Here’s a lovely Blended Seasons Christmas card, which is simple yet pretty, and ideal for mass producing. This card is also a perfect example of one of the things I love most about Stampin’ Up! products – our colour coordination! Our card stock, designer series paper, inks, markers, ribbons and embellishments all match, which is the magic key to making a quick and easy card look so great!

White: 2″ x 3″

Instructions:

1.
Stamp holly leaves at the bottom of the Whisper White rectangle
using Memento. Make sure your ink is dry and then color using the
Blends. Work in small sections of your design because the alcohol
evaporates quickly ~ the alcohol must be wet to blend. Use the
chisel tip of the Light Blend to cover the holly leaf. Add the Dark
Blend towards the berries. Return with the Light Blend to go over
the two shades to blend them together.

2.
Stamp ‘Merry Christmas’ in Real Red ink and add Wink of Stella to
the berries. Add Dimensionals to the back.

3.
Assemble card using Liquid Glue. Add the pretty holly berries piece
last.
