We have another fun challenge for you at Merry Monday this week! Here's our inspiration photo and the challenge details to get you started!
I chose candy as my Christmas inspired food to create a clean and simple card with lots of impact! I used different colors to stamp the peppermint image and snipped each one out with Paper Snips. You could save even more time by using a circle punch to crop them out, but I didn't want any space around each candy. Coordinating candy dots were added to the center of each and dimensionals were used to adhere them to the card base. A seasonal sentiment was stamped in black and corners were rounded to complement the round candies. Really simple and fun to make! I hope you like it as much as I do!
Get out your supplies and get a jump start on your Christmas cards! For more inspiration, visit the Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge blog to see the wonderful creations by my fellow Merry Monday Design Team members!
