Easy Peaceful Christmas - Stampin Up!® Peaceful Garden DSP

 

  The New at SU blog hop team is back with another great (and timely) group of projects!  We have Stampin' Up!® demos from around the world sharing the theme of "Simply Christmas" this month!  If you find yourself behind in your Christmas preparations we've got some great, easy ideas to get you on your creative way!  You can hop all the way through with us by following the links at the bottom of my post!

  I always need a lot of Christmas cards and as I get closer to having to actually get them in the mail I always find that I need a few more. An easy way to make a stack of cards in no time at all is to cut some of the paper at the same time and let the DSP do all the work!  I'm using the Peaceful Garden DSP and there is minimal stamping to keep the project moving along.

  You can check out the below video I made a few years ago about how to cut the DSP to make the easy background for 3 cards.  This is a tried and true technique that I go back to year after year.  I kept my first card very simple with a sentiment from the Wishing You Joy stamp set on a Traditional Labels die cut and some ribbon and Drusy embellishments.  

 If you wanted to step up the basic card a little bit but keep the same DSP background you could add a Snowy Delights snowflake die cut behind the label.  

  And finally if you still wanted easy but maybe a bit more 'wow' you could add just a little more!  On this last card I embossed the sentiment in white, changed the label color (but still the same label die), added another snowflake but in vellum cardstock and upgraded the ribbon to Misty Moonlight Silver Edged ribbon.

  All in all this is a very simple set of cards to get you well on your way to being ready for Christmas!  Check out the rest of the New at SU! team for their fantastic ideas for "Simply Christmas" by following the links below!
