This simple card layout is perfect for creating cards for any occasion. You'll find the card sketch and supply lists below. I've created some simple Christmas card ideas and an elegant sympathy card as well. This card is quick and easy to make because of the patterned paper used on the card front. Just a little stamping, some layers, a little bling, and you have a fabulous card in minutes.

​So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Easy Christmas Card Idea

This easy Christmas card idea uses the Heartwarming Hugs patterned paper and the Delivering Cheer stamp set. I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. I love how easy it is to do shading with the Stampin' Blends! A little silver cord under the image adds just a hint of bling to this holiday card.

Simple Holiday Card Idea

The Tidings of Christmas patterned paper is beautiful for all sorts of holiday cards, or use the simple patterns for other occasions as well! I added a simple bow made of Linen Thread under the sentiment circle to coordinate with the somewhat rustic look of the paper.

Elegant Sympathy Card Idea

I used this same simple card design to create an elegant sympathy card. The Blackberry Beauty patterned paper is simply elegant all on its own. It has gorgeous gold accents on one side! I used a sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set and added a few gilded gems for a little extra bling to tie into the gold accents on the patterned paper.
