Papertrey has done it again...what you ask?! Remember last year when we all created super simple holiday cards that would be easily reproducable and Nichole created that fabulous download with supply lists, cutting lists and instructions??? Well, we all did it again this year, 12 fabulous card designs that you can make easily and quickly for the holidays! My card is super super simple this year, I chose to focus on the stamping to make it really pretty and add few embellishments. I die cut a piece of Vintage Cream cardstock using the second largest Labels 8 die from Spellbinders collection and then used Dark Chocolate, Enchanted Evening, Spring Rain, and Ripe Avocado to add a beautiful holiday sentiment (from Tree Trimming Trio) and snowflakes (from Snowflake Serenade) to the front. Now, if you don't have the Labels 8 Dies...go buy them...no seriously, you could just cut some smaller rectangles for the front and stamp them with a very similar look. Next I stamped the mid sized snowflake with my glue pad three times and added Prisma glitter, just gives a little extra something! I added one Ripe Avocado button to the center of a Spring Rain snowflake and rubbed the edges with PTI's exclusive Vintage Touch Inking System before adhering the panel to my cardfront using dimensional adhesive. I really think the dimensional adhesive just gives it that extra pop! So here is a picture of the whole group of them...I made 5 for now but I plan to make more, they were easy and turned out beautifully (click on the image to see them larger).
And one on its own....oh I am just in love with this color combo!
And don't forget to finish the ensemble by adding a coordinating cream liner piece (I use resume paper) and coordinating envelope.
So there you have it...a beautiful, simple holiday card that will wow your friends and family!!! Check out all the Papertrey girls for more inspiration...Nichole, Becky, Betsy, Dawn, Debbie, Heather, Lauren, Lisa, Melissa, Mish, and Niki. Have a wonderful day and get started on your holiday cards:)!!

Snowflakes on cards are a personal favourite of mine so I really like the way you have used them on this card. A modern card using a traditional stamp!
