Eek!!  The problem with prescheduled posts when you aren't paying attention LOL!  This post was set to go off some time early last week, before Christmas and now I see it posted during the night just in time for New Years.  Hope it gives you some ideas for next year.  Now I'm off to investigate what other posts are gathering dust waiting to spring on me unexpectedly :-).



Unedited portion of post:
Recently my sister in law came over to visit and make Christmas cards with me.  She wanted some ideas of what to make that would be quick and easy, be mailable, and wouldn't need a lot of expensive embellishments.  We decided that we should use images that wouldn't need colouring, since that takes so much time, so off to my stash I went in search of the perfect quick card solution.

This was a fun challenge for me, and here are four cards that each took under 10 minutes to make which I put together for her as samples.

This first one was made using two stamps, one from an older SU set, and another from CHF.  It was the most time consuming of them all.

This one uses the SU Dasher image, and DP.  Dasher is stamped using versafine ink and there are stickles spread over the antlers.

This one is a Thomas Kinkaid image stamped in Sepia Versafine on old photo paper I found in my cupboard.  The edges are inked with Creamy Caramel ink using a sponge.

This last one is my favorite, and the easiest and quickest of the bunch.  The Thomas Kinkaid image is stamped using Black Staz-On on to old glossy photo paper.  It's matted and then I added the sentiment tag (popped up) and rhinestones.

In case you are running behind getting ready for your Christmas cards, or just don't have a lot of time to spend, I hope these give you some ideas of simple cards that can be made.
