Hi everyone, it's Audrey. And today I have a couple of last minute holiday card ideas to share with you, featuring our adorable Claus & Co. collection.

I love how festive and happy this first card is. I think the images really pop with all the bright red, and the bit of extra shine and sparkle from the foil accents is always such a welcome addition at holiday time. Best thing is, this card is super quick and easy to make, even at the last minute like now. What makes this card so easy is that all the accent pieces, from the holly and bell to the stars and the sentiment, are all pre-made die cuts from the Bits & Pieces embellishment pack. I simply popped them onto my card base using glue dots, with a bit of foam adhesive behind my main image, and boom.... done. The card base itself was just as easy. I used a couple of the 4x4 SN@P journaling cards for the top, and layered them onto two solids from the Simple Basics Kit. Really doesn't get any easier than that. My second card may look a bit more detailed, but it, too, was quite quick and easy to make, thanks to more adorable die cuts and chipboard shapes. The background is all pieced from papers from the Simple Basics Kit. I mixed the stripes and dots with the more solid patterns for detail, and topped them all with a fun Polaroid-style chipboard frame. Then I built my little snowman scene in and around the frame. I added a bit of extra detail to this card with some machine stitching. Always love that special handmade touch it adds to my cards. And lastly, I finished off with a small twine bow in the upper corner. Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy Holidays everyone!
