Hello crafters! It is a clean and simple Christmas card for today's offering! I started with a piece of coconut white card as my base. I used the
Holly and Berry Border and cut it in white twice. I glued them together to get a longer border and have three full leaves on each section. I nipped away the outer partial holly sections. Next I added the leaves in green to each of the three sections by gluing them behind the hollies. I added red berries to each of the sections on top. I glued the lengthened border diagonally across the card, allowing the holly areas to turn up slightly. I cut the
Merry & Bright out of
Ruby red card and attached them to the shadow pieces which I cut in white. I glued them to the top and bottom areas of the holly for a bold sentiment statement. White on white mats and layers were used to complete the clean and simple card. The finished dimensions are 6" x 7" in size. All for now. Sue x

Hi Sue. You've already said what I thought when today's post loaded. Clean and simple with no embossed background just the colour of the Holly and Berry Border which I really must add to my festive die box. Whatever your plans for today hope it's a nice one xxx
Morning Sue and all Willsonettes, now this is my kind of card, it really is gorgeous, not too buy, so very pretty, it shows off the beautiful holly and berry die and the words, love it.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Good morning Sue and all,
a very different card today and sort of reminds me of the saying that "Less is more" It certainly stands alone and is compelling by it's apparent simplicity.
Thank you Sue .
Hugs.

Hi Sue
Gorgeous clean and simple card, love the border die. I was watching one of your YouTube videos last night and you used this Die with milk and old rose card and it was gorgeous too
Love and hugs to everyone

Hi Sue, Lovely card. love Jean Z xxx
Hi Sue, a lovely CAS card and one that would be good for batch making. The holly border is lovely and sometimes I think the sentiment should make a statement as on here rather than just being something we add on.
Frances
I like Clean & Simple :) This is lovely.
What a lovely card, the simplicity of the design makes it really stand out!
Your title of this design is right on "Merry and Bright". Classic Christmas colors and lovely. Your piecing looks fantastic. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi Sue. As you said "Clean and Simple" and this is a really lovely card that should be easy to recreate. I am sure that there are plenty of people out there who would prefer to receive a card like this rather than one with all the bells and whistles like the ones I usually send.
Lisbeth
A lovely simple card, the kind you make loads of for many friends around....thank you Sue for the great idea....luv Ursula xx
A very simple yet eye catching card. One that you could make many of at one time.
Love it! Love the simplicity of this lovely card and the Christmas colors that most of the people that I know expect to see on X-mas cards.
Hugs from Toronto
