Holly Jolly - Clean and Simple

As it gets sunny and warm outside, you may think Christmas is the last thing on your mind. But I'm here to remind you about that crazy rush in December and how you can avoid it. By starting your Christmas crafting now! And for the next two weeks we have a great challenge over at Holly Jolly - Clean and Simple. So this will mean you can enjoy the sunshine, and once the sun is down, you can get into crafting mode and design a quick and simple Christmas card for your stash. If you need inspiration to get you going, just head over to Holly Jolly to see what the amazing DT has shared. 

You can also find more inspiration over at our sponsor's websites. This time our wonderful sponsors are Bugaboo, Dr Digi's House of Stamps, Digital Runs Stamps and Stamp and Create. Not only are they giving out generous prizes for our winners, they also have a great range of digis for your crafting.

For my card I chose the super cute Bugaboo digi Penguin Joy. I printed three copies of the image and die cut them using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle dies (probably my most used dies ever). I chose three colours for the cards, traditional Christmas Green and Red but also a purplish pink for a more non-traditional look. As the finishing touch I added some Ice Stickles to the snow for a bit of sparkle. I think this is such a great clean, easy and quick card design. It looks great but it's easy to make a good stash without having to spend too much time. I think I'm going to make a few more of this design in even more colours.
