Today’s card class is quick and easy! I am using the Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along Bundle for easy Christmas Cards. I decided to pair it with the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper. I love the winter scenes in this paper and that it does most of the work for the cards! Below, there are three cards using the Trucking Along Bundle each with a different sheet from the Designer Series Paper for the background.
Easy Card Design With Trucking Along Bundle
The Trucking Along Bundle is a photopolymer two-step stamp set. I love the added texture and look of two-step stamping. I have found that I get a more distinctive image and more even ink distribution when I use my piercing mat with photopolymer stamps. Below, is the card I made during the video. I chose to use Pool Party for the card base layered with Crumb Cake. I stamped the images with Tuxedo Black Momento Ink, Real Red and Shaded Spruce. For all three cards, my measurements and ink colors were the same.
I always decorate the inside layer of my card. However, I like to keep it simple. Here, I, simply, layered to Basic White layer with a strip of matching Designer Series Paper matted on a strip of Crumb Cake.
The video below provides the instructions for making easy Christmas cards using Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along Bundle. Further down in the post, you will, also, find the supplies, measurements and instructions with a downloadable PDF. Leave me a comment, I would love to know which one you like the best!
