on my desk as starts for other projects.  I think they combined well together and was SO easy!  Would make a wonderful Christmas card to mass produce!

 

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Shaded Spruce cardstock was embossed with the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder.
• A 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 strip of Joy of Christmas Designer Paper was added across the center.
• The evergreen frame was cut from Basic White cardstock with the Christmas Classics Dies and adhered to the front.
• The square label was cut from Basic White cardstock and stamped with the greeting in Shaded Spruce Ink.  It was added to the frame with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• A green Tinsel Gems 4-pack was added to the label.
• The silver Simply Elegant Trim was tied in a bow and added to the top of the frame.

 

That’s it!!!  Can’t get much easier than that!  Make sure to check out Mary’s Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary!
