Simple Ideas...

are what works if you plan on mass producing your holiday cards. Today, I have one of those ideas for you!

I used a simple white base to cut down costs. A strip of black cardstock embossed with the swiss dots embossing folder was placed in the center of the card. I scored two lines below the black strip and then paper pierced just below the score lines. A simple, one line sentiment was stamped on the bottom. The new giant poinsettia image was colored with markers, the flower center was also highlighted with a stardust pen and then cut out and raised on pop dots. I left a thin white border when cutting out so that it would stand out against the black strip. Some red ribbon tied in a bow finished things off!

Thanks for checking in...I hope you had a great holiday yesterday and good luck if you decide to brave the shopping crowds today! :)

See you soon...
