That’s right, we’re going to make a super simple Christmas card for Super Simple Saturday with Holly Berry Happiness.

Today’s Color Palette

I decided to change things up a bit today.  Instead of using Real Red and Garden Green as expected for a traditional looking Christmas card, I swapped those shades for Melon Mambo and Wild Wasabi for a more contemporary twist.  What do you think?

Ready, Set, Cut

Wild Wasabi: 11″ x 4 1/4″ score at 5 1/4″ for card base

Scrap for Holly Leaves

Whisper White:  3 3/4″ x 5″

3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″

Melon Mambo: 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″

Scrap for Holly Berries

This card is so super simple.  Layer Whisper White on card base followed by Melon Mambo and the smaller Whisper White.  Next stamp two leaves from the Holly Berry Happiness stamp set in Wild Wasabi on the scrap of Wild Wasabi and punch these out with the coordinating Holly Berry Builder Punch.  Stamp the berries from the same set in Melon Mambo ink on the scrap of Melon Mambo and punch these out.  Now all you have to do is stamp the sentiment (also from Holly Berry Happiness) in Melon Mambo on the front of the card and add the leaves and berries by popping them up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  See what I mean by Super Simple?  Oh yeah, don’t forget if you order the stamp set and the punch together in the bundle you save 10%.  Gotta LOVE that!  This would be a great card to mass produce and of course if you prefer the more traditional Christmas colors you have my permission to change things up.  What colors do you like to use for your Christmas card making?  Are you traditional or do you like things a little out of the box?
