Claus & Co. Cards

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.

AudreyPettit Claus&Co MerryCard [1] 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. AudreyPettit Claus&Co MerryCard2 [2] 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. AudreyPettit Claus&Co MerryCard3 [3] 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. AudreyPettit Claus&Co NorthPoleCard [4] 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. AudreyPettit Claus&Co NorthPoleCard2 [5] 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. AudreyPettit Claus&Co NorthPoleCard3 [6] 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!
