Greetings!
I love when I see a card that is stunning in its simplicity and today's card is one of those.
I have a stamp club group that meets every other month and we always have a swap amongst us. This means a theme, template or technique is chosen ahead of time and everyone makes enough cards of that theme to swap with all the other members the evening of the club gathering. The theme for this particular swap was making a card using scraps of printed papers. Kara, one of my club members, made a card using 1-1/4" squares of different prints along with a larger square for the sentiment.
I loved the layout of it and the simplicity, so I pulled out my Christmas papers to see what I could come up with. I tried both the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Papers (DSP) and the Winter Meadow Designer Series Papers (DSP). After playing with various prints and patterns of the two paper packs, I opted for the Winter Meadow DSP and love how it turned out!
These papers are so beautiful! They are very peaceful feeling and it's fun to just see glimpses of the various prints. Using a lovely message from the Wishes All Around stamp set fills in the large Basic White piece well and the addition of a few Moody Mauve In Color Dots pulls in the soft berry colors in the prints.
I'm also very excited to know the Winter Meadow DSP is carrying over for another year! Woohoo!

Here's How It's Made:
Adhere Basic White cardstock panel onto Misty Moonlight folded card front.
Position the eight DSP squares on the Basic White cardstock panel so you can see what your spacing will be and to shift around until you feel the layout of lights, darks and prints feels balanced. Adhere. I recommend the Multipurpose Liquid Glue for adhering these, as it gives you a little time for adjusting placement of each piece.
Ink "sending wishes..." with Moody Mauve and stamp in center of Basic White cardstock 2-1/4 square. Adhere to Mossy Meadow cardstock, adhere in opening on card front.
Embellish with Moody Mauve In Color Dots.
Here's what the inside looks like:
Ink "may the love..." and "Christmas Greetings" with Moody Mauve and stamp in upper center of Basic White cardstock panel. Adhere to inside of card.
Adhere a strip of one of the prints from the Winter Meadow DSP near lower edge of Basic White panel.
I loved the layout and simplicity of this card so much and of course I made more than one :).
Here's another one with just a couple different prints used for the front.
