Clean and Simple Christmas Card with Matching Envelope

Hey there my friends! Daniel West, here, with a clean and simple Christmas card and matching envelope. These projects feature new items from the Fall and Holiday release this month.

LDRS Creative Supplies Used:

• Reindeer Games 4x6 Stamps

• Christmas Sentiment Stack Stamp

• Gingham Check 6x6 Stencil - 2 Pack

• A2 Envelope Liner Die

• A2 Envelope Dies

• Raven Ink

Sometimes you want to make the envelope match the card project. This is much easier if the project is also clean and simple.

To begin this project, I die cut the envelope pieces out of some lightweight cardstock. Before adhering all the pieces together with double-sided tape, I stamped one reindeer out the front panel piece with Raven Ink.

Then, I colored it in with alcohol markers and drew a bit of foreground with a fineliner pen. I added some falling snow with a blue marker all around the deer in a narrow ribbon down the front.

I finished off the trim on the deer, with gold coloring.

I repeated this process on the front of a card panel, but this time, I adde a second deer and a little bunny.

Then, I pieced together the envelope. 

Next, I die cut the A2 Envelope Liner out of the same lightweight cardstock and stenciled in some blue ink through the Gingham Check Stencils.

After that, I adhered just the top flap to the back of the envelope's top flap with double-sided tape. This gives the liner some room to adjust down into the envelope when you close it.

I love how the images and snow match on both the card and the envelope. These two projects will be sure to brighten the day of a dear friend this holiday season.

I hope you enjoyed this little project as much as I did. You can save 15% off your LDRS Creative order with code DANIELW15.
