From the North Pole Alternate Christmas Card 4

 

This alternate Christmas card using the From the North Pole Kit is all about clean lines and simple details.  In fact, unusual for me, I didn’t even add any ribbon or bling to embellish.  Though, you certainly could.

On the base layer, I used the Stitched with Whimsy Dies to give a little subtle lift to the layer.

 

 

Using one of the Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper banners and a white banner from the November 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I added layers of banners to the card.

 

 

For the next layer, you’ll use one of the great image stamps in the exclusive From the North Pole Paper Pumpkin Kit.

After stamping the image on Basic White cardstock, I used two of the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut it out.  I love the layered look, don’t you!?!  And in my book, subtle stitching details are always a plus!!

 

 

And for the final layer, I added this sentiment cut with my Paper Snips.  I guess, I did add just a touch of bling since I chose to heat emboss with some Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

 

From the North Pole Alternate Christmas Card 5

 

Staying with the clean and simple design theme for today’s Christmas card, here is another alternative design using the November 2022 Kit.

Again, I’ve used those Stitched with Whimsy Dies for the base layer.  And, I’ve repurposed one of the Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper banners from the Kit.

 

 

Then, I combined a couple of the sentiment stamps from the Kit to create the feature image.  As you can see, I’ve cut these with the Stylish Shapes Dies.  I love to make a group of alternates that use the same supplies and tools as this maximizes my time and supplies.

And once again that little bit of bling added by embossing the “merry Christmas” sentiment, is just enough to finish this clean and simple design.
