A beautiful and simple card. This is a great card because it can be a Christmas card or a card for almost any occasion. We actually made it this week in class.
I was suppose to have three classes this week, two on Tuesday and one on Wednesday. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate. I knew I’d wake up to snow on Tuesday but I didn’t quite realize how much. I got up early to shovel a little but the further along I got the more I realized no one would want to come out in this mess. At 7:30 am we probably had 8″-10″ of snow already and it was still snowing. We ended up with close to a foot of snow. I did cancel both classes on Tuesday and had only 3 people show up on Wednesday. That’s ok. It really is a bit close to Christmas.
Christmas….YIKES! It’s only a week away! I’m not ready!!!!!
Back to the card…..I fell in love with this cardinal when I first saw it in the catalog but I wasn’t sure what to do with it. I didn’t use it on any Christmas projects but I wanted to use it before it goes away on January 4th so I came up with this card. I wanted something pretty easy. I’ve figured out that my favorite 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ size works perfectly for easy! 🙂
A few fancy punches on the corners and this card goes from easy to WOW! Did you notice that I used two of the punches on the Curvy Corner Trio Punch? One on the Early Espresso piece and one on the white piece. It’s becoming one of my favorite punches.
I think this card will be perfect for winter birthdays, thank you notes or almost any occasion. OK…I have to ask….did anyone notice that I forgot to stamp the beak? Yikes! I did remedy that before class but never got another picture taken. Oh, well….
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
