Well hello there! I took a little blogging break for Thanksgiving (and the shopping, leftover-eating, and gutter-cleaning that followed), but today I'm back with a quick batch of holiday cards that just happen to use this week's CAS-ual Fridays sketch:
Clean and Simple, indeed. I grabbed some of my recent holiday acquisitions, as well as some stamps from the stash, and whipped up four cards in about twenty minutes!
When I'm pressed for time (or mojo), I don't fuss with the sketch -- I run with it! Here, the upper two cards use paper from the Simple Stories Christmas line (the 6x6 pad), while the bottom two use the same North Country collection from this post (but the 6x6 pad instead). All the papers came from Scrappy Chic (where else?).
Besides the top-right card, which uses a quick bit of stamping (an older SU set) and paper-piecing, I let the papers stand on their own and just stamped the sentiments (all from Papertrey Ink). It's a little hard to see, but I also pierced lines around the sentiments too.
Quick, easy -- and I can cross four more cards off the list. Hooray!
I'll see you again soon -- have a lovely day!

Love the red backgrounds and fun pp!
These are terrific, Ang! I think my fave might be the top-left one, just because that paper is sooooo awesome, but they are all drool-worthy. And paper-piercing to match the bottom element of the sketch was rather brilliant. :)
Okay, so Lindsey picks the top left and I pick the bottom left...and right. Good for you - crossing numbers off your list and all. Happy Holidays. They're HERE!
Great work!
Thanks for playing at CAS-ual Friday!

Beautiful! What a great way to make quick holiday cards. I love them.
Fabulous set! I'm especially in love with that beaded curtain paper!
You've gotta love quick! They're all so pretty too. Thank you so much for playing along at CAS-ual Fridays.
