I really liked a Christmas card that my sister and I made at the fall crop last November. I decided to take the same layout and change things up a bit to create today’s card. It’s a simple card, but effective.

After using the embossing buddy (which I need to brush off the card before photographing it!) I stamped the upper sentiment in versamark on real red and sprinkled on the white embossing powder. It’s from the Yippee Skippee set. After heat embossing this, I stamped the sentiment from Good Greetings, also in versamark with white embossing powder. This top layer was a 4.75″ by 3.5″ piece of real red. The next layer is a piece of whisper white a quarter inch larger in both dimensions. This is all glued onto a base of real red in the usual half size of card stock which is a half inch bigger than the white and thus gives more interesting layers.
