The base of the card is a fold half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.
The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the "Sweetest Christmas" 12" x 12" package and it was cut at 5-1/4" x 2". You can get a lot of pieces from one sheet if you're planning on making a card using this layout. I taped the DSP to the left side of the card.
Then I cut a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" piece of Basic White for the word piece. The words are from the "Very Best Occasions" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. A 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" piece of Real Red card stock was cut for the layer. I taped the Basic White piece to the Real Red piece and added Dimensionals to the back and set the piece in place on the front of the card.
After looking at the card I thought it could use a little more color so I colored the leaves in using my Garden Green marker. And for the berries I used my dark Blends Pen on some tiny crystal rhinestones and set them in place where the berried were stamped on the image. And the card was done. See, I told you it was quick and easy!

I like the use of that dsp and the sentiment! It makes sense to make all of the cards you send out being the same. But I have too much fun making a variety of cards. The only ones that we make in multiples are the ones we donate to the nursing homes.
Looks like we are going to have a White Christmas like it or not! We're in for a blizzard starting later today and through tomorrow. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
