I love my Stampin’ Up! punches – they come in handy when I need to crop out a quick sentiment, image or shape. Never did I imagine I would use FOUR Stampin’ Up! punches to create a fun Christmas card – until I was half-way done with making the one I’m sharing with you today. Here’s a sweet Christmas card that features four great punches:
It’s a simple card (I know), but there are still so many things I want to tell you about it. For starters, let’s look at the four punches I used to create this simple collage – Snowman Builder Punch, Heart Punch Pack, Pine Tree Punch and Deer Builder Punch. I’ll share a link to all of these punches at the end of this post, but here’s a look at the four punches I used:
I didn’t add eyes to my snowman or buttons to his coat. I didn’t add a nose to my deer or a trunk to my tree. I wanted each of the cutouts to serve as a symbol for the four Christmas themes, so I didn’t worry about faces and other details on the symbols.
I adore the pink (Polished Pink) and green (Just Jade) at the center for the four cutouts at the center of my card, so I repeated these colors for the card base and the strip that anchors my focal panel. I also book-ended the colorful images in the center with neutral tones (white and brown) on the ends – I used both Cinnamon Cider and Early Espresso for both the snowman and the deer.
One blue, one green, one red – it always works. If you like the mix of Pool Party, Just Jade and Polished Pink as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:
Papers: Just Jade, Polished Pink, Pool Party, Cinnamon Cider, Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie, Thick Basic White Accessories: Snowman Builder Punch, Heart Punch Pack, Pine Tree Punch, Deer Builder Punch, Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stampin’ Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by today!
