Good Morning!! New month and time for a new challenge at Less is More this time we have a Recipe for you - Christmas in July. Every year I plan to start creating my Christmas cards early to get ahead of the time and every year I fail - at least this challenge has encouraged me to make a start. How about you? Have you started on your Christmas cards yet? If not, why not use this challenge to kickstart your creating.
I have a couple of simple designs to share:
A simple card created with a gelli print for the die cut tree and leaf dies to create a simple tree. A few very thin strips of black card to anchor the tree to the base plus a final simple sentiment. The hardest part was lining up the black strips!
My second card is also quite simple:
For this one I stamped and heat embossed the image before water colouring with distress inks. I added the stamped panel to the card base with some foam tape to add a little dimension and added interest.
Check out the blog for more inspiring cards from the Design Team. I look forward to seeing your cards.
Stay Safe and Keep Crafting!
I love the way you used the die cuts on your tree image. That's a wonderful effect. The black strips look fantastic. I love the image in the second card, along with the non-traditional colors. great start to your Christmas card stash.
