Who says a simple cards can’t offer the same WOW! factor as a card with lots of layers and embellishments? I created four quick and easy holiday cards to share this week using many of the Stampin’ Up! Last Chance (retiring) products. I’m confident you’ll be able to whip them up in 10 minutes or less and order/receive any “last chance” holiday products in plenty of time to create and send.
Please ORDER anything you love PRONTO since last chance products are ONLY available while supplies last.
WHAT I LOVE! I’m so happy with how this simple holiday card turned out. The Tiny Christmas Trees Die (retiring soon and 20% off starting tomorrow) has been a delight to use this season. I also adore the unexpected boldness of Tahitian Tide and Basic Black, which satisfies my clean and simple signature style. The five white dots (Classic Matte Dots) give a pop of personality, almost like modern snowflakes.
