Hi friends,

I found my inspiration for June’s Christmas Card using the Sketch Challenge #34 from Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers. There is a great sketch released each month on their Facebook page to use as a starting point to create cards and get ready for the holiday season.

I’ve been making a few Christmas cards each month – I hope I’ve inspired you to create some, too! You can find the cards I’ve made so far this year here… January, February, March, April, and May.

June’s card is a simple quick and easy card that only takes a few minutes to make. My Christmas tree stamp is an older one from Hero Arts. This tree would be cute, or you can use any of your favorite simple Christmas image stamps on your card. 🎄

To make the card, I trimmed 2 pieces of coordinating patterned paper – one 3 by 3 inches and one 3 by 1.5 inches – and attached them to a red card. I stamped the tree with green in on white card stock and trimmed around it using my favorite scissors. Using my Tim Holtz Ink Blending Tool, I inked the edges of the tree with green ink. This helps the image to pop against the patterned papers. I attached the tree to the card with foam tape. To finish the card I added dots of red glitter glue.

This is such a great layout that will work with any Christmas stamp that can be easily trimmed and popped up on the card. You can also use this layout for just about any occasion by changing your stamped image.

Half way through the year, and by making 6 cards of each design I created, I now have 36 cards ready to send out when the holiday season hits! How many Christmas cards have you created? 🎄
