Easy X-Mas Cards and a Freebie!
The countdown is on folks, Thanksgiving is 3 days away and we only have 32 shopping days til Christmas! As a kid I remember each Thanksgiving, after the meal had been eaten and the dishes washed (while dad watched football) mom would address all of her Christmas cards in her beautiful penmanship. My penmanship is NOT lovely but I can make a cute card (I hand make 70 each Christmas) and if you are hand making all of your cards they need to be quick so here are a few quick cards you can make using stamps from Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff:
Tips: Print out a bunch of images ahead of time and color and trim them while watching TV. This wreath only took a few minutes to color and trim, since I placed the label over the center I didn’t bother to trim the middle, what a time saver! Get the look of stitching by rolling a paper piecer (I used the scor-bug) over the edges of your paper and use a pen to draw the thread! Total card time 10 minutes! The label is from the Christmas Cupcakes set and the Wreath is from Christmas Potpourri both available at Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff!
I used the pattern paper, cupcake stamp and label from X-Mas Freebie kit in these cards. You can find the Bingo card (there are 36 in the set) and the ornament stamps in the Christmas Potpourri digital stamp set. The cupcake card took 10 minutes to make because of the coloring but the other card was done in 5!
Cricut Expression Tip: To die cut around a digital stamp place your digi stamped paper on your mat. Use your arrow keys to bring the blade to the center of the stamp. Press the “Center Point” button, select your shape and size and press “cut”. You will have a perfectly cut image every time! It is also easy to die cut your stamps using SCAL software. Place the shape you want on the mat on your computer screen then stick your digistamped paper on the same place on the real mat, insert it into the cricut and cut.
