5 Quick Christmas Cards

 

Last night I realized I had somehow forgotten 5 important Christmas cards I need to deliver! SO, I pulled out my scraps from a couple of discontinued DSP packs (designer series paper - Traditions of Christmas and Seasons of Green and Gold).  With the many die cuts and fussy cut pieces that I had, three of these cards came together very quickly.  I also used a stamped/colored focal for a couple of them from an older stamp set called A Beautiful Season.  Four of the five cards are Inverted Center Step cards.  All materials were from Stampin' Up! except for the cutting dies used to create the sentiments for all five cards - they were a discontinued Moonstone die set.  This is how my five cards turned out:

Card #1 (above):  Here the Traditions of Christmas DSP was used for the background paper, focal, and embellishments.  

 

Card #2: 

 

As you can see, I made this one as a vertical step card.  This time I used a stamped focal that I colored with Stampin' Write markers (from the older A Beautiful Season stamp set), but the papers were still the Traditions of Christmas papers.

 

Card #3: 

 

Again, I used the Traditions of Christmas papers - this time I matted the pieces on Secret Sea cardstock.

 

Card #4: 

These next two cards were made using pieces from the Seasons of Green and Gold papers. As you can see, I again used the stamp from A Beautiful Season to create the focal.

Card #5:

Finally, I used several scraps from the Seasons of Green and Gold DSP set and a focal from the Traditions of Christmas DSP set.

I am SO grateful to have these Stampin' Up! products so I can make pretty cards very quickly!
