Very Merry Postcard with Laurie

Hello Greetery friends!  It’s Laurie Willison here! 

I love a quick and simple stamp set to create a quick card.  Along with that, I LOVE a good font.  I always think of Plaid Tidings Very Merry when I want to make a Christmas card.  I just love that big font and how it works so well for a full focal point of a card.  I mixed several sets to create today’s card so let me share a list:

• Plaid Tidings Very Merry Stamp Set and Die set
• Postal Frames Die Set
• Postcard Details Pierce Plate
• Postal Modern Stamp Set
• North Pole Post Stamp Set and Dies

First up, I used a light gray layer of cardstock that I die cut with largest Postal Frame and the Postcard Details Die.  I attached this to a white card base and then added in the North Pole stamp, the postage lines and the extra little details.  Then I stamped the large So Very Merry and added it to the card.  To finish off the card, I added some glossy accents on the holly and a little striped washi on the side.  Love those easy details!

You know I love clean and simple with lots of white space but I always love to share a few tips for adding in more detail:

• Use the plaid stencils for the Very Merry stencil set to add in detail to the main sentiment.  
• Use the Crimped Frame on the layer for a different look.
• Add in more detail with a Chrismtas tree or stars in the background or even a plate of cookies from Hug in a Mug Sweet Treats.

I am so glad you stopped by today and I hope you enjoyed today’s project!  If you are inspired to create a clean and simple card, please tag me when you share over on Instagram! I love to see all your creations!
