It's our last Merry Monday for November and there's still time to get started making your Christmas cards! Lesley Croghan at Always Playing With Paper has a new challenge for us this week that I'm sure will inspire you to get started! Take a look at this week's inspiration photo:
As the holidays get closer, we always seem to be pressed for time. This card requires minimal supplies and is super simple and quick to make. All you need is card stock, linen thread, a star punch, dimensionals, glue and a sentiment stamp of your choice. Easy, festive and fun!
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted:
Stamps: Christmas Messages
Paper: Whisper White card stock; Natural Composition Specialty DSP
Ink: Crumb Cake
Tools: Small Star Punch (retired), 3/16" Corner Punch

Your 'easy to make' card is adorable Margaret. The wound twine with the sprinkling of stars, are so effective. The sentiment and the Kraft strip at the bottom finish the card beautifully.
