Really, I’m not trying to piss off any Cubs fans here… this cardinal from the Beauty of the Season stamp set (135779) just happens to be a beautiful focal point for this Christmas card design idea! So if you’re a Cubs fan (or something else anti-Cardinals), then just move on to another post from my blog… perhaps the fabulous Treat Box that I shared on Saturday!
This is a fairly simple card – but uses a fun alternate design idea. Instead of putting your main image on the front of the card, try using the giant 2-1/2″ Circle Punch (120906) to punch a hole in your card front, then layer your main image inside to appear through the hole.
The supplies for this card are fairly simple, too – just color-on-color stamping in Real Red on Real Red card stock with an accent of Champagne Glimmer Paper…because every card needs a little bit of BLING, right?
And really, if you missed my Long & Skinny Envelope Punch Board Treat Box Tutorial from Saturday, be sure to check it out!

Well, you didn’t piss me off! :) I live in St. Louis and I am VERY much a Cardinal fan!! Sorry Cubs fans! lol Cute card, Meg, thanks for sharing!
So glad that one worked for you, Angie! :) Around here we’re pretty well divided between Cubs and Cardinals fans, so it’s pretty dicey territory!
I have to tell you, 2 things. First, this is an absolutely darling card. I’ve not bought this stamp yet but if I keep seeing ideas like this, I’m gonna lose what little self control I have….lol. Thank you for sharing your creativity….
And secondly, how sad has it become that you have to worry about making card with a beautiful red cardinal on it….. No worries from my end cuz I don’t follow sports… lol
Have a great week…
Thanks for your comment, Cookie! I’m pretty much joking about the cardinal, not to worry ;)
