Busy day on the blog! For my Simon Says Stamp Fun and Festive Blog Hop post please scroll down or click here!
Today I created three clean and simple holiday cards! I always try to have a few mass-produceable designs every year for the inevitable time I need a quick card! My first card uses the absolutely gorgeous Brilliant Baubles set!
It’s rare that I create a one layer card but with intricate designs as beautiful as these all you need is ink! I used Frosty Pink, Cotton Candy, Coral Berry, and Ruby Red to stamp my layered images and added the trendy sentiment in Ruby Red ink!
For my next pair of cards I focused on the smaller sets for these designs!
For the first card I masked off part of the panel and stamped the Poinsettia Pieces in various shades of grey inks. Then I stamped the sentiment from an older set: Holiday Wishes. For the second card I stamped the bottom layer of the flowers onto the panel with versamark and heat-embossed them with white embossing powder. Then I added the second layer with versamark and gold embossing powder. I stamped the sentiment from Brilliant Baubles onto the panel and heat-embossed it with gold embossing powder! Simple but these will definitely be designs I reach for when the holidays get busy! 😉

What fabulous monochrome looks. I love seeing uses of the smaller stamps, because they so rarely get love. Thanks for sharing these great ideas with us!
Great cards. I love how you didn’t choose tradition red and green for the baubles. Thanks for sharing your time and talent with us.
The ornaments are so cool!
These are such pretty holiday cards. This new release from Altenew has such a great variety of designs; I especially like the ones that will make it easy to mass produce cards.
I always like ideas for mass-produced cards, and yours fit that bill! Love the way you did the ornament card, and I also like the non-traditional grays for the poinsettias! Thanks for your inspiration.
Love how your cards are clean and simple in design and color choices. They are pretty awesome!
Very pretty!!! Always love your styles!
The monochrome look is so in right now. Beautiful designs.
Very elegant card!! I love the black. Your pink one is adorable!!
Fabulous cards Jessica! I love the “because of people like you” sentiment card design!
Wow! All of your cards are just gorgeous! 🙂
Wonderful, just love the black and white cards. thanks for sharing.
You created simple and elegant cards. Thanks for sharing!
Love your cards!!!!
All your cards are so lovely! I really like the colours you used for the baubles, and the grey and gold Poinsettias are beautiful.
Love that pink and red beauty! That sentiment is so gorgeous too.
I love the colors you chose for that first card. So, so pretty!
Unique color choices but they work so well.
Love the black and the white. The little
designs are great. thanks for sharing

Gorgeous cards! Live the use of pinks for the first one. My neice would love to receive a card like this. Guess I need to order those stamps right away!!
Altenew always has such wonderful sentiments. Love the simple elegance of your cards.
The new release is really awesome! And I absolutely love the inspiration cards!
luv the monotone. not an easy fete
Fun holiday cards indeed!
Beautiful cards! Love that you used the poinsettia pieces stamp set and made stunning cards with it. I appreciate that Altenew made some smaller stamp and die sets that don’t cost a lot. It allows those of us that need to watch our money to get something new and not feel guilty. It would be awesome if they had 1 or 2 sets like this in each release. Beautiful one layer bauble card too. I agree that with the intricate details all you need is ink for their beauty to shine!
All three cards are awesome, I do love quick & easy (as I call it lol). I love the pink/red combination on the Brilliant Baubles, the black and gold card is very elegant. These definitely will be in my stash this year, thanks for the inspiration. (mardy14@bellsouth.net)
