This card comes from a last-minute need to send a Christmas card. Someone send me a card this year, and I hadn’t yet sent them one. I LOVE receiving cards, so even though my stash is depleted, I want to make them a card, too.
This card literally took me less than 5 minutes. I used the set of 4 snowflakes in the Snowflakes Mini Cube set and a really beautiful saying, Have a Wonderful Christmas. I first stamped the saying in black. Then I chose 3 colors of light blue inks and stamped the snowflakes from corner to corner. I used a glitter pen to add some accents and added some gems.
If I had more time, I would have use some Nuvo glitter drops, but they require dry time, so I went with gems. You could also easily cut a mat for the card front if you don’t have a decorative frame die. If you don’t have several colors of inkpads, try some water based markers, or use generation stamping to get different tones.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas season and Happy Holidays!

I love being able to put together a 5 minute card when I'm in a rush! This turned out so pretty!
I feel the same way about sending to those that sent to me :) I love the quick idea you came up with, so pretty!!
Yes, I had one of those too this year. FOrtunately I miscounted my stash and had two left over.
YOur card is festive and lovely and doesn't look like a 5 minute card...
You can't beat a QACAS card, Heidi, and I do love this one! I'm pinning it for those times when I get caught short and need a quick one! Happy Holiday Hugs! Darnell
