Quick and Easy Christmas cards with Rub-Ons: 4 card designs

Hi crafty friends! If you're looking for quick and easy Christmas card ideas that are flat and can be mailed with 1 stamp, let me introduce you to the new Joyful Wishes Christmas rub-on pack from Spellbinders! These retail for $5.99 and have 2 sheets with 17 images and sentiments.
I'm sharing 4 card designs each with a bit of embellishment but nothing too crazy, just enough for a pop of customization! Scroll down for a closer look at each rub-on I used.
Look at the stunning detailed images of these rub-ons! Each of my cards starts with a beautiful piece of pattern paper, for these I used a piece from the Nutcracker A2 paper pad. Then I used the Bell and Bow Scallop Frame and the Scallop & Stitched Edge Oval die sets and cut satin Ruby cardstock for the scalloped layer. Each image was paired with a rub-on sentiment.
These cards use pattern papers from the A2 Nutcracker and the A2 Holiday paper pads. The sentiment on the nutcracker card is from the Merry Christmas Sentiment Sheet (these are fabulous to use for quick and easy cards) and the sentiment on the ornament card is from the Merry Sentiment stamp/die set. For the final touches, I added a Holiday Bloom to one and red gems to the other.
I love how these all turned out!

Nordic Pretty Petal Flower Circle Card

 Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a cute circle card featuring the Nordic Pretty Petal Flower die set by Poppystamps.

 The Nordic Pretty Petal Flower die set has a large flower base, 3 petal overlay designs and a variety of flower center options. For my flower, I die cut the base with pink cardstock and the overlay pattern a lighter shade. The leaves were die cut from the flower base with pale green cardstock. I cut 2 of the "petals" and flipped them around and you have leaves!

Spellbinders All About Christmas Collection, Part 2

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing my second card using the All About Christmas collection which is designed by Lisa Horton. This collection features 5 die sets, 2 sentiment stamp set and a background stencil set. To check out my first card, check out this post.
Scroll down for a complete supply list.
LITTLE BIRDIES DIE SET AND CHRISTMAS SENTIMENTS
 
My card uses the adorable Little Birdies die set. These 2 birdies are super cute and can be used all year round!! The layers use the Bell and Bow Scallop Frame die set. The sentiments are from the Christmas Sentiments stamp and die set. The word Christmas has 2 shadow outline dies and there are coordinating stamps to go with it.
To start, I chose a beautiful pattern from the Nutcracker A2 paper pad and adhered it to my card base. I then used the Bell and Bow Scallop Frame die set and die cut my layers from white and pale blue cardstock. I used the White Splatter on the blue layer and then added my birdies and branches. For some sparkle I used glitter cardstock for the snow and the hat trim.
For the sentiment, I die cut the Christmas die with Onyx glitter cardstock and stamped the Holly Jolly with black ink on white cardstock.  I love how this turned out!

Sizzix and Catherine Pooler Happy Garden 2 layering stencils

 Hi crafty friends!  I'm excited to be collaborating with Scrapbook.com to share inspiration for the latest collaboration release between Catherine Pooler and Sizzix.
💥This entire release is absolutely adorable! Be sure to check it out.💥
Check out what I made and scroll down for supplies used.
Today I'm sharing inspiration for the Happy Garden 2 layering stencil set. There are 4 stencils in this set measuring 4.3" x 6.3". I really love the whimsical vibe of the flowers and leaves in this set.
I used my Distress Oxide inks with Bristol Smooth cardstock. The sentiment and accent stars are from the Birthday Bunting die set die cut with black glitter cardstock. To add some more glitz, I cut a 1/8" strip of Antique White glitter cardstock and added it to the left. A simple twine bow completes the card. I love how this turned out!
