Some Simple Christmas Cards

Today I thought I'd pick some Christmas supplies from earlier this year and make some very simple Christmas cards that could be done quickly and repeatedly, just changing up colors and backgrounds.  These cards center on the Copperplate Betterpress plates, which have the most elegant font, perfect for the holidays!  I have 2 of them, so I foiled each of them in both Matte Gold and Red as my starting point.

supplies: cream and matte gold metallic cardstock, Spellbinders 3D Poinsettia Bells and Border embossing folder, Merry Christmas Copperplate betterpress plate, Matte Gold glimmer foil, (retired) Floral Oval Doily die

Next I foiled in red, switched embossing folders, and brought in an old border die to get a red and green look.

supplies: cream and dark teal green cardstock, Spellbinders Floral Expressions 3D embossing folder, Merry Christmas Copperplate, Red Glimmer Foil, Winter Borders die

Now for the Joy to the World plate.  I paired it with the beautiful Winter Rose Background plate, both foiled and pressed.

supplies: cream cardstock, Winter Rose Background betterpress plate, Joy to the World Copperplate, Matte Gold foil, an old Spellbinders labels die

supplies: Bisque BetterPress cotton card, cream and red glitter cardstock,  Winter Rose Background press plate, VersaFine Satin Red ink, Joy to the World Copperplate, Red glimmer foil, Fresh Picked Labels dies

I hope I've given you some ideas for simple elegant designs for Christmas cards.  Look through your supplies and you'll be surprised how many things you can mix and match to make each one just a bit different.
