Another Christmas card for you today featuring 2 Cute Ink's Santa Claws digital stamp.
Paper is Tactile Studio Primary digital paper pack. I've discovered that I enjoy using normal, everyday paper for holiday cards. It gives a certain freshness to the cards I like (another example of which is this Hangin' With my Gnomies Christmas card). I had in fact cut the Crafts-too Presscut step card die base and these papers to use on another birthday card, but I didn't like the look. I put them aside to use with something else and voila...something else turned out to be this card.
With the bright primary colors I didn't think much embellishment was needed so I kept it simple and added just a few mousse dots to tie it all together. The sentiment was created with Candy Round BTN font.

Never thought about using regular paper for a Christmas card... you are so right! Using the primary colors like that would normally be way out side my box. Thanks for that tip! And you were so right - no embellishment needed with that paper, especially with the fancy fold base card. That image and punny sentiment is darling by the way!
